    Steam prices! Grey key sites! and the I love/hate developers thread - Enter if you dare!

    Is this the new strategy by the entertainment industry? Disseminated here by paid industry plants? :) First it was guilt tripping pirates (potentially with good reason - but thats a, seperate, complex argument). Now it's guilt tripping paying customers that they're not paying *enough* for the...

    *** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

    Great game. The thing not mentioned so far is the nemesis system which sets it apart from any other game of a similar type. It's worth playing just for that mechanic. I don't like the Lord of the rings in general but had a great time playing it through. For the price it's a no brainer.

    OC UK Policy on PSU Coil Whine ?

    Having the same with a corsair rm1000i and a 980ti. Definitely the PSU. Like you I'm not sure whether to live with it or roll the dice on a replacement. It's not overly audible whilst gaming but, as you've said, this is a chunk of money so you don't expect this sort of issue. I think it's...

    ** POTENTIALLY THE BEST GAMING MONITORS YET!! ** Acer 34" Ultra-wides

    Desperately want this to be great. This isn't the best of starts :(

    ** AMD R9 NANO NOW IN STOCK & AVAILABLE!! **

    Ouch. I'm surprised this is on par / higher than the fury x pricing. Amd must be hoping the premium for the form factor is worth it to people. Not sure it is?

    Laptop style keyboard

    Death stalker as above. Apple aluminium keyboard if you can handle the key layout and mapping issues. You could also look for Keysonic KSK-8021U which is a cheaper Apple clone with a full pc layout. My apple aluminium just failed so I'm in the market too and it's down to the two alternatives...

    ** POTENTIALLY THE BEST GAMING MONITORS YET!! ** Acer 34" Ultra-wides

    :D:D One of these. Or a 28" 4k panel with budget left over for a 980ti. Why are these choices never easy.

    Basic Skylake 6700K Overclocking review and performance.

    Thank you - X99 versus Skylake was the big question. Now well answered :)

    Tell me about 120ds

    I got 48mpg average out of a tank (over 15000 miles) in my E87 123d. As always comes down to driving style and type of road on your commute but the same sort of figures out of a 120d should be achievable. That being said I'd agree with the consensus here and keep the Z. Potential chain /...

    Will a GTX 970 be enough?

    My 7950 is still scraping by at 1440p. A 970 would be a decent step up. It's probably fine. If you can stretch to a 980 you'd get some comfort room. A 980ti would be the solution to not have to worry at all - but obviously comes at a price. I'm thinking upgrading soon and will be putting a...

    Wasabi-Mango and Crossover Korean 40" 4k Monitors. With Freesync

    Can't see a thread on here about them. This looks to be a repeat of the 1440p Catleap days all over again! Except back then we ended up with the DGM from OCUK as the safe option. Any ideas if there is likely to be an OCUK stocked version of this panel (under whatever brand) in the future?

    Silverstone FT05 initial build review - not impressed

    Thanks - that's really useful info. The RV05 is the other wildcard. Looks aside I'm not sure on the differences between it and the FT05. I think it might just be construction material (plastic on the rv05) and the lack of acoustic foam padding on the panels. Oh - and the price of course :)...

    Silverstone FT05 initial build review - not impressed

    Reading between the lines - you've had an FT02 and now the FT05. I keep going between the two - FT05 appeals but the space in the 02 seems nice. If you've had both - knowing what you know now which would you pick starting fresh? Assume the drive restrictions in the FT05 aren't a problem.

    Silverstone FT05 initial build review - not impressed

    How is the fit of the CR-95 in the FT05? Do you have any pictures of your completed build?

    Picked up my new car this weekend........955hp V10 Audi RS6! (HP figure updated 08/10/22)

    Lovely car, always had a soft spot stuff for these. One of them left my old E39 M5 for dead one day, it felt like I was stationary.

    **AMD Fiji Thread**

    I agree entirely. It's a daft line of discussion. Just adding my 2p to the signal to noise ratio!

    **AMD Fiji Thread**

    Also makes no sense. How does a reviewer get an audience with no products to review? Regardless of that logic - that's just not how it works in the real world. For anything. This thread is going to need a few more clean ups before the 24th I reckon. Can't believe the review sample line of...

    **AMD Fiji Thread**

    Regardless once stock hits general availability all sites can review. So this is only really for pre-release. AMD have every right to distribute how they want. And as a result we should all take with pinches of salt reviews unless results are consistent from different sources. Looking forward...

    Does your graphics card have coil whine?

    Yes PowerColor HD 7950 PCS Seasonic 500W Had coil whine out of the box. After a few benchmark passes it's 'gone'. I'm sure it's still there but I can no longer hear it at normal seating distance. Whether this behaviour (whine going away after a few stress tests) can be explained or...

    Advice On Upgrade From GTX460 1GB

    I bought another card not from overclockers. I didn't want to mention it previously as not sure I can re: forum rules and didn't want the previous posters to think their advice had gone in vain. It hadn't, it set me firmly on the path towards a 7950 but I had to get one that fitted my case...
