    ASROCK 6900 XT NOW ONLY £689.99 (£649.99 FOR LOYAL FORUM MEMBERS)

    I have 1 slot labeled pcie on the psu which is empty. Just wondered if the splitter on the single cable attached to the psu is ok. If its just a cable plug it in and go,happy days! If I need 3 seperate cables rather than 1 direct and one with a splitter, not so happy. :)

    I have a couple of questions if someone wouldn't mind helping me out. I have a 750 watt seasonic gold psu from about 2018. I also have a vega 64. The pc was built by ocuk just so you know. The vega 64 has the 2 8 pin connectors but they are on a splitter. Only one plug goes into a pcie connecter...

    Help for long time existing customer but new to forums

    I better get "discussing". This is not my original account and have also spent thousands here over the years. Pretty sure my first purchase was an athlon 64, mobo, ram bundle. Thinking about it I think it was an athlon 850 @1000 bundle. Damn instead of the edit I could have waited 10 mins and...

    Why are monitors so crap?

    Of course it will be better. But after 7 years of advancement I kinda expect a little more for the cost. Maybe my expectations are to high? I went 7 years between tv's and the replacement for the 49" sony bravia I had was just amazing in comparison. I just don't seem to see that. I suppose I...

    Why are monitors so crap?

    I have a 7 year old 1440 60hz samsung. Thought I would treat myself to something shiny. Mehhh what an uninspiring, over priced, and or poor quality load of crap. Only thing I would like tbh is freesync. Just not worth it really!

    What was the worst graphics card for heat?

    I had a 7990, that was mental hot. Had to drill out two more fan slots in the side of the case as the side of the case was so hot to the touch.

    Simple switch/extender question

    I want to boost my wifi upstairs. I have the virgin SH3 in the office which used to be the attached garage. It has a cavity wall between it and the rest of the house. It is "ok" upstairs but I would like better. There is an Ethernet face-plate in the office which is connected to one in the...

    Replacement for my dt770's

    I know i can get the parts to love them back up,New sliders (broken)and replacement foam (pretty disgusting and flat after over 7000 hours use). But 40 quid for a crap bit of plastic and some foam does not seem like an epic deal to me! So I have around £300 (ish) to spend on something new and...

    Finally the old i7 920 is being retired.... Quick spec check

    Ok, put the nvme drive on instead and changed the case! So I will see no benefit at all for my usage ?and using PBO on the 2700x long term is fine with a b450 board? If that's the case what's the main difference between x470 and b450?

    VR... wait or invest now?

    At the risk of repeating myself,all I want is a better res with a much less noticeable screen door and I would be golden!

    VR... wait or invest now?

    Try before you buy. I really cannot stress that enough. Yes it has great immersion, but that slightly blurry look everything has puts some people right off. Add the screen door effect and the constant moving it around to try and make it look a bit less crap and it's a recipe for frustration for...

    Ryzen "2" ?

    I am no enthusiast,know nothing of the inner workings of a cpu etc. But this is the exact point most gamers should take away from this. Bottlenecks,clockspeed's,bickering about brands and minutiae do not matter to most gamers outside tech forums. I think hotwired pretty much sums it all up...

    Ryzen 7: Are you gonna buy?

    Another user of an ancient pc here(i7 920) The current pc,gpu pricing is just hilarious. I am waiting for an excuse to get an entire new system ,mine does the job well enough but it is showing its age,so yes I may well take the plunge as long as the price gouging is not to obvious.
