    GTX 1080ti on its way out

    Thanks guys. I have replaced and re-padded my 1080ti and no luck. I have underclocked the memory and it happens less often. Gonna have to wait until payday. Hopefully can grab a alright ish deal on 3080

    OLED users - do you have a second, non-OLED monitor?

    Still rocking a ACER Predator (120hz VA panel), the burn in issue of all oled's sooner or later prevents me buying one any time soon

    Surround Sound and HiFi Cable

    My bad, you're right. It supposed to say the 'wire insulation' rather than shielding.

    GTX 1080ti on its way out

    I guess this would not hurt. Going to order thermopads as well. I'm gutted a bit as it served me well for last 6 years

    Has the age of overclocking and chasing numbers ended?

    I don't think you can do much nowadays. Most of it is automated and pretty bang on point when it comes to gpu/cpu overclock. Sure you can tweak it but I don't think it is worth it if you put your time and time to stress test the overclock. I love the fact that I used to do it myself and looked...

    GTX 1080ti on its way out

    Hi guys my 1080ti is ready to be buried soon. Artefacts all over the screen happen more often every day. I tried cables different output cables/ports so it is bad memory. What would a a logical step to take. I mainly play Assetto corsa fully moded to look very realistic to drift and counter...

    Surround Sound and HiFi Cable

    I think we are overthinking this. I really doubt if there will be any notable difference between the cables. As good as radius speakers are for entry level listening, running room correction will likely negate any if any sound difference made by either silver or copper cable. Just buy a cable...

    Headphones upgrade

    Thanks, when I walked in into Richer sounds 4 years ago and saw that beast I had to buy it. Sounds as good as it looks with Dali Epicons. The beast almost broke my back when I took him home - it weights 50 pounds. In terms of headphone being open design it don't mind as I use them in spare...

    Headphones upgrade

    Hi guys , Currently I got DT880pro's and Shure 846 IEM. I love the way 846s sound on how detailed, balanced and effortless they are. On the other hand the low end and soundstage of the dt880 pro's cant be matched by the 846s. I would like to retire the 880s as I mainly use them for gaming due to...

    Surround Sound and HiFi Cable

    Honestly, for AV set up cables such as from Kabeldirect which can be purchased on rainforest are a reasonable solution. Make sure you buy a decent thickness for long runs. 2.5mm seems like a sweet spot between retaining sound quality and fitting between side skirts etc., if you want to hide the...

    Need some advice selecting/matching an amp to go with my Q acoustics speakers

    Also do you need streaming? Are you planing to go home cinema in the future? What sort of music do you listen to and how old are your ears Typically stereo amps are better than receivers for music but not all offer streaming capabilites. Marantz matches well with q acoustics. Personally if...

    Wrong wheel?

However, as I was cleaning my wheels a week ago I realized that one of the wheels is a replica (different...

    New compact phone needed- little torn on options

    Hi guys I need to downsize my samsung s21 ultra which served me well for the last 2 years. Unfortunately I can't cope with the size anymore as I no longer use my phone for work. I need something small that fits inside of a pocket. Ideally I would like to retain as much as possible of camera...

    4770k to 8700k?

    Thanks guys! Another question if I may. Is b die ram worth it for 8700k? Not sure if 8700k would benefit from extra speed or tighter timings perhaps? I can have a 32gb(2x16gb) 8pack edition kit for £80, I managed to get 16gb (2x8gb) but it might me little low for some games and my browsing at...

    4770k to 8700k?

    Thanks guys! @Tetras @LuckyBenski I had the z87 setup since 2014 and it was a well spent 500 pounds. Yet as it was in and out so many times over the years I must have bent some of the pins slightly while swapping parts out ( I think when I got the be quiet dark rock pro 4 but it was fine for a...
