    Who's got the oldest PSU?

    In my work PC I'm using a 500w OCZ ModXStream PSU that I bought new in 2010. It's a little noisy but works fine, although I wouldn't use it with any high end components just in case.

    Where do people buy their music?

    I use Deezer for finding new stuff but still buy music I'll listen to regularly as I put on my NAS as FLAC files. If it's a band a really like I'll buy new CD's and keep them. For anything else I'll buy second hand off eBay.

    With PSU's out of stock, do I risk old PSU on new CPU ?

    I wouldn't have a problem reusing it. In fact if I was in your position it would be going into my new build permanently. I'd just do as Paul_RD suggests and give it a good clean out.

    Upgrade from a Pocophone F1

    Just got an Oppo Reno which cost £275. I'm pretty impressed with it.

    Hopefully, I stupidly followed the hype and bought into them at around 11p.

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    Bought into LGEN a little today. Watched it get up to around 219 a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd missed the boat but the drops over the last couple of days have tempted me in. Added a bit of SLA as well which has followed a similar path recently.

    Vettel leaving Ferrari

    After reading his statement above it kind of suggests he'll be retiring.

    Vettel leaving Ferrari

    Supprised at the news, thought he'd be there another season. I think he'll retire, have been expecting him to in the near future anyway. He won't want to step down too much in terms of teams but more importantly he seems to have lost his passion for the sport in the last couple of seasons. He's...

    Building a raised patio

    It depends on what the current surface is. It needs to be solid otherwise it will move under the weight of the new material. Also, what is going to be around your new patio to retain and stop you seeing the new fill material.

    Motherboard decision.

    A 1080 isn't restricted by PCIe3 so unfortunately there won't be any gain to be had. The immediate gain will be from using a PCIe4 SSD drive. Future GPU's will require PCIe4 but I couldn't say how soon that will be.

    Motherboard decision.

    I'd wait for B550 too. I'm currently runnig a B350 and from reading around the extra features that will be brought to the B550 over the B450 are what Relentless has highlighted above.

    Xbox one S controller - connect to pc

    Another vote for the offical wireless dongle. Been using one for a few years now and apart from a handful of times where it failed to connect, which is solved by unplugging the dongle and plugging back in, it's been perfect. Not worth the potential frustration of using Bluetooth via a third...

    Have a look at IG as well. If you trade 3+ times per month the trade fees are £3 on UK shares and free on US shares although there is a 0.5% comission on the currencey exchange, although you can load up your account in other currencies if you wish.

    Tyre blackening

    I use Autoglym instant tyre dressing but rather then spray it on I decant the bottle into a tub and use a paint brush to apply. A cheap brush at least the height of your sidewall makes it much easier, especially getting right up to the rim. Spraying doesn't work for me as the overspray just gets...

    Shop bought soup

    Those Tesco soups are excellent, way better than their finest range and better than any of the other branded fresh ones. I have them several times a week. The three bean chilli one is probably my favourite with a crusty roll, no butter.

    What size of SSD are you looking for?

    Quietly powerful 4K gaming rig

    The MSI X570 boards tend to have a poor reputation, although I am no expert on the various X570 models so I'm sure someone else can recommend an alternative. I'd get a larger SSD. That will fill up in no time.

    Lawnmower recommendations

    Agree with the comments regarding Flymo vs Bosch. Had a few Flymos and they've all failed after a few years. The latest purchase was a Bosch and it is certainly much better.

    4770K upgrade

    It's a great choice but the following are also good choices: My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £149.99 1 x Corsair Force MP510 series 960GB NVMe PCIe M.2 Solid State Drive (CSSD-F960GBMP510)= £179.99 Total: £338.68...
