I did this upgrade. I hadn't realised how many games in 4K used over 10GB of VRAM, particularly the Sony ports. Happy with the purchase,…

Got the cashback approved, for anyone interested I submitted it on the weekend and got the approval notification today. Let's see when it…

@Easy Money Hmm OK I thought the review/approval might've come through quicker and then a few weeks wait to actually receive the cashback.

@Easy Money How long did it take from submission to approval?

The Schweppes brown creamy soda is not too different from the old Tarax one. The Kirks pink creaming soda is nice as well. River Port…

This review seems to indicate that it'd get pretty toasty without a heatsink and may throttle on sustained writes.…

I've had one of these for a couple of months now, great drives, no issues with heat (as long as you have a heatsink on your motherboard) or…

Not yet.

Just re-read it. Pre-ordering in store, I originally interpreted this as if you pickup in store it'd be given at pickup, or up to 2 weeks…

Did the pre-order of the base 8 and picked it up from JB, gift card was not given. I asked them to double-check, apparently it gets emailed…

The more than doubling in price is rude and doesn't give people take up time to migrate to efficient electric. Gas is widely used in…

Gas prices in Victoria are a disgrace. I was on a fixed plan that expired in July, the balance step (>50MJ per day) for my area was…

I am a CBA customer and have Yello activated but I don't and can't use the CBA app because I have a physical RSA token, which is…

Agreed, I have both the SN850X (boot/games) and the Lexar (secondary storage). Benchmarks are similar but the SN850X is more consistent,…

Those temps are not hot. I had a Samsung 970 Evo Plus that used to sit at 62 at idle and hit the 80s under load. This was under a…

Haha, yes indeed, these would be on another level if they did 4TB/sec.

Received the 4TB model of this last Friday. I was looking for a good secondary storage drive with a decent sustained write speed. Copying…

On mine it was clearly audible through the case and I found the changing pitch especially very distracting. If it was only audible with my…

The whine was louder than everything else in my otherwise quiet machine. EVGA 3080 FTW only does it at really high fps in menus, that's…

I bought one of these in the last sale and returned it. Mine had loud coil whine over 60fps, audible though a closed and sound insulated…

Thanks for the heads up. I'd be hoping they'd be coming down though rather than going up! :)

I snoozed on these, thought the Gigabyte would be better due to extra warranty and they seem to reliably not have coil whine. Snooze you…

Please restock the Gigabyte 4080 Gaming OC :)

Awesome deal, been watching this drive for a few weeks now. Got a children's book with it. Thanks OP

The trade system is back 'up" but supposedly 2 cards not authorised, despite there being 4 $1 pending charges on the cards. Zzzzzzz

Same here, apparently have two orders in, I had all sorts of issues with the phone number not working and then the card. My card has been…

Mine is quiet, I've noticed that the fans come on more when the laptop is plugged in though and take longer to turn off. If temps stay…

I had this exact machine and returned - faulty keyboard. Also be aware that the MX450 makes the keyboard deck get quite hot during gaming.…

I'll use DP 1.4 for my desktop as I like the way it clicks in, haha. HDMI from laptop for 4K 60Hz. I get the impression these have to use…

Bought a G3223Q, to replace my current 32" 60hz IPS screen. Will see how it goes - was keen on an OLED, but only in 32" size if one comes…
