    1080p 2020 PC - upgrades for Far Cry 5/6

    Thank you all for your considered views on this. I think a 1440p monitor is the most sensible option for me, and then upgrade as and when (and if needed). I'm bidding on a second-hand ASUS ROG Strix XG27WQ 27" currently.

    At the bottom of the top! My FAH goal acheived

    You've literally sailed past me! I currently have 19m points to my name. As soon as I heard that there would be SARS-CoV-2 work units, I thought I'd lend a hand with my system. I've been running the FAH client over night on my i7-7700K 2070RTX system, recently upgraded to Ryzen 3700X. It's a...

    3700X arriving today - infinity fabric question

    I love my new machine. The light show from the NZXT H710i is great. I have the Infinity Fabric at 1800MHz / 3600MHz stable, anything above that seems to cause problems. RAM in 1:1. Tweaked the RAM down to CAS16 timings at 3600 speed. I'm reasonably happy with that outcome :)

    3700X arriving today - infinity fabric question

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I've got the DRAM calculator (great utility) and the Typhoon Burner for RAM info :) Cheers about the BIOS version :)

    3700X arriving today - infinity fabric question

    Hi all. I'm due to receive an 3700X and MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard today. Currently running an i7 7700k system (which I see still command a great resale price on ebay). I've done some reading... I'm planning to, hopefully, run the infinity fabric at 1900MHz, with my RAM in sync 1:1...

    To Buy 8 pack 4133Mhz or OC my 8 pack 3600Mhz...

    At the weekend I purchased 2x kits of the 4133 CAS18 8Pack Team Group RAM, for a total of 32GB. Given the low price I thought why not! I note that one of the reviewers has said that 4000 CAS 17 worked for them. 32GB will probably be overkill but I think that having 4 DIMMs filled should allow...

    SETI@home Box / Future project - need advice

    Hey all. So I picked up an AMD X4 PC for £18 on ebay :) Came with 4GB RAM, 600Watt PSU, DVD drives, 2 oldie monitors etc. No HDD, so shelled out for an a 120GB Samsung 830 SSD - probably overkill space wise. Also ordered a GTX 1050 Ti to replace the existing 8600 GTS card. Plan is to leave...

    OCZ 1000W just blew

    Great news! I'm up and running again and everything works!!! The Thermaltake PSU was out of stock (not from OcUK), so I jumped onto OcUK and ordered a Super Flower* 650W Platinum PSU. I figure that will be enough Watts since I'm planning on staying with a single GPU, and an Nvidia one at...

    OCZ 1000W just blew

    My PSU has given up. Bang. Spark. Smell. Electric tripped. I tried switching it on a few times. No good. I hope the rest of my components are ok, especially my SSDs. Ordered a 730w thermal take psu tp tie me over for now. :eek:

    AMD Phennon II X6

    RETIRED. After years of good service my Phenom II X6 1090T has been retired and is now taking a good earned rest sitting on my shelf - until I sell it on ebay. I replaced it with a brand new FX 8350 for £120. There are a few new games coming out soon that I want to enjoy to the max e.g. Fall...

    AMD Phennon II X6

    Hi all. I'm just curious, is anyone else out there still using an AMD Phennon II X6 CPU? It's a little long in the tooth but mine's clocked at 3.8GHz and it's still holding up when paired with an Nvidia 970. I'm not much of a gamer these days, but Fallout 4 will be on my Xmas list :cool...
