I went to buy Bubble Tea the other day, a small was £4.60, and a large was £5.50. Why would I buy the small when the large was twice the volume almost but only 90p more? So I went to buy the large. I didn't finish the large. I wasn't even that thirsty. Same thing. Nvidia have created themselves an upsell avenue that ensures capture into the higher tiers whilst degrading (somewhat) the free tiers. They're not a trillion dollar company for nothing.

If it's fine on your other devices, it might just be the antenna or wifi module on the board itself. It's possible it's broken but I doubt this on a new board. If you are able to eventually get in your wifi, you should separate your 2.4G and 5GHz networks to different SSIDs, so you can only connect with one band on one network. After that, I would delete the current Realtek driver and roll back to the one listed here, which appears to be an earlier version (.119 vs .127) https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-X-AX-rev-13/support#support-dl-driver-wlanbt using Device manager to delete a driver: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-network/4ddb2887-30f2-4f59-81b8-924f90208a0c

Forgot to mention, the 1080 is more of replacement than an upgrade, as the card is dead. The 4070 at £424 from Amazon Warehouse was the best deal I could find for the performance and feature set. The chip in box 7700s on ebay are starting at around 270, and this 7600 at 160 + oem cooler for testing before buying an actual cooler was more enticing to me price/perf wise. Will upgrade it to the last and thickest X3D chip AMD releases on AM5 in 2025 or so, hence my need for a stable board. For the RAM, I'm accepting everyone's consensus that the ones I chose are not good, I'll be looking to return and look for a good 16GB kit at a reasonable price

Yeah, the current mem kit is more of a placeholder, I'll swap it out as soon as I find a bargain on 5000+ 32GB kits. Only using a 60hz monitor for the time being so it's not the most urgent priority

that is not known to me, it's something I might look into, thanks

Interesting, the Peerless Assassin appears to be the bargain of the decade when it comes to air coolers. However, I prefer 140mms for lower RPMs. I would've bought the Frost Commander if I found one used but at £70 new it's competing with 280mm AIOs, which I default to as I wouldn't need to worry about RAM clearance and removing the cooler when transporting the PC.

Budget (including currency): £ no budget Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and occasional Adobe CC at 2x 1440p60 Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Upgrading from a 9 year old 4790K + GTX 1080 setup on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H, Corsair Vengeance DDR3 and a Cooler Master Nepton 280L I'm not going to include links for used parts as these are unique listings. CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 £160 GPU: RTX 4070 Ventus 2x £424 RAM: 16GB of cheap 4800 MT Crucial £37.51 Cooling: NH D15 plus AM5 mount £48 Board: Asus B650 TUF £150 (new) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BHJKR3BV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details the board is the most important part as this needs to be stable, I feed I should've bought an X670 superoverkill board as this is planned to last another 10 years and accept the latest AM5 processor available by 2025. Hopefully Asus TUF actually means something these days. If you have any opinions on this board, please air em out as I would easily change this. 4070 was stress tested on the old rig and runs fine, still under warranty from conversing with MSI support (via serial number). Tested the NHD15, it impressively runs the 4790k cooler than the old 280mm 280L even with drive bays compromising flow. RAM will be upgraded at some point whenever DDR5 prices come down. The NHD15 will also be upgraded to an AIO to accommodate for bigger ram sticks, if needed.

I think it must be a clearance sale or something, it's definitely new, I'm looking for 3080s but at £400 it's gonna have to be used

3080 Ti auctions may start at 300 but they're going for around 500+, same for the XTs. The 3070s are around £280-300 however the new option comes with the OEM warranty for £40 extra

3080s start at 400 on eBay, whilst for some reason the 6800s start at 450 or higher. 3070s are close enough to £300, and the price of this new 3070 is a 3070 Ti used from eBay Fb marketplace is full of severely underpriced GPUs that are all being sold by someone for their son or grandson. I could chance it, but I don't know if it's a good idea to hand out cash in hand for what sounds far too good to be true. I mean a 4070 Ti boxed and wrapped for £200? Plus maybe a police crime number attached to it

I need a new GPU. Is this a good deal for a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB V2 LHR Graphics Card ? What's the owners' opinion on this card? Have you come across any coil whine like many other lower end AIB boards? It's gonna bottleneck my system to hell but the rest is going to get upgraded when the end of year sales happen (hopefully). Upgrading from a 1080

I can't believe it. Goodbye, 4790K, your successor is very much worthy

Seasonic and SuperFlower. Johnnyguru (RIP) always had these brands as market leaders in quality. Don't waste your time on no-name 80+ brands

ahhh give me the gun, I'll do it myself!

12.7 million quid to datafarm the pre-teen demographic of a super popular app seems absurdly cheap. Whatever happened to percentage of yearly revenue as a fine?
