Just download it you caveman

Don’t have a pc mate.

Well I do, but it’s in 20 boxes.

 

[Crayola]

Thought you said it was built?

Shitehouse

 

[Ray Gin]

I thought you knew me as well

 

[Crayola]

True you are a Billy bullshitter tbh. Get the b*****d built mate, honestly you'll be sick on PC

Not sure how I’ll fare without the golden aim assist.

You can still cheat on PC. Just use controller.

I've recently moved mine into the H210i, they're decent cases.

The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the included fans, only due to noise though.

The "i" versions come with a built in fan/fairy light hub which I found useful due to using mini itx.

Ive got my own quiet bois to transfer over so not bothered with any fans that come with. I also already have some fairly lights so thats not an issue! Seems a nice looking case for the $

I didn't realise the non-i version of this was so cheap actually. Proper bargain.

My lad wants one for his pc, but with extra fairy lights 😂

One of my mates uses controller on PC and gets on ok, he says the aim assist doesn't work though.

Xim Apex would help with that 🤐

Apparently if you have the FOV set above 107 it stops aim assist working.

Wtf is a xim apex? Sounds like some knock off Chinese phone 😂

 

[Crayola]

I had a Xim Apex so I could use MNK on Xbox

Honestly they're f**king s**t, I spent more time getting everything set up properly that I might as well have just have practiced more with a controller😂😂

For that spec i'd sell you my Samsung 4k monitor for £150
but as above, you'll probably want something 120hz and hdmi 2.1 to make the most of the Ps5

 

[seb]

Ah ok!

any recommendations for 120hz and hdmi 2.1??

 

[N0ddie]

Zero monitors yet with 4k 120Hz and HDMI 2.1. Think March will be when the first batch start to release.

You could just by the 48" LG CX OLED TV?

I've been looking at new monitors for my PC and for the PS5 too. Not having much luck really. There was a LG 27" 4K monitor i was kind of interested in think it was 27UL650 or 27UK650 monitor on Amazon but it's no longer available this was just within the last couple days.

 

[Jason_E]

Much better. Ignore the mole grips.....

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Looking at swapping out my Corsair Harpoon mouse for a Deathadder V2. Any better options available?

 

[Ray Gin]

Still a couple bits to do but you get the idea.

I have a wider IKEA desk, still boxed, in the garage. If I feel a bit cramped (which I probably will) I’ll whack that in for a bit more room.

Best waiting for HDMI 2.1 from what I’ve been reading

@Moonshot what Ikea desk do you have and would you recommend it? I'm looking at this one at the moment

Well... so so

Boots up fine but can’t do anything on the monitor using display port cable....have to use hdmi in order to view bios etc. Will this maybe be rectified once everything’s updated?

No idea mate it’s literally unopened. I’ll check my inbox later to find the model

Yeah I've decided to wait, hopefully PS will release an update for 1440p. Been reading that 1440p is sort of a sweet spot for pc gamers.

Have you installed Windows yet?

If it's not working then once all of the drivers are installed it should be fine. Failing that it could be a dodgy cable.

 

[Daz...]

Also, sounds silly, but you have plugged it into the GPU haven't you?

Yes (at first I didn’t 😂 ) setting up windows now

[N0ddie]

I had an issue where I couldn't get I to the bios for a bit. Changing the DP cable sorted it. Dunno why though.

 

[N0ddie]

Also. Get windows installed and then install your motherboards latest firmware. Do this before all else in case it bricks stuff up during.

 

[N0ddie]

From January 2018:

So after a lot of Googling it appears I'm not alone in this issue.

The issue for you guys not getting a display is a handshaking problem between your GPU and monitor. The only resolution supported by UEFI is 1280X1024. If for some reason your GPU and TV/monitor don't handshake at that resolution, you'll see the splash screen but either get a garbled display or no display in UEFI. You'll also find you're fine when in Windows (for obvious reasons).

There is no fix for this from our side. The GPU VBIOS and monitor native resolution are where the problem lies. If the display you've connected does not handshake correctly with the GPU for whatever reason, it will likely default to its native resolution, and if that's anything other than 1280X1024 you've got a problem displaying UEFI. This happens with some TVs, projectors and monitors with certain GPUs. Older displays are more likely candidates for such problems, as are very high res monitors that use new conections ( DP 1.2 daisy chaining two monitors can create problems) . I suspect a VBIOS update from the GPU vendor might help, but chances of GPU vendors making specific VBIOS versions for this are unlikely. Only workaround is to connect a display that allows you to see UEFI or try using another method of connecting the GPU to the display (DVI instead of HDMI for example). Obviously, the latter is not a guaranteed workaround, as it depends how the display and GPU handshake on that output, too.

Problem seems to have appeared only after the 2nd last Nvidia driver update and the latest one didn't resolve it. So now if I want to enter the BIOS I've gotta plug the PC into the wee man's Xbox One S TV. Its not ideal but perfectly manageable.

Are you using the supplied displayport cable?

 

[Ray Gin]

Are you using the supplied displayport cable?

Yes. Changed to hdmi now though and working ok. Would I benefit much from using display port instead?

Also, I was wondering why my 2TB sata m.2 SSD wasn’t showing up anywhere. After googling/YouTubing and remote help from a mate, the issue is with the m.2 slots on the board (did think it needed initialising in disk management, but it was nowhere to be seen, same in bios).

Only 1 slot supports both nvme and sata m.2, whilst the other only supports nvme. I must have them in the wrong way about (hopefully).
