    O11D EVO XL

    They said September on their reddit when the August date was knocked back and then when pressed later on they said end of September so yes, it looks like at least the end of the month. I ended up buying the vertical GPU mount from them I'll be using in the XL so that I can keep using my...

    O11D EVO XL

    They posted an official update on Reddit, it's due to feedback from people who have early releases about the tool less GPU system. On one hand I'm glad stuff like that is being sorted before release but it kills my hope of building my new system in it before Starfield. Now I have a choice to...

    O11D EVO XL

    A mod on the Lian Li Reddit posted multiple times yesterday that it's been delayed to early September. Apparently it's not the first time it's been delayed. Think I'll grab one of the other similar designs like the Phanteks or NZXT options since I want to have my build done in 2 weeks or so.

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    Yea I don't mind the Zotac one, I just preferred the Gigabyte Aero and ASUS Strix ones. My waiting paid off, got the Strix for £1,500 so more than happy. CPU Cooler is something I need but I find them and fans to be very subjective items that people have vastly different opinions on so I'm...

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    Cheers, that was my original plan and then I spent 2 days reading up on it and started to question everything!

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    Thought I'd come back to this rather than start a new topic on it. So I've bought the i9-13900 and the 4090 and now I'm finalising my motherboard and RAM and fell down several rabbit holes and read so many articles and threads that I'm more confused now. I suppose what I want to know is which...

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Now you mentioned modded Skylines I do remember that was something that pushed it when I was playing it. Can only imagine the new one will do the same. Yea I've already accepted I'll need to shop around to get everything I want in white, had to last time too...

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    I had a feeling the i7-13700 would be more than enough. I never know how to approach RAM, right now I have 32GB in 4 sticks and I don't think I've ever had a game or program have issues. Is it a case of physically having more is better than having less total that is faster performing? Like I...

    Looking for advice/help with picking main components for my new build

    Just looking for any help with my new build. It’s been 4 years since I built my current system (i9-9900K & KFA2 HOF 2080) so I’m looking to overhaul it. Gaming will be one of the main uses and I play a mix of games. Cyberpunk, Starfield, Destiny, Division, Cities Skylines, Football Manager are...

    Broken PC fix

    Yea it's an old system, now that I've thought about it I'm pretty sure it's an i5-4670K in there. I gave it to him when I upgraded last which was 3 years ago and seems I held onto that build for some time given google says the CPU came out in 2013 and I would have bought it around launch. I...

    Broken PC fix

    My old mans PC just died, we suspected it was the SSD but with a new one in it still wont boot (sometimes it does but then it wont see any drive) and I can't even get it to let me to the BIOS with no drives so I'm assuming it's the motherboard so I need to replace that, CPU and RAM. He actually...

    New Alienware Q3 2020

    What's the best hardware to calibrate my AW2721D? I had a spyder back in the day but that's long gone, was just going to buy another but thought I'd ask here first.

    2080Ti Issues

    I've decided to definitely move the Gigabyte one on, I just have no confidence in it no matter what they say. After reading about, including other threads here, I think I'm now between just replacing like for like with the EVGA 2080Ti or stepping down to a 2070 Super (probably EVGA or Asus)...

    2080Ti Issues

    So apparently I have to have a like for like replacement, which is a disappointment to say the least. If I was to sell the replacement what would people's suggestions be then? Stick with 2080Ti or go for something different? I've seen a lot of people suggesting the 2080 Supers in other threads...

    2080Ti Issues

    I have the Lian-Li O-11 Dynamic. Currently has 3 fans on top as part of the Kraken, 3 below bringing air in directly to the GFX and 3 at the back taking air out. The Gigabyte was fine in that set up for like 5 months so I think the case/fan set up is fine. I looked at vertical mounts today, saw...

    2080Ti Issues

    So this is a thing? I couldn't find much online of other people having the same issue so thought it was more of a one off. But yea, it was fine to start with for months then about two months it started going up and it came to a head this last week when it was 80C in the menu for Destiny 2.

    2080Ti Issues

    So I have a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AORUS XTREME and I've been having issues with it recently. For about 2 months it's temperatures have gone up to where even in game menus it's sitting at 80C. Before it was nowhere near this. It's purchased from elsewhere and they've agreed to RMA it but...

    New build for around £3k

    This was the video that had me pick the Kraken. He basically said it came down to personal choice as they were all pretty even. It seems like the build I posted was fine then, I just need to pick which 2080Ti to go with and then decide on fans.

    New build for around £3k

    Yea I'll tackle fans myself once I've decided on the main components. So other than say personal preference there's nothing really wrong with what I posted? How does the Asus ROG line up of components compare with the Gigabyte ones I selected? Just trying to gauge if there's big differences...

    New build for around £3k

    So, it’s been about 5 years since I built my last PC, in that time I’ve updated the GPU once and changed my air cooler for an AIO. It’s served me well but it’s time for an upgrade as I think it’s going to struggle with some of the new games on the way and I’ve been having more and more issues...
