    It's too hot :(

    It's been blistering hot all day, then around 3pm(ish) a storm hit, lovely breeze for about half an hour, now it's back to being stuffy and humid again. :(

    Why you SHOULD be using Firefox

    I've been rocking Firefox 56.0.2 ever since I tried and rolled back Quantum 4(?) years ago Lately i've been running into issues where websites won't load fully or anything under the CloudFlare umbrella just flat out tells me my browser is too old. The easiest solution (and most secure) is to...

    The last game you completed, and rating (Console Edition)

    Struggling to get into it. My gaming enthusiasm these days seems to be buying games I can find for cheap then just leaving them in my digital library forever. Can't put my finger on it. I went from Ratchet to Miles Morales and even that feels like a chor to play, though swinging round the...

    Samsung Odyssey 49" OLED G9 G95SC

    I've got an OLED B7 TV, going five years strong for me, but babying that is a little different to a monitor. How has OLED tech come on since 2017?

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, the flagship reinvented

    Absolutely ridiculous how much of a power hog these newer GPU's are.

    New build - undecided between B450 & B550

    Nothing's been announced as yet, there are certain refreshes of the B550 boards, but they'll likely be BIOS upgrades and ironing out some of the issues from the previous revisions. In anycase you've got a justifiable (BIG) upgrade path here over the 4690K. It's probably an easy decision for any...

    New build - undecided between B450 & B550

    Yep, if you want PCIE 4.0 if narrows you down to x570 and B550. The Gigabyte B550i is the pick of the bunch, plus if you're going to OC it handles temps much better.

    New build - undecided between B450 & B550

    Not sure if you made your decision, but i'll chime in. Better VRM's (Most important if going 8< cores) Better wireless support Built in I/O shield 2x HDMI 2.1 Support for higher RAM frequencies 2.5GbE 2x m.2 slots PCIe 4.0 The B550i is Ryzen 3000 ready, you'll need a BIOS update for the...

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    Awful launch from AMD. You can pick up a 3900 non-x for £325, which means the 5900x is about 25% more powerful (give or take) at a 70% higher premium. I get it, they're in a position where they can now take the **** similar to what Intel did, but to be doing it now is a major kick in the...

    AMD Zen3 event thread

    5600x can't £300 here surely? If it's a £50 increase it's £250, which puts it at the same price point as a 3700x, they've been fluctuating around that price for the past few months. I've seen a 3900 for £325, i'll likely go with that as my patience has worn very thin with AMD on this. The delay...

    AMD Zen3 event thread

    So why not ignore the 5800x, then see what Intel do, and if needs be go and release with 5800x with 10 cores. All a bit weird from AMD. The launch has made Zen 2 more appealing to me.

    AMD Zen3 event thread

    There's a cooler included for the 5600x Disappointing prices all round. Getting a 3900 for £300~ seems all the more tempting now.

    Buying older Ryzen CPUs around 8th October

    Hopefully there's a 12 core variant we can buy like the 3900. I don't care about the boost clocks on it, keeping 12 cores inside a 65w envelope would be perfect for those of us with smaller builds. The Renoir CPU's still aren't available either,, and both B550 and A520 took an eternity to get...

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

    Surprised people are that desperate they can't wait another month to see how AMD scared Nvidia so bad. These launch prices most certainly weren't from their own good grace. Be sensible, if AMD really do rock the boat you'll soon see a 3070ti/3080ti hit the shelf, and it'll make you instantly...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Potential 10 core parts? https://www.techpowerup.com/271885/amd-4th-gen-ryzen-vermeer-zen-3-rumored-to-include-10-core-parts If they release a 5600x 8 core part @ £200 i'll be all over that.

    New system advice SFF and quiet

    Are the Renoir chips even available outside OEM builds? By the time they come to market Zen 3 will likely have been announced. It's been a pretty rubbish release from AMD.

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Hope we get some news from AMD soon, I need a new PC and i've been so close to pulling the trigger on a new chip lately, the price gouging has stopped me luckily.

    Is the RTX 3090 a rip off for £1,400?

    All their RTX cards are a rip off. Even the 3080, they've priced their mid-range tiers to higher ones over the past couple generations. A GTX 970 back in 2014(?) cost £250~, a 980 was £430~. Two years later an GTX 1070 cost 980 money and a 1080 cost 980ti money. The 2070/2080 maintained that...
