I had a 3600 for about three weeks for exactly that reason. I wanted to be able to use my PC while I waited for my 5950x to arrive, and the 3600 was good enough as a stop gap. It also made it easier to upgrade the BIOS in anticipation of the 5950x. I got really lucky with mine, I paid £140 for...

5950x at stock MT: 24964 ST: 1605 Seems a bit low compared to other 5950x results in here, although the single thread seems about right. Not sure where to look for the cause to be honest!

I would have no idea what I'm looking for, so it probably wouldn't be a very effective test. Also, it turns out that I got the PSU in 2008, not 2010 as I thought, so it's getting on for 12 years old now - I think it's done well and can now be retired with some dignity!

Yeah, I think you're right. At least it'll be one less thing to worry about when I do my next upgrade. I was concerned it would go pop when I upgraded to the Xeon & 1070, and I'd rather not have that hassle next time. It'll also be nice to have a fully modular PSU. Now it's time to fall down the...

I still have a Hiper 780W Type-M in my PC. I purchased it in January 2010, so it appears I've been very fortunate. That being said... is it time for a replacement? It's by far the oldest component in this system.

Not many lobsters here, it would seem.

I got the 4GB/64GB version as a replacement for an nVidia Shield tablet, and it's vastly superior in terms of performance and battery life. Only annoyances were having to import it from HK and having to sideload the Google Play store. I haven't tried the LTE on it so I can't comment on...

I've approved your request. It's been a long time since I've seen so many requests to join the club, I'd actually forgotten all about it. I'll try to be more consistent with giving kudos from now on :D That would be me :)

Has anybody got theirs yet? I got a V8 with the Ryzen V1605B, but I no longer have a use for it :)

I have a couple of these on the seatstays on my mountain bike; url=https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBSTRL/phaart-booster-05-watt-led-rear-light The bracket rotates around 180 degrees, so you can mount it so that it doesn't point directly upwards, which is how a bracket designed for a seatpost...

Well that's safe for work... :eek:

Fortunately I didn't go into one, I just blacked out when they started cutting the first flap. The second consultant I spoke to suggested that I go for something called TESA (transepithelial surface ablation) which doesn't involve cutting a flap - the entire procedure is done with lasers. I...

I had mine done about 8 years ago. I actually passed out during the first attempt, so I had to go back a few weeks later to have it done. The actual procedure lasts about 20 seconds per eye, during which you can't feel anything. I was going to say that it wasn't a big deal, but now that I'm...

I've got the 4GB/64GB version, and it's significantly faster than the nVidia Shield tablet it replaced. Other than having to sideload the Google Play store, the main problem is having to import one; it took a few weeks for mine to arrive from HK. It's a real shame that decent Android tablets are...

True enough. The thing is, I got the XPS before I got the rig in my sig. The plan at the time was to use it as my only system, but when I couldn't get hold of an eGPU enclosure, I decided to build a gaming box. So now it's not so much about the expense, but the fact that it would be a...

I got a Dell XPS 9550 with the intention of adding a Razer Core with a GTX 1070 to it, but Razer never brought the Core to the UK so I couldn't do it. I see now that there's a much cheaper option - the Razer Core X - however it has no USB ports and no ethernet, so it's literally just an external...

I had my first e-bike experience today, and I have to say, I am sold on the idea. I hired some electric mountain bikes this morning, and cycled around Derwentwater this morning with my parents. I can honestly say I cannot remember having so much fun on a bike, but it was made even more enjoyable...

It probably didn't help that shops will still giving out the old £10 notes as change on Wednesday. You'd think businesses would have the common sense to stop using them before somewhat earlier in their removal from circulation.

We're stuck on Windows 7, so regretably that's not an option for us :(

Just out of curiousity, what do you do for shares that contain hundreds of gigabytes of data? It was the main reason we abandoned our plans for migrating our file servers up into O365/SharePoint Online, as Microsoft have actively discouraged mapping O365/SP libraries as drives, and we can't have...
