I have just build a very similar system with the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk wifi, Ryzen 9 3950x and 64GB (2x32GB) RAM. The only difference being I am using TOUGHRAM DDR4 3600MHz. I found this thread because I'm having the exact same issue. The BIOS shows that the RAM is rated at 3600MHz but is only...

Yeah I'm booting from the SSD. It usually hangs on the motherboard splash screen then boots fine. Thanks for the tip, I'll check the event log I'll look into overclocking. I've only really tried it once on a previous pc and the anxiety was too much! Any recommendations on software? I think I...

Ah that's good to hear! Nothing is struggling really, the only thing that takes any amount of time is booting. After spending so much on a graphics card I didn't want to be holding it back with old hardware. Thabks for the help

Hi all, A few years ago I got some brilliant advice on a new build from some on the forums. At the time it was about a good a spec PC as I could buy so it's lasted me going on 5 years Here are the original specs: 1 x Intel 4930K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor 1 x Samsung 500GB...

That's really helpful. Thanks for all the help

Hi all, My nephew is on the look out for a gaming PC. He already has a PS4 but his friends are starting to get into PC gaming and he's managed to save up his birthday money and asked me to help. I've built some PC's in the past but am out of touch with hardware so need a little advice. He needs...

They both have fairly cumbersome CPU coolers and graphics cards. I was imagining having to use a 4U case. Is this just a matter of being efficient with space? I've read a little about HDBaseT but thought this was just a standard? Does it run over Cat6 then I'd use a different adapter over the...

Wow! Thanks for the incredible reply! The PC's aren't in rack cases at the moment but I intend to put them in some just to keep it tidy and all in one place. Ive never heard of crashplan, that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Do you use it yourself? Would it be enough to just run...

Hi all, I've just bought my first house (wooooo!) and it's a fixer upper (boooo!) We're getting it fully rewired and would like to take the opportunity to run some ethernet. My fiance and I work from home and run a software development company. We use the network a lot for sharing files...

Hi guys, I'm looking to pull the trigger on an £1800 build, there or there about, tomorrow! It's actually around a £2100 build, but that's including a 27" Korean monitor in the hopes of getting a decent overclock out of it for 96Hz or so unless there's an equal equivalent on OcUK, in which case...

How does the Kingston HyperX compare to the Corsair Vengeance? YOUR BASKET 1 x Corsair Vengeance RED 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R) £161.99 1 x Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (4x4GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit (KHX24C11T3K4/16X)...

Assuming that the Gigabyte board works with the IB-E chip, I might go for something like this: YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel 4930K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail (BX80633I74930K) £458.99 1 x Samsung 500GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE500BW) £279.95 2 x Asus HD 7970...

I was thinking that myself. Ignorance is expensive!

Ah. I'm just concerned that the one review states that it's loud and not entirely practical when used with that board. Would prefer a quieter cooler if possible.

So I currently have the below spec in my sights. It's for 3D rendering and real-time 3D graphics systems. I've chosen the 4930k over the 4770k for this reason. I've chosen the cooler based simply on aesthetics! YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel 4930K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail...

Hi all, I'm building a new machine and have been looking at the 4930k i7. I noticed a comment on this bundle: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-064-OP that says that the cooler isn't a good match. I'm particularly concerned about the volume and would like to keep it as...

In my experience, when doing a lot of rendering, the more RAM the better! Is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Coolera lot better than the stock cooler? Also, is the Corsair Vengeance RAM compatible with Ivybridge? It only states 'compatible with Sandybridge' on the OCUK shop :/

Hi all, A friend (Nokkonwud) recommended I posted here for some advice on a budget upgrade I'm planning. I already have a suitable case, monitors, peripherals etc. A 500w PSU and a GeForce FX 9600GT. I didn't really want to spend more than £300. The PC will be used for work (I'm a 3D games...
