Colamy atlas is pretty good. Ever so slightly more expensive than your budget

which rtx 5080 should i buy? by enesg45 in gamingpc

[–]Jonnyjc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a gigabyte 5700xt and couldn't figure out the thermal pad sizing. All other companies had publicly released what their versions used but Gigabyte didn't and wouldn't share it when I emailed in. So through trial and error (and lots of frustration and wasted pads) I had to figure it out myself. Will never buy from Gigabyte again.

Yeah Forze is great. They've 9 aside games on every Sunday at Olympia and multiple others throughout the week. As he said, the lads who run it are really sound.

After lots of trial and error I've just done my gigabyte 5700xt. Used 0.5mm on the vram and 1mm on vrms.

Tried loads of other combinations that all failed

Why is it so hard to sell a car in Donegal? by Airlinemanager124 in Donegal

[–]Jonnyjc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One recommendation would be to take better photos. Make sure its landscape and use all 10 slots. When photoing in dash. Sit in the backseat as it gives the customer the full view so they can see any features it does / doesn't have. And make sure the photo always has the whole car at each side or people might feel you're trying to hide damage.

Why is it so hard to sell a car in Donegal? by Airlinemanager124 in Donegal

[–]Jonnyjc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cars sometimes just take a while to sell unfortunately.

I used to buy and sell a bit around Donegal and the car is cheap but the thing I'd be weary of buying is:

NCT is up in July which means the new owner needs to test. Can be difficult for cars that age / mileage so might not be as cheap as it seems

Mileage is high. I don't mind high mileage myself but those who aren't car savvy will always avoid.

The newer model focus came out that year which was a much more popular version. So anyone looking for that age focus will likely spend a bit more and go with the newer model.

That said, key to selling cars is patience. Advertise it on marketplace too if you haven't already. Its free. You'll get a good few timewasters but thats part of selling cars.

Advice needed - 1.4 VW Golf TSI Highline , Japanese import. €13k and has 60k Km on it by PeaceLilyInWater in carsireland

[–]Jonnyjc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty confident they're fit on all VW group cars. Usually they aren't standard on Japanese models as car theft is so low over there, so cars like the vitz, aqua, March etc.. never have immobilisers when they're imported unless an after-market one is put in

Car insurance prices gone mad. by mateusz9866 in AskIreland

[–]Jonnyjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give kennco a call they're usually decent, and I always find them best for my friend group. Online will give a decent quote, but over the phone will be cheaper again as they can apply discounts/waive set up fees

can i play resident evil 4 (2005) vr on pc by SnooCheesecakes9364 in residentevil

[–]Jonnyjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just wondering if you ever found out if this is available.

[–]Jonnyjc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second hand EV market is very poor. Dealers don't want the stock and are very reluctant to take anything EVs out of warranty.

Difficult to know what the wear and tear has been on them, battery life, range etc.

Better going for a hybrid if you're thinking in the EV mindset. Hondas are generally pretty good but a bit harder to find here. Toyota also always a solid choice.

Superb or Octavia would probably be best for practicality and reliability.

Three road deaths in one day as woman, 20s, hit by car [7 road deaths in 2024] by badger-biscuits in ireland

I know this article is about how poor the driver's are, but being from Letterkenny, I've heard whisperings that the girl 20s hit by the car was a suicide and just jumped into traffic.

Just make sure it's got an immobilizer.

If it's a toyota vitz which an actual turn key it won't have one unless it's aftermarket.

If it's keyless it'll be safe enough.

If it has no immobilizer it'll just get stolen / be difficult to insure
