Oh I see, that photo makes it clear! That seems much better than a massive overhanging cooler. Thanks for finding the link. I was originally going to try and get it repaired but now I've been looking into upgrades I'm kind of excited about doing a new build :D.

Thanks for taking a look! Haha, maybe :D. It's lasted me pretty well the 2500k, aside from some issues with playing HEVC videos I haven't really felt the need to upgrade. Really, I thought 16G would be plenty? I'm not doing much gaming on the PC any more so I can't really see where I'd need...

Hi all, Due to an unfortunate sequence of events I find myself in need of a new motherboard so I thought I'd use it as an opportunity to upgrade my i5-2500k build from 2011. Here's what I'm currently looking at: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600 CL16...

I'm leaning towards the Asus ROG Strix X570-E as it was rated highly on the 2 review sites I looked at.

It was a 480p film :D I purchased a new GPU but when I tried to install it there was no video signal so I updated my BIOS to try and fix it. Unfortunately, even though it said it was successful, my system now won't even POST, its just power cycles until I unplug it. I'm guessing the BIOS is...

Oh definitely, I think the heatwave last week may have finally finished it off! :D

I guess it's time for a new card then. The AMD Radeon RX 580 looks like a reasonable replacement. Both my screens are DVI so ideally I'd like a card with dual DVI but it looks like most cards are DisplayPort / HDMI these days so I guess I'll need an adaptor.

No its the HD6950. It's been fine till now on Win 7.

Last night my computer hard powered off (no Windows shutdown message) and kept doing it a few minutes after turning it back on. I checked the temperatures and the only one that seemed excessive was the graphics card which was ~80C! I opened the case and cleaned out the dust (of which there was...

I've just purchased a new drive (Sata6 3TB WD Green) but trying to install it onto the onboard Marvell controller is causing some problems. The setup: Win7 with a MSI GD65 motherboard. Sata ports 0-5 (Intel controller): all used and working fine. Sata ports 6-7 (Marvell controller): 6 is...

Thanks krooton, I enjoyed this mix!

Mines just been delivered too, agh why do I have to work today :(! Ah well at least its here for when I get back.

edit: Ignore, I think there was a sweary in the vid :p.

Its visible now but still not as bad as it usually is, I'll let it heat up some more. I tried taking a pic but I got a lot of screen flicker and it didn't really show the problem. Last time I had a replacement monitor from Dell the guy dropped off a new one and picked up my old one at the...

Has anyone who pre-ordered it had an email about delivery yet? I just got this: Were Activision that controlling with past releases?

That's interesting, I have exactly the same thing! I just thought it was a smudge but now you come to mention it I cant see it right now, having just turned the monitor on for the first time today! As for contact numbers try here...

Damn it, mine still says 'not dispatched' on Amazon :(.

Yea I chose 1st class delivery too, I also picked them for the bonus :D.

Thanks for the opinions on Tesco guys, seems like they might be the way to go.

They have it back in stock now (still for release day). I was waiting to see how they did with my BF3 pre-order before buying, since they haven't dispatched it I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with them for MW3! How reliable are Tesco for release day delivery? :p
