    TurtleTrain got a reaction from Squarq in Build Plan, Questions   
    Hey,
    Often PC Part Picker will tell you if items are not compatible and if there is a problem it is highly likely that you would be able to return it. Could I ask as to why you want Win 10 Pro as you could save some money on that and then spend said money on a different GPU with a greater amount of CUDA cores, therefore helping in your rendering applications, provided they support this.
     
    Hope this helps,

    Hey,
    One reason which may be less likely however possible is for someone to look up the part in order to get it from the same place, it may be that someone has censored this in order to not promote a store. If you are removing the labels such as those with your personal information on, you may as well remove these as it gives a better aesthetic, will prevent problems if there are any, and could help with recording as if they are removed I would assume it will help the camera as it will not zoom in and focus on them if you have it auto focusing.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from IKnight in NZXT 10 fan hub speed   
    Hey,
    I would recommend getting the 5 port touch screen one as I have that and it gives full control of fans both individually and in groups, as well as coming with a temperature probe so you can set it to performance more or even silent if you would prefer. As this is the same company and of similar price, I would assume it would be similar, and in terms of the pins, the connectors can fit 4 pin however only actually have the three, they will tell you the RPM for each fan, as well as the fan speed percentage, therefore making it very useful.

    OK, well as a budget friendly option, I would go with the HP Stream 14 if you just want a laptop. However i  would go for the Dell Inspiron 15 3000, i3, 1tb hdd, 4GB of ram for £319

    Not sure how much the are for you, but I'd look at the Asus Zenbook and Dell XPS 13 with the Kaby i5s. They get solid battery life. I've also had great luck with Samsung Series 9 (or whatever they're called now) ultrabooks.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from Mira Yurizaki in Working towards starting Gaming Cafe/Tech repair   
    Hey,
    I would recommend trying to go through main suppliers rather than through third party companies, also keep in mind that if you buy too much then you would have to find a place to store it and so I would advise not buying any specialist components. For example, if you want to repair phones, you could buy large amounts of screens are well as batteries and things like that, however I wouldn't advise buying large amounts for uncommon phones, things like iPhone's and Samsung devices are more common and therefore it is best to buy more components from those.
     
    It may be worth speaking to a tech store in your area and finding out where they source their components from, try not to let them know that you are planning to set up a company for it however as this may cause you more problems.
     
    Some commercial sites also do discounts if you order large amounts and you  are willing to wait, for example, if you purchase 10 screens on ebay you will get a better price for each one than if you were to buy them individually.
     
    Hope this helps.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from R3ep3r in What gpu should i get?   
    Hey,
    I have a single Asus Strix GTX 1080 and it has served me very well it looks good and performs amazingly well, also as it is Nvidia it has CUDA cores meaning that video editing can be optimized using it. Also it is very quite and has RGB lighting which can be synchronized or controlled separately. I would advise against SLI at the moment as there is still a bit of a problem with it I believe.
     
    Hope this helps.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from Janner558 in UV lighting   
    Hey,
    In answer to your questions:
    1. There may be however it is unlikely, it really depends on the power of the UV light
    2. Again it depends on the power however the case that it is in should probably shield it ok
    3. I should think so as the UV reactive fluid is often very bright and so it should shine through quite well
     
    Hope this helps

    TurtleTrain reacted to JoostinOnline in SSD To have fast boot   
    SSD's are by no means created equal, even among trusted brands.  The most important thing is 4K read speeds (which is often overlooked in favor of sequential).  This one has very good 4K read speeds, for example.

    Hey,
    For christmas I got my Dad an Acer Aspire that was in fact very good, it was £430 however I believe that it is on sale at argos for £400 at the moment.

    Hey,
    As I say, that one would possibly work however as you are in the US it may be worth using this one: https://www.amazon.com/Bright-VC500W-Voltage-Transformer-converter/dp/B000MX1QXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487466383&sr=8-1&keywords=120-240v+step+up+transformer
     
    If you intend to make it fit inside of the product then you could get a different one that is designed to go inside a product however if you do not need to fit it inside then that one should work fine.

    TurtleTrain reacted to Rohime in USB Bluetooth Adapter Questions   
    as long as you are running current OS (win10) fully patched, you shouldnt need to do anything special for the driver.   If in doubt though get one from the manufacturers website.  which is here: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBBT400/HelpDesk_Download/ 
     
    you should use it in a USB2.0 port (if you have one).   It'll work fine in 3.0 or 3.1 - but then you are just wasting the higher capacity of the USB3 port - putting it in a faster port will NOT make it go faster.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from Davidbombe in Pc restart instead of shutdown with network card   
    Hey,
    What is it plugged into, it is possible that there could be a problem with one of the lanes or possibly there could be one built into the system that is cont working properly. You could try moving it to one of the other PCIE lanes to see if that helps, remember 1x cards can be plugged into 16x slots so it may be worth trying that out

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from TonyTheNain in Gaming headset that will last a long time...   
    Hi,
    I have the Hyper X Cloud II and it is brilliant, the quality is amazing and you can plug in with either 4 pole jack or USB, with the USB you get 7.1 surround sound. The mic is also detachable and they are very confortable, I love playing games and listening to music as there is a strong impact and best of all they are $112.99 from amazon.ca and prices do vary.

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from shadowbyte in How many and which fans do I buy?   
    Hi,
    The included fans should do the job and unless you are concerned about noise, you shouldn't have problems, I purchased extra fans and don't really need them, I'd advise either going with the ones all ready installed or following shadowbye's advice

    TurtleTrain got a reaction from toasty6776 in Ok so here is the problem   
    Hi,
    I had the same problem with one of the headsets I got, I found that it was too wide and too heavy for my head, I sent it back and got the Kingston Hyper X Cloud 2, it is amazing, very confortable, I have worn it for at least 5 hrs straight, without having to even really touch it. It also fits all of your requirements and only costs $99.99, which you may find cheaper else where as this is based on a quick amazon.com search.
