    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but since drop has moved mainly to audio gear and keyboards (I know they have SOME other stuff but those 2 areas make up ~90% of their website), was wondering if anyone knows good alternatives? Been ages since I bought off there but honestly was just looking to upgrade my watch collection and found out they seemed to have removed alot of things that they sold. Any suggestions or even redirection to other forums/ communities would be appreciated

    So I tried installing that, and it wont as ive got a previous version installed- I installed every previous version, and went through the uninstall part of the registry and got rid of the key. Any suggestions on what i should do next?

    Quick back story, if you cba, see next paragraph. So pretty much I had this problem ages ago, and decided to just leave it uninstalled, but I need Shadowplay as im now relatively invested into youtube, so i've decided to get back into this rabbit hole. Right, so after going through the installation screen, this cheeky bugger pops up: I have searched for downloads with names like the aforementioned and have gotten nowhere. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it enormously. :)

    Cheers mate! I'll give the books a go I reckon.

    So I recently bought a drop/ Sennheiser pc38x, which is great and all- but its much tighter than my old hyperx headset and this causes much pain on only the left side of my head where my glasses are (I wear metal glasses). Is there anyone that has had this issue and can give me any advice? Cheers.

    That's awesome. If the t16000 has the same hall effect sensors, that might be a good shout with a standalone x55/56 throttle (thinking it would be good to have dual throttle control, or if a cheap warthog throttle comes up). Think I might just wait it out to see when the good deals flare up on ebay and snag them. Also, I know you mentioned the standalone DCS version, I use steam, I haven't purchased any modules yet, can I use the YT promo codes on steam and if not would it be advantageous to use the standalone DCS version?

    Thanks for the recommendation, ill check out those subs, the sensor replacement also sounds like a good idea considering the price, I'm not looking to fly the A-10 specifically, although i will most likely get that dlc for DCS once my account balance allows it (I have learned quickly that simming on DCS is an expensive hobby), but mostly just looking for a decent quality HOTAS that will last throughout the years, as with the other DSelectronics, I might consider getting different bases from sites like you mentioned, but again, once my bank allows it(I'm 15 with an inconsistent stream of income), and same goes for adding rudders into the setup. Once again though, thanks for the info, it'll almost definitely come in handy. Also, do you have much experience with an x56 HOTAS? I've seen some singular stick/throttle listings on ebay (i.e. one without the other), and the x56 seems to be the next best (mainstream) thing from the A10 stick. Would it be a bad idea to maybe get a warthog hotas and a cheaper x56 throttle or would it make more sense to go all the way with full thrustmaster setup?
  8. PC__Noob
    well I've tried looking on some other sites like shpock, fb marketplace and a few others, and it seems that ebay has the widest variety of options; the UK HOTAS landscape (as i've seen it) aint very big, but i'll continue to monitor them anyway just incase something pops up. Nice BRRRT btw.

    Im looking to buy a used warthog hotas, i have seen listings on ebay but they are all auctions, anyone know of a good site to look for a hotas in the UK where i can make offers/ buy now? Thanks in advance. p.s.: Not sure if this is the right sub to put it in, but didn't see anywhere else that would be better.

    I'm having the same problem and cant find the DeviceInstallDisabled in my registry. Does it have a different name/abbreviation? All I have in the parameters are these:

    I cant seem to find a solid answer anywhere so i thought i'd try here. I recently got 66% on a past paper which got me a 4, but my mums gonna send me to the gulags if i don't get a 5.Is it easier to get this grade on a higher paper?

    I'm using a zotac 2060, honestly nothing too bad to say about it. I watched THIS video from tech deals and the benchmarks show that there's not much of a performance difference, temps are good on the zotac card and I think the value is pretty good.
  13. PC__Noob
    Alright thanks. Ill stick with the same RAM.

    A while back, I bought 2x4gb stick of 3000mhz patriot RAM. ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0157UPYZ8/?tag=pcp0f-21 ) and was designed for " the latest intel and amd platforms " Now I have a need to upgrade to 16gb( using 4 sticks in total). On amazon it says designed for intel x99 and 100 series platforms. Have they changed the RAM and will it still work on Ryzen? If not what RAM would you recommend? Any advice would be appreciated. Here's my build: Ryzen 5 2600x, Gigabyte B450M DS3H matx mobo, patriot viper 2x4GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM, Zotac Geforce RTX 2060 6GB GPU, NZXT H500 white,CM 500W PSU, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kwondant/saved/ ( excl. CPU cooler, fan and PSU ).

    Aight thanks mate
  16. PC__Noob
    Right.

    I have been upgrading my PC to the point where im only keeping the storage, current upgraded parts are: Ryzen 5 2600X Gigabyte B450M DS3H MATX mobo 4x4GB DDR4 Patriot viper RAM @3000mhz Adata 240GB SSD and SG Barradcuda HDD. Seasonic modular 620W 80+Bronze psu NZXT H500 Also some custom cables When I look at reviews, they basically perform the same, with some doing better in some titles than others. Will it actually make that much of a difference which one i buy? Ill get either this superclocked 1060 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/tJyxFT/evga-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-sc-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-6163-kr or a sapphire pulse card: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/y2DzK8/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-8gb-pulse-video-card-11265-05 or the nitro+ version. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/sF648d/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-8gb-nitro-video-card-11265-01 Edit: Im using a 1080p monitor.

    Thanks to everyone who replied, much clearer choice now (☭ ͜ʖ ☭)

    Hi, A friend is telling me to get the 2600 because he thinks its better for gaming that the 1600x, but the 1600x has a higher clock speed and here it gets better results than the 2600. Opinions? Edit: I already have an AIO I can use for the 1600x
  20. PC__Noob
    So the ryzen 3 1300x is selling for more than the 2200G. As far as I know have the exact same specs ( apart from the graphics ofc ) is it because the 2200G produces more heat or something? If they are the same I might as well purchase the 2200G. Anyone know why the 1300x is worth more than the 2200G? https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-YD130XBBAEBOX-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B0741DLVL7/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1535384452&sr=8-5&keywords=AMD%2BRyzen%2B3&th=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-YD2200C5FBBOX-Wraith-Stealth-Graphics/dp/B079D3DBNM/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1535384754&sr=1-2&keywords=Ryzen+3

    Pretty much always use AMD CPUs Quite like CMs water cooling solutions and PSUs. Still use my iPad but I use an S7 Edge. I'm weird
  22. PC__Noob
    Awesome. So future-proofing, and more features. Thanks, also I'll use my CM Nepton 120XL to overclock it. Cheers for the advice.
  23. PC__Noob
    Thanks for the recommendation, why should I stay away from the A series mobos? EDIT: Nice price point for an upgrade like that, thanks man!
  24. PC__Noob
    Great step by step guide!

    Hey, I'm going to be upgrading my CPU to a ryzen 3 1200 ( or 1300x, unlikely though ) and i've heard that it can support up to 2667MHz of DDR4 but you can enable XMP to get it to work with 3200MHz RAM. I believe that AMDs ryzen CPUs benefit a lot from higher memory clock speeds, but will getting closer to that 3200 limit cause diminishing return? Any recommended brands that have a good value for money? I'm looking to get 8GBs of DDR4 but don't want to spend any more than £100 on RAM ( I know that dual channel is better but I cba to pay more especially how much they go for right now ). Just need some advice on what to get, as it's a lil confusing. Cheers! UPGRADE PLAN: Athlon X4 860K _________ Ryzen 3 1200 Gigabyte A68HM FM2+ __________ Gigabyte A320M AM4 Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 __________ 8GB DDR4??
