    Question Are there any compatibility considerations for older m/boards and new NVMe SSDs ?

    Cheers. The board I'm working with atm is an MSI Z170 Gaming M5. It's more a case of "if I can't get hold of an older gen..." issue for a bit of a found PC build or two, or three. I'm just making some PCs for the extended family kids with bits I've got laying around, and adding in new bits...

    Question Are there any compatibility considerations for older m/boards and new NVMe SSDs ?

    Hi, Just as it says really. For example, if I have an older msi 170 or 270 motherboard and then get a gen 4 NVMe SSD, are there any issues since those boards might pre-date the latest gen of NVMe? Thanks as always Phi.

    Question Budget Monitor - Triple Monitor Setup (accustomed to 60hz gaming)

    Hi there, Does anyone have any quick recommendations for a triple monitor set up for a budget PC? It's for my kid sister and she's used to gaming on a 60hz TV so pretty accustomed to input lag and a low refresh. However, obviously improvements are welcome. A good thin bezel would be nice...

    Question Recommend Me a Monitor - Sub £1000

    Yeh that's why I really wish 29" was a thing. That, and 16:10. I really miss that aspect ratio - I've still got a Hanns-G 28" 16:10 that looks great.

    Hi everyone, I bet there are so many of these around now people are sick of it but the market is so saturated and I haven't bought a panel since my BenQ eSports 144hz TN panel like ten years or so back I'm completely out of date despite watching endless reviews and unboxing videos. What I'm...

    Question Alternative to Coolermaster Hyper 212 - - Or even just a better fan

    Thanks all. I just found I have an un-opened Arctic F12 I had left over from a build in my box of bits. Never used. Think it'd be ok over the P12 since I already have it?

    Question Alternative to Coolermaster Hyper 212 - - Or even just a better fan

    Thanks very much for replying :) It cools fine really, it's just making a lot of noise. The fan RPM even under load is very low as the CPU isn't a power hog. I think 2 would be a stretch as it's tight on one side. LEDs - I don't need them it was just an impulse buy lol :) Anything functional...

    Question Alternative to Coolermaster Hyper 212 - - Or even just a better fan

    Hi my very learned and valued PC experts :) Some time ago I bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212 , the LED version for an LGA 1155 . It's working still, but making a racket - it's on a PC I use for a server so value the need for quiet since it's on 24/7 in a room where people sleep. I'm looking...
