So... What oiled your gears today?

1) The RAM for the new system arrived today, an hour os so later it was up and running.
2) Discovered the joys of installing an OS to a virtual disc, so to make a backup or a new install of the OS I just copy the single file.

The patient survived the heart-transplant* and has woken up

Now to try Tainted Grail. Last night I tried power-limiting the GPU by -6% (which is all AMD let you do these days) but to still had a power-off. Fingers crossed the Corsair does the trick.

While I was at it I hoovered all the cat dust from the case, cleaned the rad and fans. Seems a lot quieter and the RGB stuff looks lovely again

New motherboard arrived, was so careful instlling CPU you'd have thought I was defusing a bomb ... anyway, all working perfectly, along with the RTX 3080 I'd just bought.

Gears well and truly oiled

Next, dug out the Samsung Odyssey+ VR kit I bought away back on 22/11/2019 ... connected it and apart from an issue with the controllers to begin with, I eventually had it up and running.

Woooooohooooo, absolutely fantastic, not as good as the Index, especially with regards the controllers, but I can now go and play Half Life: Alyx ... I've been waiting a long time for this.

Gears now dripping with oil

V5 for the GT turned up. Bearing in mind it was Tuesday evening the details were changed online, that's a quick turn-around. There are some things the DLVA does very well.

Adjusted the back door with an allen key to improve the alignment and lubricated the locking tab parts with moly grease. It no longer sticks and no longer requires physical violence to lock.

It took me 10 minutes. It'd been like that for at least 5 years.
