Using the board right now. It had no issues installing Windows and it's running great. 31950~ in Cinebench R23. Temperatures peak at about…

Same with me. The board has an audio header which was a nice surprise. I've built the PC so far. With a slim 12mm fan it literally fits…

Just got an update that mine is coming today too.

Delivery date 24th October which seems slow for DHL express.

Same - DHL Express.

That's on you then. GOG gives you the installer to download to make as many backups as you want which is arguably more secure than…

Less IO, poor BIOS support and no CPU upgrades are the main negatives to me. The difference between this and a non-X3D CPU is margin of…

GPU power spikes may trip the PSU and you'll be running it at 90%+ during full load. I'd say it'll work but it'll depend how good the PSU…

Make sure to use the coupon for $30 USD off.

That's over $700?

I'm looking at the Fractal Ridge with a 7900 XTX, although you'd need to swap the fans for slims.

It was announced at $359 several days ago:…

Everything looks super sharp with some scaling. I could never go back to 1080p regardless of size.

It sits at 5W 90% of the time, but I was checking HWinfo when I was opening a new browser page and it spiked to 10W.

They're pretty small in mine too. It blows air upward towards the screen through two vents, I believe the older model may have had the left…

65Wh in mine and I'd say that 11 hours is accurate. General browsing and 70% screen brightness sees about 5-10W. Gaming or running any…

BIOS reports a second m.2 slot but I've not opened mine to confirm.

I have this exact laptop from the deal a few months ago and can confirm it's 100% aluminium both top and bottom. Only plastic is the…

5800X is great so this 4080 would be a great pairing. 7900 XTX is not even worth considering when the 4080 has matched its price.

Won't the 5080 be at least $2k? The 5070 will probably match this for performance/VRAM, and likely somewhere between $1-1.5K. Not much…

What's your CPU? Even at 3440x1440, the 4080 will be bottlenecked by an older CPU. If you're on AMD, you may be able to drop in a 5700X3D…

Convert them to JB gift cards, then make a click and collect or delivery order and you can use multiple at the checkout. If you want…

Nintendo Switch? Although even then not all games can reach this monitors resolution of 1080p, at least you get native output though.

I had some wifi connectivity issues but since updating it has been flawless.

Do not pursue Lubluelu

PS5/XBSX would work well considering they support 1440p and many games are 1440p-ish in performance mode (60fps).

I've been running 2x18TB EXOS from them for 6 months with no issues. They looked brand new when I got them. 250mb/s read from my NAS with…

Even when they are loose, it's rare for blu-ray discs to get scratched. I've only had one come with scratches but that was loose in a…

Pretty much zero. Amazon UK will use a padded bag or envelope. Maybe if you order more items and get lucky with a combined shipment.

DS1 is a proper remaster with rock solid 60fps. DS2 is an enhanced port that did get backported to PS3 (Scholar content), also has all DLC…
