    New PC Build - Just move existing Windows 10 Install/SSD over to it?

    I just went through this. New MB/Processor/RAM (Lots of help from the great guys on here). I put my Win 10 activated HDD back in but it came up with not activated. Just to note : The activated Win 10 was the free upgrade from a retail copy of Win 7. Tried everything to get it to activate so I...

    I was looking at the new SSDs after what mickyflinn said, mine is currently only 500gb so a 1tb would be nice. How good is the below drive at that price range? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-green-sn350-1tb-ssd-sata-m.2-2280-solid-state-drive-wds100t3g0c-hd-599-wd.html It seems its a gen 3...

    Upgrading hardware will I need to purchase Win11?

    Hi. Thanks for replying. The copy of Win7 I original bought was a retail full copy, not OEM. It has since been through at least, possibly no more than, two motherboard changes and upgraded to Win10. Regarding the logging into Windows, I think you have no choice but to sign into it via a...

    Upgrading hardware will I need to purchase Win11?

    I started another thread about upgrading my PC hardware and got all the answers I needed, but what about my OS? I have Win10 installed, its been through various updates. It started as a retail copy of Win7 Home that I bought very soon after it was launched. If I remember correctly I've only had...

    Its undinable that the Rysen are very tempting and I'll check out your suggestions, thankyou. I can also see you are an avid helper of people like me so I know your advice runs true. I went away from Intel once and it didnt end up going well, but that was down to my ignorance of AMD.

    Long time no upgarde - Advice

    Hi. Thanks for the reply. I can see you help out a lot in this forum so I was happy to see a selection very similar to the hardware I was looking at. Although I am thinking of the i3 to save a bit for now. To answer your question, yes I'm aware but I think its time to catch up with the newer...

    Long time no upgarde - Advice

    Hi. Its time to upgrade. I've spent quite a lot of time browsing the OCUK shop and realised I'm very much out of the loop. I'm trying to keep it around £500. I'm currently running an i7 3770 and 16 gig of ancient RAM. I see that most of the i3 13th gen are a lot better than my 3770. I want to...

    Headphone set - Hiss

    I have a headphone set with microphone. Its got a 3.5 jack that goes into a splitter then into the PCs phono and microphone sockets. This seems to cause a lot of hiss, this problem is not evident when plugging the headset into a laptop that does not require the splitter. I'm guessing that...

    New amp needed

    Hi. I've got a need for a new hifi amp. My old Technics SA EX-100 is no longer peforming as it should. I only use it to power my speakers connected to my PC. I have a couple of Eltak 120watt 4-8 Ohm mini speakers. I like to listen to music very quiet at times so I dont want any hiss at low...

    ******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

    Is there something wrong with their website? When ever I go onto it it just lags out. I'm using Firefox. It was like that a few weeks ago when I last tried and is still the same.

    Rimworld - strategy base building sci-fi indie game

    Make the area inside their fence a growing plot and plant daffodils, animals will eat them. Seem to work well for me. They grow very quickly and give your planters pawns a good boost in xp. I also had a cold room for hay with a double skinned wall, hallway entrance with two animal flaps, to keep...

    Warhammer Darktide Reveal

    Its a good idea to try all the classes up to level 20. Each has a unique play style and working out how to best run with other people is a must. I started with Orygan, but found while playing vet that Orygans should stick to the edges in corridors so vets can get their shots in, and never kill...

    Warhammer Darktide Reveal

    Hahah, yes its definitely not for everyone. Although its quite popular and I think a lot of people want to like it but don't quite get it like other people do and ultimately get frustrated. I updated my drivers and with the latest patch and I'm getting very smooth pre last beta patch frames...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Could you say a bit more on this? I had heard that I could 'hold' a new quote now. That quote would be a rate + early settlement fee and would stick for a few months but didnt look into it much. Is that a thing?

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Thats what I'm hoping for. If that happens and I leave it till then I'll save over £2000 by burying my head in the sand for 9 months. Even if the rates are at 6% next year I can use my wild card; extend the term, That will be on lesser mortgage amount and net me an extra year I can extend by...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    What would you do in this situation? Mortgage due for renewal Sept next year. Currently on 2.1%. I could pay £800 to get out early and remortgage at 4.79% for 5 years. Costing me an extra £200 a month. I have about 13 years left on my total term. The £200 a month will very nearly break me (But...

    i7-3770 Running at full speed

    Hi. EIST was enabled, so no good I'm afraid. I'm guessing EIST and Intel speedstep are the same thing? With EIST disabled it removes the option for Intel Turbo boost.

    i7-3770 Running at full speed

    Hi. I just put in an i7-3770, and according to HWmonitor and CPUZ its always running at 3.9GHz. I was expecting it to run at 3.4GHz or less when idle. Its always at 3.9 even when Task Manager says the CPU usage is at 1-4%. Although Task Manager says (Next to the % usage) 1.67GHz. Any ideas? I...
