    The Pascal GTX 1080 Ti Owners Thread

    I RMA'd a new 1080ti to EVGA that was pixelating all over the shop. Posted to them on a Tues, got a new card the following Tues. Was a very smooth process.

    Anyone else regret going full water ?

    Had both main rigs under water for a few years now. My 5820k rig has just sprung a leak though from one of the XSPC angled swival fittings on the CPU block. Right PITA as I'll have to drain right down to replace. This has been my only issue too date though, overall very happy.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    I left Sky back in April. Since then I've received various offers by email to go back, the latest one is 75% off package prices for 12 months. Problem is I'm locked into a Virgin contract until next April now! Tempted to go back to Sky next April if the offers are good around then. I much...

    Which ac router - Asus AC68U problems

    I ditched my ASUS RT-AC87U in favour of using a UAP-AC-PRO combined with my Virgin Superhub 3 set to modem only mode. Much better wifi around the house now.

    Intel i7 930 and GTX 900/1000 series - bottleneck?

    I have rev 1.0 of that motherboard and run a Xeon X5670 @4.2Ghz without issue. Runs very cool as well.

    Amazon Xeon fraud! :O

    In fact, I have just used this very function to bring a "dead" Asus Gene V Z77 motherboard back to life. Would not boot to Bios at all, was on the verge of binning the board as "dead" when I stumbled across this function, tried it and restored the BIOS to the most recent version! Excellent facility!

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    i have TP link Powerline adaptors, the newer 1200 models. I was getting between 130-200Mbs connection, but after having a new consumer unit installed, connection has dropped to 50Mbs. I think it's because of the dual RCDs on the CU and each ring that the plugs are on is on a different RCD.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    i cancelled my Sky TV package last week as we are moving to a new house next month. The new house has an option to connect to Virgin Media at a 200Mbs speed, so I'm looking at their packages currently as half price for 6 months. BT Infinity is also available at estimated 60Mbs speed. I was...

    I want a Plasma TV again!

    Even though the 37s are only 720p, the picture quality is still superb. I much prefer Plasma to LCD/LED. Next set will have to be OLED when the prices come down a bit and the technology is more mature.

    we still have 3 plasma tvs in use in the house, all Panasonics - a 50PZ70, 37PX70 and 37PX600. requires a small power station to power them though!

    OCUK's new website

    I tried to choose an alternative (and existing) delivery address on my order at the weekend and the website just kept on giving an error. In the end I had to retype the alternate delivery address into the order, even though it's present on the saved addresses. Bit of a shambles really.

    What next - 800d upgrade

    I have an 800D also, with an XSPC RX360 + RX120 in the loop. I'm seriously thinking about swapping it out for a Corsair Air 540. I find that the 800D side panels resonate quite a bit with the PSU / Fans / Pump.

    user profile seems to show all delivery addresses when you click on "select others", including older invalid ones. There doesn't seem to be an option to delete old addresses from your profile.

    1366 X58 Xeon 5650

    My Xeon X5670 @4.2Ghz runs approx 10c cooler at idle than my old i7 930 @ 3.8Ghz. Very happy with the performance bump and lower temps from this relatively cheap upgrade!
