    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Is there a website for comparing solar micro generators? I’ms sure I saw it on these forums a few years ago. Basically domestic and small micro generators uploaded their location and power generation. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Anyone here know what I mean?

    Upgrading from iPhone 7 Plus & can't decide

    OK, so the Sony Xperia 5ii and One Plus 8 Pro are both within a whisker of each other price wise. I can't decide. Coming from the iPhone 7 Plus, is the 5-6mm narrower Xperia going to feel way to narrow? Is the Aspect ratio hard to get used to?

If I hold down the power button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously I occasionally get a...

    i7 8700K it running at 3.7Ghz

    Interesting... XMP (and Game Boost) is disabled in the BIOS and when enabled it won't POST. It hangs and sends me back to the BIOS to make changes. When disabled it boots fine. Do I need to make other changes when XMP is enabled.... Sorry it's been a while since my OC'ing days...

    i7 8700K it running at 3.7Ghz

    I've got the CPU above in a relatively new build with good components. It used to run at the full 4.7Ghz when under load but I noticed today that it wasn't. The PC runs absolutely fine and hasn't ever crashed. Best place to start troubleshooting? Cheers

    Changing from a BT Superhub- any speed difference?

    I'm on a 52Mb BT fibre connection and I used to get the max 72/20 down/up speeds before I renewed the package. They sent out a new Superhub when I said the speeds had dropped and they'd confirmed (they did a few line tests) my uploaded was capable of 20Mb. But even with the new hub it is still...

    I've got an old 2700k system which won't start up today. It worked fine over the weekend. Lights on the board are on, PSU (EVGA 750W) clicks on for a second, fans spin up, then it goes off. I'll try another PSU in the morning but wonder what the tell tale signs of a PSU on the way out? Also...

Anyway, storage wise I'm thinking of using a fast NVME M.2 drive for OS and applications and possibly my Lightroom catalogues. The main images would be on a fast conventional HGST drive and working...

    Old skool Swiftech Apogee GT Extreme - compatible with AM4 or S1151?

    Yeah, its a really old block but worked great and seems a shame not to try and continue using it. If I can mod the mounting holes then that could work!
