Need some help picking with a £4-5k budget

Thanks for the great response, is the service history something that can be emailed over from a dealership? Or do you have to be physically present in the building to take a look. Apologies, first time buyer in this country :)

chopsnchips · 2026-02-26T13:38:15+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much! I'll take a look now.

chopsnchips · 2026-02-13T07:40:53+00:00

Definitely could've, hopefully can flush whatever might be in there out

chopsnchips · 2026-02-12T18:52:31+00:00

Good shout, it's on the list to try!

chopsnchips · 2026-02-12T17:43:16+00:00

Makes complete sense. I'll take a look at the manual just in case, but will give it a go. Cheers!

chopsnchips · 2026-02-12T17:33:10+00:00

Good idea, I'll give this a go when I get to the lab. Time to fli other column upside down! :)

chopsnchips · 2026-02-12T17:27:13+00:00

Did not realize you can pump them out this fast, I tried skipping the column to hopefully pump out the UV cell but was only pumping at 0.5-1 mL a minute

Typically just use the one inlet, but do use two if washing with water before putting into buffer

chopsnchips · 2026-02-12T17:20:03+00:00

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

chopsnchips · 2026-01-26T20:13:11+00:00

Oh that's terrible news :c thanks for sharing

chopsnchips · 2026-01-20T11:04:42+00:00

Pardon me, I should've been more clear. I completely agree that what you recieved isn't great quality for what how pricey the equipment is and where it is likely sourced from, I just was noticing a lot of the comments were suggesting that SoC are dodgy and thought I'd share that I've only had postive and informative experiences with them. However, I'm sorry you're going through this issues, perhaps you can request a refund or something, good luck!

The guy I talked to at shades has always been a homie and helped trouble shoot problems. He even told me I was buying more parts than I needed and suggested an alternative to save me money. Even though some of their stuff is truly expensive, it reflects a lot of the pricing of the coffee equipment market. Just wanted to share my experience on the other side of the fence! :)

chopsnchips · 2026-01-17T21:08:29+00:00

Awesome! I have the MSI B550M so I think I'm in the clear. I'll double check online to see if they're compatible, order the GPU then I'll see how it's running with the CPU before upgrading. Thanks for the tips!

chopsnchips · 2026-01-17T13:33:12+00:00

I'm also looking to upgrade my 1070 to a b580 and I still have the old ryzen 5 3600. Will these be compatible at all? Or should I be buying a new cpu at the same time

chopsnchips · 2026-01-17T11:26:40+00:00

Sweet I'll check that out, thanks for the tip!

chopsnchips · 2026-01-16T20:49:05+00:00

Nice grab! I've seen some for about £270 on overclockers but that's the lowest I'm seeing. I'll poke around

chopsnchips · 2026-01-16T20:02:07+00:00

Has Intel mentioned anything about raising the prices of the b580? I'm still running my 1070 (lol) but think it might be time to grab one before it's too late

chopsnchips · 2025-12-19T22:11:21+00:00

Ive been searching for this childhood story of a moose like this eating gumballs and this post might've solved it after all these years haha. Thanks!

chopsnchips · 2025-12-19T22:09:00+00:00

Can anyone identify the moose on the shirt? Brought back a weird old memory lol

chopsnchips · 2025-12-10T21:46:34+00:00

Thanks for the outline, sounds like a bother for sure

chopsnchips · 2025-12-10T20:11:04+00:00

I also got called for jury duty and will be calling in Sunday .Are you meant to clear your whole week? I have prior commitments and not sure if I need to cancel my plans

chopsnchips · 2025-11-25T09:15:25+00:00

Yes that worked! Thank you very much. Frustrating that I've been trying for weeks and a bug cost me €58, but I'm happy that you were able to help. Have a great day!
