    Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX Bios setting?

    Hi Tetras, thanks for taking the time to give a detailed reply. Pics of the bios: The Turbo power limits I changed to Intel POR and seems like it now pulls back the clocks when it exceeds 65w, as expected. But I can't change the GB PerfDrive in either easy or advanced mode...

    Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX Bios setting?

    But it does appear there is a bios boost of some sort in place, TBH all I want to be able to do is set it to default !

    Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX Bios setting?

    Hi I recently built a system with this motherboard, when stress testing with intelburntest I noticed the power draw from the cpu is in excess of the 65w rated for the i5 12400f. I assumed ths may be due to a bios boost feature. The only thing I can see that looks a likely suspect is a Gigabyte...

    Budget gaming build - critique/suggestions on choices please :)

    Thank you guys. Yes, if the Ram is still available at that price when I get to order, seems 32gb is certainly worth doing :) @Quartz Not sure of the AM5 route due to A: increased costs for Motherboard and Ram and B: I already have reservations using AMD CPU's due to heat. I think the increased...

    Budget gaming build - critique/suggestions on choices please :)

    Its been a minute since I last delved into pc hardware, but have been tasked with a new build for a £750 budget to replace the 8 year old PC I last built for him. So we are looking at a 1080p focused system, and as much bang for buck we can get. I have been looking at: AMD R5 5600X 2x 8GB DDR 4...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Canceled BB a while back and went to Trooli. At the same time I dropped the sports packages. As soon as I can get hold of a Manhattan FV Recorder, the rest of Sky TV is going. Paying £9.99 in this day and age for HD is scandalous, as is the price of basic tv package even on a discounted rate...

I have 5 done but the last 2 keep giving me a message "primary calibration is not responding", I even tried switching timelines and still the...

    Powerline adaptors, can you limit speed ?

    Yeah TP link, TBH they always seemed pretty reasonable speeds at the Kids console end when I had FTCC, not tried them on the FTTP as it was only installed a few days ago !

    Powerline adaptors, can you limit speed ?

    That wouldn't work for consoles though ? I have found a network router that looks like it has those settings, so I'll see how that turns out :p

    Powerline adaptors, can you limit speed ?

    Thanks guys, just wanted to cap the speed to the kids to 100 mb each so no one of them hurts the others or me too much if they have a big download going on :p I can sort of do do that only allowing them a 2.4ghz wifi connection but a hardwired one for the console/pc would be better even with a...

    Virgin Mobile free this month ?

    Hi I just received my Virgin Mobile bills to a surprise amount of nil beer vouchers. Presuming its something to do with the merger /swap to O2, but I didn't expect a free month, I presume everyone else on VM got the same ?

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    Yes PP, waiting time ... as long as it takes for them to sort out paperwork :D I am the guinea pig - their first sale since Cupra decided they don't have "dealers" but Agents ... read: now you cant negotiate, the price is the price :rolleyes: But "my" car is physically available now.

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    58KW, 2 problems with the larger battery: 1. Larger battery currently only available as a 4 seater, I have 3 kids, granted one is 19, but he might occasionally like to go somewhere with us, and I couldn't get over "losing" a seat :p 2: 40 weeks plus wait for factory orders , and local dealers...

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    Calm down folks :p I asked for opinions, I got opinions some more based in experience than others, but its all good. FWIW I know full well buying any new car isn't financially sound, but life is too short, an indulgence when you can afford it, can't go amiss :D As I the wife has a small ice...

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    On the odd occasion I need to go longer, its usually family hols and in that instance I would likely look at option b :) If a very rare solo longer trip, I can nab the wifes car. How are you liking the Born ? Is that in winter temps too ? TBH in terms of contention for EV ownership, this is...

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    Yes,TBH thats why I am posting. I am weighing up all the pros and cons and thoughts/input from RL EV owners (not journos) will help me with the decision. For me the pence per mile equation works well in favour of EV even with the current electricity costs, but making the leap still has me in a...

    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    Octopus Go wouldnt work for me as the day rate is pricey when I checked the postcode and only 4 hours of cheap rate, albeit half the price of the cheap rate my current supplier does. Even the cheap rate tarrif from my supplier is a bit hit and miss, with 3 kids my standard rate increased cost...
