I would like to see a fusion of mouse, trackpad and mousepad. An all in one device that responds to hand movements and finger taps.

Thank you so much for taking the time to list these sites Brian.

Thanks so much for your time on this one. All seems well now that I have two separate cables attached. Yes, the fan is underneath so not sucking in hot air from the GPU above. I also put some extra feet under the case to bring it up from the desk to get more airflow in.

I can’t upload a picture, but I can confirm that the specifications are identical. The only difference is that the version that you found has CM added to its name. This probably refers to it being modular. All the electrical specs are the same.

I can’t work out how to add a photo of the PSU. Stupid, I know and I’m sure that it’s right in front of me but I’m so tired from work. My son says that since I connected two separate cables to the graphics card instead of one with its jumper cable (sorry if the terminology is wrong) the PC has...

Yes, my version has captive cables which means a mess of extra cable I don’t need in the case. Anyway, I removed the jumper cable to the second connector port on the graphics card and ran a completely separate cable from the PSU. So I have a cable from the PSU marked VGA1 connected to my...

I will take a look when I get home from work. It looks the same, but I’m sure that the cables are captive on my version. Perhaps this is an improved version.

Thanks so much for your extremely clear explanation. I’ll see if there is a spare cable with the PSU to make the connection. The PSU only has captive cables, so not much flexibility. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Yes, the graphics card has two connector ports. At the moment a cable runs from the PSU to one port and has a bridging cable to connect to the other port. It has been suggested elsewhere that it’s best to run two separate power cables from the PSU to the graphics card.

Thanks again for your help Kaamos. Yes, I’ll get a large NVMe and reinstall everything and get rid of the other drives. Hopefully a fresh install should do the trick. This time I won’t install AMD Adrenalin 2020 or whatever it’s called, and I won’t bother with all the Razer optimisation...

Thanks Kaamos, I'll look into Core Temp. Do you think that my CPU is still up to the task, or should I upgrade? Perhaps the Graphics card needs to go. Should I just start with a new motherboard and go from there? Sorry, too many questions.

Thanks for your help Brian.

Thanks for getting back to me Brian. Yes, I quickly realised that the Corsair Link software wasn't displaying correct temperatures. Apparently its only compatible with Intel chipsets! Can you suggest a site where I can download a temperature monitoring app without getting a virus? Yes, we are...

I built two PC's from advice received on a forum just over two years ago. They were supposed to be the best mini ATX builds for £800 each excluding monitor, keyboard and mouse. The specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600 3.90GHz (Socket AM4) Processor GigaByte B450M DS3H Motherboard Team Group...

Putting a smile on someone’s face is a wonderful thing to be able to do.
