Been to YouTube and taught myself about PBO. Now to do some benchmarking and tweaking. Been ages since I’ve had a new rig to set up like this and it’s a big change from Intel to AMD.
I haven’t worked out in the bios how to do that. Any pointers?
The system is built, for the moment in my old case, but I have a case on the way. The build was easy and I went for a fresh Windows 11 install. Ran a few game benchmarks, getting really good results...
I’ve decided to upgrade my sim racing rig. I’ve ordered a 7800X3D, mobo, 32GB RAM, PSU, 1TB M.2 SSD and a 4070 Super. Everything arrives today.
It’s replacing a 9700k/1080ti rig and will be my...
The i5 2500k is 13 years old. It isn’t worth putting any more money into that system.
Buying direct from Steam, the only LCD model available is the 256GB at £349. The 512GB OLED is £479. It has a massively better screen, better performance thanks to faster memory and longer battery...
I’d go for the Steam Deck OLED and Nvidia GeForce NOW Ultimate. I use it a lot more since getting it at Christmas than my Switch, PS5 and gaming PC. My son uses the Series X almost exclusively.

I’ve mainly played Witcher 3 and don’t notice any latency. I’m sure it’s there but on that type of single player game I wouldn’t be too worried.
They do offer a day pass if you want to try it out.
It’s great because you’re using the virtual machine to do all the heavy lifting. The Steam Deck streams the video output from the internet. I’m seeing big improvements to battery life. I can game...
For the last month I’ve been using GeForce Now Ultimate to play a number of games on my Steam Deck and PC. It’s not cheap (£100 for 6 months) but you do get access to a 4800 rig. It’s working really...
Steam Spring Sale is now on. Lots of bargains to be had.
We’ve stayed twice at “Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake”. The last time was in 2017, so a while ago. We had a large two bed apartment with living area and full kitchen which was great. It’s...
It all comes down to what software she needs to run. A lot of Autodesk products are certified to run with Nvidia Quadro graphics cards, it’s what I was issued when I worked for them. I suggest making...
It’s well worth enabling the new stolen phone protection that locks out changing the passcode and Apple ID password for an hour and requires biometric authentication if you’re not at home/work. Gives...
It is with the 2011 model. There’s a door on the bottom of the case that gives access to the RAM slots.
Witcher 3 is one of the best games I’ve played. I need to play Cyberpunk. That will probably be the first game I play on the Deck.
I really like my Topo Designs Global Travel Bag 30L. I've used it as hand luggage the last few times I've been on holiday, managing to pack around 5 days of clothes in it with judicious packing and...
I got a Steam Deck OLED for Christmas. Been setting it up over the last couple of days. Once it arrived and I'd installed a screen protector, I upgraded the SSD from 512GB to 2TB. This was a little...
My 12.9 iPad Pro lives in a Magic Keyboard. When I want lightness I use the Torro Smart Folio. It’s magnetic which makes it really easy to attach. You can get them on Amazon.

I've been a paying customer of 1Password since 2009. It's an excellent password manager with apps for Android, iOS, MacOS and Windows as well as a web based version. It works on the basis of a single...
I use a Topo Designs Global Travel 30l bag for weekends and carry on duties. I could almost go a week with it.
Get a refurbished MacBook Air with Apple Silicon M2 or M1) from Apple. You get a nice discount and a full warranty.
You’ve said Google OneDrive. OneDrive is a Microsoft service. Google’s cloud drive is just called Google Drive. Which is it you have?
It isn’t tight. I’ve worn it for the last two days with no comfort issues. It is maybe half a link tighter than I’d have a normal watch but that’s needed for the heart monitor. It comes with two half...
I’ve bought from there before so went for it as it was £50 cheaper than the alternative. It is high quality titanium and fits better than any third party strap I’ve used before.
