K I'm bored so I made a little Skyrim modding guide for you Andrew Razz

Just a list of most of the best mods and how to install :l There are a lot of them but if you install them all things will look much better Wink

Woooow.... really nice tips, thanks mate, I'm going to try them all. Thank you so much

OK. I've done with it. But, when I try to launch SKSE it says "Please update to the latest version of Skyrim".

Ahhhh I think I can't update it, because I have a cracked version. I've installed cracked version just to see how is the game at all..... and now I like it lol. Buy original one? Just a 15$ for the key (download version)

EDIT: OK, problem solved, I just downloaded the older version of SKSE which is compatible with my game version (1.4.27)

Hm 1.4.27 is the latest version I think, at least that's the version I'm using Razz

I have my steam set to offline so it doesn't update and break my mods though..

Do you think it looks much beter with the mods? ;x

The last version is 1.25 as I know. And yes, i see the difference mow, especially with weapons and landscape textures

Ah good, they are much better than the official HD texture pack Wink

There are lots more improved armor textures and pretty much everything else in the game too on nexus, to many to list though.. but there is one I forgot to add to the list, Improved dragon priest masks.. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4707

andandand if you get stuck with quests or anything ;x

Thats what I did anyway. My FPS did drop when I updated though.

I can link you if you want.

lol, was just playing some swat, me and a nab against Y, Zakk and another one or two, anyway winning the whole round and it gets unbalanced so I switch teams and catch zakk in the middle of saying he thinks I cheat and Y telling him I don't in team chat Razz

I've ran UAC for zakk for a few times and he still accuses :l idk how people think UAC3 can be bypassed, I mean, you can't mess with the screenshots it takes.. I think it's just what cheaters say to discredit UAC3 ;x

I think the scan can be bypassed but the only thing you can do with the screens is replace them.

Which is a dead giveaway that you're trying to hide something. Razz

You could on UAC2, anyway. I'm not sure about UAC3.

EDIT: Nope you can't. Either that or my google skills have failed. Cool

Figured as much Razz

btw Andrew

Use this instead of RWT I linked for water

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13268

It's the same mod but one guy left the development of it and the main guy is doing it on his own now and will continue to update it, the other has been abandoned D;

Oh well, thanks.

I'd kill to have internet like this Mad

Boredum got the better of me today and I did this..

Wanted to improve temps so I was going to replace the stock paste under the IHS, I thought meh, if it dies, it dies. It's a terrible overclocker.. All went ok, didn't scratch or chip the die removing the IHS.. reinstalled it, started PC, wouldn't post, RAM led was on.. Usualy if there is not enough pressure on the CPU it happens, so I remove and clean everything again and reapply paste to the die and remounted the cooler, still the same, no post Sad

After trying lots of crap I removed one stick of ram and it boots up fine, temps dropped 10c, success kinda..

So I shut down again and remove everything trying to figure out why it won't boot with two sticks of ram and I notice what looks like a missing or severly bent pin in the socket Sad

So now I need a new motherboard... I think. :l

idk how the fuck it happened.. CPU was removed from the socket carefully, didn't do anything out of the ordinary to the socket. Just my luck ;x I recently got 8gb of ram too, now I'm back to 4gb >;l I'd attempt to straighten the pin but I have no thermalpaste left to remount afterwards! Bah. tbh though it looks as if the pin isn't even there, like there is not meant to be a pin there but looking at pictures online of other sockets, there is meant to be one there ;x

My mood keeps changing from laughing at myself to complete rage for taking a knife to a £155 CPU :D

Lol wow

I thought the only way you could bend the socket pins was to put the cpu in backwards or something noobish like that. Funny though xD lol!

lol yeah.. Me too :l I've never damaged pins before Sad

Gonna buy a new board in a week or so then try and repair this one, I don't have much confidence in my repairing ability so I think it's best to get the new board first Razz

I could of picked up a super cheap temporary board for like £40 but I'm unsure if any of the cheaper P67/H61 boards have had bios updates released to support ivy bridge :l

Oh and I've also had no feeling in the end of my finger for two days from the amount of pressure I needed to put on the blade D;

Ouch D:

Just stripped it down to attempt the repair :l I got a magnifying glass with lights 'n all Razz

The pin has snapped right as it comes out of the socket though Sad

Was hoping it was just bent.. I managed to get it to run with both sticks of ram though, but only in single channel >;l

I've heard of people bodging snapped pins by building up just enough conductive glue so that it makes contact, looks like it would be possible but I'm not gonna bother risking frying anything else and just buy a new board :l I've seen some open box P8P67 Deluxes and P8Z68's going for £70, which is not so bad I guess.

I finally got around to flashing my 5770's BIOS (never did buy a new one, just ended up spending all me monies. Sad

). It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Hardest part was trying to remember the DOS commands. Kept getting them confused with Unix. Mad

So now I'm trying to get it to BSOD D:

Nice banner, btw. Razz

Couldn't get a BSOD, but I did get it to freeze. Took it all night though, so I guess that's an improvement.

Hm what did you edit in the bios?

I can't remember what you were gonna do ;x

and lol.. I was bored the other week looking through the sigs on the stats site, forgot I had that one Razz

They never update though :l I've had another 5000 kills since, doesn't matter which I use, they never update..

I didn't edit it myself. I just found the latest bios I could for my card model and flashed.

I thought maybe the factory had messed it up and that was why the card isn't stable. :\

Posts : 980 Join date : 2010-09-26

Ah, didn't know they released bios updates for that card.

Pretty unusual for them to do that, unless there was something wrong with the bios they shipped with.

Did you notice whats different in the new bios? Clocks/voltage changed?
