The VT Boys had to do a repair

The VT Boys had to do a repair on the AMD FX8350 computer as it was running very slow, especially when running high graphics games, at first we thought it was the graphics card (GTX960) however after checking the temperature of the processor it run in the high 60 celsius which is for a FX8350 to high, so it only could be two things - the CPU was faulty or the terminal paste was gone.

We opened the case and removed the water cooler (Thanks Mr.Gadget) and cleaned the CPU and applied new paste - turned the water cooler around - closed the case again and switched the computer back on.

We opened Project Cars and run a few test laps - wow that made a real difference, now the CPU only stayed at 48 Celsius, great improvement. So now we can run the games on the higher settings and we have no delays in graphics. Great stuff.

Mr Gadget also had time to play Minecraft with VT Girl No.3 and some other games on the iPad - snakes or something. We had Lasagna for tea which I made and ice-cream for afters.
