I plan to get an electrician to install this but before I do that I'd like to understand what is involved to make sure there are no problems. Looking at my existing doorbell chime, it looks like there is already a transformer in there: https://i.imgur.com/lRtZQFt.jpg Does this mean that the...

Does the ONT have to be installed at ground level or could they run an external cable upstairs? There's just nowhere on the ground floor at the front with a suitable power socket for it.

I've just bought a house in an area that can get FTTP. I work from home so before I move in I want to get the internet up and running. I've read that the engineer will install the FTTP cable in the same place as the existing copper phone line enters the building. I've found the "elephants foot"...

I've been trying to buy a Russian Corsair keyboard for ages but I can't find anywhere that sells them. I contacted Corsair and they told me that due to some sort of legal restriction they are unable to sell one to me directly, something about using credit or debit cards outside of the country...

XMP is turned off but I have tried with it on as well. It's definitely a 8700, it says in the BIOS and in Windows. Windows shows 12 graphs in the task manager if I choose to show logical processors.

I'm having a problem with Google Chrome not loading sites on a fresh Windows 10 install. It's usually OK for a while but then it starts going really slow and giving me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT errors. If I try the same websites in Edge they load straight away. I've tried the following: 1. Reset...

I just spoke with the company who I bought the board from (it wasn't Overclockers) and they said they would take the board back only if the CPU had not been installed. I lied and said that I noticed the pin was missing after installing the motherboard but I had not fitted the CPU yet. The person...

I have "ASUS MultiCore Enhancement" which is set to Auto, the only other option is Disable.

I'm using a Corsair H60. What is MCE?

I don't think it's heat as I haven't seen it over 50C at full load. It never goes above 3.5Ghz when gaming either. I would try and bend the pin back but it's so small I can't even tell if it's bent or missing. I'm going to see if I can return the board now that the bank holiday weekend is over.

I've just built a new PC with an i7 8700. I don't plan to overclock so I went for the cheaper non-K version with the understanding that it could still reach 4.6Ghz with turbo mode enabled. But I'm unable to get it to go over 3.5Ghz with prime95. I did some research and found that if all 6...

Yeah it does seem that way. I don't see how I could have bent one pin right in the middle when fitting it though, surely it must have come like that? I don't really want to RMA the board, and I don't think they will let me for a bent pin anyway as they class it as damage during installation...

No I haven't de-lidded, I had to look up what that was as I've never heard of it before. I checked the pins and it's hard to tell. Here are some pictures, I've marked the only place I can see where there could be a missing pin.

Do you have either the same memory or the same motherboard by chance? I'm wondering if there's been a bad batch recently or whether there's a general incompatibility. I've been trying to update the BIOS but the download links on the ASUS website are not working.

I've just built a new PC with an Asus Z370-A Prime motherboard and I'm unable to get the RAM to work in the first two slots (DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2). If I put one RAM module in either of these first two slots and turn on the PC get I no output to the screen and the orange/yellow light appears next...

I'm currently driving a 2002 Renault Clio 1.2 which I've had since I passed my test 4 years ago. For obvious reasons I'm looking to get a new car, ideally a BMW as I've always wanted one. Budget is around £7000-8000, although I may wait a bit longer to increase this if necessary. For this...

Do these exist? I can only find routers that are advertised as one or the other. Also, are there any routers that have the FTTC modem built in (so they work without needing the BT modem) ?

I just ordered two 24" Samsung S24B300's for a dual-screen setup to replace a single 24" samsung that I have had for a couple of years. The minute I turned on the monitors for the first time I could see that something wasn't right. Both monitors looked as if they were not running their native...

Does anybody know the difference between these two monitors? one says glossy black in the name, the other says lossy black in the description, other than that they appear to be the same. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-174-SA&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=...

If you're not with an ISP that throttles bittorrent (BT and Virgin Media are the worst for this), and you use private bittorrent sites where half the torrents are seeded by dedicated servers, then you will max your connection with every download. I normally download at 10MB/sec from torrents.
