    dust busting

    Figured worth a share, I have used a fair few cans of compressed air in the past and looked at this and ended up paying £70 for a blower. First time I used it, I dumped a large pile all over the kitchen work top and ended up taking everything outside with an extension lead to remove loads of...

    Moving house - do I need to remove cooler in my PC?

    have had a pc "delivered" by a now out of business courier company, the case damage was as if they dropped it out of a first floor window as the internal chassis had bent by 5mm and all the secured drives were bouncing around the chassis. old underwear and the like is an alternative packing medium

    M.2 Installation issues.

    Upgraded a pc with new mobo, cpu and m2 I removed the other drives and installed windows to the M2, pointless trying to boot off a slower drive when you have an m2. when all sorted I put back 3 drives and 1 dvd as sata ports 5 and 6 are disabled when an M2 is in use

    Downloaded the windows iso creation tool and made a new usb stick so with luck that will work as the rufus one had uefi issues Noticed a tag of blue tape on the side of the panel with all the usb's so the motherboard needs to come out to remove that and probably the m2 at some point as found a...

    Turned on the new pc and can boot into bios the rufus bootable windows iso thing was needed as ms in their wisdom decided to do away with an OS that fits onto a DVD and would need a dual layer, so will see if I have any older iso's that can burn to dvd. it is quiet and keeps bugging me about a...

    No spin no noise, no vibration Am a personal user, most but not all is backed up, will have a play with partition magic soon. It is connected with a usb to SATA connection, allows the old boot drive to be accessed, did not work when plugged into the pc with side off

    Dead 8 TB SATA

    Main pc recently died, SSD boot drive is ok, as managed to get "protected" files out of the user area and then the win10 license key. Sata drive is a brick. Most of it is backed up, tried recuva, but no joy. Can anyone recommend recovery software for the stuff not backed up. Not worth paying...

    8 TB drive is fine, the interface seems to be designed for SSD only got the pc about half built and the first attempt at cpu cooler fitting ran into issues with the ram height seems ok now, but might need to be creative on the gpu cooling or dump the AIO water cooler fitted to it, that means...

The board and cpu are probably dead to me, the ram is under lifetime warranty and intending to put it to a spare pc as this backup crashes a lot, drives will be reused I suspect did not manage to test the titan, but with luck it is...

    Got this lot in basket and pending: Took a look on other drives and realised that I have games on the HDD as well as a full 256 GB ssd, so a larger boot drive makes sense as does the possibility of the CPU cooler having failed...
