Na cheaper than £120 na not a good idea and the 8700k will be short lived on z370 anyway add to which the 8700k when oc'd to 5ghz consumes 145w+ and those extra cores and threads are wasted and not needed for gaming, now that zen 2 is out intel will push z390 faster and there 8 core to take back the top spot, nuking the z370 in the process. This way I get a high end board big overclocks while staying around 100w and not wasting any of the chip, also worth note that due to the extra cores the 8700k's chip latency is a touch higher, every bench has the 7700k up there in gaming still managing to steal the top spot in some cases. The only problem is until recently very few people pushed ddr speed and timings all of which came into the spotlight with ryzen, not many will have been running a 7700k at 5ghz with 4000mhz ram, and tight timings showing even more extra perf on the 7700k. Besids z370 is just a z270 rebrand it adds nothing in-fact even the imc in both chips are the same as is the ipc, if I wanted cores and threads I'd go ryzen not a 12 thread intel that's about to be nuked, but thx I do know you really like intel though.

I'd still suggest going for the 8700k and buying a cheaper motherboard...

Still easy to delid and oc a 7700k with fast ram & tight timings, your not running into any bottlenecks any time soon and you gat a very fast general pc that will do anything except render, nobody apart from renderers need more than 16gb let alone 32gb, plenty of pci slots, dual m.2, power/reset/debug/ln2/dual bios/solid vrm effective heasinks, £120 lol easy.

Yep, good for those looking for a board upgrade though

Are you serious lol

Not 100% sure what you're asking. But these are 128 micro sdcard that were both more expensive a few months ago. https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-MB-MC128GA-AMZ-MicroSD-Adapter/product/B06XFX9N84?context=search https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-Mobile-UK-MicroSD-Adapter/product/B06XFHQGB9?context=search

I'm after a 128gb card from Amazon. Can anyone tell me if that's been any cheaper on Amazon than what it is at the mo? Think it's £33.95 I know mymemory is cheaper but I have some credit for Amazon. Thanks

Wow..... Im not ready yet to buy but I think when SanDisk hit 70 I'll upgrade my 2 200s

No, always posting cheapest option

Yeah, we are all waiting for Picard...

sorry these are all irrelevant - come back when you have picard approved applications

Pretty much maxed out my 128GB in my phone, so I guess that's a good place to start :D

Well to chime in I have a nintendo switch that would greatly benefit from one of these. Currently has 128gb and its full and its not the most practical thing to be changing SD cards when u want to switch game. Having all on one would be best

Unless your commute is from to London to China, I doubt that you even listen to 1% of those 180GB worth of songs.....

brilly wrote: well obviously someone buying a 256gb card needs 256gb so how else are you going to make that out of two 128gb cards? What device needs a 256GB microSD card. Ok. I will bite. I can store my 180GB+ music library on my phone, stick some videos on there for my commute and still have ample space for other things I don’t want to store in the cloud/access offline

Have vip pay 85 a month. (did get 350 cash back when joined) it's up now so going to £125 called to cancle was offered it for £90 not cool. Top cash back have a £250 cash back offer on atm if it helps anyone

Ok. So cancellation team called. I got: 200mb Full house TV Phone Anytime V6 box 12 month contract 52pcm First month half price

NNot happy at all with these Parents are paying £96 a month for Vivid 200, anytime calls and mid tv package. Rang yesterday and they could only offer the basic TV package, Vivid 200 and anytime calls for £56 a month with new V6 box and new hub (free installation). We agreed anyway. I've looked today and they've lowered the broadband to Vivid 100! Not at all what I agreed to yesterday! I've just rang up to complain and they won't budge. They want an extra £5 a month to go back to Vivid 200. I told them to listen to the call from yesterday to which they say it's random and the person who i dealt with yesterday may have made a mistake and meant vivid 100 (?!). After some moaning from me they then offered £61 a month but with £50 credit on the 5th bill. They said that will bring the bill down to £56 on average, but I wasn't having it, it's not the point after I agreed to Vivid 200 yesterday. I told them I want to put a complaint in and they said they will ring back in 2 days. We have VM coming today to fit the new hub and V6 box. Any idea's what I should do? Say I want to cancel if they don't resolve it when (if) they ring?

I’ve got 200 mb broadband, full house tv inc bt sport and weekend calls for £40 per month (y)

Fully intend to. Sick of being conned by them

I've got a Asus 1060 6bg and Evga SC 1050ti 4gb in two different machines, wish I hadn't bothered with the 1060 as the 1050ti 4gb plays everything and anything I can throw at it at 1080p and has really impressed me, a 1060 for the money isn't a good buy the 6gb is the biggest con as it's only between 3 to 7% better than the 3gb and both are not quite good enough for 4k or 1440p and never will be - a 4gb 1050ti for cheaper will do all you need at 1080p for now. In my opinion the sensible choice would be a cheap bargain 3gb 1060 if you can find one or low priced 1050ti for now until prices get better - as I understand it the 6gb 1060 isn't powerful enough to really make use of all of it's 6gb of ram anyway and the small difference in performance just isn't worth the money. A good example is the 960 2gb and 4gb 3-4 years on and the difference is still minimal between them.

Normal price

Thanks, amazing my memory still works (y)

it has less cuda cores

Surely it should?

Didn't work with my Ryzen 1600X so beware.

Ive bought quite a bit from ebuyer, including (some years ago), 4 drives, one of which was DOA. I rang them, and we agreed they'd ship another while I RMA'ed the failed one. No paperwork, no waiting/testing the DOA one. Couldnt be happier ...

Thanks, it sounds like they have made their returns policy a lot better since my last experience. I was returning a DVD player that basically started to melt after 30 minutes of use; even though it had only been delivered that day, they insisted it would have to be sent for testing, and that the testing would take SEVEN WEEKS MINIMUM, before I could have a refund or replacement. This was of course, before the DSR came into law.

- SLI capable - Better power delivery, so when paired with a good cooler, will be able to overvolt higher for absolute max overclock. For most, the answer is no.

These boards are for OEM bulk (company/business orders) buy. The few pounds you save compared to a B360 are not worth it. Do not buy this board for a budget gaming rig, go for B360 and do yourself a favour guys or at least do some research and don't miss out on features you might want for another £5-£10.

You can get a B360 for less than £60; there's really no sense in getting an H310 board. Though unless you're already committed to Intel's 8th gen, I think it'd be prudent to see how the Ryzen refresh shapes up; they might obsolete the i5 8400 at its current price point.

I have had a bad experience with Ebuyer too. If you have any issues and need to claim warranty, you will receive a partial refund. They will avoid at all cost to give you a replacement if the item has any issues over 6 months. AVOID the bad customer service and shop somewhere else.

i5 8400 even.. great bang for buck

Got all excited then saw the supplier... enough said on other items

You're missing the point on warranty. If a use, for example dash cam, isn't specifically excluded from warranty on the retail package, or a reference made to a specific location for terms of the warranty excluding specific uses, the manufacturer cannot void the warranty if you claim. Of course, the danger of terms on a website is that they can be changed after you've purchased the item.

I'd like to see how the manufactures thought about sticking that information issue in the warranty, "we haven't got no evidence that cards fail in these devices, shall we just put that in the warranty on the packet anyway? Well I'm going on my experience anyway nevermind what u need to see or not, one card with little use in a gopro hero, second card is intermittently showing the same issue both Samsung EVO 32gb micro sd's not warrantied or recommended by their manufacturer for the purpose I used them for.

I'm not disputing that. Faults occur and things break down. What I said was "I've yet to see any real data supporting the lower risk". Individual failures, annoying as they are, don't give any real information on reliability. The other thing you need to check with cards that have been used in dash cams is whether they've been locked by the dash cam sensing a collision and protecting the data. That can go wrong and glitch the whole card as well.

what happened to mine and what others said 'does' happen, the card write protects itself to lock the last data recorded, I could not delete or format the card. The info was there for all to see!?

I've yet to see any real data supporting the lower risk. Also, there are so many factors involved regarding use of cards - which dash cam, actual usage, regularly wiped/formatted, genuine or fake card - that it would be well nigh impossible to get real data. How many people claim under warranty? Probably very few given cost coupled with the throw away society we live in. I'm not convinced on the legality of manufacturers' voiding warranty for cards used in dash cams. It could be that the lack of any high visibility warning on the retail packaging could undermine their small print hidden away somewhere on a website exclusion. How do they prove it was used on a dash cam anyway?

You do realise there's other vulnerabilities which exist to elevate your rights up to admin? So the point is sort of redundant.

I disagree they are 'low level and far less serious'. The simple fact there are so many different exploits available is very disturbing.

Who said AMD could do no wrong? Yes these vulnerabilities are there, BUT they are low level and far less serious than the report made out.

No, it's not. And that's why all the tech sites covered it, because it was a legitimate issue. To wave it off as if AMD can do no wrong is just bias flowing.

The whole piece was a hit job on AMD to drive shares down in the short term, and to repeat the claims in the report is just plain stupid.

They have consistently kept each motherboard compatible with exactly 2 generations of CPUs. I would expect a similar concept for this going forward. It is the same chipset, but the base motherboard specs for it were insufficient to cope with 6 physical cores of power. Many of the good motherboards had enough power to handle the jump to 6, but instead of letting people find out the hard way -- Your motherboard doesn't support the increase in power requirements, they simply didn't allow it to happen. Most people don't upgrade their CPUs within 2 generations of CPU time anyway, so it's not really much of a concern to most. If you are constantly upgrading to the latest and greatest, I'm sure this is annoying.

It's absurd that Intel doesn't support the 8th gen on the Z170 and 270 chipsets, considering they use the same socket. Was hoping for a simple BIOS update so I could stick a coffee lake into my main rig.

No

Does this support i5-8th gen?

I bought this last year for my new build, excellent motherboard.

Lots of Mobo's with cpu built on...??

Can I plug a gtx 1080Ti into this? 😝

Good deal for a soc system. Shamr it has realtek NIC

Ahhh should have read the next line down ;) Thanks Gav

You can use 8gb modules as long as you are using a 64bit os.

Sorry for late reply didn't get a notification that you replied. Just had a look and there's really not too many great deals at the moment, everything is around £100+ (for the micro ATX and ITX boards anyway). Annoyingly it's only full size ATX that seems to be cheaper at the moment. Presumably your case cannot fit a full ATX board? Otherwise I'd say just get the cheapest you can find: something like this : https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-PRIME-Z270M-Plus-LGA1151-Motherboard/dp/B01N1Q2P77 Worth checking eBay too, although from a quick look can't see much on there right now myself. Like I said though with Z170 and Z270 boards you can pretty much just get the cheapest you can find as they are all very similar from all manufacturers (aside from aesthetics & sometimes a few additional features) so just search Z170 MATX, Z170 ITX, Z270 MATX and Z270 ITX & see what comes up Hope that helps

Can you recommend anything? Thanks

There is definitely an MATX version of this board because I own one myself. Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA-Z270M-D3H-M-ATX-1151-Motherboard/dp/B01N9IGECC More expensive though and not particularly good value at ~£110 I would just get the cheapest MATX or ITX board that's Z270 or Z170 chipset and you'll be fine as they're all much for muchness, features aside

Does anyone know if theres a micro ATX version of this? Im after a new board for my living room SFF build and need a decent but not too expensive board. Being out of the game for a while im unsure on what to go for. My specs are I7 6700K cpu DDR 4 RAM GTX 1070 Any help would be great Thanks

Whats the latest on mining? 8)

That can happen with quite a few SD cards. Not sure why - quite possibly a quirk of Android or the phone. Format it to portable storage first, restart, then format it as internal memory.

Good reliable card. Not the fastest but unless you're shooting 4K/60 or over 30Mbps, it's fine for most people who put a high value on card reliability and longevity.

17.09 now. 😞

Any good for dashcam?

put one of these in my new Moto G5S Plus and started formatting it as Internal memory. The phone stopped at 40% and warned me that the card was slow. The recommended cards are U1 not U3. Got myself a SanDisk 64GB Ultra Micro SD Card (SDXC) UHS-I A1 and that's fine. I think the A1 refers to compatability with mobile apps.

Think this is about £10 cheaper than you can buy individually. Nice deal but with Ryzen 2 only a month away I can see the 1600 coming down in price on its own- if you wanted to wait a few weeks you might save overall. Good deal though.

No section 75 to back it up though, so it's mostly useless.

You can dispute a transaction with your debit card and they can do a charge back

Shame this deal is from Ebuyer as I've been looking for a deal like this. I last used Ebuyer around 8 years ago and up until that point used them regularly. But then they totally let me down with an important order just before xmas and when I complained they simply couldn't care less. I told them there and then I would never buy from them again and their attitude was somewhat nonchalant as though they thought "yeah, you will sucker", probably because I'd spent so much money with them for almost 10 years up until that point. Well you know what? Some 8 years on I never have bought anything from them, not even have I visited their website. A small futile gesture I know, but it makes me feel good at least.

Sadly didn't have a CC then. I have since had my eyes opened. Any other ideas?
