    My BeQuiet is too quiet!

    I put together a new build around July this year and it has been working great with no issues. It was working last night, I sat watching Netflix on it and then shut it down as usual. This morning I pressed the power button and absolutely nothing, no beeps, flashes, bangs, puffs of smoke, just...

    Spec check & new build advice please.

    Thanks, I'll have a watch at those this evening. As I've already mentioned, I don't upgrade very often so when I pop into this forum for advice there's been a good few changes since my last visit. I really enjoy this part prior to ordering the build, reading up on what I should get, asking in...

    Spec check & new build advice please.

    So I had originally thought because I go a few years in between upgrades that I would get the top tier card and be done with it. I'll be straight up, I'd have to Google what DLSS is, ray tracing I think improves lighting effects but at the cost of framerate and AI is something else I wouldn't be...

    Spec check & new build advice please.

    Thank you both for your quick replies & advice. I'll maybe just look at Asus alternatives and if a 4090 isn't recommended then that's a fair saving so thank you, plus the Starfield Premium edition comes with the 7900 XTX so a nice little bonus there. Thanks for the drive advice as well and the...

    Spec check & new build advice please.

    Hi folks, I'm hoping to do a new build very soon and it has been a considerable time since I last done something. I'm currently using an i5-4460 & a 1070Ti which to be fair have been grand for what I mostly do, play Eve Online, light photo editing in Photoshop. However I really like the look of...

    Getting monitor closer to the wall (save desk space)

    You could mount it to the wall using split battens, that would get you close.

    Fuji X Series

    I have been using a USB Lemix branded one for a few years with my x100v and haven't had any bother.

    Show us your kitty cats

    I know this was a few years ago but had seen this brand myself this evening so had searched on here for it. What did your cat think of it, did you end up sticking with it?

    Changes to the date of the first MOT test (an open consultation).

    How would folks in Britain feel about dedicated centres as we do in NI? Fixed £30.50 to take your car to an indepedent test centre and if it fails, take it to a mechanic/diy and then retested. This last few years since covid however, there have several month backlogs and also the company that...

    Northern lights & low light challenge

    Can't comment on how the camera will perform at those temps but get a couple of extra batteries as the cold will do a great job of affecting their performance. Keep them well wrapped up and warm, just like yourself and enjoy the trip.

    Daft accidents in the home

    I worked with a fella that had a wasps nest in his shed or garden somewhere so he started whacking it with something. Of course, wasps everywhere and started stinging him, and when he was telling us what happened in work the next day we were asking him why did he start hitting it and annoy the...

    This Instant And Moment - 2022!

    Earlier in the year a girl in work had asked me if I would fix a cupboard door for her elderly mum. Called round one night and ended up doing a few wee bits and pieces for her that needed sorted as she's on her own and no one to help her. At the time I wouldn't take anything for it as it turned...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Just getting over it here hopefully. Had dodged the covid bullet for that long I thought I was immune, but then I work in a health care environment so we're probably masked up with more precautions than most. Hasn't affected me how I expected it would, as I thought it would have went for my...

    Office chair you can actually relax in

    I called in to my local branch of HSL but unfortunately they didn't have any with the wheel bases, they only had a few with round base and they were far too low. Really comfy chair but it would be more just for kicking back & relaxing in as opposed to sitting at a desk. There's another stockist...

    Office chair you can actually relax in

    I'm after something similar and I'm currently looking for somewhere to try a Stressless Office chair. They look as if they would tick the boxes for me although they're expensive so I'd much rather try one than blindly order one.

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    I really like Old Spice too, my dad gave me a bottle a couple of years back I but find it's longevity very poor.
