    Painting Fresh Plaster - Help a noob

    I did two sections of the house in two stages, with two plasterers. First plasterer was extremely good, recommended decent good quality white paint in three stages of watering down, and the walls still look perfect to this day. Second plasterer recommended by a friend said don't bother just...

    Spec me a CCTV System

    It looks ok when you look at it like that, but in truth the quality is actually very poor. This is what people struggle with when it comes to CCTV, its not the static image quality that matters, its the recorded and ZOOMED quality. I generally find the following is a good rule of thumb for...

    LOL what the hell?

    What are these things in the corners of my house

    Looks like an old tampered junction box oddly enough. Maybe prior residents moved sensors and replaced the loose cable with a JB. In fact to be precise looks like the older variant of the CQR JB701

    Quick Question, Worth going for a 1000w PSU over a 750/850 PSU

    Price is the decider here. I did some calculations based on what my system may be in a few years with some additions and potential additional GPU or some additional backup drives for my security integrations. This is why I went 4 figures, but a single GPU system will not need it. As for...

    Has my mobo died?

    Have a look over the board, and around make sure nothing is causing a short or signs of damage/degrading caps or components. Red light usually means either CPU or Power issue so either you have a ill seated cable, short, CPU issue or something more dramatic. What were you doing when it died...

    What watch do you wear?

    I love some of these Omegas, they are literally making me drool lol. However I think at this point I would be lost without a smartwatch at both work and home, as well as from a fitness point of view. I have some half decent dress watches but they gather dust and its making me think a huge...

    Just seen FB advert on TV

    Less garbage on the feed is 90% of my reasoning, however that has changed recently.

    The RX480 has aged terribly well...

    I posted a thread before going ahead with my new rig order as I was torn about GPU choice. Ended up slamming my old Sapphire Nitro 8GB 480 in the new rig. I am gobsmacked at how powerful this card still is and how much it was bottlenecked by the old rig. If you want a budget card second hand...

    Has my mobo died?

    Have you transplated the leads also? Faulty lead or pin will cause the rig not to boot. Happened to me with a damaged 8 pin pcie lead to GPU.

    Can you help re latest Ryzen/Threadripper differences for gaming?

    TR is overkill for gaming unless you are also using the rig for production work. The most money you can spend without looking back and saying why did I bother with AMD at the moment is probably 3950/although probably 3900x. Saying that my 3700x is probably more than I need for a while, but I...

    Major Issue with new build

    Problem solved thanks all. Faulty cable mods cable to the GPU was causing the system not to boot. Replaced with the spare and good to go. Frustrating I didn’t find that earlier as I wouldn’t have had to rip my lovely cable management to pieces!

    Major Issue with new build

    For reference they are cable mod cables so I’m going to try the seasonic ones now and rule out faulty cable set

    Major Issue with new build

    Thanks for the replies so far but I’ve connected an old PSU and it’s posted immediately so either cables or psu itself is the problem disappointing :( was hoping to use tonight

    Major Issue with new build

    Yeah using my Rx480 from my old rig. This was working fine before As said however it doesn’t even seem as though power is getting down this far. I have no fault LEDs on the board showing, my AIO isn’t booting up pump or fans, nothing apart from the strix i/o cover is working. my PSU fan...

    Major Issue with new build

    Ruled out fault power button, leads look ok no pins have come out of the sockets, motherboard is getting power but something is stopping it from booting

    Major Issue with new build

    General information on build x570 Rog strix, 3700x, seasonic focus gold 1000w Only two bits of evidence for any power are the motherboard I/o cover rgb lighting and the network port flashing. Will grab a meter and check power elsewhere shortly

    Major Issue with new build

    Just gone to power up first time and have no functionality at all. MoBo has power as the strix lighting immediately started glowing, but no power is getting to anything else Have checked all terminations etc, have been extremely careful during installation and I’m at a bit of a loss to be...

    Urgent advice before I commit and send my money.
