to be fair the prices reflect this now, there's only something like an 8% price increase for the 14700K

that does sound really good, I hope someone can give similar tips for android

I remember in a video a while ago when something went down or maybe the channel hack when someone couldn't get through to Linus or SNMP wasn't on loud or something Linus said on WAN show to Luke he wished there was a "blow up my phone" type emergency mode available to users so a certain message agreed with family in a text or an app set to only alert to major network/server outage etc could trigger it I just missed a dentist because my phone is always on vibrate due to notification bloat and wondered if anyone managed to find a good solution to this? Thanks

HM's seem harder to get in the UK, is there any UK equivalent ?

So I've not really solved the chair thing, I spent years growing up on one of those 80s style bucket chairs with 4 wheels and tended to sit cross legged, or at least with one foot under my other thigh, I've got an old SFF pc under my desk as a foot rest but I think I need something higher or that I can adjust because I'm certainly not comfortable sitting with my feet flat on the floor for any length of time. what's everyone's advice on footrests? Since then I've been on a gaming chair at home and a reasonable price office chair at work (back of it pivots and the seat slides if that makes sense) neither is great for any length of time and I end up fidgeting a lot, what kind of chair do I need for someone that can't get comfortable on a normal chair? will the footrest help? I tend to get numb patches, is that just bad chairs? Is getting a used Herman Miller still the best option?

Sorry for the necro but this is super interesting to me, I'm looking for a card to attach multiple old SSDs to my PC to plot Chia (cryptocurrency, write intensive workload) I'm mainly getting it as I don't have enough spare SATA ports and everyone was rude about the cheap PCIe sata cards like StarTech, as I ended up looking at RAID cards like the PERC H200 I wondered if RAID 0 across say 4 drives might give better performance than using each drive individually, to stagger the load on other components, the workload would be staggered across the 4 drives if they were separate so I assumed having 4x the performance in raid 0 would be beneficial when there's a peak in the workload, however maybe this wouldn't be the case and if there's a point where the 4 individual drives are all near 100% it may actually be quicker without the RAID 0, also is the H200 a good bet? thanks

I can't get into windows, booting recovery mode there's no restore points, I've used command prompt to clear both Caches folders https://thegeekpage.com/fix-pc-stuck-at-blurry-log-in-screen-in-windows-10/ and also set VaultSvc to automatic startup I've tried sfc scannow offbootdir offwindir from recovery but it just hangs, doesn't ever start the second line of "beginning scan" this is on an SSD, a standard scannow (I assume of the recovery partition runs in a little less than a minute) I left it at the hung screen for over 1 hour I've tried startup repair but it says it can't fix it but I don't think it's a startup issue, the PC starts up, I used the osk.exe to cmd.exe hack to get command prompt, start task manager, even open chrome (though as SYSTEM user so not that helpful) so the PC is functional, it just seems the login process has failed somehow, Safe mode, even safe mode command prompt require login and login just results in the blurry lack of login box

That's the max junction temp or as HWMonitor calls it "Hot Spot" but the generic "GPU" gets to near 90 as well, I'll check with the side of the case thing What's the easiest way to set a more aggressive fan curve? that definitely sounds sensible as my fant only goes to 1500rpm and isn't audible over the case fans Edit: Ahh, nevermind, I found the fan curve bit in radeon software, I remember having to do that with my HD5850 back in the day!

I've got a MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Mech OC in a Phanteks Eclipse P400A with an i5-10400f, I've added 2 extra ARCTIC P12 fans in the front and 2 ARCTIC P14 fans in the top and the 5700XT still hits 90+C what have I done wrong here? I thought a case layout with fans like this would be fairly hard to get wrong

Ahh, that's why the ARGB is in brackets because it's either/or? thanks for all your help

I just found this offer: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/850w-thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-full-modular-80plus-gold-sli-crossfire-single-rail-70a-140mm-fan-atx is the ToughPower GF1 the same as "Thermaltake | Toughpower GF1 (ARGB)" from the Tier List?

I did that for my EVGA Supernova G2 850w but I get just black screen complete resets sometimes on my PC and it's difficult to tell if it's my 5700XT having driver issues or a PSU brownout

Oh now I see what the old S tier is like this "Gold - best units in the tier " in the A- Tier now, is the Corsair RMx 850w 2018 (v2) for £142 a good option? it seems a lot of the other best units are the 1000W Titanium+ and it doesn't seem like that power is necessary anytime soon

There's so many subtle differences in numbers it's tricky isn't it, I see Corsair TXM listed but it says 2017, does that mean the TX850M that's also around £108? Also what's this lot mean?: EVGA | Supernova G2(L) / GS =>850W / P2 / PS / T2 (<=1200W/1600W) oh also on Corsair, which is why I didn't see the RM850, what does it mean "RM Gray"?

I don't strictly have a budget but also know I don't need to spend £250 on a 1500 watt PSU I'm never going to go Dual GPU but I could see this new 12pin GPU power business leading to fairly high draw single cards in 5 years so not against going 850-1000W, currently running 3900X and 5700XT and some HDDs etc Ahh, I meant Tier-A from here, not fussed about the 80+ rating
