It is an ill-wind...

On the day before Christmas My wife and I drove up to our daughter’s in Brisbane, 100km north of the Gold Coast for an early Christmas and adoration of the sacred great-grandchild, but a few weeks old.

On the way back a weather check on the phone showed heavy storm activity in our home area, and as we approached all looked ominous.  We arrived home at the tail-end, branches down, leaves everywhere, apparently golf ball size hail. First look inside, not too bad. Then a glimpse into the computer room, all hell had come in through a wide open window, and the stand-alone computer still covered in beads of water.

Upshot is a new motherboard, which meant a new I7-7800k to fit the next gen of MB and a new 2700 GPU. 

I have taken the blame and will post first screenshots tomorrow when I get it back.  Ooh well, when needs must.

Hey Maccau. Wow, that must have been one of those moments when the stomach contracts and the brain says, "Oh NO!"  Hope the revised version at least replaces the old if not offering some improvements. We'll be hoping the best for you.
