I have to admit, those guys out there to kill you in the wasteland known as The Commonwealth are truly brave. I've singlehandedly killed a skyscraper full of super mutants, yet Fists, their leaders, thinks he can kill me. And he isn't alone. I've only met two raiders who chose to run after a bullet hit them. Those two are the only raiders I've met that are still alive.

Some might call this stupidity though.

Time to face the children of atom I guess. They got those nasty rad guns.

It hit Norway almost 2 weeks ago I think.

I got it. Haven't played it that much yet. Only level 6 or so. Mainly because living outside the city means almost no pokemons. I have a 25 minute walk to work... if I am lucky there are a couple of pokemons showing up as a I walk by the hospital right next to work, otherwise there is nothing. I know there is a lot more happening down town, so I might take a trip tomorrow to Aker Brygge in Oslo... Just to catch these god damn pokemons. Whoever came up with these ideas... Both pokemon universe and pokemon go. I don't know whether to salute you or yell at you. This game is a trip down memory lane for me. It's been a while since I played Pokemon Yellow on GameBoy Colour.

Recently vent out of Vault 111 and now discovering the wast Commonwealth. So far worked a bit with the Minutemen and had one encounter with the Steel guys. Met some Synths as well.

And what perks to choose? I get it that this game has no hard level cap so it is possible to get them all... I think I will end up doing that. Atm though I can not really decide what to pick. I opted for a few Luck based so far. Remembering that Mystery Man has served me well in earlier games.

If you read my last blog, you will know I've changed some hardware in my main computer due to hardware problems with my old motherboard.

I expected it to be the CPU that failed on me since I de-lidded it. However that was not case, I managed to bend 3 pins down in the CPU socket. This is on a 1155 socket, CPU is 3570K. That the CPU was still working was something I hoped for when it was the red RAM light that didn't turn off. Removed most of the RAM and tested with a single stick in 2 of the 4 RAM slots. No go. After trying to bend the pins back and testing more with the RAM slots, I learned the RAM slot 3 and 4 worked. Good, but not great. This allows me to use the computer, but I'm stuck with single channel memory.

Today I tried again to fix it. While trying to bend them back, I managed to break one of them, bend one correctly, and the last one seemed to have gone back into its small hole. Still two RAM slots not working. I cut a piece of electrical wire I had laying around. I knew it wasn't one thick wire, many small ones. Took out a couple of them and tried to use them as replacement for the broken, and hiding pins. It worked. How well I don't know. But I can boot into bios again with 4 RAM sticks inserted and it will run at 1600MHz again.

Put everything into place in my old Obsidian 550D case and tried once more. Still working :D Though probably jinx it with posting this blog here. Anyway I will order a 240-250GB SSD and try to install an OS again and see if it will run. If, and a big if I guess, everything works fine, I'll overclock it again. I de-lidded it because I wanted to push it further than 4.5GHz as a day to day OC. I've had it at 4.7 during benchmarks when it was winter and I had it really cold in my room. However too hot to work in normal room temperature.

Sadly I got no pictures of the "fix" and damaged socket itself. Only this I took once it booted into bios with all RAM sticks inserted... Oh and the red light is because of a missing HDD/SSD.

Since I managed to damage my motherboard during when I removed the CPU somehow I have upgraded to a Skylake i5 6600K, still 16GB RAM, but now running at 2800MHz, DDR4, instead of 1600MHz, DDR3.

Currently trying to find a stable voltage setting for 4.5GHz. I read that running Prime95 is no longer a good idea so I have tried one called ROG RealBench. From what I have tested it does seem to be a tad more realistic than synthetic benchmarks like Prime95. I mean the loads it creates for your CPU to deal with.

Granted if it is stable enough for my use I will only know once drop this testing and start foldimg actively again on it.

Hopefully I will manage to recover my old mobo, and have that up and running again as well. I will need a hdd or ssd for storage for it, Can use the internal GPU and the rest needed I already got laying around.

Finished Until Dawn today. I don't think I did so bad. More specific details in the spoiler below.

I enjoyed the game a lot. I'll most likely play through it again. Doing things differently than this time naturally. But now Fallout 4 awaits.

Things had gone better than I first suspected (last blog), but some have died. Like most definitely dead. And some weird revelations. Like mindblowing ones. I think.

This is one game I recommend on PS4... Not that I've played many PS4 games. The other being Uncharted 4.... The rest are PS3 remastered games.

Picked it up again after playing it for a total of 5 minutes before I got Uncharted 4... And well I don't think things are going well in this game. I have already lost 2-3 of characters and I have only been playing for an hour.

Yesterday, 17th of May was the celebration of the constitution in Norway. 202 years old now. We were technically not an independent country when it was made, however there was a gap (sort of, or confusion) in the time that passed by after Napoleon lost the war. Denmark sided with Napoleon, if he lost, Norway was supposed to go to Sweden. Which it did. In this transition time the old leaders of Norway somehow managed to write and do the necessities to create the Constitution. Sweden was also kind enough to let us have it even if they were in charge.

Uncharted 4 arrived yesterday. Though I might wait until after exams before I play it. That means another month waiting =/

Also got a new radiator for liquid cooling loop in PC. I'll be switching a EK SE 360 with a XSPC RX480V3... Basically a 3 fan radiator with a 4 fan one that is double the thickness. I want some new fans as well before I hook up it.
