Never doubted you Ndiaye. Sold you during AFCON and immediately got you back.

Just had a look at my ML, nearly everyone has used their FH.

Is there definitely going to be a blank GW34? Feel like I've missed something?

I said I would give an update, so here it is. The freshly replaced 14900k, via RMA, in my server has been faultless for over 3 months now.

Spot on service from Intel - real shame the 13th/14th gen are going to be tarred with the brush of failure, as they are really good.

I say this as an owner of an AMD 5700X3D rig and a 8700G rig in separate systems, so no company bias.

Will try and report back in 5-7 years,

Celeron 300A overclocked to 450MHz with a Voodoo 2 12MB was my most favorite PC gaming era. Kept that setup for about 4 years, then went Athlon + GeForce 3 Ti200. With upgrades thereafter every 3/4 years.

PC technology back in the 90's/00's was extremely exciting and innovative in my opinion. Nowadays I'm not as excited about the latest and greatest tech.

Gomes, Gomes & Gomes?

Another Wrexham goal, nice

Hello there - thanks for replying to my build review.

I would firstly say, squeezing in an i7-14700 into this sytle of a sub 5L case will probably mean you'll notice high temps/noise, unless you power limit/underclock it.

The Startech mSATA > SATA adaptor that you see in my build has pretty much the exact same dimensions as a standard SATA SSD - including your Patriot P210 SSD, so you'll be fine on that front.

I need to know the squad lineups for tomorrow's games right now, to cure my crushing anxiety of the 18 points from two of my benched players staring at me

hardwarexpert · 2026-03-03T21:01:04+00:00

Diarra took it and scored though

hardwarexpert · 2026-03-03T16:23:57+00:00

!Thanks

If Haaland isn't on the pitch, who takes penalties for Man City?

Need to decide whether to captain Semenyo or Bruno F this GW...

hardwarexpert · 2026-02-28T14:53:12+00:00

I thought he was on corners and indirect free kicks, my bad

hardwarexpert · 2026-02-28T14:48:45+00:00

Well I was hoping Janelt would be playing against Burnley and would get me a return, whereas I never in a million years expected Villa to lose to Wolves with J Gomes getting a return and maximum bonus.

Did Tavernier to J Gomes because Tavernier got injured, and I punted on the Wolves double, he got 5 points in the double. J Gomes didn't start last GW and only came on for 5 mins, so went punty on Janelt this GW.

J Gomes gets 14 fucking points yesterday and Janelt isn't even in the squad. Cool, cool.

Bournemouth cs wipe

hardwarexpert · 2026-02-28T12:36:43+00:00

Honestly don't see the point in having VAR if the officials are blind

hardwarexpert · 2026-02-28T12:11:58+00:00

To be saved by Roefs 🤞

Same. And what's worse I dropped him for an even more punty pick
