Ryzen and suitable mobo is over 50 quid cheaper than a standard intel combo. Possibly get a 1060 3gb for 180 squids.

Wait wait wait... hold up... I’m still the only Man City supporter here? Flippin heck I’d have thought that there’d be more since I posted here like 2 years ago. And I’ve just probably set myself up for a cliche retort...

Pardon my ignorance but is a clean install just using a new HDD? Also I think it’s a retail version because I bought windows 7 from online years ago and then updated it free to 10.

You mean when I go ahead and activate it, I put in an email linked to a MS account.

Im getting a new build and the only thing that won’t be new is the HDD, as it’s from an old PC but has windows 10 on it. Question is - will I need to rebuy windows and activate it or is it just as simple as plugging in the HDD and then booting it up to the windows password screen?

What's it like getting a full rig ordered with all parts picked separately from OCUK. Anyone here done it? Did it come the next day and what packaging will it come in? Are OCUK reliable to do this?

Would this cooler work https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cooler-master-masterliquid-lite-120-aio-cpu-cooler-hs-07j-cm.html

Would a standard had fit in this case as well?

I'm hoping to build a new rig and there are so many cases to choose from, so I'm asking for some help from the OcUK community. Here are my premises: - A case with a small form factor (smaller than a normal ATX, perhaps larger than some of the really small cases) - Maybe a cube case - Up to...

I just charged my phone and the power button is working fine now. The volume buttons are still haywire and don't change the volume linearly. I cleaned them by blowing on it and dabbing a little bit of antibac alcohol around it.

I have a Lenovo P2 and, after trying to clean my volume and power buttons to make them more clicky, the bloody buttons are messed. Whenever I try to press volume down, it increases the volume. Also my power button (which is far away from the volume rocker) NOW CHANGES THE FLIPPIN VOLUME! I...

Scratch that. Using realtemps to measure it now and im barely going above 80c on prime95. What the hecks up with HWmonitor?

I have a 3570k and have had it for 3 years now. Running an overclock of 4.5ghz on stock volts for 2 years - never had any problems. Lately, however, i checked the temprature and idle it is around 35c, but on prime95 i got max 94c (only on core1) and other cores are on around 87c. Gaming i get...

Both CPU cooler fans are running fine. No noise and air is blowing out of them as usual.

Run nowt in the background. Can't be arsed reinstalling windows but I did DDU my GPU drivers. Also have a pretty decent Noctua air cooler.

I've also noticed that my GPU's backplate gets very hot and it sits right below my CPU cooler - could this be increasing my CPU temps? And is it also why I'm getting low FPS in games?

Need to talk about a number of things: - My PC underperforms in games and FPS is usually low and can drop in spikes occasionally (bearing in mind I have a 980 ti) - GPU temps are fine (40c normal usage and max 75c load) - CPU temps are pretty weird (load I got max 88c on prime95 and gaming...
