Are you deliberately misinterpreting that or what?
I'm clearly saying it to point out the longevity of my relationship with OCUK - the point was that I've made regular-but-occasional orders over a 10+ year period and been a forum member for a similar amount of time
It seems ridiculous to...
Yes, I've been active, but are you forgetting the fact that this forum has had "Chances to the MM" stickies for about the last 5 years? There was one perpetually up there about changing post requirements for AGES. I'd just assumed it was the same one
You also seem to be suggesting that you can...
And the entire point of this conversation is that we’re talking about people who haven’t been active? Yet your response is “well you should have been active”
Where was the email to members? The PM? The notification in the inbox? The automated message when they next post in the forum?
None of...
No need for that attitude, tbh
This whole thing has done nothing but turn me away from both OcUK and the community. Which, no, I haven’t been that active in recently - but I’ve been active in bursts for a lot of years.
Frankly I’ll just go shop elsewhere if I’m going to be met with this...
The principle of this seems fair but the lack of warning is ridiculous - your post states that you would warn people but you haven’t?
I’m literally on the verge of confirming a transaction in the MM, am I meant to now randomly spam 15 messages just to get access back fast enough to be able to...
I haven't had a HDD in my PC since about 2016, but I still use HDDs... in my NAS (2x 3TB mirrored for 3TB of capacity) and server (16TB of drives giving 10TB of capacity after parity)
My NAS backs up my OneDrive and some other important data, my server mostly stores media that I really don't...
My current system drive is a 250GB Samsung 960 EVO (claimed: 3.2GB/s read 1.9GB/s write), which is running out of space. Realistically my Samsung is plenty fast enough and I don't give much of a crap about it being any faster, but I'd rather avoid any replacement being any slower
In my system...
There's a much simpler/faster (albeit somewhat counter-intuitive) shortcut for this that doesn't involve lugging your subwoofer round to 10 different locations in the room
Place the subwoofer in your main listening position, then just move around and put your head at each location you would be...
Advantages of combi
- Saves space
- Cheaper (usually)
- Hot water always available
Advantages of tank
- Can more easily run multiple bathrooms or systems with more than 2 floors
- Usually easier to get a more powerful shower, particularly if you have low water pressure
I'm generally of the...
I've got nothing specific to add to the above build other than the fact that I run almost the exact spec dfour mentions (8700K/GTX1080/16GB) and play a lot of Total War, and it's absolotely great: framerates are pretty rock solid I never notice anything more than a very occasional stutter.
The...
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with timber framed construction - most of America uses timber framed housing. There are positives and pitfalls, but no more or less than brick houses - they're just different.
The main "gotchas" are insurance potentially being more expensive or harder to...
As others have said, insulate and seal the garage as best you can.
Then, I'd probably just put a vent + fan (like a bathroom extractor fan) somewhere unobtrusive to blow air from the house into the garage. Positive air pressure will then push any stale air out through whatever gaps you've...
Plot twist: It's the case and I was shorting the wrong pins on the motherboard. Either that or I had the right pins and the power switch issue had messed up the CMOS which resolved after I left the battery out overnight.
Either way, when using the power switch from another case and connecting...
Update: as suspected, the system won't boot in any configuration I'm able to test (listed below, let me know if I've missed any potential combination given that I only have one LGA1151 motherboard/CPU, and two sticks of DDR4)
- Removed from case
- Removed drives
- Removed GTX 1080 and used...
Yeah I’ll go through a full strip-down and test regime later when I have time just in case, but I’m 99% sure it’s the same as a month ago - it’s showing literally identical symptoms and that’s a hell of a coincidence otherwise
So I’m 99% sure the motherboard is dead, but I don’t know what...
I haven’t actually shorted the switch header yet on this motherboard, but I’m 99% sure it won’t work as the symptoms look identical to my issue a month ago. I will try it (along with CMOS battery) but I’m fairly confident it won’t help
I thought the same thing about the case switch, but once I...
My PC was running fine for 23 months until last month. For a couple of weeks it had felt like I had to press the power button harder than you’d expect before it would start, then it just refused to boot with no signs of life (including shorting the power switch pins)
Replaced the motherboard...
Out of interest, what motherboard is it?
I’ve had this issue with two Gigabyte Aorus motherboards in a month, and am trying to work out if Gigabyte boards are having an issue or if I have another component causing problems
