Forgot I had posted this thread on here - thank you for your reply . My own research came to the same conclusion and it arrived yesterday :-)

She doesn't really do any gaming apart from Railway tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon - that sort of thing. Mostly the laptop will be used for watching netflix on holiday, dealing with emails and she does work for a wildlife trust where she watches video feeds of rare birds nests and edits the...

Thanks for the input guys - I would prefer an ATX motherboard - just like having room to work

Spec me a rig guys, please? Don't need a case, keyboard, mouse or monitor Looking for high frame rate 1440p gaming

Got no signal on monitor when it is connected - computer switches on and fans are spinning etc but nothing on screen. Removed the hard drive to see if it was that as I hear a ticking noise and a sort of speeding up and slowing down of the fans. Could that be the CPU or more likely the PSU? Its...

Just about to use one of these n a new build for one of my sons - he is not THAT into RGB but I am sure he will like it when he sees it. Problem is , I don't want the fans running all the time - is it possible to set them up so that they only come on if the case hits a certain temperature...

I have a feeling it IS one of those OEM licenses - its been so long since I installed it that I can't remember. Just wondered if there was a way to check

About to build a new rig and want to bring my old Windows 10 Pro license over from an old rig that will be scrapped. Is there any way to know if that is possible ?

I am about to build a new rig with a 1TB NVME drive - it will be a gaming computer mainly - is there really any benefit to keeping the OS on a separate drive ?

Hi guys - what are your recommendations for a decent gaming rig?

Real life does get in the way more as you age. I still play Supreme Commander 2 and that game must be about 100 years old now - I don't have time to get into games - really need something that is easy to start. Used to love FPS games for that reason. Getting into retro gaming a bit more now -...

Thanks guys

I really dont understand why it isnt a basic human right to end our life when we want. If its such a legal minefield, why dont we just copy what the swiss do? I can understand insurance companies having a problem with it but, if someone is dying of a terminal illness anyway, you should be...

Whats the general concensus these days ? Paste or pad and which one? AMD CPUs and Air coolers

I already have these parts brand new in boxes that have never been used so am wondering if they will provide decent performance

Gonna set up a new rig for one of my sons : Ryzen 7 5800X 16GB Teamgroup 3200MHZ Ram MSI MXG X570 Tomahawk mobo RTX 3080 Ti He wants 1440P gaming with titles such as : Baldurs Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Red dead redemption 2, God of war, Grounded and he uses Adobe Premiere Pro, After effects and...

Thank you for your input. You seem to know a bit about this stuff ( I don't clearly lol). Would 32GB RAM make a big difference or would 16GB be enough?

The software he is using is AUTODESK MAYA and ADOBE PREMIRE PRO and ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS for 3d modelling and rendering tasks To date, ray tracing has been mostly switched off in their workload but that may change in next two years at uni

My son is currently at uni studying art and design and a lot of the work involves animation. We are trying to build a PC on a budget that is suitable for uni work too - would the Ray Tracing of the Nvidia cards be any benefit or would he be better saving the money and getting Radeon?

I have always found it really confusing and di9dn't understand how it was measured but I suppose it makes sense in a kind of way
