    Help choosing - 18k budget

    Thanks for the suggestions I'll take a look at these. In the mean time I came across this which for the age of the car, I'm guessing it's had an easy life so far of motorway miles. Thoughts...

    Help choosing - 18k budget

    Thanks for the replies everyone - a lot more knowledgable people here than me, which is why I posted. I've read through all the responses and I've been doing lots of research and I'm pretty set on a 4 series, it seems to tick every box for me! I came across this one, which is in snapper rocks...

    Help choosing - 18k budget

    My partner needs a car as well, so it's a case of whoever is looking after the baby that day also has the octavia that day. 420 definitely caught my eye so far, love the look of the M sport trim and coupe style 2 door versions. When I've been looking diesels seem to be much more common than...

    Help choosing - 18k budget

    Looking for some advice on a motor to choose and I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on the forums. For context our household has a 2018 octavia for running our little baby around, slowly and safely, and any long family road trips like going to the beach. I'd like a car for...

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    I had that very same thought ASMB! So when it began miraculously working very well, I swapped them back to 2 to 4 to double check they were seated right and it dropped down to the previous bad performance. Not had that issue on a build before, but I'll know in the future to swap the RAM around...

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    So I checked eve and it is hitting 600-650 fps so more of a modest increase :p Very strange though, would this just be a faulty slot on the motherboard do you think?

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    Yeah from what I found online this motherboard also uses 2 and 4 first, but either way, glad I can enjoy warzone! :D

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    Hey all - thanks so much for the suggestions and help. I have found the issue, though I'm assuming this means a motherboard fault? So normally I would always put the RAM sticks (I have 2x 8gb) in slots 2 and 4 (away from the CPU). I've tested and retested the RAM in what I've always thought are...

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    GPU utilisation is 100% in games, with CPU hovering around 30% on average I'm honestly completely stumped.

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't familiar with this setting - sadly it still typically sat around 60 on average. In busy areas it will dip down to as low as 40.

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    So ran the Cinebench R20 and it gave my CPU 4,737 score

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    It seems to be just warzone from what I can tell, but the only other game really I play is eve. I tested eve with unlimited frames and it was reaching over 500 fps. I've not got any frame caps or freesync at all. Same with the game, display is also a 144hz. I ran the 3DMark Basic Edition and...

    Poor performance - diagnostic help!

    Hi all - I mainly play eve online (which will run on a potato) and warzone at 1080p, my current system has the below specs. FPS in warzone is typically 50 to 70 fps at 1080p low settings. CPU - 3800x GPU - 6800 RAM - Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual...

    Best 1080p card for 144hz?

    Interesting replies, I've been looking at which card would be best to maximise fps at 1080p, I prefer 24 inch and that res for games like warzone. I have a 2600x (I have a wanted thread open as I'd like to get a 3xxx...5xxx are like gold dust and I have a b450 so couldn't use one until january...

    Best 1080p card for 144hz?

    I'm curious if anyone much more knowledgable than me knows which GPU out there is the best value in terms of 144hz 1080p maxed settings. For instance the 6800 would be a total waste right? Or am I wrong with this assumption?

    2600x upgrade for 6800?

    I've been lucky enough to replace my trusty Vega 56 with a 6800. My main question is that I have a 2600x right now, is it worth upgrading the cpu or would I only see minimal gains? I've always gamed at 1080p, but with the 6800 I'll be grabbing a 1440p monitor on black friday Below is my spec...

    Anchor plugs for plasterboard

    Haha, all very insightful, a lot of things I wouldn't have even considered. The only bit I was a little unsure on was the "Use a spacer, or squirt some gap filler in the night before", what's this in relation to sorry? Also thanks everyone else for the replies all very helpful!
