it will aytomatically updated after the steam intalls a patch

The reason you have those "shaders" in the cache folder is so that next time you fly in the same area, the game doesn't have to generate all those shaders again. Just grabs them from the cache folder.
Is good idea to clear the cache after you change some graphics settings so the game can generate new textured based on the new video settings.

I don't delete the skins from the cache unless something about how skins are handled changed. I don't want the game to download all of them again when i go online.

Thats better put, thanks Jaws:)

Right, delete everything in the folder and the subfolder, not the folder or subfolder itself.
It is supposed to give you a performance increase by doing this little clean up, however when you first fly a mission due to the game rebuilding the folders you may notice slight stutters, the increase will come, according to forum posts, when you fly for a second time.
I did it, but I think its more of a valid thing after for example a patch (clean out the old stuff and rebuild with the newest), since I bought the game with the last patch already on it it didn't really make much of a difference for me.

If I may ask, and yes it's of topic, how do you like that water cooler, doc?
I know you must like it otherwise you wouldn't have it :rolleyes:, just asking, a bit torn right now between buying a Noctua NH D14 or a little watercooler like you have.

And I have to agree, don't worry about cluttering the forum. You have a question, so ask, maybe others have the same question as well and instead of digging around there are actually people here who are willing to answer to their best knowledge, even if it has been asked before and not sit on a high horse and tell people to go shooo, you are not worthy.
Remember, the higher the horse the harder the fall.

the Noctua cooler is HUGE. I mean really HUGE.:lol:

It's almost touching the side panel in my Antec 900. You better have a big case for it. I had to change the corsair memory to G.Skill, because it wouldn't fit under the cooler block.

HAF 922, looked on their website and MB is ok, RAM is ok, I do expect to have to take ou the door fan though.

There's not too much clearance under that Noctua big block, so it could interfere with the memory. If the memory has big heat sink you may not be able to instal the cooler.

At the moment i cant fault the water cooler, does what it says on the tin :)
Best thing about it is the fans and radiator are noway near it, so theres plenty of room
Plus i keep'd my thermaltake armor case, from my old build, so i got plenty of room, for now

Thanks jaws,:grin:, I might have the same memory like you, at least I have the same brand and speed and in Noctuas's compatability list all of gskill's memory, has a green check mark as well as my mobo (guess the backplate couts here) and they have even all of the new AM3+ boards listed as compatible.

Sorry, didn't mean to go so far off topic.

Must be good too, you have a pretty serious overclock there, very nice.

Ahhh, decisions, decisions :grin:
