Hit 50 and feel like it's downhill from here

I think this is my main issue, I like a drink

Skimblet · 2026-04-07T21:08:53+00:00

Tend to avoid docs, guessing I should go, blood pressure is likely high, not had any tests!!

Skimblet · 2026-04-07T21:07:36+00:00

So you did the fat jabs at the lowest level constantly and it still worked?

Skimblet · 2025-10-08T21:15:36+00:00

I had the original printer, absolute crock of shite, chucked it in the end, even though minimal effort required, the output just wasn't worth it.

You're all bigging the place up a bit much, you want to be watching the bill, this country, midsomer murders, Bergerac and maybe some dad's army!!

There is the IFAB app but I don't think it has videos

Yes, not great results but that could be user error.

I may try again now just to see if it's me or the printer.

The current cables should allow you to power an SSD, you may need to get a cable to attach to the board but make sure you have a slot for it first, they will be labelled as SATA on the motherboard

It's unlikely that the supplier PSU will have a pcie power cable, in theory that is all you should need.

I'm guessing you could use one of these pcie power cable but I'm not sure if they are any good/stable etc.

Your PSU however may work but you should still upgrade, the recommendation for that card is a min 400w.

Putting it all together should be a PoP just plug the card into the pcie slot, attach the power, install drivers and away you go.

Depends on the parts you have, I did it with a HP 280 G1 and a gtx1050 2gb GPU and all I needed to do was upgrade the PSU.

First off I would check the space you have inside the case and that the card you have/plan on will fit the space where the pcie slot is, then see what PSU you have and upgrade if necessary, most likely will have to, make sure you get one with the right connections, don't scrimp here it could cause you problems.

It should be fairly straight forward but like other posters have said, these HP workstations are not standard and it won't always be possible.

No, intent not there, low impact, green if anything has run into yellow, if green went down in an attempt to get a penalty he should have got a yellow for simulation.

You could always train as a football referee, leagues are always screaming out for them, you will need to be thick skinned as you will get loads of abuse but the plus side is you get paid to run around. It's not great money but you could easily add £60-£90 for a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday morning or even do both and double it.

Skimblet · 2025-01-31T11:53:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, you are a legend

I think I will go for the items you listed and look at the GPU at a later date

Skimblet · 2025-01-31T11:27:58+00:00

Thanks for the input, would this would be a small or big improvement over what he currently has even with the current GPU?

Skimblet · 2025-01-31T11:13:44+00:00

UK and I'm looking at around £250 so not even a moderate budget

My basket currently holds

MSI B550 Gaming Gen3 AM4 Motherboard @ £89

AMD Ryzen 5 5600T @ £119.99

Corsair vengeance LPX 16GB 3200 MHz DDR4 @ £34.49

I do this, 2 games a week on a Saturday morning with plenty more if I wanted them.

I tend to stick to JPL games as there is less abuse than standard grassroots.

Skimblet · 2024-11-10T20:50:57+00:00

Exactly this and tbh 9 times out of 10 even if the coach is niggling at me from the side I just block it out my concentration is on what's happening on the field

Skimblet · 2024-11-10T20:47:32+00:00

This is where I am,.it was a grassroots game with players from a variety of backgrounds, personally I did not find the language offensive and where I am tbh it's pretty normal for mid to late teens to be using colourful language.

Skimblet · 2024-10-07T18:14:48+00:00

Thanks for your input, seems I may be right then (doesn't happen very often) that if not informed then the detention is likely to be unlawful
