The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

[R3k1355]

Aye, so long as they don't take the piss with prices.

 

[R3k1355]

OverClockers have some prices up, 4070 Super at £600, not bad at all.

4070Ti Super............a grand!?!?! A f**king grand!?!?!

They list a 4080 at the exact same price, to the penny!!!!!! What is it with the Ti card for the 4070 being terrible value for money?

We usually get shafted on prices in the UK, especially early on after launches. It's usually a $1=£1 conversion and I wonder if UK retailers don't get rebates for price cuts on existing stock, so keep the prices high initially to shift the existing stock. Or Overclockers just shaft everyone, probably the most likely story.

Scan are as bad at times.

Bought some active speakers so I don't have to use the appalling built-in speakers in my monitor. If I'm playing by myself I usually use headphones, but sometimes I let the kids play on there instead of through the TV and needed something less s**t.

Nice amp. I have the white one

It's a great bit of kit, unfortunately it doesn't make me play any better 🤣

 

[Wilkeh]

It's a block kitchen countertop that I had cut to length since it's 2.2m long

The legs are then just tapped into the bottom with long wood screws. Legs are from Hairpin Leg Co I think it was.

Hey mate. I'm thinking of doing the same as you for a new PC desk. Any bowing in the middle at all? What thickness did you get? I've seen a worktop which is 2000mm x 720mm x 27mm but was worried about it bowing in the middle a bit.

Hi mate, I got 40mm since I was having such a long desk with no middle support. The PC is directly over one of the legs though, so that helps

Managed to pick the 4070Ti Super up with some Scan vouchers and leftover Christmas money.

I’m a slag for Strix cards so the 3080 Super wasn’t worth the extra for me (another £250 or so) Really happy with it.

 

[Wilkeh]

New case set up recently, thoughts? I love it personally, but understand it's a complete gimmick

Just need a bigger desk now as it's all a bit crammed. It's currently 1.8m but I'm getting a 2.2m one soon,so should look a lot better.

If anyone is currently doing a build I have my old case for sale if you want it. It's this beaut - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian...ied-aluminium-full-tower-black-ca-77k-ll.html - Also comes with the vertical GPU mount which was an extra £50. I'm only after £100 for it all, £240 RRP!

 

[SharkyUK]

I nearly went for the same case but the screen was just a little too OTT for me, hence went with the Lian Li XL Evo. Looks great though.

Cracking deal on the old case! I'm tempted even though I don't need a case! I have an nVidia RTX 3090 and 860W PSU for sale I could stick in there. 😂

 

[R3k1355]

That screen will defend your virginity for many years to come.

 

[Wilkeh]

You're not wrong mate, and the 10,000 hours I'm coming up to on Dota

Summed it up perfectly for me 👍

It looks like they may release one without the screen which could be tempting. The case itself is gorgeous

 

[Maccy]

People still listen to Marilyn Manson?!

 

[Waitey]

People still listen to Marilyn Manson?!

Virgins.

 

[Wilkeh]

Whoa, what's with the personal attacks folks!?

I listen to absolutely everything except rap music. My playlist will go from Marilyn Manson and then on to Kenny Rogers, I f**king love it.

 

[R3k1355]

Virgins.

Marilyn Manson died ages ago. Nicholas Cage has been playing Manson since, cos he's broke and needs the money.

I thought everyone knew that?

 

[Wilkeh]

Bloody hell I can't unsee that now!

That the guy who got his ribs removed so he could suck his own c**k?

Are you any good at it yet though?

Absolutely not!

Think it might have been Prince actually.

Anyway, I’m currently screwing this together. Looking forward to joining the master race.

Ryzen 5 7600
RTX 4070 super

 

[R3k1355]

Very nice, have been considering a 4070 Super as well. Unless AMD pull their finger out and discount their current cards.

Scrub that, i am going to have this, fancied a PC for a while

 

[SharkyUK]

Upgrade time again!

 

[Ray Gin]

I’m going for the ASUS ROG Ally.

Before I do, has anyone seen it cheaper than £500 anywhere? 👌🏻

 

[Daz...]

Anyone interested in a 4060? My stepson has one for sale, only opened to test it.

It’s this one -

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 AERO OC 8GB Graphics Card - GV-N4060AERO OC-8GD

Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and full ray tracing

www.awd-it.co.uk

I think he wants as close to £300 as he can get for it.

 

[R3k1355]

For a card you can buy new for under £280?

I’ve not looked tbh, but if someone makes an offer then I’ll let him know.

Let me know how you get on with it, I’ve been looking at them but not taken the plunge. Best I could find was £535ish.

Will link you a deal later to the £500 one I saw.

 

[Ray Gin]

Treated myself to the Asus ROG Ally along with a pair of AirPods. Much excite.

It’s here and it’s beautiful

In its natural habitat (charging)

And the moneyshot (dat rgb)

 

[McGherkin]

Needed to update my computer setup as my old Sidewinder keyboard was on the edge of losing its cable and the scroll wheel on my mouse was going on the blink.

Ended up going for a Keychron K10 Pro for the keyboard and M3 for the mouse, very happy with both.

Very tempted to get a Moza R9 with the ES wheel but I think that’s a bit much.

 

[Ray Gin]

Any SSD recommendations for the Ally? 2TB ideally. An SSD and a carry bag and I’m good to go.
