    Remember the BIOS update that "fixed" that problem. "Fixed" I say.

    Some days, I kind of just want to have at a Razer notebook with a Prema modded machine next to it and with otherwise the same specs and just like, run a game for an hour on each and then check performance.

    I've been following that thread closely - Linus' rant really created a lot of fuss :D - though most people agree 4 grand is too much for it.

    I know this is good chit-chat, but way off topic. Can you guys move this conversation to PM?

    Well then, I guess I'll leave it till somewhere around the 12-13th? Again, really not rushing. I just sort of miss gaming. No fix for this screen yet, will give it some more attempts later.

    D2 is always quick to help and advice, I´ve been getting alot of both myself in PMs. His technical guides are detailed and to the point and I bring popcorn for the late night, rant-flavored novels.

    I hope you get a nice machine that´ll serve you well my friend!

    @Phoenix $100 USD donation sent

    This way when I overclock it for the benches I can be like "SHIFT INTO TURBO!" and then it kicks more butt.

    Hi guys,

    I know this isn't the appropriate place but I am trying to get directly in touch with Phoenix. He's really helped me in the past. Because I'm a newbie member, I can't start a conversation with him or pm him. I thought because he seems to be active in this thread that I would just leave a post so that he or someone else could help me get in touch. I just need some expert advice on my system from him. It would be highly appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance and sorry for the intrusion!

    Put @Phoenix in your post and he will see that you have mentioned him. If he has time, he will reach out to you. However, you should put your model and configuration in your signature so that people here can help you better.

    @Phoenix: just got my army pay. 20 SGD sent. It's not much and it might come out to a weird number in USD but it's all I can afford... Hope @D2 Ultima likes his new machine.

    I was hoping for the P870DM3, and I'm actually close to affording 1080 SLI.
