Definitely a place to avoid. I've only just got my money back (over £40) by claiming through Paypal, a month later. They supplied a game key already redeemed and expected me to somehow prove when it had been redeemed by my contacting Microsoft. Their T&Cs clearly state they would check they...

If they can be replaced, that probably allays most of the minor concern. Thanks

I think I am concerned more about failure risk in a slightly longer term. I run my kit for some time, beyond what I would expect from any warranty period. My current i7 5820k has served me well since 2015 and it's only now that I'm looking at upgrade as something is failing the motherboard that...

To slightly hijack this thread, how reliable are these coolant fans? I'm in a similar boat to the OP working out whether the X570 MB's are what I want. Seems to me that any tiny fan must be a failure point. Are they replaceable? Wouldn't want to condemn a £200+ motherboard for the sake of...

So now we know who is buying those Nvidia GPU's at extortionate prices ;)

From the pics and specs I can't see how or if you can fit a DVD/Bluray drive, or even as an alternative a memory card reader into the case. Indeed looking at many of the cases currently available, many have dropped that provision. One of the attractions of a desktop PC is not having to have...

I wonder how this will turn out :D Meanwhile, having had the Noblechair Epic full leather for a couple of years (previous black Friday do) I can confirm these really are Epic. It remains firm but comfortable, and negligible signs of wear. I'd perhaps buy the Hero today just for the added...

Be interesting to know how robust these are. For a while in my office we've had plain translucent plasticy carpet protector mats under our chairs. Sooner or later under my 18st bulk the things start to crack, splinter or split.

So now I need one of these which would be a better fit especially with the integral lumbar support instead of the Epic Leather. Do you do trade in :D

When you see these things in the flesh, and for the buyer who simply wants the best, there is no doubt they would be drooled over. Bit surprised that only the 12 core CPU was used. No doubt that is more than sufficient to power the pair of GPUs, but if a flagship system like this doesn't...

Well that just wasn't nice. :p Not sure what's more upsetting - getting stomped without knowing (wondered why I need to keep seeing a physio 'cos my backside hurts) :eek:, or simply being called a slacker (on the other hand that cap fits quite well :o )

I have no idea about Linux. What you are trying to do at least sounds like an interesting challenge but I do wonder if the Pi will have sufficient grunt to achieve much of a result. It would be worth looking at the basic BOINC wiki pages. Amongst all the add on programmes for BOINC they don't...

But I think we all know who looks best with it ;)

I must stop reading these forums. That way I wouldn't be tempted to buy things I could manage without :p

Unfortunately the few who were active last year now are very silent (including myself), even in the secret squirrel place. I don't know if last year's Formula Boinc took too much out of us. Perhaps people were sidetracked into mining. But it is so quiet. It is motiviation from noise within...

It isn't the price that would stop me buying. After all people have been spending a grand plus on top end graphics cards or multi cored performance CPUs, which they would upgrade as the next generation thing comes out. But the chair shouldn't need the upgrade, having many many years of life...

Got the Compucleaner original as it was on a today only a few days ago. :) Rather than the free Haribo (for which I will never turn up my nose, even though my waistline doesn't appreciate it), a free face dust mask would have been more appropriate. The absolute clouds of urggh that went...

OcUK aren't working you hard enough if you have time to kick back :p I baulk at paying £20 for a pair of shoes. Somehow I fear my feet will remain planted to the floor. But if I were to move my Noblechair to the living room to create a nice "home cinema" effect ....

That sucks Biffa :(

I think this is more a reference to the complete lack of posts this year so far, when a select few were so vociferous last year cajoling everyone to new heights in Formula Boinc amongst other stuff. This year has started off with little more than a whimper. Perhaps that we moved to league 1 in...
