    PWM fan issue, need a bit of advice please.

    I have the same motherboard and the issue comes from the fact that only the main CPU cooler header is PWM - the others are all voltage controlled, despite being 4 pin. My 3 Noctua PWM chassis fans behave the same way as yours - nothing, then twitching, then finally kicking in when the system...

    How are prescriptions checked?

    I've only skimmed the thread so apologies if this information has already been given. Pharmacies are meant to ask for proof of exemption at the point of collection, but cannot withhold the item(s) if no proof is given - there's a box on the back of the script for the pharmacy to mark if proof...

    Question about pharmacies-non medical

    This is an odd one - if I'm reading you right, you're taking in a prescription for 28 of X, and being given 56. Further, it's not a matter of "doubling up" a lower strength when a higher strength is out of stock. Firstly, raise it with the pharmacy. Up until the end of the calendar month you...

    Who would i need to see?

    Educated guess is that your prescribed tablets are fexofenadine (Telfast) tablets as that's all I can think of at 120mg. The difference in potencies means that you can't consider them 12 times "stronger" than loratadine or cetirizine 10mg tabs, available OTC or on prescription. Ask your...

    Returning NHS prescriptions

    Right, to try and clear this one up... Firstly, you must have had a private script, as the NHS won't pay for malaria prophylaxis, be it for business or pleasure. Even if you bring me an NHS script for malaria prophylaxis, I won't dispense it as such because I know I won't be paid by the NHS...

    5850 Vs 5870 Just On Noise Please

    Hi all, I've just about sorted my new build except for the thorny issue of the graphics card - I'm stuck in the usual 5850 vs 5870 choice. I know that the price / performance issue is one I can only resolve for myself and I don't mind paying the extra. Both will be overkill for gaming at...

    antec p180 psu

    Just put one of those Corsairs in a P180 yesterday - fits very nicely. The only thing I'll say is check the Mobo's layout for the locations of the 4 or 8-pin +12V connectors. It just reaches the 8-pin socket on the DS3P going over the top of the sound and graphics cards. If it's very near the...

    First OC - Check I've not done something stupid please!

    First bash at OCing on a shiny new E6600 on a DS3P with a Noctua HSF and Geil PC6400 RAM. After reading all the stickies and the DS3 owner's thread the results are: - Disabled all the stuff in the BIOS the owner's thread says should be off. - Upped RAM Volts to +0.3 (=2.1V) and changed...

    I have been sent a FAKE Sandisk UltraII !

    This is the real kicker - "PayPal's eBay processing fee" for sorting out all complaints is £15. So even if you did win, you'd receive absolutely zero from PayPal - sucks huh? (See https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_buyer_complaint-outside for details) That said, if...

    £600-ish Upgrade Spec Check Please

    Thanks for the input guys :) The mobo is just in for pricing, I'm going to check out reviews for: Asus P5B - 72.84 inc VAT Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 - 82.84 inc VAT Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3P - 82.84 inc VAT (T.W.O.) I think the bit extra for the PSU over the 520W is worth it if it...

    £600-ish Upgrade Spec Check Please

    It’s time for a pretty major upgrade as my PC just isn’t up to the job of playing newer games any more. I bought Oblivion cheap today to compare to the 360 version and it’s laughable (plus it keeps crashing but that’s another story - seems to be HP printer related of all things :rolleyes: )...

    NEC LCD20WGX2 review *** UPDATED 25/02/06 ***

    I picked up the standard one from here as it's on This Week Only. With the Pro model there is no change to the panel, it's just compatible with the sound bar which I'm not going to use (although Creative have just told me the Xi-Fi cards wont run the Creative branded DTT3500 5.1 digital...

    NEC LCD20WGX2 review *** UPDATED 25/02/06 ***

    Mine arrived yesterday. Firstly, well done to OCUK for getting an order placed 20 minutes before the cutoff to Cornwall by 9:15 the next morning. Previous monitor was an Iiyama ProLite E431S - no dead pixels and no bleed, been very happy with it for 2 1/2 years. I considered the Dell...

    Help from a Dell 2007WFP Owner Please

    No, it's not about banding - it seems that issue has been resolved / reduced in the new revisions. I've had my 17" Iiyama E431S for ages, and it's been perfect. No dead pixels, great scaling, good colour, no ghosting. However, it's time for a change and with the 2007FPW on special offer...
