Hey, Can anyone shed me some light on how to troubleshoot my webcam freezing when gaming? If I Alt+Tab of my game and it background limits to 30fps or if I sent the in-game max fps to 30fps it's fine and the webcam is smooth. However, I don't really fancy playing a 2024 title in 30fps...

Howdy! I recently was able to bag myself a 4080 SUPER Founders Edition. However, will I need to change the cable routing behind or can I use my existing 4070 Ti FE cable and be a instant swap - old GPU out and new GPU in? Hopefully Black Ops 6 runs better on a 4080 SUPER cause 122 avg FPS...

Thanks for the suggestions! Sorry I didn't reply didn't get any email notification. I ended up with a DS923+ in the end! Not yet purchased any Hard Drives for it as was waiting for Black Friday but doubt I'll see any major discounts.

Hi, I'm looking to replace my Synology DS215J - With a larger 4-bay. I'm trying to decide which model is best for my usage and with it currently being August is now a good time to buy? My use case is: 1. Backups (2 MacBook's, 2 Windows 11 PCs, iPhone, iPad second backup aside iCloud). 2...

Thanks! I've seen some 2060-2070s for £190 but these are "Used". 1660s are coming up more than a brand new 3070 costs.. 🤦‍♂️ Reviewing: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JLvsjZ (suggested by a Discord community member/legend).

Which is normally better overall? To CPU or GPU encoding? I agree with that! I was looking at around 1660-1660 SUPER. The issue I'm having is getting a "fair" price it seems everyone is trying to get 3070 prices for a 1660 - same for 2070 lol. Been informed to pay "no more" than £160-£190 for...

I'm in the same boat. Have you decided on a system yet? Cheers

Hi all, Looking to build a second system for dedicated streaming (and maybe 1080/1440p recording). I've always thought my "high" end system would be able to handle both - However, seems not to be the case without losing fps! I've tried multiple methods of bitrate, stream quality from 1080p...

I really appreciate all your comments! I ended up ordering a 3060 on his behalf for him. Good shout! I've NVENCE set as the encoder already in OBS, streaming 720p60. I've a Ryzen 9 5900X w/ ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING.

Thanks! I think that's the card he is going to order :) Some good cashback on that card as well! Via work reward program. Neat! I've a 3070 Ti FE myself and still chasing the 3080 stock ha! I'm seeing a 8GB RX 6600 XT for £469.99 and a Gigabyte 3060 12GB for £489. Double the DDR6 for only...

Sorry for the late responses! Family life. Seems it's now only £449.99. He can reach that. The 3060 will fit in the case as it's a full tower and the HDD cage is fully removed. Thanks! Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 11 (w/ addons if available) I'm seeing the RX 6600 for...

Hi, Posting this on behalf of my friends father. He is borrowing my 8 year old AMD R9 200 sapphire GPU, which struggles to load textures even on Low settings. With his current system in mind what GPU would best suit him? Location: UK GBP Purchase: ASAP Usage: General emails/web browsing and...

Apparently G.Skill isn't that popular in the UK and this memory can only be found on Newegg and want a long shipping period and fee. Any other memory suggestions? Ideally RGB to match cooler :P They've confirmed the pre-installed which comes with the system is 3200MHz CM4X8GD3200C16W4 CL-16...

I was tempted to drop it to a 3900X and save some cash as i heard from other sites 3950x is overkill for my usage? Looking at the G.Skill Ripjaws V prices now (£24 shipping cos Newegg xD). I got the board from: View: https://i.imgur.com/dDUEmQq.png (TUF Gaming X570 in blue is this one outdated?)

Thanks for the response, do you know where you can buy CAS 16? I'm mostly seeing CAS18 for 3600MHz (RGB) and it's £200+
