I'm a fan of the mini because of the size

Great upgrade. I went from a 2600k + AMD 470 4GB to a 3700x + 3060Ti FE. Not as big of an upgrade as you but still a massive jump and I'm really happy with everything. I got the 3700x second hand on this forum for £160 about 6 months ago, can't remember if that was including or excluding p&p...

Haha, it can sometimes be an issue on lower resolution screens, but generally if you are proficient with the language then it's quite easy to do it even when they are tiny and some of the strokes are kinda pixellated together. Think about it like how you can solve captchas pretty easily even...

I haven't read the entirety of the thread up until now but I did read the first several pages. I'm a native English speaker but I also speak Chinese fluently (learned myself as an adult) and I can say with 100% certainty that Chinese is way more logical and simple than English, in terms of...

No worries, good choice :)

Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E is an old model but it's really small and can fit 6 HDDs, or 9 if you convert the two 5.25" bays too. I've got an old one you could have for free (just pay shipping) but it's a bit scratched up so dunno if you'd be interested.

I don't know but I'm still waiting for a new mATX successor to the H400. From what NZXT have said though, they are probably never going to make another mATX case again which sucks

Can't remember the years and prices for the older cards but I'll list them anyway. They were all around £100-150 anyway. 6600 GT 7600 GT HD6800 GTX760 2017 - RX470 4GB - £90 used 2021- RTX3060 12GB - £450 new (forum deal) I'd never spent more than about £150 on a card before. Even a 3060...

It really depends though. For example OCUK may have bought a 6700XT for £700 and are offering it for sale for £780. If no-one is buying it then they may reduce the price to £700. But if still no-one is buying it, they have a decision to make. Either they can reduce the price to £650 now and sell...

Same here although obv I can see the MM thread so not a problem.

I'm interested in the answers to these questions too. I got a 3060 in the recent forum deal but I would have preferred a 3070. Am I now unable to use future deal codes? Even if, for example, I put the 3060 on sale in the member's market for less than I paid for it?

Aye I noticed that, compared to the MSI Mortar board, on these two I'm looking at the PCI-E slot is one further down. That may actually be good though? As it makes a bit more room above the GPU for my massive CPU cooler, and I'm not interested in triple slot cards anyway - looking more at the...

It looks like this motherboard has some lights at the bottom right corner, near the chipset heatsink. Just wondering if it's possible to control/disable these from within the bios? Also any other tips or thoughts on this mobo would be great. Thinking of ordering one. It's either this or the...

Sorry this is slightly off-topic but what are you referring to here?

Am I missing something with all this talk about drivers? Haven't Intel been making iGPUs for many years? AFAIK these new dedicated cards are based architecturally on their iGPUs so shouldn't a lot of the driver code also be shared? Point is they aren't starting from scratch. They're actually...

Funnily enough I have the same problem - I want to buy an H400 and have been looking for one for ages but can't find them on sale anywhere :/ I assume you're referring to the dust filter that sits on top of the case? I didn't realise they were fragile enough to be "pulled apart" but that's...

Thanks guys - will try your suggestions and report back :)

Hi guys. Had a bit of a disaster last night. I was going to swap my new CPU in (3700x replacing 3600) but when I removed the old CPU some surplus paste which had been on the side of the CPU somehow fell down onto the pin holes of the motherboard below. I've done my best to clean it but it seems...

Require them to take a video of the card maybe? Getting a bit convoluted I guess. I like your idea though.

Read this post and was really excited and eager to finally buy one. Clicked through and looked at the price. Disappointed. I can't afford £900 on a graphics card, let alone midrange one. That should be the cost of an entire midrange PC.
