Personally I prefer a real ale, or a kellerbier (on tap) any day.
I don't like excessive, be it alcohol content or hops or funny yeast cultures or whatever. A well made beer, preferably draught, does it for me.

I love a good stout. It'd buy it (well, one at least)

Well, now I finally fully understand the uproar in the EU over Brexit.
Any place they'd pay that much for a beer is the place I'd want to market my goods.

Seen as some of you have missed me......or maybe some of you have been glad that I've not been around, and some sheep hurling gave me a nudge in the lounge the other day.
Well things have been a bit busy over the last year or so, changing companies as part of the oilfield license takeover in Qatar, then having to move out of the country residential wise due to T&C changes, and move the wife and kids to Cyprus and new schools etc. etc. Then a few months after they got settled, having to move rental villa again, due to the owner deciding she was selling.
I've also been back in the UK, doing some work on that house, as looking to put it up on the market, with a view to settling down for a few years in the sun, and hopefully see the kids through school in Cyprus.
I've not been doing a lot of any coding/RasPi/Arduino or anything along those line, just don't know where the time goes.
The only thing I have done is build myself a new PC, with full watercooling on the CPU and Dual GTX1080ti. It had been a while since I had done anything on here, so decided to do a build log and benchmark pair of articles, so those of who are interested can have a nosey. You can find it at: Serenity - New Build Time - Part 1 - The Build
Hopefully now I have a new box, that doesn't deafen me every time I turn it on, I'll hopefully get back into 'stuff' again.
Think that's us all caught up now! Oh, and we got a dog earlier in the year, rescued a Boxer/Staffy cross from the local shelter in Paphos. Coral, she's ace.
Anyone else got any news/gossip?

I built a new system over the weekend. My kid asked me about how water cooling is done (yeah, like I'd know).
Maybe I'll point him at your article.
On the motherboard I selected I notice that there are four places where fans -- or pumps!? -- can be connected.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeh, more than likely, I noticed that on my board, it has a stack of them as well.
AIO Pump, CPU Fan, CPU Option, Water Pump, Chassis Fan 1, Chassis Fan 2, M.2 Fan, Ext. Fan
Things have moved on a bit since CPU Fan, Chassis Fan and that was it!

My chassis fan isn't connected to the motherboard; I think it's always on. But it's quiet.

Was very fascinating to read them... You got a pretty monster there to feed...
Can I ask how much you payed for the parts? In my experience building a computer instead of buying pre-made is 2.2 times cost more when the features within 85% barrier (means the pre-made PC has the power between 85% to 100% of the home-made)...
I built my last computer some 4 years ago, but nowadays I'm thinking that it is a waste of money to build a new one every 5-6 years instead of buying one ever 3-4... But utter fun!

In total it is probably a $6k build, I had the GPUs and PSU from previous update, so all the new stuff this time, MB/CPU/RAM/SSD + all watercooling parts + case was around €3.5k

At the risk of sounding thick  why do you need water cooling ?

primarily noise.
Secondary, you can push overclocking further with watercooling over standard air cooling.

And (no spoilers here!) realised that this song: Every Breath You Take[^] is the "Unofficial Stalkers Anthem", and that it was originally written and performed by the Police ...

I always thought that song could be misconstrued. Any guess what the 'Official Stalkers Anthem' might be?...probably 'Gonna Get Close to You' by Queensryche.
Also, the Police also did a song about teacher/pupil improper relationships.

Sting once said that he found it funny when this song was played at things like weddings as it is a song about stalking.
