It is with very sad news I report that BudSr aka Thad Porter passed away this morning Message from his wife Kelley on facebook "To all family and friends who have had us in their prayers these last few months I give a heartfelt thank you! My sweet husband passed away peacefully this morning around 4:30 surrounded by all my love. My heart is broken." Please continue to keep her, his family and friends in your thoughts and Prayers

He was a great member and helped me immensely with setting up this clan in the early stages to get it where it is today. RIP my friend

I’m in shock a great guy and true idiot R I P my friend

Thank you for giving us a better variety of map and thank you for supporting ithem and repairing as required. Players like us need more developers like you

RIP BudSr>XI<Admin .... you will be sorely missed by many. My condolences to his family and friends. He was one of my first >XI< friends.

My goodness, this hits me like a truck. I am in tears,.. I can hardly type/write, sorry. It seems like I am always behind in what I want to do as in contacts. I know, I can't or couldn't help them, but gosh I dearly wished that. I feel so sorry for him, Kelley and the family over there. He and his family always there to help and in the past. BudSR was always in for fun and gaming. I still have game recordings with him on my Youtube. And things I got gifted after my place burned down. I will cherish them. My old friends falling one by one. I know he doesn't suffer anymore. BudSR, I love you man and I always will. Rest in Peace, my dear friend. I miss you. ....

Making maps for CoD2 is something I would love to do, but I can't get my head around the tools!

Probibly going to have to upgrade your power supply as well. All of the newer motherboards either have a 4x4 +4 or 2x 4x4 CPU power connectors. You can get a Very good air cooler for the CPU for around $50. It's even slightly better than the big top of the line $109 Noctua NH-D15. And you don't have to worry about an AIO pump failing or the radiator fins clogging up with dust. This is the one that I got. Some people say that the fans are a bit noisy but mine is very quiet. I can't hear it over the fans on my Founders Edition RTX 2070 Super. https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-TL-C12W-S-Aluminium-Technology/dp/B0B87WZYPR/ref=sr_1_11?content-id=amzn1.sym.1b55e175-aab2-4228-be7e-b2330901df8b%3Aamzn1.sym.1b55e175-aab2-4228-be7e-b2330901df8b&keywords=thermalright+peerless+assassin+120&sr=8-11 Here check this review out. He put it through it's paces and was very surprised by it's performance. It even beats alot of the cheaper 240mm AIO coolers.

upgrade ? 1080Ti is the crown jewel, you want to SLi them for that extra edge for MB chipset is geared to PCI 2.0
