Thanks, i'll disable all energy saving options and see how it goes but it doesn't look like any of the settings atm should cause the monitor to keep switching off. i reinstalled windows to see if it would fix the problem too. system specs below. Is this particular part possibly to blame, i'm...

My monitor keeps going into energy saving mode so basically it's swtiched off for no reason. the model is this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016QR3NR2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's been a bit of a pain going into energy saving since i bought it (should have asked...

I've ordered the deathadder just because it was heavily discounted, £77 was more than I was intending to pay but it's £100 on most sites, i hope it's a bit firmer on the buttons, if not i have a third backup mouse for the future

Thanks, the mamba does look good, a nice bit more weight and if the buttons are firmer it could be ideal. I can get this for a little bit extra though, i always overthink things XD https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08GCQ5TBJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3IF948IEHZB5R&th=1

Thanks, I had look at your suggestion with the mouse properties but it's more the physical mouse buttons that are the problem. It just takes a very light touch to activate them and with hand tremors it's so easy to click when i don't mean to. I'll have a look through other forum posts and...

I bought a logitech g305 a while ago and it's great. No lag , accurate, good battery life, etc. Unfortunately it has very sensitive buttons imo and because I've got a problem with hand tremors which have got worse recently I often click accidentally. Maybe an unusual request as most gamers...

£1300! i know that a a lot to many ppl but it's a gaming PC fpr me

finally got around to replacing the gpu fans and while the gpu is a bit cooler the voltages are the same. cooler is better though, it is a 5-6 year old PC, ty for the advice

No, but looking at your specs what do you need the extra 8gb for? 16gb RAM in your setup seems a bit much.

Thanks, I did clean out all the fans a few days ago but i'll look into getting new thermal paste, maybe get new fans. I've never tried changing fans and thermal paste on a GPU,but i guess it's basically the same as replacing CPU fans? GPUs are still crazy prices so if i get another year out of...

it should work but won't run at 3200mhz. wait for further advice from people who have tried it tho edit did a quick google. your MB should downclock the memory speed to make it work okay

I know more or less nothing about voltages and rails etc, sorry! I had a case fan (my only case fan) fail quite a long time ago when i noticed my GPU overheating, so replaced the fan asap but a year down the line my monitor occasionaly flickers and the GPU still hits 60-70C degrees even on the...

Thanks, i splashed out and paid almost £11 for an arctic fan :-) it's very quiet and there was definitely something wrong with the old fan as there's a lot more air going through the case now. Guess the old one was going full speed for no reason as you said. Appreciate the help.

Thanks. I think your first suggestion that they were always running full speed seems likely. Guess that's the problem with a cheapish prebuilt PC but it has lasted 4 years :-) My CPU and GPU fans are still going and temps seem fine but I'm not doing much to push either, i'll have a look in the...

Sorry to semi-hijack the thread but I had a noisy fan(s) pretty soon after I bought my prebuilt PC (approx 4 years old now) until a week ago, and now theres' no noise. Using HW monitor it says I have 3 PWM fans at 0% so i'm not sure if they were always idle. Other than that the temps seem ok...
