Current connection I have to put up with via 3G hotspot WiFi is terrible where I live and have no option to upgrade the router, we do have extenders but they make little to no difference. 4G signal is intermittent at best, and my hotspot doesn't support 5G :p

Thanks for the tip! We're ideally looking to keep the budget as close to £700 as possible, but after looking at the 3600, being only £25 more expensive is a good shout, what ram speed would you recommend, at least 3000Mhz?

Hi guys, I've been out of the PC building game now for a few years and looking at building a new PC for a friend with a budget of £700 with the sole purpose of gaming, there's no preference of Intel/AMD & AMD/nVidia but looking to be able to play games to up to at least 2017, Ideally with a bit...

No, only K series CPU's can be overclocked

As well as what others have suggested, if for some reason you can't retask the ports, and the splitter doesn't do what you need, a USB sound card would do the trick, providing you get a surround capable card. That would get rid of the internal sound card limitation issue. Something like this -...

Hi guys, I'm doing a job for a family members friend, who is partially deaf and needs a way to connect some wireless headphones to his TV without muting the internal TV speakers, so that his wife can still hear the TV. He wants to be able to control the volume levels on the TV and headphones...

Nicely explained Tim

Drive powered back up without issue, I then connected the data cable, the drive read and wrote fine, ran an error check with no issues as well as checked out the smart status which shows 0 issues too, I will be backing up as soon as I can get a spare drive, are there any other tools to check the...

It will not make a difference where you plug the drives in, the BIOS will still boot from the drive specified as it's not port specific but drive specific. As long as the bios sees the boot drive after the transplant then it will try and boot from it

The foam padding piece is now totally dry, I left it outside in the sun, and is no longer sticky, and I also picked up a fresh bottle of surgical spirit/rubbing alcohol at the chemist which was rated at 95% alcohol, I've cleaned down the board with a cotton bud dipped in the spirit and also...

Thanks, just washed that now and letting it sit to dry, the drive was off at the time as it was in my bag, and I'm pretty confident I can clean the pcb down, I may get lucky and have not had any kind of splashes enter the HDD vent hole, it doesn't look like any did but I will find out soon! This...

I agree with john, even if the TV does pick up the webcams video feed, you'll have a hell of a time trying to send the feed over the network using the TV's network connection, as there's no way to install any kind of drivers for the device or select any networking functions

Thanks for the replies so far chaps, I've got the board off and it's pretty dry but still a bit sticky. There was a foam padding insert behind the drive which is very sticky and still damp, I can try and dry this out but I don't think it'll get all the cider gunk out, is it worth washing it with...

Thanks Shlouski, the data isn't important no, it's just a few TB of steam games & saves which I can recover some of through the cloud, certainly not worth spending a few hundred pounds to recover from a specialist. I will try as we thought and take the DIY method to recover the drive myself, if...

Hi guys, well the time has finally come, after all these months of me carrying my storage drive in my bag between houses that an accident has happened. To cut a long story short the strap on my bag broke, a can of cider split/exploded in the bag and covered the drive in all its great wetness...

In that case you've not got to worry about upgrading, it's still a perfectly good system for daily tasks, and will easily run Windows 10 if you ever need to upgrade due to software restrictions. With good temperatures and occasional dusting that system should easily cope well for another 2-5...

You could easily see another few years out of the system depending on its usage. The seagate constellation I cannot comment on without knowing how much you paid for it whether it was a worthwhile purchase, but the name does suggest it would be a more durable drive than a mainstream one. What is...
