    Dealing with Cancer

    I'm sorry to hear about your dads diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in June (GBM Grade 4 Wildtype Diffuse Multiform - about as bad as you can get being inoperable) Had an operation at Addenbrookes after a 12 week wait due to bloody COVID 19. Then had a 6 week radio and chemo...

    Advice required - Wide lens for Nikon 7100

    I use the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 and the Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 on my D7100. Both Really good lenses. The 17-50mm would give you something wider then your current selection and its a great stabilised walk round lens also. The 10-20mm is not stabilised but that's not really an issue when this wide...

    Bag Problem

    The 55 and 70 litre are front loading but they have a smaller daypack that zips in also. A quick google will show all.

    Bag Problem

    The Osprey Farpoint 40 Carry-On Travel Pack is also worth a look. Its a front loading carry on back pack that might do what you want.

    Which GPU

    Is coil whine an issue with either? I have a high quality EVGA PSU so hopefully not.

    Which GPU

    I keep going back and forth between these two cards. Will be using with an LG 3440x1440 monitor. Not a heavy gamer but want a reasonable ability to play some games. System is i7 4790k / Asus Z97-A / 16gb / EVGA G2 750 PSU I suspect the 390 is better given the res etc but would like...

    ** RAZER MEGASOMA - BLOODY SILLY PRICE - £25 OFF**

    There is a review on the OcUK product page that suggests this does not work well with laser mice. Can you confirm that it does work?

    B Grade Mobo's

    Thanks for the responses. Seems like a good deal for a decent board. I have loads of cables etc and I can make an IO shield if needed.

    B Grade Mobo's

    I've noticed there are B Grade mobos of the same type at different prices. Can anyone explain why. Is it that some have less accessories or are actually damaged in some way. Gigabyte **B Grade** Z97X-SOC Force Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard **Overclockers UK ( I assume...

    Corsair TX650

    I've noticed Corsair not being favoured recently. I am about to put a system together and have a TX650 spare from an older system. I assume the TX is still considered a decent PSU as it was when I bought it? Would it be Ok for an oc'd i7 4790K system with a single GFX card?

    Mac Mini 2012

    I've been running a 2012 2.6 with 16Gb and an SSD for over a year now with an LG 34UM95 and its a cracking setup. No problems with El Capitan so far. Runs very smoothly and is snappy with the SSD.

    RMA advice

    I'm not sure he will want to. I will ask him to assist with the RMA through OcUk though as that would seem fair to me.

    RMA advice

    Thanks for the advice. I've never had to RMA a graphics card to date so probably been lucky.

    RMA advice

    I purchased an MSI R9 290 Gaming from the MM recently which was sold as an RMA replacement from OcUK by the seller. The card has been giving odd screen glitches such as 1-2 second black screens that revert to desktop or odd screen tears. I have tried various drivers including latest...

    MSI R9 290 black screens

    I'll try another cable and see what happens.

    MSI R9 290 black screens

    I'm pretty sure the PSU is up to the job. All drivers and Mobo bios is up to date. Cable was good with previous card so I assume should be good with this one. It's running a LG 34UM95 but the Radeon HD5850 ran it OK previously.

    MSI R9 290 black screens

    I appreciate what you're saying but I bought a gfx card to use in my system and not so I could diagnose why it doesn't work properly.
