Yeah. Its a case of, i only upgraded from Ivy Bridge 2 years ago with this current rig, and my 3570k lasted 8+ years. So if I'm going to upgrade, I don't want to spend £750 on an extra 20fps. I want something that gives a smooth 1440p (not fussed with 4k) experience on high-ultra settings...

Is there an AM4 CPU that would support 100fps?

Hello I've got a 5600x/6700xt/32gb and I'd like to play Flight Sim 2020 at 100fps or better at 1440p. The 6700 isn't going to cut it. Does anyone have experience with a 5600x and FS2020 and can recommend a card to get this FPS? Obvs don't want to spend more than I need to. Thanks

OcUK has had a few batches of stock the last months. I picked up a Nitro+ here a month back. To be fair, the card has only been worth having since mid April when AMD released 21.4.1 drivers as before that the framerate was worse than my RX 580 in CS:GO and PUBG. Now I'm getting 200+ FPS in both...

Thanks both. Will need to find a middle ground between those very pricey Noctuas and the less efficient Arctics (not saying they're not price efficient) - perhaps the Noiseblockers will do it. Is fan blade count a factor or is RPM more important for shifting air? I'm less concerned about noise...

Evening All, I've just dumped the innards of my Ivy Bridge / Z77 system (3570k, 16gb, RX580) along with an Alpine 11 LP cooler into a Jonsbo G3 case and very nicely it all fits indeed. I've cut some suitably located holes in the tv unit surrounding it so it can breathe (the back is open)...

Interesting. I've gone from a Nitro+ 580 to a Nitro+ 6700XT and the latter is considerably louder.

Thanks both. Will hold on to it for this system. Occurred to me that I've basically built a whole new rig now so I will follow it through and buy a new PSU too and the current system will either go to MM/'bay or replace the guts of my currently E5800-driven HTPC so I can sneak a game on the big...

Hello All, I've got a Corsair AX760 and according to a forum post I unearthed I've had it since 2013. I'm about to build a new system, replacing my 3570k/z77/RX580 with 5600x/b550/6700XT :D The AX760 has been reliable throughout but I'm worried about it going pop and taking out my new...

You may want to post up in CS. I had to change the address on my order and CS responded there faster than the webnote (and obv phones are jammed).

Yeah, I engaged brain and used the search function eventually :). Snapped up the Nitro as I've had the RX 580 N+ since the last mining mayhem, and grateful for the reasonable price given what your comps are charging for lesser variants. Edit: props to Customer Service for sorting the mistake I...

Depends what you've got now (in my case an RX 580 Nitro+) and how much of your savings you're willing to shell out, I guess.. Gibbo, I need to change my address for my order as my OcUK account had my old one. I've sent a webnote - is this the fastest way to get in touch with CS at the moment...

Bloody marvellous. Thanks OcUK - will be quite a weekend as I'm upgrading from Ivy Bridge - Zen 3 and SATA -> NVME too. :D

Ah, thanks for clueing me. Do I have to sing a certain tune or know the handshake for said voucher or is it somewhere obvious?

Looks like I'll have to squeeze out what I can from my RX580 until further notice.. Or buy another and dabble with crossfire for what meagre frames that'll give me. Shame cos I'd buy a 3080 on the spot for a reasonable sum. Why are OcUK putting GPUs on their site at £10k a piece periodically...

Probs in this odd 5.25" thing I have in my case that periodically I'll slap a blu ray in or burn something important to an MDISC on. :) Ballistix unfortunately seem to be out of stock just about everywhere unless you're willing to fork out (and coming from a time where LEDs had just started to...

They do, and yes indeed. I've got a bit more value out of it than where I started and I've done it in a way that I'm not paying through the nose for AM4. The 10400F is the bargain, certainly.. but for £100 I won't have the grief of wondering what could have been (and every frame will count while...

Went with the 5600X (+ B550-F) after all as I worked out the component price in a bundle and its a hair over retail without any RAM incompatibility headaches and with OC options, and a nicer board than the B560/Z490 choices. Figured in too that I'll want a 3070/6800 before long and I don't want...

Thank you - just found the Asrock QVL for that board.

Fair points. There's a few factors at play: 1) I don't want to faff with changing my PSU out or adding new cables or frankly rewiring my case for this build. Time is precious at the moment and I'd like to just drop the built motherboard straight into the gap the Z77 will leave. 2) 10600K can...
