    [SOLVED] ASUS RT-AX86U or Netgear Nighthawk RAX120?

    Hi all, could use some advice. I have the chance to buy a "Netgear Nighthawk RAX120" for £256 (RRP £384, that's -30%). I was originally going to buy the "ASUS RT-AX86U" (£219.35), but now I'm stuck. Most review sites state that the ASUS RT-AX86U is great value for money, with mesh, gaming and...

    [SOLVED] Home Multi-Room setup: Which Brand? Which Amp? How Many?

    Thanks again. As for the Used route, I've looked, but it seems that not many are for sale in Europe... everyone seems to be getting rid of their S1 compatable Sonos gear only. I'll make it my mission to try and snap them up whenever they arise.

    [SOLVED] Home Multi-Room setup: Which Brand? Which Amp? How Many?

    Apologies, shows my lack of knowledge. I thought that an AC receiver with "Sonos compatibility" and 2 Zones function would behave almost like 2x Sonos Amps, without the need to buy those Amps. I wanted a Sonos ARC as a soundbar for the LG CX TV, in combination with two l/r ceiling speakers, as...

    [SOLVED] Home Multi-Room setup: Which Brand? Which Amp? How Many?

    Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I'm learning more and more! What if i used an AV reciever, like the Pioneer VSX 934 for the TV/living room/kitchen area? From my understanding, I should be able to plug in a turntable, LG CX TV, a PS5, a Sonos ARC, two L/R ceiling speakers for the TV area...

    [SOLVED] Home Multi-Room setup: Which Brand? Which Amp? How Many?

    I didn't know how helpful they'd be, but ill be sure to get in touch with them. Are Sonos the best option? Is there a cheaper solution? I was hoping someone with experience of another smart multi-home audio system like BluOS would chip in. Im looking for the best value as all of those Amps...

    [SOLVED] Home Multi-Room setup: Which Brand? Which Amp? How Many?

    Hi All, I'm a novice when it comes to audio, so could really use some help deciding on amps for a multi-room audio setup - with app connectivity. I've got 9 Monitor Audio ceiling speakers for a new flat: 1 c265 stereo speaker for each of the 3 bedrooms 1 awc265 stereo speaker for each of the 2...

    XMP reverts back to 1333mhz boot to bios after a couple of days

    "With your CPU, you may need a slight OC of the CPU to carry the sticks at 2400, try OCing to 4GHz, could also try adding a bit of voltage to the DDRVTT voltage (might be CPUVTT on your mobo), maybe to 1.1" I'll give it a go, thanks.

    I have Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400mhz ram and select xmp to get the most out of it.

    Asus 4-way Optimization boots back to stock?

    Hi, I have a pretty decent system (details below) and as I have a water-cooled I7 4770K cpu I thought I'd give overclocking a go. I have an Asus Impact VI motherboard so decided to use the 4-way Intelligent Optimization to do it for me. I chose an overclock of 4.4ghz and temps never reached...

    Corsair 250d vs Aerocool Dead Silence case

    Yes, but im stuck between these two cases. Just received the corsair 250d. It looks beautiful. The Aerocool DS dwarfs it. However, being a small pc it still has better temps in online reviews than the aerocool DS. I just dont know if I could give up my 780 Classy for an asus 780...
