  1. Nice , thank for the advice on the SSD heatsink. Yeah I tried it with the chipset fan , to be honest is wasn't too bad . If I had to leave it then it wouldn't of been the end of the world . And it's still an option to just leave it if the vertical gpu doesn't solve all my problems .
  2. So , I have now got my board x570 taichi and one of the above coolers and there are two main problems I've fit the cooler , it fits on the chipset just fine . However it then means that the 1st and second pcie slots are unusable with a long gpu (gtx1080ti with water lock) . The bottom slot is available , and may then be a option for some people . I however trying doing this in a inwin 303 and the bottom slot in that case is unavailable for any card as it's so close to the floor . I have ordered a bracket to turn the card vertical. This should allow for me to fit my card and cool both . The second problem is the metal cover that also acts as a nvme cooler . This obviously does not fit any longer . There seams to be two options here . Either cut a section out of the metal cover which would work but destroy any resale value , so I will leave it off and use a aftermarket nvme passive cooler. Iam still a fair ways off having it up and running but think I can see a way to the end , hopefully
  3. Imo First gen Normally absolute max 1.45v but I would highly suggest running it at 4.1 the extra juice for that small of amount of clock increase is not worth the extra wear on your cpu 1.375v is a good amount for 24/7 running . Save you 4.2 MHz for the odd bench run ect
  4. These look like they may do the job . I haven't got my board yet so cannot measure . But if the holes are within the spec I think I will give it a try . Cheap enough not to worry if it is no good £11.29 13%OFF | DIY North and South bridge Water cooled cooling watercooled cooler diagonal hole spacing 43mm-58mm https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/l2USYIG
  5. 47. Started with one.of those black and white multi game consoles with pong , some sort.of.racing game where you could move left or right to avoid the 2d cars . Moved onto BBC micro b . Think it was either 16 or 32 bit . Played revs , Chucky egg , elite then eventually moved to pc although my 1st pc was more word processor than gaming pc. Only consoles I have tried are PS1 and PS3 . Have had pcs pretty much constant . Rarely play games now . But do dabble . I enjoy ghost recon Wildlands . Did like GTA but it just became toxic online . Mainly tinker now . And use it for digitazing and use it as htpc
  6. Moving it from Windows to Linux is probably going to see the biggest gain of anything you can do . As others have said ,If you want to throw cash at it , max the ram and pop in a ssd drive

  8. The 8 pack Orion pc . The $48,000 version https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pack-orionx2-dual-system-extreme-overclocked-pc-intel-core-i9-7980xe-and-intel-core-i7-9700k-fs-006-8p.html And a comparison of one of equal spec that you have built yourselves to see how much can be saved and how much performance difference there is , considering overclockers claim there's is the fastest pc in the world lol .
  9. I'll sign up to floatplane when they charge a SMALL fee , and we can then get access to all the creators on the platform . Unless that happens unfortunately iam out .
  10. Yes 3000 series should be on am4 . Even with your 1st gen i5 , personally I would be still temped to wait until zen 2 release before buying . If you simply cannot wait try and go for a 2700. I think you will get much more life out of that than the 2600 for no other reason than the increased core count . Which is where thing appear to be heading going forward for the time being .
  11. Begining of 3rd quarter as far as we know upto now. Midrange zen2 is supposed to be around ( / bit highert than) 9900k performance
  12. Indeed .you have a CPU so your not desperate . Wait and see what zen 2 offers . If nothing else it will drop the Ryzen 2700 prices down a significant amount . And should drop the Intel prices some also
  13. Yeah sorry just read the full post . Forget my suggestion . Serve me right for half reading
  14. You need to put the old card back in . Boot into safe mode and run ddu (free to download just do search) remove the drivers by choosing remove drivers and shut down . Then change card and then start up . It could be a faulty card but try ddu 1st
  15. Do you know how much this is messing us with OCD up. Man I can't move on until I've watched the wan show lol. The Mrs is going mad at me . On a serious note . Hope u get sorted and hopefully no damage done
  16. I think intel to buy Radion is much more likely and much less of a competition problem
  17. You can pick RGB ones up on Ali express pretty cheap also around 10-15$
  18. Maybe I am just luck but I have a redmi note 4 pro . A mi note 2 and a mi mix 2s. And have not experienced a single ad on any of them . If you say they started six months into ownership then shuely this is most likely a virus / malwale no? . Are you guys buying the official global version or the discounted domestic versions . All mine are global version if that makes a difference . I just find it really strange . Redmi is huge in the bargain hunters area in the UK . just look on hduk and every other cheap phone deal is a redmi and most people are really happy with them . Maybe this is something new they just started doing , I hope not ?
  19. If you want new . Personally I would go for the radion . I prefer amd's driver support and that memory should make the usefulness of the card much longer . Saying that I have just bought a 1080ti , new at discounted price UK £500 so around $570 or so ,. So there still out the new but hard to find and probably need to go used if you wanted one but then that would be cheaper also . To be fair 1080ti , Vega 2 or 2080 , you are going to be happy with any one of them . So I would go with which ever you can get the best deal on
  20. you can grab used vega for around £220 on ebay if you can go the little extra
  21. Yeah please, please, sort the volume on the wan show intro . It's fantastic waking the full house up at silly o'clock every sat morning when the volume ramps up NOT
  22. They have brought in drone dome via MOSSAD . Apparently it can locate the source of radio as well as jam or take control of a drone . Looks like isreal has just made a nice arms sale to each and every UK airport . And probably most in Europe also .
  23. Have you ran your memory at stock setting (no xmp ) and just rules memory out . My 2600x plus vega56 system for some reason is extremely fussy with memory and results in crashes exactly like your experiencing . Although I do now and again get a blue screen . However not always
  24. Evga df-85 full tower . Again not sure on price . Comes in under over here (UK) but not sure over there
