Hi, yes 1440p gaming. COD Warzone, DCS World, Cyberpunk 2077. I do need to buy a PSU anyway because my son is getting the Seasonic 750w to go with some other bits for his own first gaming PC. I was kinda hoping that you'd say 1000w is ok because that opens up more stock options and less cost!

Hi all, I need some help to choose an in-stock PSU to go with the below components: Intel Core i7-13700K (Raptor Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail £419.99 Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 (LGA 1700) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £319.99 Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16...

Sounds good. I'm not processing massive data sets or anything that might need thta bit extra bandwidth. Thanks for your help. Now to pick a mobo, PSU, cooler, NVMe drive, etc lol. Getting there slowly.

Brilliant, thanks! You've helped me out a lot there. Interesting the faster Mhz RAM has slower CAS and other subtiming latency, so maybe both those kits even out.

Help please, my brain has melted from reading too many product specs. Going to buy a 13700k and a Z790 motherboard, probably Aorus (that's what I know best but will consider others). Already got an RTX 3080. I want 64GB for games like DCS World. I don't need RGB. I have no idea about memory...

So, great news! After waiting as suggested, and bodging in an old AIO cooler (the mounting screws are at an odd angle as the bracket is slightly too big for the mobo mounting holes!!!) I found in the loft, the mobo and CPU still works! Boots into Windows no issue using integrated graphics. Now I...

Hi all, So my daughter's PC had a CPU AIO cooler that leaked from the block over the graphics card and some small quantities were deposited around the CPU socket on the mobo, and possibly over the CPU as the thermal paste looks wet. There was no sign of liquid inside the CPU socket itself. Also...

Oh right! Thanks. I did think it was a strange thing to omit from a high quality case.

Looks like the Phanteks Eclipse P600S is one for the shortlist. I was a bit worried about one purchaser saying that a lack of HDD mount rubber gromits makes the HDD vibrations go through the case though. Has anyone else got that case?

Hi all, I'm looking for a replacement for my Coolermaster CM-690 Dominator [2009 vintage ;-) ]. I was about to build a new i5-10600k and Z490 combo in it but realised things have moved on and it might be a good time to get a new case. So... I've been looking at the Coolermaster Silencio S600...

Hello all, I'm looking to change my mobo and CPU in my current build (a z290 and 7700k). I'm likely to go for the i5-10600k and like the Gigabyte Z490 boards (although I am open to other high quality suggestions). Assuming I choose Gigabyte, I'm struggling to understand which boards might suit...

Hi all, If I don't care what the card looks like, but do care about noise and cooling am I better off going for an FE card or one of these?

Hmmm. CPU-Z is showing a range of 1.260V (idle) - 1.368V (moderate load) at 4.8Ghz. Sounds too high?

Hi MartinPrice, I know what temperatures are acceptable, but what would be too much voltage? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies! :) I've taken on board the suggestion to overclock and wondered how to go about it as it's been a while since I did any overclocking - back on a 3570k actually! So I looked around the BIOS and found an option called 'CPU Upgrade' set to AUTO. I selected '4.8Ghz'...

Hello all, I'm running an i7700k on a Gigabyte z270X Gaming 7 at 4.5GHz. For me, due to playing DCS World, the fastest single core speed is more important than number of cores/threads. Is there a worthwhile upgrade available now that'll give a fair bump in performance? Or something coming...

Thanks! I appreciate the input from String and yourself on the case - makes for a comforting feeling! I keep thinking I should review the cooling which I haven't upgraded since I had a 3570k overclocked, and is now an i7700k overclocked. I have an AIO (Corsair H60) and a fair few fans but I'll...

The Palit Jetstream has some good reviews. I'm struggling to see the difference between the two Palit models, apart from the £40 price difference. They both seem to have the same cooling arrangement, core and mem speeds, same outputs. Why the price difference I wonder? The name 'Jetstream' must...

Schtop, schtop you are making me feel sad! :) Any idea how often these sorts of offers run?

What would make you go for a 1080 over a 1070 Ti? I should probably add I'm running 1440p and no VR.
