    Win 10 Update

    I've just got this exact same issue and tried everything I've seen online. My current PC crashed on booting into windows then refused to boot. Tried to repair but no dice so did a clean install from my original Win 10 USB i bought with my components from OCUK a few years ago. New install updates...

    Dual monitor setup question

    Depends on you really, I have two different screens - even different resolutions and it's not a big deal. The colours on the IPS screen are much better than the old TN panel next to it. I'm thinking of getting the same monitor, already have a 27" Dell IPS screen (can't remember which one sadly)...

    New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

    Cheers, good to know about the controls as I have to change the source input quite regularly as I use my main PC desk and monitors to work from home with my work laptop and docking station. With CV19 I'm going to be working from home most of the time for the foreseeable future really - we're...

    New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

    I'm seriously considering one of these. I have an existing 1440p 27" Dell screen which has been really good but it doesn't have GSync/VSync so plan would be to relegate that to my second screen (replacing an old 24" 1080 screen). Anyone had any major issues with this one? There's no official...

    3900x or 10700k for gaming pc

    This really. Save for another 6 months and wait until all the new toys come out at the end of the year and make the call then. I've definitely got my eye on a Ryzen 4000 and new GPU.

    Is x86 on its way out?

    Hard to see for me, gaming on a Mac is a very niche activity due to their rubbish GPUs (without spending '000s). Can't imagine devs will want to port games for presumably pretty low sales. x86 covers PC and both current and next gen PS/XBox.

    i7 6700K Upgade or Hold

    I'm still using this CPU paired with a 1070. Been toying with an upgrade or new build but I'm going to hang on for the new GPUs and Ryzen 4000 and make a decision then. Plan is to relegate the current system to replace my living room PC which is a couch gamer/streamer but is an ancient i7-920 build

    Dual Monitor setup 1080p + 1440p

    I have this exact set up, a 1440 as my main and an old 1080 as my second screen. Running with a GTX-1070 and never had any issues

    Vaping Juice condensation Maybe killed my 1080

    Not read the whole thread but Jesus if it's doing that to your PC imagine what it's doing to your lungs ffs.

    Tenkeyless mechanical KB with USB passthrough

    Hi, i'm trying to find a mechanical tenkeyless keyboard with a USB passthrough but I can't seem to find one. It's for my lounge PC so small boards are ideal and I use gaming pad for Elite Dangerous that is USB only so a USB passthrough on the board makes life miles easier. I already have a...

    NZXT H500 Airflow

    I'm having the same decision as you, i've also got the Corsair 275r on my list which someone on here recommended. From some Gamersnexus reviews the for CPU temp the H500 runs about 7°C above ambient warmer than the Meshify S2 both in stock configs. The H500 is a prettier case but I think I'm...

    Spec me a case? (£100 max)

    I like the look of that case, cheers. I like understated cases, I utterly despise RGB and living in London means space is a premium so I need compact cases always means I struggle to find something i like. Possibly buying a house post-brexit so would hopefully have more room then

    Spec me a case? (£100 max)

    What's wrong with the airflow in the H500? I'm looking at this case to transplant my current rig into. It looks ok to me on paper. I planned to put my 280mm AIO in the front slot pulling air in then with 2 exhausts at the top and back the airflow should be ok? Ok the GPU is pulling air from the...

    NZXT H500i or H510i models help

    I'm looking at the H510 to replace my current case. Only thing I'm not 100% sure of is if I put my Kraken X61 (280mm radiator) in the front is will my 1070 still fit. It looks like it would but not 100% sure. I have no interest in RGB nonsense though

    6700k cpu cooler

    I have the same chip, i'm using the NZXT Kracken, forget which number but the one with 280mm radiator and 2x140mm fans. Keeps it very cool even under heavy loads.

    Is my 9900K not stable? crash in battlefield 5 without error

    Jesus man let it go. Surely you have more important things to worry about

    Is my 9900K not stable? crash in battlefield 5 without error

    Games crash sometime, no biggie. I'd forget about it and move on. Only get concerned if you get repeated similar crashes. Why would you leave it running when you went to work, just shut it down and save your electricity bill?

    AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

    I'll seriously be balls deep in that if those specs/prices are accurate. Will re purpose the current rig to replace my HTPC/lounge gamer as that's seriously struggling now. I need a decent lounge gamer as the missus works from home quite often on my flexi-days off :(

    GPU market prices

    Yep this. I have a 1070 (paired with an i7-6700k) and it's pretty solid at 1440p but in particular some levels of the latest Metro really cripple it. I'm skipping the 20 series but I reckon I'll upgrade the GPU next gen.

    Looking For an Excuse to NOT buy an RTX 2080

    I'm using a 1070 @ 1440p with a i7-6700. I was toying with upgrading this gen but it's just too expensive for fairly limited gains. The new features seem to be a bit of a work in progress still so don't fancy paying the early adopter tax.
