I currently have a logitech X56 HOTAS, but find that I don't use it that often as it's uncomfortable when it's on top of my desk. I'm currently exploring affordable non-permanent mounts for either my desk or chair, and would appreciate any suggestions. If it helps, my desk is 3cm thick, my chairs is a GT Omega Pro Series, and I'm in the UK. Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks in advance!

Just wanted to come back and say that the use of an antenna extender done the trick, I'm now getting ~200 mbps download speeds. For anyone interested, this is the antenna that I went for: https://amzn.eu/d/3FSNL6p Thanks for everyone's help!

My desk is perpendicular to the router, so my monitor is only beside the antenna and not really in the way. I'll try a sharkfin/extender and see how I get on with moving that about the room.

They're plugged into the wifi card, see attached image. And apologies, I meant to sepcify teh exact card in my PC Spec. WiFi Card: TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter And there's nothing that I can realy do t remove obstacles. My PC sits on my desk next to my monitor. the only other real obstacles are walls/floors between it and the router. Due to my office and the router access point, neither can really be moved. Though, when putting my phone right next to the antenna for a speed test, it get's the same speeds as my pc: ~30mbps down. Would it perhaps be worthwhile trying a 3rd party shark-fin antenna?

The antenna are the 2 that came with the WiFi card, so are just around the back of my case.

Apologies, I posted before I had finished typing, original post should be edited now.

Any help on this would be fantastic. For some reasons outwith my control, I am unable to run an ethernet cable to my desktop. While i have lived with this issue for a while, it has recently begun to really bother me, so would like to try and sort it. I should be getting somewhere in the neighbourhood of 250-300mbps download speed, and this is achieved by my phone in the same location as my desktop on the 5GHz netwrok, while PC peaks at 70mbps on 2.4GHz, and 30mbps on 5GHz. I have tried a multitude of fixes, as listed below: I've optimised the channels that my router is uing for both networks I have tried using alternate DNS servers on my desktop i have ensured my wifi card's drivers are as up-to-date as possible My PC Specs are as below: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x M.Board: Gigabyte x570 Gaming X RAM: 4x8GB Corsair Vengenace LPX DDR4 3000MHz C15 XMP 2.0 (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (MSI RTX3070 Ventus 2X OC) WiFi card: TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter * OS Drive: Kingston 128GB SSDNOW300 OS: Windows 11 home 22H2 22621.963 PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3 80+ gold * This drive has recently been temporamental, and will be replaced soon, as well as a clean install of windows. I mention this incase this relatively old drive has anything to do with my issue Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Budget (including currency): £400 Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Microsoft Office Suite, Chrome, etc Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Putting a build together for my girlfriend, and she's pretty much given me free range. However, she stipulates that it must be as small as possible (hence the mini ITX), and due to where the PC will be located, must have WiFi capabilities. It doesn't need to be a fancy build, she will simply be using it for university work - word processing, powerpoint, excel, etc. Having a look online, and I'm liking the look of the Silverstone Milo 10 as a case option, but am open to suggestions. Any help would be great, especially as it's my first time attempting a SFF build.

Hi, I currently have a 2 8gb sticks of memory in my system, and am looking to double this. Currently, I have 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000 MHz C15 XMP 2.0. Two re-order another of this kit at the moment is ~£75. I have stumbled across a possible alternative kit however; 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000 MHz C16 XMP 2.0. With this alternative, I would have a saving of about £20, compared to re-ordering my existing kit. Before ordering, I was wondering if I would run into any trouble with running these two different kits in my system (the difference being C15 vs C16)? Thanks for all and any help in advanced!

Even if routed outside, would have to do some runs inside as my PC is nowhere near an external wall. the issue doesn't lie with the Ethernet though (or lack there of), as that will hopefully happen eventually. It's with the random WiFi disconnects. I believe it may be specific to my PC due to the fact that it seems to be the only thing that drops the connection

I am the floor above the router, more or less directly above it. In terms of the Ethernet, I am afraid that is due to parents being unwilling to rip up carpets, skirting boards and the likes to run a cable.

Yeah, we have control. But have tried everything that I can on that front too, like trying each frequency on different channels to see if that would help. But it didn't. We're currently in talks with the provider about upgrading the router, but nothing on that front yet.

I am running my PC over WiFi, as I am unable to run Ethernet to it, using a tp-link tx50e WiFi card. This WiFi card was a recent upgrade, and is getting me speeds that my old one wasn't. However, the one problem that it has failed to fix is my WiFi connection randomly dropping. As far as I can tell, there is no pattern to when the WiFi cuts out. Though when it does happen, it usually happens twice in the space of 30 minutes or so, then settles for a good few hours. I've done a fair bit of digging online, and have attempted the following fixes to no avail: Ensured drivers are up to date Disabled the ability for windows to "turn the device off to save power" under the Power Management tab of the adapter properties Have tried manually allocating DNS Server addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) As a student operating entirely online at the moment due to the pandemic, this is extremely frustrating. If anyone has any advice for what I could try to fix this, it would be very much appreciated.

I'm looking at buying a RTX 3070 and have found a good deal for one made by Inno3D. I am just looking to find out people's thoughts on the company? Are they fairly reputable?
