    Best thermal paste

    There's not a lot in it at the top end of the range of suppliers, so just get an amount that suits your needs, is available and is at a decent price

    First gaming PC with future proofing to allow for rolling upgrades

    I'd go for some 6000 cl30 memory in that build

    Extra SATA ports

    For plugging in 1 device, either an external enclosure connected to usb or a pci-e card if you want everything internal

    Help with upgrading for noise

    Mesh cases can be a pain in the bum in a bedroom environment though and need a lot of dust removing

    Monitor Help - Weird looking colours

    Dumb question - I take it that this issue doesn't happen if you have just one monitor plugged in? Have you tried plugging both monitors in via HDMI or display port to see if that makes a difference

    Help with upgrading for noise

    I'd go with a larger case with sound dampening (Fractal R series maybe) and some Noctua 140mm fans

    Are refurb chairs risky?

    I've had a second hand aeron for the last 6 years, still looks the same as the day I picked it up and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another used model from a reputable seller

    Alienware announces the AW2725DF and AW3225QF (worlds first 4k 240hz and worlds first 1440p 360hz QD-OLED monitors - launches January 2024)

    I'll be following the monitors unboxed burn in 'torture test' with interest, as most of my use is desktop apps as I work from home 3 days a week and I am very reticent to jump over to OLED until my concerns about burn in have been addressed or at least I'm a bit more informed about it

    i7 8700k to i9 11900f

    Better luck this time - I'll be interested in your impressions if/when you get it going, as I'm still running my 8700k@5ghz as it seems to be perfectly fine for my 3080fe system as I'm only on a 1440p 60hz monitor

    Intel Core Ultra 'Arrow Lake' Discussion/News ("15th gen") on LGA-1851

    I will be interested to see if they have been able to create a more efficient CPU in terms of its power use and whether they will offer a greater level of cache to help with frame rates

    AMD Zen 5 rumours

    I thought it was, because it is a limitation of the number of pcie lanes. X670E boards seem to have far fewer issues as they 'double up' g so hopefully we will see some general consumer level boards with the new chips/chipsets that don't force you into difficult compromises

    AMD Zen 5 rumours

    For example, some of the 650e motherboards force you to choose between populating all of the NVMe slots or using all the pcie lanes of your gpu. Others kill pcie slots or NVMe slots depending on what you have plugged in

    Win 11 secureboot and TPM motherboards

    I'd be shocked if any board manufactured in the last 18 months by a reputable brand didn't have full windows 11 tpm compatability

    AMD Zen 5 rumours

    Hopefully there will be some new chipset variants to go with these cpus that don't have as many compromises when it comes to plugging in devices

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    Are the Intel nics on am5 motherboards still a problem for some users? might need to factor in either a pcie nic or usb3 one unless you switch to a board with a realtek nic

    City Fibre

    Sounds like they are buying up Lit Fibre - i imagine we will see quite a consolidation of fibre providers over the next 10 years

    Aquiss

    Do they use what used to be Entanet (https://www.peeringdb.com/net/155) for backhaul across the UK and at what point do they handover from Openreach? The prices/reviews look decent, but I do have some concerns about Entanet and their network resiliency

    Can WIFI on motherboard (B550) be really 100% safely and securely disabled...?

    I just disable it in the bios as I use a wired connection

    A620 boards - any good?

    Is there a decent one that doesn't come with an Intel ethernet port?

    MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR5 Question!

    Disappointing that MSI haven't updated their online manual, sata 1 certainly doesn't work any more if you plug anything in to m2-3
