    Eggy smell coming from PC? PSU?

    It's perfectly fine to open a PSU just to have a look if you have left it an adequate length of time to discharge. There appears to be no firm answer of how long but I think a couple of hours is fine, but if you're worried a day after it not being on and disconnected will definitely be fine.

    I don't really get Big Bang

    That's largely been put to bed by the fact the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Current theories tend towards the universe will end as one eternal void of nothing after the last black hole has evaporated away, due to proton decay. Size and time will then have no meaning.

    Q acoustics good deal?

    I have a 3070s sub and it's perfect for my smaller room, and in consideration of not having irate neighbours. My surrounds are 3010. I was enveloped in music making for 20 years, and I cannot fault my system. £230 for a full set seems like a bargain.

    suddenly hot GPUs - total mystery

    SOLVED Because I was running out of tubing I was going and coming out the same side of the blocks. Simply changing it to opposite sides has solved the situation. :cry::cry::cry:£££ I've never read or seen in the countless YT videos I've watched not to do same side. EK instructions don't say...

    suddenly hot GPUs - total mystery

    The load would have been watching a YouTube video. The loop was flowing fine when I was refilling it several times trying to make the 2080ti behave. It is a DDC pump at max speed. All the tubes solid also indicate the flow is good. Order is pump to GPU, to EK XE 480 on top of case (on its side)...

    suddenly hot GPUs - total mystery

    Msi x470 Gaming Plus Max - Ryzen 3600x 4 fan rad + 2 fan rad - loop running well Ran with waterblocked RX 5700 for months without issue, always mining while using net etc. Temperatures nice. Then with waterblocked 2080ti without issues. I got a waterblocked 3090 (working fine in other PC). I...

    OcUK RX6700XT review thread

    I think the impact of mining on GPU availability is overblown. You can't get a latest gen console either and there is no mining on those.

    How Many Games do you “own” digitally ?

    I started on PC by buying DVDs of games (GTAV on 7 discs). Then Mad Max came along and literally all that was on that disc was a link to download the game. All my PC games since have been digital.

    3070 Coil Whine?

    When I have EVGA Precision up and something else working the GPU (2080ti), on every Hz change there is a burst of mild coil whine at the point of every change. This doesn't happen in Afterburner. There clearly can be a software oddness as a cause of it.

    Electric Toothbrush

    If you didn't know you are supposed to just hold them against you gum line for about 3 seconds on each patch. Don't do a brushing action.

    I got my Tuf 3080 EK block and backplate today (from George who used to live in my building). I just need the Tuf to go with it now.

    AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!

    Literally worse than the Nvidia launch. F5ing like a madman and nothing for sale when the listings were there. At least I had a sniff on the Nvidia site.

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    I got my DS5 today (they must have made loads of them). Windows natively recognises it, wired or bluetooth. The DS4 app will not recognise it. I have only tried it on Yooka Laylee where it worked perfectly with PS prompts. And on GTAV I had to go into steam controller settings and select it as...

    LG 48CX OLED - 4K 120 Hz

    My LG CX 48 has good white uniformity to my eyes. Not a single hint of orange or blue on the sides. The sides look perfect white to me. The centre is a little darker, but no actual content looks in any way wrong. I never have an all white screen.

    10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

    Fallout 76 allocates all my 11GB Vram at 4k. I very much don't think it uses all that. A game simply seeing all the VRam you have and allocating it all is not in any way a concern.
