Has anyone seen reviews citing 0.01% lows (not 0.1%, but 0.01%) for these chips? I can't find any, and I only play pubg, so that's a real deal-breaker if it's struggling to be consistent. I'm not expecting miracles, just don't want to be hitting 7fps in city drops, as I am with my 5930k. I've...

I tuned into this convo half-way and knew you were talking about this guy without checking. I actually got into an argument about this with a mate, who thinks he's Robin Hood or something. He's just another techtuber, earning money with every post. They all do it to some degree. But some are...

I just read your message a bit more closely (it's hard to read as the formatting is non-existent). I understand you have dyslexia, but that's clearly not the problem there (anger, more so, I would guess? :) Yeah, something is definitely wrong there. I'm not sure what 'starting league' and...

Thanks, that's interesting. Good site for CPU comparisons: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-3900X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800X/4044vs4085 Yes, the game is clearly CPU-bottlenecked, but *maybe* not to the extent you're seeing there, I would guess. If resolution isn't high, that's not...

I I appreciate the tip, but I was ordering champagne and not beer. The prices are artificially high right now and beer costs champagne money. I won't pay for Cristal., it's a mug's game. I'll wait. Impatiently.

Sorry, 'sympathy' was a bit strong, I just mean a bit of consideration for the annoyance we're feeling at having waited this long only to find out that the only way to get one is to throw money away or wait another year. You know how it feels to look forward to something, save all your money...

It's a rhetorical question. No need to answer it, especially with another rhetorical question. If you aren't annoyed by the gouging, have a bit of sympathy for those of us without money to burn.

Yeah, I saw the same video, but I'm pricing it on what the prices were before **** went crazy. Because that's where things *could* be and should be again in the next year or two when other fabs come online). I basically pulled that price out my arse, but it's not far off. Post caffeinated...

I was itching to get one as I have been saving for years for a new PC, but these overpriced RRPs means we're being scalped by our usual providers (the USD-GBP thing is a smokescreen). As much as it irks me, I'm going to wait a while longer. Really disappointed in all involved. I won't be...

cheers, lee, good tips! I've been using water cooling for a while now (on two PCs) and they are really easy to keep clean. If it's just a bit extra, I think it's worth it (the less maintenance required, the better). Seems you both agree that X570 isn't worth it. Good to know! I've been...

Cheers, Esat. Good info! there's no chance I'm recommending MSI again, I had two fail in a two years. OC kindly upgraded me to an Asus after the second one went, but it was a MASSIVE pain the arse to diagnose and I wasted weeks on those problems. Not to mention losing so many CSGO games...

Hi there, I'm speccing up a PC for a friend and they have an existing 1080ti GPU which they want to keep, but otherwise they have a budget of £1500. They're upgrading from an Intel 2600, which is obviously the bottleneck. He also has existing drives to move over, so only NVME boot is needed...

@EsaT Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Just stream it all into RAM and be done. Very interesting about renaming tech. I knew that kind of thing went on, but the QLED thing was a serious push by them. I think I was lead into believing they *were* the quantum-dot LEDs, which they clearly aren't...

@EsaT Sorry, I only just saw this. Very interesting and you've confirmed a few suspicions I had on the whole. I see your point on the IOPS. I figured it had some real-world relevance, even for me. Yeah, RTX is overkill right now, but OOOhhh, pretty! I've been waiting for it for soooo...

@tamzzy Ok, thanks, I knew random was a factor, but I usually just look at IO OPS (750k in this case, compared to 550k for samsung's latest). I've mentioned it's an optional luxury to my mate, but that video is interesting. I've passed it on. Interestingly, the PCI4 drives have 3x the write...

Sorry, I should have mentioned it's mostly for gaming, but needs to be fairly versatile (hence not specifying anything). Great graphics, great processing, fair amount of storage (maybe home-server duties for entertainment). Remember, the focus is also on future-proofing, so some of them are...

Hi there, I've spec'd/built a fair few PCs over the years but I'm currently doing one for a mate and I think I'm willing to risk his money on an AMD build (I've been Intel for past decade). Joking aside: from what I can see, they're tearing it up at the moment, so good to know there's no more...

So, I guess that's a 'yes' as these 970s are only 2cm longer than that 1080 card? I think the air-cooled option was the one to go for, so that would seem to fit just fine. What did you mean by '280 won't work'? Thanks for the info, btw.

As title says, will my 2x Gigabyte Windforce Gaming G1 970 fit in the case? It says it fits 280mm cards, but I'm not sure if that's a general category of cards (which includes some 'wiggle room') or a specific limit...
