    Hi, i have a ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition 8GB Graphics Card It's quite a large card with 3 fans, what's the best EGPU enclosure ? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-RTX3070TI-O8G-GAMING/techspec/ Thanks, Ben

    Hi, I'm having issues on every game with crashing. I think it might be CPU / Motherboard related. before i bought some new components... I recently bought a new PSU, RAM and GPU - See pcpartpicker below https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/snLGK3 I can play pretty much every game at high 1440p 144hz but i get crashing on every single game, can anyone help? Give me some things to try? Thanks, Ben

    Hi, I have a dell XPS 7590 - i5 9300h, 1650, 64gb ram and 512SSD I have 1 HP Z27k G3 and I'm looking at buying another. What's the best way for me to use the two monitors? at the moment, i use 1 USB type c to my laptop. will it be as simple as using the HDMI for the 2nd monitor? Will the 2nd display be 4k 60hz ? Bit of a stupid question i know... but i'd rather check now before spending £400+ on a monitor Thanks, Ben

    Hi all, hope you're all well. I will be tiding up ethernet cables that are in a patch panel ( see linked image https://ibb.co/zRmvbtt ) but i believe that there are about 50% of the ethernet cables that aren't in use. What's the best way for me to test if an ethernet cable is in use? most ports in the building aren't numbered or labelled so i have no idea where most of them go to. I looked at an ethernet cable tester, that would be useful but probably not what i need :/ What's the best way to go about it? Thanks, Ben

    Would anyone be able to help me? There's a windows XP pc at my work which uses a software called Label Gallery 2.0 but isn't supported on windows 10 and I can't find a download for that software anymore for windows XP. As a company we use .LBL files for our lable printers, I can't find any software to convert the files and use on Windows 10 What's the best way to go about things? Thanks, Ben

    Hi everyone. I am looking for a new cpu and motherboard but i'm not sure if i should go either intel or amd. I'm not sure if to wait for ryzen 5000 series or new intel cpu's. Also, i already have a Noctua NH-L9i i was going to buy a i7 10700 ( locked cpu as i was hoping to keep the temps down without having to buy a new cooler too as that cooler suggests not to go over 65w ) Here are my current specs from my current build minus the cpu and motherboard. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4YCm8J As i don't have a working gaming pc at the moment, i was thinking of buying a b550 or x370 motherboard and a ryzen 3100 just for the time being as even that is an upgrade on my old specs, and wait for ryzen 5000 series or even wait for ryzen 3000 series to come down in price a bit. My budget is £300 for cpu and motherboard but i can go higher if needed. i will only be playing games no editing or anything. Thanks, Ben

    Yeah i'll wait i thought it was going to be released much later than October! I was hoping to spending around £130 - i'm not bothered about RGB, having 2 m.2 slots would be nice my case is Phanteks Eclipse P300 ATX

    Hi everyone, i am upgrading my pc and need some help. I have a rtx 2060 6gb and have bought a 144hz 1440p monitor and need a new motherboard and cpu. I'm not sure if to wait for 4th gen ryzen or not. Will b550 support 3rd and 4th gen? if so, i might buy a b550 motherboard and buy a ryzen 5 3600 then upgrade to 4th generation in a year or so

    hi everyone. I have found two monitors i like but can't choose between them and wanted some advice. I will be buying 4th gen ryzen depending on release date and have a rtx 2060 6gb gpu Monitor 1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083S87D5K/?coliid=I7JC7NYTUC3G4&colid=16JLWVEYZYJPP&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Monitor 2: https://www.box.co.uk/Acer-Nitro-XV272UP-27-WQHD-HDR-IPS-Free_2450002.html#DetailTop

    Hi everyone - I took my pc apart and the gpu fits inside the pcie 16x slot perfectly ( outside the case ) This probably sounds ridiculous but it's almost like the gpu isn't long enough to fit all the way in as the mounting holes are correct but depth wise not long enough i have checked for cables underneath and for any capacitors and the left side just won't go in despite the right side clicking into place.The left side is probably 20% in :\ Can anyone help? ( Images below )

    Hi everyone I bought a new case which is the ' Phanteks Eclipse P300 ATX ' ( link below) and my 2060 doesn't click into the pcie 16x. i can get it about 60/70% of the way in. i have a mini itx board as i had a SG13B before this case and fit fine - i have attached some photo's below as well as my full specs. Has anyone got any ideas?

    Hi everyone, i have saved up enough money to buy a new motherboard and cpu but i'm unsure about 1080p or 1440p. I have a gtx 2060 6gb ( pcpartpicker linked below ) and have been looking at either a ryzen 5 3600 or a i5 9400f - will either of them give me 60 fps 1440p or is it best to stick to 1080p if you could keep the motherboard and cpu around £200 for both that would be great as i also need a new monitor and case Thanks, Ben https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3qDYZf

    Hi, i can someone help me with installing mac OS Mojave on my HP ENVY - 15-as102na? I have an imac to use for setting up my usb & installing MacOS Mojave.There are various kext files etc that i'm not sure about and need some help as some are hardware specific. I tried previously but got stuck on an apple logo and couldn't get past that, and tried today and had problems with Clover.

    The thing is i like the case, i'm fine with keeping the motherboard was just curious. i have a Zotac Geforce RTX 2060 TWIN FAN 6G and wanted to use that hp case but the 180w is nowhere near good sufficient enough
  22. Ben Mills
    Was looking at adding a gpu but the 180w psu isn't the best

    Hi, looking for a new power supply for a ' HP Pavilion 570-p030na ' It comes with a 180w psu, i was wondering what type of psu's i can fit in there? Also is it possible to replace the motherboard easily? As most pre built use custom dimensions.

    After looking around i see the Acer Aspire being the best option, ths specs are much better than naything compared to it in that price range 128gb m.2 ssd would be good + the 1tb hdd If you do a fresh install of windows on the ssd there won't be much bloatware you can use the 1tb hdd until you see a good m.2 for sale
