  1. If anyone is interested. I got some cheap kitchen cabinet feet off Amazon and shoved them on a bit of MDF for now. It's slightly smaller than the case so you don't even see it. Total cost about £8. A local kitchen shop has offered be some decent solid wood offcuts which I can get in the new year so I may grab some of that an make something less ghetto.
  2. Go to settings > device and see if there are any firmware updates. Worth a try.
  3. I use a K95 with browns. I would happily recommend the K95 but the K70 is pretty much the same design minus the G keys. Corsair's support is pretty decent from my experience.
  4. Scrap that, I just realised yours doesn't have the mode buttons. Probably worth trying to switch it in the software. Also worth checking firmware is up to date. (I'm a K95 owner)
  5. Does it work on all lighting profiles/modes? (The M buttons)
  6. I was hoping to just buy something which doesn't look too bad. Although I could probably just get a nice piece of wood cut somewhere and shove these on it.
  7. I just upgraded to a Phantecks Enthoo EVOLV ATX Tempered Glass from my ancient but solid and reliable CM 690ii. Anyhow, I had to ditch my old desk as my new case doesn't fit on the shelf. My new desk is pretty basic and the case is just sat on the floor. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a riser or some kind of stand which can raise my case off the floor a little. I just want to try and reduce the amount of potential dust getting in as it's on a wooden floor. Thanks! Bonus photos of build attached.
  8. I've actually just got this monitor and watched some HDR demos and it does a pretty decent job. This is compared to an LG OLED I have seen demos on. I wouldn't purchase this monitor purely for HDR though. You'd be better off with a TV. Just FYI this is with HDR enabled on the monitor and in Windows 10
  9. I would shove this right into a 2011 board and open as many tabs as possible.
  10. If anyone is curious; I RMA'd the board and got a refund and got the MPOWER Max which is running 100% fine!
  11. From what I can see the pins look fine. I've ordered a cheap Gigabyte mobo which should come tomorrow so I can try the processor.
  12. Here in the UK we do have a few companies that really don't give a crap about your stuff and they throw it about and leave it outside your house if you're not in
  13. I tried with a Corsair CX 750w today which according to the Corsair site is 100% compatible.
  14. Yep everything powers on and everything light's up then it goes off. All within about half a second.
  15. I love Corsair products too. I've been using them for years. I currently use a K90, h60, h100i and a couple of their SSDs. They've all been great. I use Corsair stuff in builds for people all the time but just recently a few of my friends have had problems.
