    Ryzen 5 3600, 95c while gaming.

    I’ll have a check when I get up tomorrow then, it all looks good so I dunno. Overclockers put it together so I wouldn’t think they’d miss something. But hey I guess it could’ve happened.

    Ryzen 5 3600, 95c while gaming.

    this makes me hopeful then I just don’t trust myself putting a new cpu cooler on, and that’s why I asked if anybody lived around stoke and wanted to (I could probs next day a cooler to me, then pay somebody to fit) haha. I don’t wanna wait a month and then take to Overclockers since by then I’d...

    Ryzen 5 3600, 95c while gaming.

    Hey guys, I recently posted asking about a build for a new PC and when I was happy I went ahead and bought. (I had no need to OC and just went with the stock cooler) I’ve been running my PC now for a week or two, and during games I always hit 95c for the entirety of the time playing (Mostly...

    Headsets for Big heads?

    Ah I didn't see your comment, I also have a big head and wear glasses - the GSP 300s are fine for me and don't feel like my head is being squished like a watermelon with 500 elastic bands! :) I'll look at those ones if/when my new ones break though!

    Ordered New PC - Advice for selling my old one? (delete if not allowed) :)

    Haha yeah I get you, I'm just moving into a smaller flat and don't have as much storage space - so I'm looking to be minimalistic basically, selling off or giving away most of my old stuff - just don't want it in storage anymore collecting dust. I paid for my new one already though just waiting...

    Ordered New PC - Advice for selling my old one? (delete if not allowed) :)

    Yeah I’ll give it a good clean and fully format everything before selling anyways £300 sounds good to me anyways, better than just letting it sit in a corner haha. I don’t really wanna take everything apart though for the other option, but I guess I’ll consider it when cleaning.

    Headsets for Big heads?

    I ended up going with the Sennheiser GSP 300. Fits my big head perfectly, mic seems to work fine when in parties & sounds are good. Very flexible too, so should last me a year or so with heavy use, then I can just simply purchase another! :) Thanks for the suggestions though guys! I checked out...

    Ordered New PC - Advice for selling my old one? (delete if not allowed) :)

    Hey guys, I just made my purchase with Overclockers for my new system so I'm looking to get rid of my current one (I'll probably just put it on eBay/Facebook Marketplace, I'm not desparately in need of selling - just won't be used otherwise). Is this worth selling? And how much do you think...

    Did I double my RAM or set it correctly?

    yeah my games required a lot of faffing around to run nicely and now it seems to be pretty good. I don’t do anything else on it other than game and watch stuff anyway. Had no issues still and it’s been a few days. And possible that an update or something messed it up, or it could’ve been set...

    Did I double my RAM or set it correctly?

    ahh okay, so the rate in my bios was for both combined. But how come my memory in task manager showed 800mhz but now shows 1866mhz? Shouldn’t it have shown 933mhz? edit; also thanks anyways! I’ve been running it all day and it’s been perfectly fine anyways and my game is even up to the 80/90...

    Did I double my RAM or set it correctly?

    So it was originally set to half then, so I’ve fixed it but upped it slightly?

    Did I double my RAM or set it correctly?

    In Task Manager > Performance > Memory my RAM Speed was showing 800Mhz. (Hyper X Fury Dual DDR3 1600 2x8GB) I now figure this meant 800Mhz (single stick) so 1600 for both? But in my BIOS I set my RAM to 1866. (don't know if that's for both, or single stick) and now my PC runs noticably better...

    What should I buy?

    Haha, yeah that's fair I guess. Never thought to ask if they do discounts and the like! =P

    What should I buy?

    Yeah that's why I was looking now really, so if I did buy it'd probably be here for just as I move in, I'm not entirely desperate but for newer games my current rig just isn't cutting it anymore, without changing all the settings massively. Gets a tad annoying sometimes! So wanna make sure I'm...

    What should I buy?

    Hmm, I could wait for awhile or buy the card elsewhere and try my hand at putting it in myself.. but then I dunno. I like the fact that it'll all be set up, and all I'll have to do is install windows. I will consider your options though and might upgrade the GPU - I like that the cost is pretty...

    What should I buy?

    Didn't realise I could put parts together and then ask them for a quote to build - this is what I ended up with. Good choices or anything you'd change? :) My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core 4.2GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £188.99 1 x Patriot Viper Steel 16GB...

    Headsets for Big heads?

    Probably just gaming really, footsteps and such would be ideal. The ones I’ve bought were like turtle beaches and trittons over the years since those specific ones did fit me (for awhile until the cheap plastic always breaks haha) I guess I’ll start off with just a separate mic and earbuds for...

    What should I buy?

    Is there an option at the checkout for them to build it for you? I wouldn’t trust myself, I got big clunky hands and always break things haha. But those options seem good. Maybe I’ll just wait a little longer, or finance an extra couple hundred since with a deposit of like 1k since I won’t be...

    Headsets for Big heads?

    I’ve been stuck on headsets for years - I never trust buying expensive ones online because all the cheap ones I’ve bought over the years never seem to fit, and I never wanted the hassle of sending them back. I’ve considered just getting a mic for my desk and wearing earbuds - or do you guys have...

    Anyone with big hands help me choose a gaming mouse?

    Logitech G703. I didn’t trust wireless much before buying and thought it’d hinder my gameplay, but I kept getting my wire caught on things and it just generally annoyed me (I use a lot of the mousepad) but honestly I feel like after buying it I got loads better at aiming and just reacting...
