Nice deals but slightly miffed, ordered the 9700k couple days ago under the impression that was the sale price and now its £12 cheaper ..

Perfect! Ordered my 9700k ;)

Do the 9700k CPUs include any game bundle promotions? Seen a couple floating around

Only reason I wanted to upgrade is because I currently have the funds to do it and looking at future game releases only the following are on my list (which I know my 1070 will struggle with): - BFV - Division 2 - Gears & Halo - Cyberpunk As none of those are anytime soon I guess I could just...

Yeah really in no rush for the GPU, CPU is lagging behind so will be upgrading that during the Black Friday sales. Could wait for price dips on the 2080, 1070 is serving me okay for the current games I'm playing (extra FPS + settings would be nice though but not a deal breaker) Hate having...

Current specs are: i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz 8GB RAM EVGA 1070 I use the rig strictly for gaming with an ultrawide monitor at 3440x1440p 100Hz. Going to be upgrading the rig to an 8700k and 16GB RAM. Currently not using the rig much apart from Siege and Rocket league, also with RDR2 and BOPS4 out I...

So tried old motherboard, new PSU, new CPU, new RAM. Still doesn't work. I bent some of the pins on the new motherboard so I can't really test the entire new build out. Might have to just order ANOTHER one. Pre-bent pins: I tried new mobo, new PSU, old CPU, old RAM. I've tried different...

Lucky, I just tried a fresh new stick of RAM and that doesn't work either. I'm actually lost.

I left it out for 20 minutes but that didn't do much good. I tried starting it without any RAM installed and the motherboard finally gave 1 long beep and 2 short beeps which rules out the RAM. Looks like the CPU is the main offender here. Have to downgrade from a i5 2500k to i3 3220 =[...

I know exactly how you feel: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=26719500&posted=1#post26719500 I'm having the exact same problem, a new CPU and RAM stick should come for me tomorrow (meaning I'll have a completely new rig almost) Seeing as you've tried replacing RAM though, what...

I haven't tried that, I'll give it ago tonight. If it still doesn't beep then surely it must be the CPU?

PSU works fine. I bought a speaker for the motherboard yet I'm getting no beeps at all. It spins for longer now but still no video output and then it just dies, and then the fans restart spinning.

I've had no USBs plugged into the motherboard when testing it, I haven't been able to memtest the RAM since I don't have another rig I could test it under but I may pick up a cheap 2GB stick during my lunch (that's the next big culprit I think). Really frustrating since I now have to return the...

I'll take a look and give that a try, but if I installed a different motherboard that should have told me it's not the mobo? I'll download it now anyway (anything is worth a shot, I'm stumped)

I don't think so, I haven't updated the BIOS since I built it.

I've had my rig since 2012 now and it's been working fine up until now. When booting it one day it wouldn't recognise my SSD (but I've had that problem before) and I usually fix that by doing a few cold boot cycles. However when turning my PSU on and off again I noticed a burning smell and when...

Using a 680 (latest drivers, Windows 8), great performance but on one of the maps i'm getting purple textures and the occasional flickering.

I just did it, joined a game using the VPN, turned it off and it kicked me but i'm joining another game now and it seems to be working fine.

Not long until we find out then :D time to stick the kettle on.

Bought from the MX Origin store (with premium) for £45, pre-load all ready, so in 30 minutes I just connect to the Korean VPN, restart origin and it will 'unlock the files'. Does this mean I can disconnect from the VPN just as its unlocking the files and jump straight into online or do I have...
