  1. First of, without looking into tech, I'd recommend you go with the new psu from Argos seeing as it has a 10 year guarantee while the ebay one has a reported 5 year warranty and the ebay psu is very click baity, trying to grab your attention with words like "the best" and "pro" and anyway I've never had a problem with Evga. And word of advice don't buy "seller refurbished" psus
  2. It should do as long as it's unlocked to locked to EE and that it supports your region. I've never heard of a phone not supporting a certain courier when it was unlocked before.
  3. If you can, try testing it with another device to see if the problem is only for the tv or not. If the other device has the same problem then e it may be formatting or the router and if the problem is only happening for the tv then the problem would be sometime with the tv or something specific to the tv.
  4. You'd need to leave it on so that it is shown on the monitor.
  5. The first question would be, is it dead or stuck: if it's stuck it would show a random colour but if it's dead it would show a solid white for tn panels or a solid black. If it's actually dead your best option would be to send it back to the manufacture but if it's stuck then there are a couple of ways to fix it .
  6. Stock coolers usually are enough to cool a cpu (dependent on your situation) but if you plan on overclocking you shouldn't use the stock cooler
  7. The problem shouldn't be your data plan seeing as that is external and wouldn't effect your local network. 100mbps should be ok for streaming 1080p video maybe with a bit of buffering dependent on how the video is formatted. And if the 1080p video was being affected by speed, it should still show up; unless you were just having slow loading times and you closed it too quickly which would most likely be caused by how it loads in video but, assuming it doesn't load it all in one go, it should just be having buffering issues and not just plain out not load. If the usb was the bottleneck, it wouldn't work if you plugged it directly into the tv.
  8. Seeing as it is just a digital signal I'd assume there isn't any quality loss.
  9. It's a typing speed-test not a test for how fast you can come up with sentences and type them out.
  10. For cooling your cpu I'd recommend not using the stock cooler but either buying a good non-stock fan cooler or water cooling seeing as you can easily damage a cpu if you overclock it on the stock cooler but all you need is decent airflow for the case which can usually be achieved using the fans supplied with the case.
  11. Firstly the motherboard has to have the same socket type as the cpu and any gpu should work (as long as it's the right pci type) you just want to choose a gpu and cpu that will be able to handle what you are going to be using them for with one of the average gpus and cpus for gamers (according to nzxt) being the fx-8350 and a gtx 970 and the average motherboard type being atx. But just don't go cheap on either the cpu or gpu.
  12. I'm just going to be using this for, what I'd call, an overkill password system where I have an encrypted ssd at my house that stores all my passwords as a backup with an encrypted usb flash drive that stores all my passwords that I would always have with me at all time with a Yubikey, if i were to lose either the yubikey or the flash drives I would be able to easily change my passwords actually having them backed and seeing as the data on both the yubikey and the flash drive would be encrypted, I would have time to change all my passwords if I were to lose one or the other and not be giving someone direct access to my passwords. I do know that this system is probably not necessary and kind of overkill but still since when was this a place for good enough? And I'm using a yubikey and a usb flash disk because I never liked to use something that was prebuilt and would rather just have all my passwords laid out as text rather than being limited to what yubikey supports (even if a lot of places support it) and I'd rather not just have 1 thing were if it breaks, my passwords are all gone.
  13. Anybody know of any good usb flash drives that self encrypt and to decrypt them you need to input a code using buttons that are physically on it and if enter the wrong code it either deletes all the data on it or totally corrupts the data on it or just completely destroy the drive? One that can be used without the use of drivers and presumably would come with a built in firewall to block hacks, etc. If not is there a way to diy something like this or modify a self encrypting usb so it does this? Could be a portable hd drive if there are no usbs that do this*
  14. My favourite one is the Feenix Aria Headset because of the nice look that the wood gives it.
