I just opened a ticket to OCUK to request a cancellation for my preorder. Annoyingly I will not be about for a few weeks so unless the screen was sent yesterday I likely would not have been around to accept it. May end up going for the Alienware / LG C2 if these are still out of stock everywhere...

1: WoW up to and including Wrath of the Lich King - Stopped caring about the game after that, I would say though that WoW was the best game I've played. 2: Joint Operations Typhoon Rising - Was easily one of my favourite games back in the day, spent a lot of time playing this and its expansion...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like that i5 should have a little more life left in it yet then. If the 8GB turns out not to be enough I can probably pick up some DDR3 somewhere to make it up to 16GB.

Hello all, Quick question; is an i5 4670K @4.3GHz and 8GB of RAM still good enough to drive a Rift? Wanting to make a cheap mATX system for VR and have those parts lying around spare. I'm thinking of buying a GPU (RTX2060) and getting that machine up and running but unsure if I should save a...

Doubt this will be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm looking forward to Project Hospital! http://oxymoron.games/projecthospital/ It mentions a lot about curing nostalgia and being a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital which I feel is a bit of a mistake on their part. It looks like they're going...

There is something up with BF1's performance ever since the patch that introduced Nivelle nights was released. I went from 90-70fps with my GTX980 and i7 4770k to 90-40fps after the June patch. I've noticed a few others complaining of similar performance issues on the Battlefield forums so it...

I must admit, I too have felt a little unenthusiastic about current PC tech. Back when I first got into computers, there was always something new and significantly better just around the corner. These days, meaningful upgrades take longer and longer to come around. The flip side to that is ever...

For me the mouse needs to be good at 400 and 800DPI, needs to be a comfortable shape for palm grip, needs to be lightweight, preferably not covered in lighting and lastly if it's wired, not with a braided cable.

Really torn between a few periods! I think one of the big ones for me though was the first PC I'd assembled myself: A socket 423 Pentium 4 1.7GHz, Intel 850 chipset MSI motherboard, either 1GB or 512mb of RD RAM (I cannot quite remember now!), and a Leadtek GeForce 4 ti 4200 all housed in that...

I have two at home, an Antex 25w plug in iron that I bought back in my college days (still use it for certain jobs) and a Hakko Fx888d soldering station. I do a lot of soldering, both through hole and SMD and I like to think I'm fairly good at it! I Learned soldering when I was a kid by building...

Cheers for the replies, think I'm going to go with the G403 then, seems to be a decent shape and has the thumb buttons I'm after! Same here! (well, with a side button added)

Hello all, Recently found my old WMO 1.1a from years past, plugged it in and decided to give it a go and was shocked just how much I love the shape and overall feel of this old mouse. I'm wondering if anyone out there can recommend a more modern mouse that is similar in shape and feel to the...

It's worth whipping the cooler off and changing the thermal paste, it could be that it has dried up completely and isn't allowing for efficient heat transfer between the die and heatsink. It would cause it to behave in the exact same way you're describing if it has dried up and become useless...

I'll consider one if the price & performance is right, so far my i5 4670K is is doing everything I need it to do though. I'd probably be looking at the 4c8t part if I did buy a Ryzen setup, the 6c and above processors would largely be wasted on me!

Hello all, A few years back I was involved in an accident that left me with a broken wrist. I’ve started having major issues when using the computer which is leaving my wrist in considerable pain even after short periods of usage! I’ve been looking at changing my mouse to an ergonomic mouse...

Whenever I've had issues like this it has often turned out to be a memory problem. I'd suggest looking around to see if anyone else is having issues with the same motherboard memory combo. I'd then suggest running just a single stick of RAM (try however many sticks you have) and running Memtest...

I've bought a fair few used PC parts on there and never really had an issue at all. Just remember not to get too carried away and end up bidding over what an item is worth!

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a possible fix? What's happening is I've enabled the instant replay feature on shadowplay so that I can alt-F10 to record the last 15 minutes of game footage. I have it setup to record 15 minutes of footage with the temp file...

I see what you're saying about the title! My contribution to the thread was more of a worry I'd gotten a bit too overexcited about a game and may have overhyped it to myself :p. I'm still going to get the game and I'm sure I will enjoy it, I'm not going out of my way to not enjoy it haha.

Of course there are worse things that can happen in the world, it's just a light hearted discussion about games that might not live up to the hype. Come on, all of us are guilty of over hyping a game and secretly being a bit let down surely? :p
