Oh, so good news then? It's a 4g mast with potential for 5g once it's rolled to our area?

Hi I'm looking to buy a rural house where the 4g and mobile phone signal isn't great. There looks like there may be a mast in a field nearby, approx 500m away, if thats the case I'll look at 4g broadband with an external aerial. How do I identify what the mast is and whether it's a 4g mast or...

Sorry, I selected wrong motherboard, it should be the Gigabyte board, https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-b650m-ds3h-socket-am5-ddr5-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-5bh-gi.html I've seen where the cooler is he mentioned, so yeah may get that instead. I'm looking at wanting it up and running for...

So, reading back through advice here, I'm going to go with this. Planning to buy asap as some stuff is on offer and I doubt prices will change much in my favour if I wait around. Some have suggested Kolink cases aren't good, does that apply to their coolers too? My basket at OcUK: 1 x AMD...

Are they good coolers for socket AM5?

Will do, cheers. Got a good starting point now though so will comeback in a couple weeks and do just that.

Cheers. Sorry didn't realise Kolink were a dog crap brand, I'm very out of touch with technology these days. I'll swap the PSU with something better, same with case and £30 extra for the Powercolor 6700xt seems a better choice. I'm looking at end of Feb to be buying, no doubt prices will all...

Yep, I'll go for the Ryzen 7 7700x, thanks. A little over budget, but I suspect my budget was unrealistic to start with.. My basket at OcUK: 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6K1-AS) = £219.95 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Eight Core 5.40GHz (Socket AM5)...

Thanks for replies. Thinking about it longevity is a factor too, as I won't want to upgrade for a long time, so going for the later AM5 stuff and spending the extra is probably best option.

Hi Looking to upgrade my somewhat ageing Core2Duo system and get back into gaming a little, what with Stalker 2 on the horizon. Existing case is suitable, peripherals all ok, have 1tb ssd and I'm hoping PSU will suffice too (SuperFlower 80plus Bronze 550w). I just need the big 4 as it were...

Ok thanks, will stick with 1333.

Ok thanks, might grab an 8gb stick to put in. Should I stick with 1333, or ok to go 1600mhz? Thanks for the help all, much appreciated.

I would, but it has 120gb SSD drive already. Acer website says 6gb is max, Crucial says 10? Fair to assume Acer is correct?

Oh ok, sorry didn't realise such a thing existed. Asus specs state 6gb is max for this model. Presumably that includes the 2gb onboard?

Sorry, just run cpu-z, that's saying 6gb installed. Am I missing something on the ram stick, I'm sure it says 4gb?

Hi, Looking to upgrade my wife's laptop for her to extend its life a little. It's an Acer Aspire M3 - 581T. I know you can't usually upgrade CPUs on laptops, so only real option is ram. Looked inside, it has a single 4gb stick, however Win10 system info is saying it has 6gb installed (5.84...

Yeah, not easy to diagnose remotely. If it was faulty psu, memory etc then shouldn't the fault reoccur much more regularly? Was planning an upgrade but circumstances have just changed so cash diverted elsewhere, sticking with this system until next summer, so looks like another OS reinstall. I...

SSD is about a year old or less, I would hope not. The HDD backup drive maybe 2 years old, both WD drives.

Hi Yet again Win10 told me it needs to shut down due to an error, startup repair failed to find it fix anything. Can't start windows, automatic repair does nothing, none of the advanced options work. Just prior to this happening I'd swapped GPU, took out an old amd card, put in a gtx 750...

Yep, was on an auction site at a bay. Seller claimed it was working ok when he removed it, he's refunded me so no worries there. Seller had good feedback. To be honest I don't think he was up to no good, it may have been working when he removed it, but it certainly wasn't when I fitted it, I've...
