Well I've just gotten a confirmation email from Asus saying they'll collect it and provide me with a replacement, but didn't give a date.

Good start so far.

few people have had an address issue with them. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057460631

I just tried checking out without an account and was able to get to through to the payment page with the following:

Delivery address
Mr.
duffman85 duffman85
duffman st 123

Co. Duff dufftown
Ireland
Tel.:

Invoice address
Same as delivery address.

Edit: Ordered from them myself Wednesday the 15th and received my stuff on Tuesday 21st. Made sure everything was in stock when I ordered though.

Seemingly I can only order if I sign out of my HWV account. It is very odd.

I was half wondering if they have run into VAT threshold issues, its the reason that ebuyer stopped shipping here.

Hard to say though at the best of times the website is a bit flakey so it could easily just be gremlins in the machine either.

So Upgraded to efiber yesterday, since having problems with connecting to the network using ethernet cables and homeplugs. It seems only 1 of my 3 plugs will connect at anyone time(limited testing so far).

My W7 pc is telling me the Network is "Unidentified Network"

Anyone else experience this, been fecking around all morning looking for a fix for it

What brand? Did you try pairing then again?

Rebel Rebel

TP Link 500Mbps, have 4, the lights indicate that they connect to a network but no data is been transferred.

Yep tried pairing them

Can you ping other computers on the network? Or the router?

Rebel Rebel

All up and running now again, plugged the Ethernet cable into a different port on the efiber modem and reset all the plugs again, did the trick this time. hope it will stay working now with out having to reset everytime.

Was just about to pull the plug and order a new PC on hardwareversand.de, but I can't find any links to the site on geizhals.de....anyone else having the same problem?
It was working last night...arghh

The prices change and refresh periodically. Plus a you might not necessarily get discount links on every item.

I'd say wait and try later and it should be OK. Most components will get a small discount

Digital Solitude

I'd straight up avoid hwvs for the time being. Use skinflint.co.UK and Amazon or geizhals with the German amazon

frozenfrozen

is geizhals.eu the same thing as skinflint just with prices in euro and language in english?

Digital Solitude

Yeah pretty much. Does Skinflint have EU stores?

Gbear

Woot.

Active adapter worked for the WQHD DVI-D monitor.

50 quid was bloody steep, but it's an awful lot less than a new monitor.

strelok

holy **** that site is going to save me 30 quid on the monitor i want

..Brian..

Woohoo! Maganged to validate 5gz .... prolly not stable but we'll see if my PC is a smoking pile of ruin in the morning!

Digital Solitude

Just trying to see if you can?

Is that 70°C at idle :pac:

..Brian..

Yea for the craic. Might try push 5.1 tomorrow. I had Prime running for a bout 10 minutes to see what temps were like. I'll be running it at 4.5ghz for 24/7 oc.

frozenfrozen

I'd say the day I went messing looking for 5ghz I did some awful long term damage http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2619317

I'm not sure but I suppose it and higher resolutions are supported. It is the newest format so I'm sure they have it well tested.

What method are people using to Overclock their CPU's? Standard BIOS or a program?

I've got my i5-4690K running at 4ghz but pretty sure I can get it up to a stable 4.3 at least.

Bios all the time for me.In general overclocking buttons on mobo's and so some software will use more volts than what is actually needed.

What mobo and cooling have you?
