I just picked a 2TB model up, bnib for £80 on ebay. Around £90 on Amazon. Decided to upgrade while they’re cheap! it’s in my 2nd slot so only running Gen3. No real issue with that except It’s right under my GPU and idle temps are around 50C with no heatsink. I transferred 300Gb of stuff off my...

My 3900x wouldn’t post above 1866. 1800 was perfectly stable and this speed suited my RAM. I was able to get some nice tight timings with it just got a 5800x3D. I get some TM5 errors at 1933 and an occasional WHEA and i can boot and bench at 2000 but get lots of WHEAs I guess I might be able...

£1350 on the scan website right now here in the UK It seems like there are a few cards coming through something that I’ve not seen for a long time. Maybe the pricing has finally reached a balance point.

As someone still stuck with a 980 TI because of scalpers, this is a nice bonus, especially with this game!

Nice. I went for the Phanteks P500 as the 5000D wasn’t big enough. Might’ve gone for this one, except for the price

Managed to eek it out so I’ve only done about 20% of the game so far. Waiting for my 3080 to arrive so I can crank up the settings. I got about 40hrs into a nomad play through and decided to restart as the guys voice was starting to bug me and switched to corpo chick which I am finding more...

3080s have completely dried up in the UK. I still get stock notifications of the 3070 and 3090 but the 3080 is crazy short in comparison A UK Twitter page posted a link to a clothing website that started to sell MSI products. They accidentally listed a 3080 gaming X trio among the products...

He meant the SN550 is a Dramless version of the SN750 - SN750 has Dram

I bought a Dramless SN550 as my 2nd drive based on the great reviews it's recieved. The headline figures aren't amazing but it does well in the other areas. Just ran some benches on my setup now. Specs in my specs first image: default test second image: real world & nvme third image: peak...

I never thought I would spend this much on a graphics card but as long as I can get one for msrp anyway...

Got a 500Gb one of these on eBay for £90 the other day for my new build. traded in my 2 x 1Tb 860 QVO and the sale of those almost paid for the 980 pro and the 1Tb SN550 i bought!

I had the same problem just now trying to activate a W10 key I bought off there in October last year for my new build I've finally assembled today. Via online chat i was sent a new key. Resolved in about 5 mins!

I got about £200 for the whole system. I bought the awe64 gold back in about 2004 or 2005 when they were very cheap on ebay. I also had a full-length awe 32 for a while which I also bought very cheap and sold for much more than I paid. I only wish I had bought several of them at it would have...

I just sold my Cambridge soundworks DTT 2200 5.1 surround system because I was given a Logitech z5500 setup I also just retired a raid 10 array that I built when I had a Q6600/P45 system in around 2008. In all that time it only had one HDD failure under warranty other than that I’m still...
