    New PC £1000ish budget

    I ended up getting the ASUS PSU I mentioned above. Thanks. Anyone know how long it takes for OCUK to ship on average? I ordered at 13:00. Was hoping it would be something I could look to build at the weekend.

    I have no idea where to start, please help if you can

    How can you get it for free? I have Windows 10 on my current PC but I'd imagine my son will want it so the current Windows licence can't be transferred?

    Thanks for that. I would prefer to keep it tidy in the case so I guess modular is a good shout. Will go for https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-rog-strix-650w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-05d-as.html

    New PC £1000ish budget

    Hey all. I need to upgrade my ageing PC. It's a pre-made PC I got from OCUK about 10 years ago. Intel Core i5-2500K Radeon R9 380 8GB RAM Acer SA24Y monitor To be honest it's still a great PC. General application usage is fast. Light gaming is fine but the game I play most, Guild Wars 2...

    Your Backup codes - Important

    Just don't lose your key I have a tag on mine to help me locate it.

    Your Backup codes - Important

    Yeah. For the most part you're told to get a second key. The alternative is to use use OTP or backup codes. Obviously backup codes and OTP are software so these lessen your overall security when owning a physical hardware key. Majority of sites force you to have OTP or codes as a backup method...

    Your Backup codes - Important

    Yeah, they are not cheap. There's also a real lack of support from sites. It's only large sites that support them and even then some large sites don't. Eg Microsoft. Oddly enough it's a xenforo feature so these Overclockers forums support hardware keys.

    I just switched from Aegis (Android) to a Yubikey with their OTP app and (where supported) U2F. My codes are stored in KeePass along with all my other passwords. I'd like to use BitWarden but I can't give up KeePass's Auto-type feature.

    I signed up for the account but honestly it's not really used. It's only really used for Microsoft services.

    Ha. I can totally relate. When outlook.com launched I grabbed [email protected] I've had pizza receipts. A car receipt from VW and even the guy sending his work payslips. Ironically the guy lives in the same city as me. Small world.

    2fa is a login overhead/annoyance up until it actually protects you from someone gaining access to your account. It's like data backups. Another adminstrative overhead, up until you actually need to restore something. Personally, I wish more sites enforced 2fa.

    Bumping this because I too failed the basic steps of saving my backup codes and got myself locked out. Bailed out with the help of Feek. I'm normally vigilant with this stuff but for some reason completely failed on this occasion. Backup codes are now recorded and my account has been upgraded...

    They are still willing to repair out of warranty then?

    Nexus 5 2015 refresh

    It's still in warranty? My wife has a 5x and it's already been to LG once due to boot looping. I fear it will happen again at some point but the phone is out of warranty now.

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Hi guys, I just started looking around to replace my router as the amount of wireless devices on my network is too much for it. It's centered in the middle of my house under the stairs so all devices are having to go though walls to get connectivity. I'm thinking a USG and two AP's. One for...

    NEST thermostats

    Page 36 of the manual shows an image of where the thermostat will be wired into. It shows a loop but you won't have that as you already have a thermostat. Basically those two cables go into the heat link. You just then take 240 into the heat link and put a two core cable from the heat link into...
