Bit low spec isn't it?

I wouldn’t have bought anything without the RAM tbh. Your warranty is whittling away whilst not getting any use out of any of it. It could be months before you are able to get DDR5.
Also, unless you get the greater than 7000 kit good DDR4 is just as good but for a fraction of the cost

I've just ended up getting 16GB from eBay for £200 as a temporary measure. Not ideal, but will tie me over until the one I want is available 🙂
NIGHTMARE
So I started building my PC Xmas Eve, just did the Motherboard, Case, M2 and Processor and left it all on the living room floor. Went up my sisters for Xmas etc, all good. Come home today and the PC has a sticky liquid residue all over it I think it's cat spray as I noticed a tomcat in my house last week that shouldn't have been there. It doesn't smell though?
Has a cat really pissed on my new PC?!
Best course of action? Eletronics cleaner and a proper dry out?

If it’s sticky, could it be snails [emoji1785][emoji2961]
Nah mate, it's drops not lines. I'm pretty sure a cat has sprayed it, there's no leaks on the ceiling or anything

Looks good so far. I especially like the middle finger to the "don't build on carpet" folks by purposely building it on the tiny postage stamp sized rug 😂
Haha static in the rug is the least of my worries mate 😂

Back when I was doing more work in SQL Management Studio I ran a dedicated monitor in portrait mode. I absolutely loved it. Have since downsized from 3 screens to 2 now so have gone back to both being in landscape.So, after owning various PCs over 29 years and working in IT for the last 24 of those - I recently tried using a monitor in portrait mode. O...M...G.
This was purely through necessity - in having three work monitors at home on a fairly short desk. But now that I've done this - I'm finding it to be my primary monitor. So many apps look and 'feel' better in this mode - Outlook, Teams and certainly Excel. As below, the forum is great too.
Nothing like being late to the party, eh? I feel like I've been doing the IT equivalent of driving automatics for all those years and have just discovered manual gearboxes.

Because it's my favourite film, it's hand painted 😎
Used electrical cleaner mate and just hoping for the best tomorrow when I pick the cooler and RAM up from Royal Mail. It's weird spraying liquid onto such expensive things but had to be done!
Anyway what's wrong with my rug? 😂

This stuff is great (if a cat pisses on your pc again):
You can really drench electronics in it then dry off with a hair dryer.

I very nearly jumped into the world of owning a Mac back in '93 when I saw that the library at uni was setup with a large number of them to do work on.
I don't think until that point, I'd seen a functioning portrait setup - but this clearly worked. Perhaps the only reason why I didn't follow it up was through buying my first PC less than a year before - sporting a MASSIVE 14" CRT monitor.

All this time I've been happy with my PC. New releases haven't bothered it at all, playing games on high instead of ultra basically looks the same and keeps my frame rates playable...
Then I downloaded Minecraft for my daughter.
Thought it might be cool to add a couple of mods to make the game look a bit better for her as she's used to playing it on her tablet, and got a bit carried away.
Went from over 800fps in vanilla
To less than 60 with a couple of mods 😂

Yeah the Corsair iCue software lets you customise the RGB or turn it off. I’m

Yes mate absolutely. You can fully customise it to whatever colour you want or none.
I really don't get the RGB hate though 'cause I absolutely love it

Really? I turn all the RGB shite off the moment anything like this arrives... I think if I was 14 I would probably be all for the RGB but now it just distracts me from whatever I'm trying to do.Yes mate absolutely. You can fully customise it to whatever colour you want or none.

You're missing out on extra frames mate!

Don’t have a massive reason to but have an itch to upgrade to a newer cpu.
Currently running a 7700k, tempted by swapping for a new ddr4 mobo and 12700k.
The extra cores might help me out with time taken for video encoding, but other than that I have no real reason to upgrade other than I want to 😂
Cost wise it’s not too bad as it’s just mobo and cpu, will reuse existing ram, name drives etc, and guess I can sell the 7700k and old mobo for a few quid to get some money back.
I only game at 1080p, and pretty much only play League of Legends or Warzone on a GTX 1080 which is holding up just fine.
It’s crammed into a small NCase M1 chassis, also fancy rethinking how everything is cooled in there to see if there’s a better way of doing it.
This is all if I ever get the time to actually do anything.
