    Should I pay off my PCP early, ahead of me selling/trading my car?

    I've spoken to Mini Finance and they allow the sale of the car so long as the finance is clearaed as a condition of the sale. So that can either be me, dealer/trade or private buyer settling the debt at the point of sale. If I sell it before the year end the new customer will still have the...

    Should I pay off my PCP early, ahead of me selling/trading my car?

    We both have JCWs purchased the same time... I'm in the better position to trade as mine has more value in it and I made a larger deposit at the time of purchase - she still has roughly £1.5-2k of negative equity in the car. I was hoping to get a "dad" car in plenty of time as we'll probably...

    Should I pay off my PCP early, ahead of me selling/trading my car?

    Hello all - looking for a little bit of advice on how to proceed as this is the only PCP car I've had. I'm currently 33 months into a 48 month PCP deal on my Mini F56 JCW. There's currently a balance of a bit over £18k but the settlement figure is £17.5k. The PCP is at 5.9% apr and I have...

    slowing fibre what are the options?

    Just need the VPN. I believe if you install it, but don't log into an account, it gives you Xgb of free data to give it a test.

    slowing fibre what are the options?

    Also... Are you using homeplugs/powerline adapters? These are known to cause interference with FTTC connections as they run on the same frequency.

    slowing fibre what are the options?

    I'm in a similar boat to you. 10 or so years ago fibre up by me was 40/6. It's now down to 28/5. It was inevitable with the cabinet now full there's crosstalk (and the alluminium lines to our houses are in constant need of repair). I get 60-80mbps on Three 4g. I use my phone via usb to hotspot...

    My GPU fans spin to 100% whenever a game is loading

    It's also only happened since your new CPU and upgrading to DDR4. Likelihood is your gpu was producing a high amount of frames in loading screens but was probably being stopped short of 100% usage by your cpu. Give the above suggestions a try - for a quick and dirty test to see if it is frames...

    Can I share a folder on PC network connected to TV Box?

    You would be better off using something like Plex to share media throughout your network. The Pi could definitely do that - but wont have enough power to transcode media so it's important that your devices can directly stream the media.

    Connecting 2 x monitors to a laptop

    What splitter are you using? I suspect all the splitter is doing is sending the same output to both monitors. You need something a bit more fancy for it to tell the laptop to output 3840x1080 and then split the signal to each monitor. Also in doing it this way you lose a lot of built in windows...

    GPU upgrade in an old build, PSU question?

    You should be fine in terms of power requirements. In respect of the age of the PSU that's really up to you - if you've got the budget available an investment in a new PSU, potentially at a higher wattage, will of course last beyond this little upgrade and into future builds.

    Possible upgrade to AMD Phenom II XT 1090t

    For a bit over hundred quid you can find people selling older 4th gen i5 cpu/mboard/ram combos that will be better than phenom/fx

    Which 2080?

    Everyone hates a thread without a result - so here you go! I noticed this on the store earlier and bit the bullet and purchased it: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/80366 Seems to tick all the boxes: Price isn't too premium Solid brand Decent warranty Thicker cooler than...

    Which 2080?

    The main reason for needing the upgrade is that I changed from a 24" 144hz TN panel to a lovely 35" 1440p ultrawide 120hz VA panel last August. Primarily because I was sick of a looking at a monitor that had garbage colours/blacks, despite being competitive... However the 1070 struggles at 1440P...

    Which 2080?

    I'm looking to upgrade my 1070 FE to a 2080 and wanted to know if there was any real world benefit in going for a more expensive 2080, over say the palit below? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/palit-geforce-rtx-2080-dual-8192mb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-04j-pl.html My current card is...

    m-ATX case that's portable

    Hey All Having visited a mate who had his Vive setup in his living room I'm looking to dust off my Rift. I never really got into it as the Man Cave only gave me just enough room to stand still, with small movements to the left or right resulting in wall banging. I currently have an old Antec...

    Cheapest or best VFM router with bandwidth limiting

    Hey All I was wondering what router everyone would recommend that would allow me to limit the bandwidth of certain devices. If it makes a difference the devices I'd like to limit will all be WiFi connected. I don't mind if this is through some fancy QoS functionality, or guest wifi access with...

    Raspberry Pi 3

    Not sure if this helps but I use my pi 3 as a plex server with a 1tb external hdd. I've installed Samba on it and just map the drive on my pc and drag my media onto it - although Samba isn't the quickest I get 7MBs write speeds and 11MBs read speeds over the network. Enough to view 1080p content...

    Check over new build please?

    Good spot on the bundle! I'll be seeing him shortly so I'll think about squeezing in 16gb of ram in. In terms of the PSU being rubbish.. Is there a reason for that? I was always under the impression of having a good amount of amps on a single rail is a sign of a good PSU, and multiple rails...
