    Is ryzen worth buying used?

    R3 1200 " not worth getting" Really? Do you read reviews? Its a stormer..........Forget the 1300, 1400 it can equal those using less power and remaining cooler.......Brilliant CPU for SFF builds......I run one on an Asrock AB 350 Fatal1ty-Gaming ITX ac with an XFX R7-240 GPU............The 1200...

    Raspberry Pi 3 as a media player.

    Pi3 or even 2 is overkill for the job, a B+ is enough, maybe even a zero. I use a B+ running MOODE through the network to a NAS, B+ has a DAC fitted with RCA ports so cabled up to a T amp........... Easy access to 1GB plus of tracks and control by phone, tablet, laptop etc. Could stream it...

    HTPC build #2

    Pico psu is fine for these boxes, just when using a hungry GPU card you need more, sfx, ATX etc. I run a G3258 on an ASRock H97m-itx/ac with 8GB Hyper, an 850EVO boot with 1TB 2.5HDD Tosh, using a Gelid Slim Silence just because the case is very small. set in BIOS for silent fan and it...

    Watercooling an itx cube or micro tower

    I have an Evo Labs E-A2 and it can take a full size ATX PSU but like many I suspect if this class tha can take a full size PSU the remaining space for any CPU cooler is then very restricted. I use a Silvtretta cooler with a G3258K and it is silent and cools very well, but I am running at stock...

    HTPC Build (£211)

    If it is a stud wall then not too hard to make an aperture for the box. If a solid wall then not worth it. Also see point made by Jude. How will you cool the CPU at 4k? I doubt a small ITX enclosure can take a cooler to do the job. Plus the graphic card you will need to output 4k, which...

    HTPC Build (£211)

    You honestly could not find a smaller case? Really? Just look at that motherboard in there......Like a suitcase in the Albert Hall. and the mounting on the wall? Why? It is ugly, and must be a real distraction when watching that screen. As others have said, that Pentium K chip is overkill, and...

    Evo labs

    Been a while. Well, I have used this case 24-7 since last posting and it is just sitting there doing its job, nothing bad or untowards to report. Saying that, I intend some changes soon which will test its thermal qualities and I will duly report the finding. Right now its got an ASrock...

    Printing multiple photos on one A4

    OS is 7-64 and strangely enough I downloaded Paint.net yesterday. I was hoping to avoid printing individually because of the waste of photopaper, but if its the way to do it then I will have to go that way.Thanks for tips. I did think about freebie copy of Photoshop to try that way.......

    Printing multiple photos on one A4

    I have been asked to print out some photos to fit into one of those frames with a precut mount for various size pictures, all small EG: 75mm X 55mm. Cannot think how to scale pics down to right sizes and get all onto one sheet of Photo (A4) paper. Printer is a Canon MG6150 Help appreciated.

    Alpenfrohn Silvretta.

    If I get one I will definitely do a findings report, at the same time report on the case that also has no feedback, reviews or tests either. Thats the Evo Labs e-a2. I ordered one and its not a bad little case at all, very sturdy and decent fit and finish. Might have to mod for better airflow...

    Alpenfrohn Silvretta.

    Ta, Yes, seen that one, seems the only one around. Few more on Amazon.De but nothing from lab tests or review sites. Does seem worth a try though!

    Alpenfrohn Silvretta.

    Anyone any experience with this cooler? Specifications, price and a seemingly well thought of brand, all point to it being a good solution for me. There is one good feedback on the OC components/cpu cooling sales page, but not much else about in terms of tests or reviews, so would welcome...
