Just a quick update. I went and purchased a new router, Netgear R7000, and it seems to have solved the issue. It looks like the poor old bog-standard Plusnet one had given up the ghost. I'm also getting 75 Mbps down and 18 Mbps up throughout the house on Wi-Fi now even in places where the...

Same result.

I haven't done that, will do now. I also lose the ability to even Ping google though.. So doubt it's browser specific.

Just finished a new build (yay!) but I've got a really strange issue whereby I cannot seem to use the internet at all when I'm downloading. It doesn't appear to effect any other machines on the network (e.g. phones, iPad's, MacBook's etc still have internet) but when I download a game via Steam...

Yeah I know. I've used PC Part Picker and kept a very good eye on pricing/trends for all the parts of my new build.:) Feels like I'm trading in stocks at some points, just waiting for a good price before I buy but sometimes I wait too long and it ends up going up in price :o

They're available now. Have been since around 5PM. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/motherboards/intel/lga-1151-z270-chipset

Yeah good point tbh. I've had a 512GB 960 Pro on back order since before Christmas... managed to bag it for £249 on amazon (direct from them) but waiting for stock is getting to be a bit of a joke.

The only thing that stopped me getting one was the second M.2 drive... Why the heck does it go at a 90-degree angle to the board (outwards). Is this supposed to give better heat dissipation or something?

Was looking at the Maximus IX Code https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-rog-maximus-ix-code-intel-z270-socket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-68n-as.html Why the heck does one of the M.2 drives go at a 90-degree angle to the board (outwards). Is this supposed to give better heat dissipation?

so the launch of Kaby Lake is supposedly today... reviews are out with pricing guides... but when is it going on sale?

Firmly sitting on the fence until impartial third party benchmarks and pricing is released. Honestly, how often do we have to jump aboard the hype train before launch only to find out that things aren't as well as a press conference suggested before we start being a bit more sensible? I'm...

Had my case for a little while now, but my full build won't be taking place until Jan/Feb next year. I'll be sure to post some pics once it's up and running. So far I have the Corsair 460x RGB and Acer Predator X34 monitor and a Samsung 960 Pro 512GB... I think if I treat myself any more the...

I've been tempted by this for a long time, but honestly the fact that the QC is still hit and miss is pretty worrying. I realise that I can ship it back if need be, or whatever, but that's such a massive pain in the ass to deal with.

Yeah I'm in a similar situation. This case is for a new build so it's not a major issue if it's delayed for me I guess but still annoying as Hell. I had no idea the 570x even existed until reviews started popping up yesterday, it wasn't even advertised on the Corsair website when I originally...

Hardware Canucks Review. Tech Power Up review: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/Crystal_Series_460X_RGB/

Do you know if there's a review NDA on these? And when it may be lifted? I've been following this since it was originally announced and considering it's one of Corsair's flagship cases there's literally no news on it at all.

You're correct mate. The RGB version has the extra controls on top as well as including the RGB fans. The non RGB model does not have these.

Such a shame that Noble still can't sort out their QA issues. Hopefully this is an isolated incident.

Spoke to the guys at OcUK yesterday. They don't have a 100% solid ETA yet, but as with competitors are saying they should be expecting it around the 14th. Bit weird that they don't have the ETA yet but at least we know it's coming I guess!

The fact that it's built on Chromium and they plan on charging for it puts me off instantly.
