    Locating app games on a new install of Windows 10?

    Hello, I never installed it to the OS in the first place, all the files are located on a separate drive. With stuff like Overwatch and Steam games I can just locate the games without needing to re-download them again. I was just wondering if this was possible with UWP games in my circumstances...

    Locating app games on a new install of Windows 10?

    Hello, Basically I had to swap motherboards recently so I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 10. I have Gears of War saved onto my storage drive as I'm only using a 250gb SSD for Windows so I didn't want to put it there. I can still see the download for Gears of War 4 in my storage drive...

    Front panel power LED turns off once Windows has booted

    Hello, I'm having an issue with the MSI Z170A Gaming M7 motherboard and Evolv ATX case where I've correctly inserted all front panel connectors and the HDD LED works, power button and reset button work fine, however, for some reason the Power LED only seems to turn on whilst the system is...

    Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 OR Dark Rock 3

    Hello, I currently have a Dark Rock PRO 3 that I ordered from Amazon last week. I'm happy with the aesthetic, temps AND noise for the most part, however there is a slight squeal with the 120mm fan and a manufacturing defect with the top aluminium plate on the cooler (scratched, scuffed) so I'll...

    Looking for a high quality compact ATX case

    I'll be honest I've looked at the 303 and 805. Both are very nice aesthetically and I'm sure the build quality is really good. But the airflow of the 805 is what stopped me picking it up in the past, just like the 904. I must say though the 303 ticks almost all the boxes, I just don't like how...

    Looking for a high quality compact ATX case

    Thanks for the reply, I've had the Define R5 before and I wasn't too impressed, the other two cases may be good but they don't quite fit my taste, I'd prefer a Window on the side with very high build quality, preferably aluminium. It'll be hard to actually find anything at the level at the Evolv...

    Looking for a high quality compact ATX case

    Hello, I'm currently using a Phanteks Evolv ATX case and I love everything about the case, except the one problem I have with it. It's size. It's simply way too big for what I actually need. I don't plan on doing custom liquid cooling (although I do currently have a 240mm AIO) and I'm looking...

    Which would be the best watercooling kit out of these two?

    Think I'll be going for EK then. So for draining I'd just make sure I have a bowl or something to catch the coolant and place it under the lowest point of the loop? How exactly would I clean the loop though?

    Which would be the best watercooling kit out of these two?

    I believe the one from Scan has better warranty

    EK wb cpu watercooling block instalation. Have i done it wrong?

    I'm no expert with that water block, but yes, it seems very likely that this is because you have not installed the BAS washer. From what I can tell, the BAS washer is used to stop direct metal-on-metal contact from the motherboard circuitry/solder to the backplate bracket. This works because the...

    Sometimes when I turn my PC off it keeps running power to the fans, motherboard and GPU LED and doesn't stop the fans running?

    Yeah, I've tried all those things. I work in tech support so it took a while for me to even consider asking the manufacturer. Just did a BIOS flashback and I'm still having one of the issues I had before, but I've not shut the system off yet, so if it's still holding power and running the fans...

    Sometimes when I turn my PC off it keeps running power to the fans, motherboard and GPU LED and doesn't stop the fans running?

    Was in contact with ASUS support about this and they told me to flash the BIOS and that it's likely a bug. I haven't done it yet but the fact I've updated the BIOS about 4 times since release and it still hasn't solved the issue kind of makes me think USB Flashback won't do much. On top of that...

    Sometimes when I turn my PC off it keeps running power to the fans, motherboard and GPU LED and doesn't stop the fans running?

    I've tried 3 different power supplies, a Corsair HX850i, which kept making a whine noise so I got it RMA'd then the second HX850i, then when that kept making a whine noise I got a EVGA SuperNova 850 P2. The HX850i was running with different a different motherboard at the time it made the whine...
