Yup. I was surprised too. Disabling the on board graphics in the bios kills the output completely - as it should, but with the onboard graphics enabled, the graphic card seems to have a way of directing to that port and overriding the onboard graphics. And the difference is absolute in games...

All done and upgraded! Been running well now for the past week and am really impressed with the performance! Went for a 7700x, 32gb of 5600 ram, and a 2tb nvme. I took another 1tb nvme out of my laptop and installed that too, along with the 7900xt from my egpu. Waterccoling went smoothly...

So I've found a place that works out quite a bit cheaper. This surprises me to be honest as I've always assumed overclockers had the best pricing - there or thereabouts. Not bad mouthing overclockers, but seems odd that the prices changed quite drastically if other places haven't. Probably...

Thanks for the above. Decided I'm going to do it. Bad timing though as when I updated my basket, everything seems to have jumped up in price by quite a bit! Shall see what the morning brings. Was going to pick it all up tomorrow but would leave a bad taste.

Hi dfour. Yeah, I think I've decided on the AM5 setup. Spent the day getting the case out and tinkering with the watercooling and everything is as it should be so think I'll just put a block on it. Any recommendations? The case is ready with some good airflow and 2x rads so should be a fairly...

Thanks for that. Took me down a YouTube rabbit hole. I do think the AM5 might make sense for the extra £200 or so. Would be nice to simply pop a new chip in down the line without a major overhaul. I assume the lifespan of the motherboard will allow for that for a few updated cpus in a year or...

Thank you. Seems very well priced. Now please convince me that I would be wasting my money going for an AM5 setup I've started looking now and the itch has begun Would there really be much point if I'm only aiming for a steady 60fps using a 7900 xt?

I getcha. To be honest, during my last hurrah building my old systems, I always went for the fastest stuff which often, if not always, cost way too much for the extra performance percentages they gave. This time around, everything is so powerful now I'm not convinced that's the way to go as...

32gb is certainly tempting. Is it needed though? I assume the 16gb is faster. More storage would be nice too but have always stuck to Samsung for m.2's but I suppose in the real world I wouldn't see much (if any) difference in speeds if I'm just loading games. Cooling wise, I was going to ask...

Hi all, So, for the past few years I've been running laptops with egpus. My last full system was a 2600k based Intel which was great but obviously very old. I still have it though in a wardrobe so am thinking about giving it a make over. Completely out of the loop, but basically I'm after a...

Thanks for that. There is nothing on the TV enabled though. Plus, it was working fine with the older card. Plus plus, it fills the screen on eyefinity mode which makes me think its a driver/software thing. It also fills the screen via the usbc connector. Open to other suggestions so keep em...

I'm having a really bizarre display issue since installing my 7900 xt and I'm fresh out of ideas! Basically, sending my display to my monitor over display port is absolutely fine. When sending to my second display (LG 4k TV), the display is squashed to fill just half the screen. This is from...

Ordered and hopefully picking up the Sapphire xt later today! Putting it into an egpu so will see how it gets along with it. Hoping to get decent results at 1440p which should be possible even with the egpu bandwidth limitations. Very high probabilty that it will not work well though so we...

Yeah, I tried ringing after the order was made but the automated message basically said the opening hours were Monday to Friday. Theres still time left in the day I suppose : ) Thanks for the responses though : )

The order details haven't moved onto the order preparation stage so I have a sneaky suspicion that they might not be processing orders Annoying as I could have had it delivered today from a competitor for the same price with free delivery and a freebie (which admittedly I wasn't fussed about)...

Thanks teenwolf! Think I was just expecting an email fairly quickly so suppose I'll just have to wait it out.

Hey folks, Most likely the wrong place to ask but can't find an answer anywhere! I've made an order for collection a couple of hours ago and haven't had a 'ready to collect' email. Is Saturday collection a thing or am I stuffed? Thanks!

Thanks chaps I'll keep that in mind when I get my next phone : )

Quick question.. how are early adopters batteries doing now? After a full charge, with airplane mode on to ensure nothing is sapping the battery, I'm getting about 26 hours estimated. Normally lasts just about a day. I remember when I got it on release, I sent some bragging screenshots to sent...

As mentioned earlier, just cycle through picture sizes (16:9, zoom, cinema etc) and one should fix the problem : )
