    HEVC/H.265 Encoding

    You ask for advice & get abuse.... This site used to worth visiting for advice when required but seems like since Kyle & majority of the staff left, it turned to crap. Please delete my account Mods.

    Do you think monitor price reflects Quality?

    Could say the same about all panels BUT you need to remember that a lot of the big brand named panels are just rebadged HiSense or other OEM that supplies the same panels they use in their lower priced own displays to the big brand names who put a premium mark up on the same unit with their badge.

    HEVC/H.265 Encoding

    I am seriously running low om storage at the moment across my Plex servers. I haven't got funds at moment or in the foreseeable to buy larger drives so looking at converting from H.264 to H.265. I know that both the RTX 2070 & the Intel iGPU of the i7 8700 in my desktop are both very efficient...

    Windows 10 seriously!

    Couldn't put it any better. Since W10 was released my phone has been a lot quieter than I can ever recall it being! I would have to say that support calls have halved over previous operating systems. Most are not even for problems nowadays but to find where things have been relocated. I haven't...

    Chieftek is back?

    from memory, i was paying almost £80+VAT for the Antec version at trade in single units & £5 less per unit in 10s. that was with a 300w psu (also from memory). The Cheiftec case wasn't much cheaper if I recall correctly in the UK at the time.

    Windows 10 BSOD after Windows 7 upgrade, please help

    THIS!!!! No matter how much you hate resetting everything up to how you want it, if it means that you get a machine that works instead of flogging a dead horse for weeks on end & getting nowhere. There are times where you need to bite the bullet & just do what is required. You can back up data...

    Getting an ATX power supply (24 pin) to run an old MB

    No, you are incorrect (as Grebuloner has also pointed out in the post before mine so it is way more than "2 machines"). I have worked on thousands of Dell machines over the past 30+ years & have seen non-standard PSU pinouts on motherboards ranging from Socket 7 through to S775 boards. I used to...

    Intel's Plan to beat AMD

    Intel don't need to do anything really to keep afloat as long as they keep providing Apple with processors. The only way Intel would be in any real trouble is if Apple decided to go to AMD for the CPU's - which could happen as the GPU's are generally AMD products in the Pro ranges.

    Getting an ATX power supply (24 pin) to run an old MB

    Was just about to say that Dell have propitiatory pin outs on most of their PSU's & you are lucky that you didn't blow the motherboard protection diodes! Have seen this happen plenty of times in the past with less knowledgeable staff that thought they could take a non-Dell PSU & install it in to...

    Windows 10: Why can't I disable Windows Defender?

    Nor do I as it means more money for me sorting them out locally!!!! I use Defender purely because it comes with the OS. I also routinely run Malwarebytes scans as well & nothing is ever detected. Can't remember the last time I had an infection on any of my own machines or seen MWB or Defender...

    Getting an ATX power supply (24 pin) to run an old MB

    Never had a problem with backwards compatibility back in the day when the 20+4 ATX board connector was launched using it without the additional 4 pin plug connected. I wouldn't have thought it would stop it from firing up with shorting the pins out as you say as done that literally 1000's of...

    Does it have a SATA connector still to power the LED strips ;)

    Super noob question

    Download the files & copy to a USB Stick. Your TV should have a USB port on the side/back of it & select that as the Source (either on the remote itself or from the Media Player that 99% of "SMART" TV's have in them.

    Anyone here old enough to understand this ?

    It didn't (66Mhz) but the people the "joke" is aimed at wouldn't realise that (nor probably would the woman in the cartoon). I was using BBC Micro systems at infant school in the late 70's & remember playing Elite on them in the very early 80's. First DOS based PC clone I worked on (physically...

    PCIe 8X slot Graphics cards

    ok update time. what I ended up doing after giving up with getting the onboard ATI card working with anything other than the Basic Driver, I bought a 8x to 16x connection cable and it still refused to work with a gt640 card I had laying about. Probably not enough power through the socket for it...
