    Kolink Observatory Lite questions

    So I'm looking for a case at the minute, with a bit of a constrained budget as I've already gonna bit past my planned spending with the rest of my stuff lol. I've been looking at the Kolink Observatory Lite, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding any thoughts/reviews on it. So, if anyone has...

    *** Nintendo Switch ***

    Ive been having an issue with the screen on my Switch, but I'm not really sure what the problem is. I have a small purple cloud or smudge on the screen, its not super noticable unless the screen is displaying black/dark colours, and is pretty much not visible on white/brighter screens. Its also...

    Ive noticed that since Ive installed my 480, the motherboard splash screen is all messed up, entire blue screen with like pink and green artifacting in places. System still boots without an issue and things are running smoothly, so I've no clue what thats about!

    Mines settling in nicely, haven't touched much other than No Mans Sky since I got it though. Tried to run some other games for reference sake tonight and was met with crashes by the time I reached menu screens, Witcher 3, MGSV, and Dark Souls 3. Noticed an odd loading like symbol in the top left...

    Delivery driver called me, he was making a stop nearby and wanted to let me know if I wanted to come meet him to pick it up. I cant remember the last time I ran that fast, he must have thought I was a right eejit. But I finally have it! Woo yeah

    Just received a message from DPD saying they attempted to deliver but no one was home. Their way of saying "sorry, we were supposed to deliver it today, but couldnt quite manage it", because Ive been sitting here all day waiting for it. Why am I more impatient now that its practically on my...

    I think Ill jump on the 470 if theres no word on the 480s by the end of the week. Im being tempter by 1060s but I just dont thing it's gonna suit my needs being on a budget in the long run. Many plans for expensive things in the next few months, and as a couple the fidelity of video game visuals...

    I've heard nothing but fantastic things about adaptive sync in general. Nvidia cards coupled with gsync prices are practically insane to me though. Coming off my current 21.5" 1080p monitor, a nice freesync 21:9 will be like christmas for me. Well, it might well actually be christmas for me...

    SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

    Yeah I think the 4GB cards showed up in similar numbers early on, but the demand for the 8gb pre-orders were huge so the wait was much longer. I have not reason for ordering the 8GB beyond potential future proofing, I don't plan on updating my card for another few years at least. Hell, the only...

    Yeesh, the Sapphire reference card is currently higher than what I paid for my Nitro pre-order. I guess if things don't look up by next week Im ordering a 1060.

    If AMD have gotten their act together and given sapphire a decent amount of cards to ship your wait mightnt be massive. I'd imagine a lot of the pre-orders were early rather than late, and it looks like quite a few people who have cancelled orders because of the wait. You could always drop a...

    ***21.9 Ultrawide Thread***

    I've never been one to go all in on screens, but I havent updated my monitor in about 6 years, it's a pretty bog standard 21.5" HP monitor that I bought when I first built my system. I have my heart set on 21:9 now, and I've pretty much settled on an LG 29UM68 down to the price and Freesync. Are...

    As far as I can tell it's just the sticker on the fan :p I had originally ordered a Sapphire reference card on release, but my order was delayed due to one of my items (an hdmi - dvi adapter) not being in stock. So I cancelled my order and held out for the Nitro. I didn't really expect to be...

    ahhhh the temptation to cancel and order a reference card is getting stronger the closer I get to No Mans Sky. I've waited this long, so I gotta try hold out. I really hope cards start arriving to people by like, the 17th-ish. I dont want half my holidays to be wasted not playing video games :D

    An e-mail or two keeping people up to date couldn't hurt I guess. I joined the forumsjust for this thread, and I'd still be waiting on my card with no clue of whats been going on if I hadnt been watching this like hawk for the past month :p Giving the reference a head start was one thing...

    I was really hoping Id have mine by the end of next week so I could have it up and running for my 2 weeks holidays. It's a bit of a pain waiting nearly a month from the original ETA, but people lashing out at OcUK, it's not like they have any control over when the cards get here, they can only...

    The devil is now interesing me greatly. but theres no way I'd fit the 3 fans in my case. Im planning on using the Nitro, when I get it, as an excuse to re-cable my setup. I've never been one for cable management, but I've never bought a good card on release before :D
