    replace trash induction with gas hob in this space - possible?

    ah right, i'll start to look at more specific manufacturer specs then - i have a few gas hobs in mind so i'll pull the PDFs for them all and check, Thanks. There's not a lot to go off but it's a Beko QHI64 and says 'HOB TOTAL LOAD 7.2kW' I looked up the model number and there are some terrible...

    replace trash induction with gas hob in this space - possible?

    hey, thanks for your reply. seems like everything here is wrong then - I'm already just thinking of drawing up my ideal kitchen from scratch instead and saving whatever I would have spent on the gas gob, fitting and moving the electrics; putting up with this for as long as I can. we used to...

    replace trash induction with gas hob in this space - possible?

    hey guys, This induction hob is making my life a misery and I need a gas one. It's gonna be a while before I can fit a new kitchen with a gas hob & layout i'd prefer; so I'm sort of stuck with retro-fitting a gas hob into this space for now. I've never thought it was possible until I asked a...

    EKWB Quantum Kinetic DDC pumps – Are they terrible or am I just unlucky?

    I have this exact issue with an EK DDC 3.2 'Elite' pump. Not only has it never sounded right at any RPM, with full send actually being the quietest - it's now got the same cold start fault as OP. occasionally it will start but if not I have to hit it gently with a rubber handle of a screwdriver...

    Low maintenance driveway options

    tarmac may be your best low maintenance option that's budget friendly and will last. Resin is very low maintenance but is very costly. I'd like to know more about problems with it cracking though as I'm looking at it too and the guys who's been round flogging it will tell you anything. There's...

    Who's got the oldest PSU?

    2006 PC power & Cooling silencer 750W here... Engineering sample at that. A true specimen of the past. Until just yesterday which is why I’m now browsing the PSU sub :D it still works it just drank a little too much so I’m going to replace it finally. distinct lack of Hiper Type R’s here...

    is a legacy PSU causing this squeal / crickets?

    oh yikes, that's not good - I didn't realize a lot of that. I'd usually get hung-up on overspending for workstation spec stuff for a gaming rig but this is the only time where i've bought budget stuff purely for gaming. I definitely didn't buy it because of the brand, hype etc; I've no loyalty...

    Why is it never easy?

    has it reset again since? is it the first time your machine has been completely powered down and unplugged? is it an old motherboard? what i'm hinting at is - is it the CMOS battery on the motherboard? time of day resetting is sometimes indicative of this too. the only other thing I can think of...

    is a legacy PSU causing this squeal / crickets?

    Thanks for the reply, this might get complicated then! tonight i will stick my head in there when it's running and find the bit that's actually buzzing. I used to be pretty conscious of component noise back in 2010 and remembered which boards at the time were bad / good for it - it's a thing...

    is a legacy PSU causing this squeal / crickets?

    hey guys so my machine had a circa 2010 setup for ages. i7 2600K, GTX680(bit newer), P8P67 pro, and my power supply was a PC power & cooling silencer 750w. everything was water-cooled. It had a reasonable coil squeal/cricket on speed noise but nothing really noticeable. I'd say it got worse at...

    1 year after my first loop... advice please :)

    Wow really? I’m going to jinx myself here I’m sure but I’ve never had a system spring a leak ever. you’re lucky that the fluid you used remained none conductive and did it’s job. The closest I had once was a faulty gpu block that leaked but never had a leak develop where there wasn’t one. I...

    1 year after my first loop... advice please :)

    I feel like a right awld fella here - but just simple deionised water, a few drops of iodine, and a bit of half decent anti-freeze and that will last many years without going off. Add some dye but that will eventually build up residue on the walls of the tubing. I’d never buy these bottled...

    *** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

    I ended up cleaning then lightly greasing all of my ends (giggity) and they’ve all been great. Made a big difference. I just used standard lithium grease but something else might be more suitable. Obviously don’t just glob it on!

    My dog

    A few have mentioned already - but try raw meat... Our greyhound eats around 1200g of raw meat with bones per day, and it's done wonders for him since ditching the kibble & tinned tripe he was eating when we got him. he gets a mixture of stuff everyday with a little bit of coconut oil, and...

    Ants - Fighting a losing battle?

    what white stuff? when I had ants outside I did a load of research and it seems like for every good ant powder / killer there's 10 bad ones. Nippon kept coming up as a brand that worked again and again. I think I told someone on here to use it and it worked for them too. I used nippon gel and...

    Running network, type of cable?

    I'm doing this at the moment and I'm running cat6. cat5e would have been fine; but since it's such a hassle I went with cat6 for futureproofing (I do have a home network / centralised storage now so for me personally it's more likely that I will use the benefits of cat6 over cat5e. just weigh...

    What car is this?

    There were loads of coach builders back in the day which did custom bodywork; maybe a pet-project of a coachbuilder? if it cannot be identified as something from production, then it must be custom, no?
