I’ll give them a look thanks for the suggestion. I have an EVGA at the moment and it’s worked perfect 

Yeah I’ll be getting the case and PSU I think in the UK. America seem to stock Corsair PSU’s a lot and I’ve had horrendous experiences with their RMX line and their customer support so I’m aiming for another brand

I was considering it but the thing that put me off is I’m running two different kits of ram that don’t match. It has had some slight issues where sometimes the kits won’t agree with each other (I think that’s the issue as the pc is perfect when running one set).
 
I think I’m just kind of ready for a totally new build. Plan was when I build my new pc I’m just going to give my old one to my younger sister because the 6700k will be fine for Roblox I’m sure 🤣

Definitely for sure it does sound like the RAM DIMMS are playing nicely together as well as with the CPU. 

Will do, thanks again for the suggestion. All this hassle just because Escape from Tarkov wants to use all my RAM xD

Apple already has a system in place to reduce battery degradation (every once in a while it wont charge past %85 on my M1 MBA,it waits for awhile then charges), I personally wouldnt bother BUT if you want peace of mind go ahead.

Ah, interesting! Well glad its working now, maybe it was just a bad cable/connector after all
 

Yeah the audio interface is powered by the USB cable only. I suspected the cable would be the issue as the issue only started once the original supplied cable broke. Apparently they recommend the amazon basics cables so im going to order that and hopefully it fixes the issue. Thanks for the help

They're picking up the monitors on the 15th so hopefully theyre fast with the process after that

I once bought a monitor that ended up having dead pixels and it eventually spread across my whole screen as if my monitor had some form of monitor cancer.
 
I got a monitor from Gigabyte earlier this year and I spotted one dead pixel so I returned it immediately. They ended up sending me a new one that didn't have dead pixels. The box was unsealed meaning that they manually checked for them for me. I would say return it again and you should either buy from a company with better quality control or just keep buying the same monitor until one actually works.

It all depends on what your doing, If it's professional work, I suggest just going with new one or just getting a new monitor. If your doing other things, its fine unless you get it for cheaper.

Nah, you're not picky at all.
Dead pixels should not be accepted on monitors, companies should have a level of QA to make sure panels with dead pixels don't make it in production units.
Of course dead pixels can still occur, so they should have a good way of handling these types of issues (i.e. quick returns/replacements).
 
With ISO-9241-302, 303, 305, 307:2008 they are allowed to have some dead pixels though. Usually monitors fall in Class 1 or 2, meaning they can have 1/2 dead pixels per million pixels on screen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9241#ISO-9241-302.2C_303.2C_305.2C_307:2008_pixel_defects
So do keep in mind if you only have a couple dead pixels, they can decline your return/warranty request for that reason.
While I don't have any specific recommendations, I have always had good experience with Samsung in the regard of having no dead pixels, including their panels (which multiple manufacturers use in their monitors).
That's not a specific recommendation though.

Personally i would say no. But some dont mind. if its like in the corner i wouldnt really care tbh
 
Just ask for another return and possibly a coupon for some discounts seeing as it happened twice 😉
 

Pc seems to be working now. I dont get the BIOS screen anymore when I boot up so I think we are all good now. Thanks for your help everyone

Hi,
 
Sorry for the late reply. I have just tested that video you linked on my TV and it looks perfect. I am unsure what this issue could be then. I dont know if it could be a faulty tv but I dont imagine so if some videos work and some dont. Unless the TV is somehow trying to force HDR if thats even possible? Idk if it is but just brainstorming ideas that might make the colours look terrible.

Thanks for the reply

Im not sure when the market will go back to normal however I just sold my 1080ti (bought for £700 in 2017) for £610. I didnt even intend on selling it at that price but people drove the bids to insane amounts. If you don't want to go without gaming I would say dont risk it as I dont think anyone knows right now when the market will become normal again.

Only reason I sold my 1080ti is because i managed to get a 3070

I don't think it should. There could be some difference in packet loss between the two computers, but half the speed seems too much of a difference to explain that way. I'm out of ideas, but let's hope someone else brings some fresh ones.

I went into the network and sharing center there and it says on my pc (the slower of the two) the ethernet status is showing 1.0Gbps

I vaguely concur in a squishy I think I read something somewhere kind of way.  I vaguely recall a passage where it was mentioned that the XboxX had Dolby atmos and the other console had no Dolby stuff at all. 

He was.

Either way, even if I have to wait until this is all over the info/opinions you have all provided has helped a lot

Ok, thanks for the help!

Yeah I think i'm just going to replace the switches to save worrying about other people trying to use the switch. Thanks everyone
