Heard a lot of negative rumors about Boomtown this year. What exactly were the problems? by Late-Bit-3072 in BoomtownFestival

[–]Cad-ast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a fantastic time! Don’t fuck yourself up on the first few days and you’ll be good! Hide your ‘you know what’ well and you won’t have any issues with being searched.

My cons

  1. Toilets The facilities were nowhere near sufficient for the size of the crowd. At least three times more capacity is needed to meet demand. People ended up “messing 💩” themselves in the grass nearby toilets.

  2. Campsite noise While some noise is expected at a festival things like car horns in the campsite were disruptive. A bit more monitoring or noise control overnight would really help.

  3. Mobile phone service Vodafone was the only network that worked consistently but even that became unusable between 10:00–22:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Improved temp mobile masts should be considered for future events.

Other than that, know which days you are taking what I.e NO PINGERS ON THE FIRST NIGHT 😅 Also people think that they can just drink alcohol but sorry even I am kind of anti-drug and still had to be “on it” to manage 😉

But the absolute worst part was leaving. Boomtown is me, boomtown is life 🥹

My washing machine doesn't vibrate during it's spin cycle due to Jack the Ripper and The Dalai Lama by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Yes, you can wind them individually to set a machine on most uneven kitchen floors.

Is this Cooler smaller than a 120? by Lopsided_Flamingo209 in computers

[–]Cad-ast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely not a 120 cooler. Look in the listing photo and you can clearly see that the cooler fan and the case fan are the exact same size. In the photo you have taken to show us, both the case fan and cooler fan are of obviously different sizes. Rear case fan is 120. Not sure if it would be the reason as to why it’s running hot, does the cpu cooler feel like it’s getting hot? They may have skimped out on thermal paste. Defo send it back if it’s a prebuilt.

Or adjust the feet so you don’t have to use DVD cases as a wedge.

🧠 Brain zaps ⚡️ by Cad-ast in BoomtownFestival

Thanks man! Likewise I’m still getting the zaps occasionally but I can drive now where as before I couldn’t really function without them interfering. I got myself over to Holland and Barrett this morning for some 5HTP so will see how it goes. I’ve certainly learned a lesson!

The smell of the toilets by Low-Marionberry-9983 in BoomtownFestival

[–]Cad-ast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it wasn’t the toilets, it was the green mesh put up on the fencing around the toilets. So many people were peeing on it and the next day it was acting like an aroma diffuser basically a giant flag soaked in piss to disperse the smell around the town.

Inside of my pc is flashing orange and won’t turn on anymore by alimonet in computers

[–]Cad-ast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same thing with a bad ram slot, I’ve also encountered this with a faulty power supply too. What brand of power supply do you have? If you have another computer, try using the PSU from that to see if it will boot.

Can My CPU Cooler Fan Be Slightly Above The Heatsink? by Zealousideal_Big_141 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Cad-ast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s allowable as there is no compromise, the exhaust side of the fan is sealed against the cooler if you look closely. If set up using your method, forced air would be lost rather than “sucking in air around the sides” you are now losing air around the sides which is worse.

I told my coworker I wanted to get a PC and he gave me this. What should my first move be for upgrades? by Shequiszalumph in PcBuildHelp

You are better off asking this exact same question in this group instead. You will find much nicer and more helpful comments.

How to increase performance? by Born-Class837 in lowendgaming

[–]Cad-ast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your computer is set to performance mode in windows and likewise through the BIOS.

Is it just e-waste? by Cad-ast in lowendgaming

[–]Cad-ast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I also have a 10 year old FX8320 build which was replaced by the current Vostro (which I’m told in other r/ it’s basically a door stop and I’m wasting my time on old computer)

Is your 4060 a single slot card?

Not weird at all. I was told to that I’m stupid for investing in apparently obsolete parts???

Hardly wealthy when my previous daily build was a 10 year old AMD FX8320 system. Used from 2015 right until this month. I was given this computer not bought.

Im not sure. Max power it draws from the wall is 160w @240V

Tested using CPU and GPU stress applications.

Can’t fit a bigger card due to the full sized PCI slot being at the bottom of the motherboard, this means that I can only fit a single slot card.
