    which is better: dust filter material sheet or buy the actual fan filter? And why aluminum filter?

    Happy Hopping What mesh size did you decide on in the end? I want filter for the top of my Phanteks X... DEMCiflex make a custom filter, but it's $30 after shipping to the UK, and might jump to $40 if I get a import/customs charge, so I'm looking at making my own since a 1 metre roll of nylon is...

    Games are all .exe, primarily Fortnite and Overwatch, hence my thinking to use Local Group Policy to disable/restrict. Is Local Group Policy the best/easiest method?

    How best to setup additional user account in Win 10 for kids' homework?

    My son has started secondary school and needs to use the family computer for homework now, however, the temptation of playing games is a bit too strong for him! Currently I have Win 10 Pro with a single account (that we all use) that is password protected to first sign in, but no password when...

    Xiaomi Reveals 64-Bit Surge S1 Chipset, Its First-Ever SoC

    Honestly, I'm disappointed to see some of the comments here. To the best of my knowledge, Xiaomi is a privately owned company, not state owned. To assume they are in collusion with absolutely no proof is unreasonable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaomi...

    Lexmark printer - have I made a mistake?

    Anyone with experience of the Lexmark inkjet printers? Reviews around the web say that text and graphics print well, but opinions on photo printing is mixed. I've had Epson and Canon before... Epson was OK, but preferred Canon... but not convinced by the last one playing up. I've used a lot of...

    Lexmark printer - have I made a mistake?

    I'm looking for a little reassurance here, though I'm afraid that I might not like the response I get! :confused: My Canon Pixma IP5000 printer was brilliant for the first 2 years, then I got major banding issues and blue streaks across photos... I think the print head is dead. After putting...

    Auzentech Forte Driver version 1.1 Released

    No, I'm not joking! Actually, the release notes say that Automode settings have been fixed, whereas none of my settings, including Automode, are retained. Also, auto-mute does not work with the rear jack; however, if you have both speakers and headphones in the back then if you select 'Optimize...

    DDR3 1333 or 1600 for core i7

    Going back to the original question of DDR3-1333 vs 1600, I've decided that 1333 should be enough. Check out this thread that I started at OcUK. To summarise, the 920 has a locked multi of 20. A BLCK of 200 would give a CPU frequency of 4 GHz (this is an optimistic overclock). With a 8x...

    BIOS update from HDD, FDD or DVD?

    I'm planning on flashing the BIOS on my Abit NF7-S V2.0 with a simultaneous update of the SiI3112 SATA controller firmware. Previously, when I used to regularly do BIOS flashes, I used to run from the HDD, as I don't have a floppy drive connected right now and I think the HDD is more reliable...

    AMD and PCI-E ?

    Does anyone know when AMD mobos are expected to adopt PCI-E? I guess I'm with many thinking about getting a new graphics card know, but maybe upgrade CPU and mobo in 6-12 months, but am concerned over compatibility (ie AGP vs PCI-E). Anyone heard any rumours regarding this?

    I am looking at Anti-Spam software, and after reading several roundups have realised that there does not seem to be a clear leader in the pack. I seem to be drawn to Qurb and Spam Inspector 4.0 ... does anyone have any experience with either of these. It will be used on my home PC using...
