I know! Who cares anyway, all Graphics cards are overpriced and if you've got the money so what. The RTX 4070 TI is a great product but just overpriced.

Interesting, why would it cause issues? Its just the same mounting as the Intel mechanism - in fact it seems to put less stress on the board than the spring lever?

Just installed one of these on my Asus z690 Prime and I91300K. Everyone with a 12th or 13th gen Intel system should just buy one - I cant believe how crap it makes the horrible bendy spring loaded mechanism of Intel boards look! Temperatures dropped 6 deg immediately! Don't be put off by some of...

I'm still waiting for my Nitro XTX - currently running a Sapphire XT which I have had zero issues with and think its an impressive card. The intention is to sell at a bargain price but I almost feel like keeping for another system! I don't understand all the hate reviews of the XT, we all know...

I just used the Microsoft Media Creation tool. I think this is a Bios bug whereby the Installation tool can't see TPM and Secure boot enabled. Thanks for the link and guide.

The weird issue is that when I boot the system which has a windows install on it says it meets the requirements! I may end up having to install windows 10 and then update to 11. I had the GPT issue with my sons PC but this should be OK.

So my system was upgraded to Win 11 earlier this year and I had to enable the usual TMP/Secure boot settings. I now come to reinstall with a copy of Win 11 and it tells me the system doesn't meet the requirements! Asus Prime Z690 -latest Bios SEcure boot enabled. Help!

Why do manufacturers still put a CD in the box - be easier if they just used a nice branded usb drive.I can’t be arsed with finding an external CD drive and some new boards haven’t got all the drivers up on sites yet.

Luckily I cloned my drive to a spare SSD about 4 days earlier so haven't lost anything important. I have new drive arriving today. Arcronis is a friend for life - should do this every week!

I may have bent it slightly but I was as careful as possible -I wont be sticking highly adhesive heatsinks on the new one I can guarantee that!

I bought a WD Black SN850 drive a few weeks back and added an Akasa stick on hetasink. Today I rebuilt my system with a new board and removed the heatink in order to make use of the onboard heatsinks. The heatsink was really stuck on but I managed to get it off with just my fingers and no tools...

I'm in the same position here - CPU and board arriving tomorrow but no one knows an ETA for any DDR5 ram. Very frustrating isn't it!

Am I I right in assuming the launch and shipping of Alder lake CPU's will be tomorrow however we wont see the boards for a couple of weeks?

Yes have already been advised by OC to purchase this kit so will go with an NZXT -at least its an option!

What has happened with this launch? never known anything like it. I have a new CPU and coming and you can't actually buy a cooler that works out of the box! Surely its so simple to supply stand offs that reduce the height by 1mm to enable proper contact. I now have an 18 month old Corsair AIO...

Anyone experienced anything similar: PC hasn't crashed since I installed windows a year ago. Recently installed two games on steam, Cyberpunk and Horizon Zero Dawn. Cyberpunk was running really well but had a blue screen which then resulted in Steam reinstalling the game several times..now...

Looks great and excellent voice acting and environments.....but boy its hard work! I cant say its very enjoyable yet!

I'm looking at buying this drive to install on an ASUS Prime motherboard that already has heatsinks for an M.2 drive. Question - do I remove the heatsink off this drive or install it in an open slot that isn't under the motherboard built in heatsink? Does it make a difference in which slot you...
