Think it's about time I upgraded the CPU in my system, starting to feel it being brought to it's knees! Currently have an ageing Intel i5-3450 with 16GB ram. I've got it alongside a 1060 6GB. Looking at the Ryzen 1600, considering it can be had for not a lot and pairing it with an X370 or 470...

Same here, a nice little surprise this morning! It's so much smaller than I thought it was going to be, will give it a try at lunch, might have a few colleagues wanting a shot.

:eek: Loving the setup! Is that the GT Omega stand? If so it's the same as I have minus the seat, but the seat makes it look so much better, might have to invest a bit.

Good to hear. have you got any recommendations? Currently looking at TP Link 3200, Netgear R7000 Nighthawk (1900)and D Link AC3200. Cheers Bledd, will try it out when I get home.

Thanks guys. I'll try and diagnose the problem as you've mentioned Bledd, hopefully it will be as easy as a dodgy cable. I'll see if any of the machines are carrying out updates or any sort of uploads in the background. Something is potentially taking up the bandwidth without me realising. I'll...

Really looking for some advice on my home network setup, make sure I'm getting the most out of it. I currently have 76mb broadband and given the fact I'm right next to the cabinet, I pretty much get this speed. So no issues here. I currently have 2 gaming PC's setup upstairs, with the router...

Dreaming of Japan here as well, might be a few years away but has to be done at some point! Have got Soldeu booked for January, pretty much booked it as soon as I got back from Les Gets. Hoping for Canada next year or following year too. Can't wait to get back on the slopes.

The main reason for going with the i7 over the i5 would be for hyper threading, so for multi-tasking the i7 would be superior. In terms of gaming, both will perform very similarly, unless the game itself takes advantage of HT, then the i7 would be much better (Not many games will take advantage...

Have owned all 3 (Xbox, PS4 & Switch) bought all 3 on launch. PS4 was first to go, played all the exclusives I wanted to plus Xbox was getting all the attention at the time. Then the Xbox was recently sold, hadn't played it in ages and nothing coming out soon that interests me or that I can't...

I went with the Omega GT for my G29, preferred not having the bar between my legs. It's well built and suits the steering wheel. I'm 6"3 as well and don't find any issues with fitting between the bars. it is quite big though, which is probably the only issue I have with it, even folded it's...

I bought my rift after trying out a friends PSVR. Was very tempted by the PSVR but the Oculus seemed to offer so much more over and above the playstation. I absolutely love it, adding a whole new immersion to gaming and so much more fun to be had. I don't use it on a daily basis, but at the...

Had that feeling, it was only recently I realised how old Ivybridge is, so had a little think about a possible upgrade. It's looking likely that getting a 1070 is the better route to go down and the cheaper. A 1070 seems the logical upgrade, my CPU looks like it can last a little longer. Might...

I might keep my eye out for a 2nd hand 1070 on the MM, if I can get a decent amount for mine it could be a good upgrade, especially the additional 4GB. Based on the 1440 res I'm playing at and the oculus rift, that might be the better upgrade. Regarding the CPU, the best available for the 1155...

Didn't realise the 7600k was around the same price (Looking at about £20 more than the 6600k). This looks like a better and newer option. I've seen the arguments on here a lot, mainly pushing the new Ryzen CPU's. Don't want this one to turn in to that, but going by the rest of the threads it's...

Currently looking at upgrading my CPU from my faithful i5-3450 Ivybridge to an i5-6600k. What I want to know is this a worthwhile upgrade? Obviously this means a new motherboard, more than likely a Z270 and new DDR4 ram. I've currently got an AMD RX470 4GB and 8GB ram to go with the i5. I...

I have a similar setup, i5 3470 (Similar to 2500k, same generation) and an RX470. My Rift works really well, albeit it does come up that my PC doesn't meet the required specifications, my guess being it is an older generation CPU as the rest of my system meets the requirements. I am looking to...

I've got an Intex one, but I imagine will be similar to the lay-z spa range. We love ours, but as MikeB mentioned it still requires the same amount of effort that goes in to a proper hot tub. You'll need to check the water on a regular basis and adjust the chemicals accordingly. If you do...

Used CDKeys quite a few times, always been impressed with the service. Last purchase was for Mario Kart for the Wii U and was delivered straight away, downloading the game as we speak :D

I'll check when I get home, but I'm sure it's connecting at 1gb. I'll also check the cable, thanks. I'm running XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.3 build 3810++ (repack v1.0). It was a fresh install, haven't updated it. I know I'm still a complete beginner with this, but I'm getting there, just...

Hopefully you guys can help me out a bit here. My transfer speeds to and from my N54L are terrible. When copying files across the speeds hover around the 1-2 mb/s, so definitely frustarting when I've got quite a few photos and video files that take up a lot of room and it takes days to transfer...
