    [SOLVED] [Akai Smart CTV5584] Can't find headphone jack on this TV, only a PC Audio In (both are listed in specifications though)

    Hi there, I appreciate you looking into it. That's annoying, this TV's not turning out to be very smart then! Have you seen it saying it has Bluetooth? I couldn't find anything in the settings about Bluetooth because the soundbar does have bluetooth as well I just thought for delays and things...

    [SOLVED] [Akai Smart CTV5584] Can't find headphone jack on this TV, only a PC Audio In (both are listed in specifications though)

    Hi all, My mum has this TV and I got her a soundbar for it which has an optical and a 3.5mm headphone output. I tested it at mine on my TV and with a phone and it works perfectly through the headphone jack but on this TV, I can only find a "PC Audio In" that looks like 3.5mm audio but when I...

    Is an overclocked GPU that is occassionally flickering harmful or a sign of damage?

    Thanks for the replies guys, that's what I wanted to hear. The thing is, 2-3 frames is about 20-30% of the overclock. The flickers are more rare than the stutters, at least to me anyway. Maybe I'll try dial it back a touch but I just wanted to confirm that I haven't been killing the card just...

    Is an overclocked GPU that is occassionally flickering harmful or a sign of damage?

    I must have forgotten to mention that this only happens when I'm running the overclock. Everything goes back to normal when I go back to stock.

    Is an overclocked GPU that is occassionally flickering harmful or a sign of damage?

    I occassionally put this overclock of my GTX 970 on to run specific games: Power Limit: +10% Core Clock: +196MHz Memory Clock: +294MHz Temp. Limit: 80 With the extra frames, it also delivers some weird flickers and lighting bugs which maybe only occurs a couple of times a minute. I've found...

    Avoid the Dark Rock Pro 3 at all costs | My impressions/review of it | Who's it for?

    I forgot about this, glad it helped you Ralph, none of this was ever mentioned in the reviews I looked at! Anyway, the irony is that it turns out I hadn't plugged in a crucial power cable... because the socket was tucked under the cooler. I had fed the wire through and tucked it where it needed...

    Avoid the Dark Rock Pro 3 at all costs | My impressions/review of it | Who's it for?

    This weekend was my first attempt at a proper PC build, prior to this I've only ever done graphics cards, drives, new paste on the stock heatsink, cleaning the dust out, that sort of thing. In thenew build I had to replace the motherboard, CPU, heatsink and RAM, all of which were a doddle...

Not only is it a pain to...

    Will Corsair Vengeance LED Ram Fit Alongside the BeQuiet! Dark Rock 3 Cooler on the GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming K3?

    I decided to just buy the low profile RAM and return the taller LGB RAM (that was slightly cheaper) which has cost me at least a day, if not the whole weekend, before I can build and £10 shipping... A big shout out to all of the fourteen year olds who've collectively shifted suppliers' focuses...

    Will Corsair Vengeance LED Ram Fit Alongside the BeQuiet! Dark Rock 3 Cooler on the GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming K3?

    [Build Help] Planning an Upgrade, Switching to Intel, What CPU, MOBO & Cooler Should I Get?

    Aria's amazing. Got a better heatsink and it's still cheaper than getting them all elsewhere. i5 8600K 16GB Corsair 2666MHz RAM Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 Gigabyte Z370 AUROS Gaming K3 (Matt's choice) = £555.49 inc. shipping The MOBO I had picked out before isn't on Aria so if there's no...
