    Black Friday/cyber Monday - what would count as worth buying?

    Do we think we'll see any more discounts on 4070's on Friday/Monday? Need to buy as i've moved my 3060 on. I really want an MSI card, but the ASUS dual OC has piqued my interest but i'll kick myself if I shoot too soon...

    Is a modern GPU (eg: NVidia 4070) a total waste of time on an old CPU (eg: Intel I7 4790K)? - Anyone running a modern(ish) GPU on an old CPU?

    Just my 2p. Recently upgraded my OC'd 4690k paired with a 3060 to a 13700k. The difference is night and day. Previously in MW2, I was getting 99% CPU utilisation and only 50-60% GPU utilisation. Since the upgrade, i'm getting 30% CPU and 99% GPU. Performance in Multiplayer was still a really...

    3060 upgrade advice

    There was a short deal on a rainforest website 2 months ago where 4070ti was £640. I'm hoping the upcoming launch of the Super series might encourage some retailers to move some stock on.

    3060 upgrade advice

    Thanks for this. I'll take a look at the 4070 as an alternative.

    3060 upgrade advice

    Having just completed a 13700k build and splurged on a Dell AW34DWF, someone has offered me a good price for my 3060 and existing monitor. I'm only going to game at 1440p and had originally set my sights on a 4080, but having done some research, i'm thinking a 4070ti is probably going to be...

    Worth buying an AW3423DWF or waiting for new monitors?

    The colour calibration and brightness is pretty good spot on out of the box - yours shouldve come with a calibration certificate. I've found the HDR 1000 setting hard to balance when playing a couple of games (Warzone & Spiderman) as the brightness of whites is eye burning at times, so i've set...

    As far as delivery goes with UPS, mine was the same as you. No notification from UPS other than the "estimated date" - it arrived as promised.

    Worth buying an AW3423DWF or waiting for new monitors?

    Coming from 27" 1440p and retaining the same viewing distance it is like you are there. The motion is so smooth and the colours are so vibrant it really draws you in. I genuinely played better having the extra depth and visual quality. Be mindful I'm coming from a 2017 ips early-gen gsync...

    Worth buying an AW3423DWF or waiting for new monitors?

    So... Wow. Just wow. I was likely always going to be impressed coming from a S2716DG. They come really well packaged and are easy to assemble (apart from the cable cover which is a bit fiddly). They also come with a factory calibration certificate too which is nice. Mine was built August...

    Mines been delayed a week having ordered it on Wednesday.... Looks like demand might have outstripped supply. Any joy with yours?

    Worth buying an AW3423DWF or waiting for new monitors?

    I used the Health service Discount website code and got it for £665. If the revisions are going to be £1200+ then the current model is a mega at that price IMO. A lot of the initial issues with the DWF have also been corrected by firmware updates too from what i've read. As for burn in, Dell...

    AIO resonant "hum"

    Yea - 3 pin plug... anyway - found the problem. The fan directly below the pump, coupled with smart fan mode was the issue. The curve saw the fan speed increase between 35 and 45 degrees. This, as it turns out, was defaulted to a RPM range causing the horrific resonance. I've backed the fan...

    AIO resonant "hum"

    i've poked and prodded but haven't found anything loose.... also - I can't seem to control the pump speed from the BIOS. It's registering it at 4300rpm, but my only control options are PWM or DC? I'm going to take the cooler and put it outside of the case to see if that fixes the issue, and...

    AIO resonant "hum"

    Hi folks, I purchased a MSI Magcore C360 AIO for my 13700k build. It has the most annoying intermittent hum - it's completely unpredictable and doesn't change under load or temp, it's simply sometimes there and sometimes not. Do all AIO coolers have this issue? I'm temped to swap for either...
