Correction, That's why you don't buy products from a company that doesn't follow electrical regulations

He can just go ask Asus or EVGA for a new motherboard if that thing melts, I'd rather not take the risk ^_^

Exactly.
In an ideal world you'd get a multi meter and spend ages making sure it all works and testing resistance and etc.
The problem is just how many dodgy products exist where they will use the wrong types of metals and materials to save 0.0001 pence on every unit. Meaning sometimes they will use alloy instead of steel which doesn't conduct as well and or will cause resistance.
A couple of months ago I ended up with, get this, fake vaping coils. Instead of using cotton for the wick they used plastic. So immediately you'd taste the most horrendous taste and they would burn up.
Stupid thing is they still had to make everything else.
I think sometimes the Chinese just have that instinct to cut off their nose. It's like it's ingrained into them or something.
But yeah, don't trust your beautiful hardware with products like these man. When Lian Li or Bitspower do it? Go ahead. Until then be very careful.

I have no issue paying money for quality, It's why I get my direct to PSU cable replacements from CableMod as they now have a really good reputation and if their product causes your system trouble they'll help on that front as well.
I know we all make jokes about RGB but I think lights in a high end system, When done right, Can look quite scifi and cool.

Let me know how you get on with it @Damien c
I jumped from Android back in the days of the Galaxy S2 (fair play I loved that phone) to an iPhone 5S, years later my current phone is an iPhone 13 Pro 256.

I was sceptical about apple but since having the iphone 13 mini i've been thankfully happy so i'm sure your prefer it 
Update on side panel used some of the headlight cleaner and a small piece of wet and dry 2500grit and it got rid of the main scratches it's pretty decent now, may work it again before i build but much happier

To be fair I had a Iphone 11 Pro Max and I didn't mind it, but Itunes annoyed the living daylights out of me so much, that when I was offered a decent deal on the S21 Ultra I switched.
Going to look in to Itunes alternatives, because I detest that software with a passion so if anyone here has some options that I could look at then let me know please!!

I've used iPhone since the iPhone 3 and only ever used iTunes like 5 times, nothing in the past 7 years atleast.
I test these phones on a daily basis. For the first time in 5 years, Ive gone back to Apple for my personal phone. Android is getting pumped with too much bloatware. Just a shame iPhones are still behind the curve.
I believe only two brands now, have a good clean OS. The rest are just hindered with unnecessary apps and features. And whoever invented Bing on the Galaxy should be fired.

I bought a brand new in box iPhone 8-64GB for a grand total of £80 about a year ago from a local store, Nice little gadget, My first proper smartphone and outside of the 2 factor authentication which is nice to keep things safe I don't understand the global addiction with smartphones.

Yeah, I agree. iPhones are easy to use but they are quite far behind in terms of feature set. Especially since Apple keeps on introducing so uneccessary new features instead of fixing basic ones. Like going so far into the whole thing in the watch and iPhone that detects if you fall and alarms the emergency units.
Yet you can't change the position of your photos inside of the photos app? Like you need to find alternate ways of doing so, like saving said pictures in an note and then save them again in the order you want them in the app. It's soon 2023, why isn't this a basic feature already?...
Nor like you don't have much in terms of customizability, on Android you've been able to change the home screen, lock screen etc to your liking for years, even have an GIF as your background?
Only this fall Apple implemented a few new clock versions on the lock screen, like 8 different ones.
I mean, come on Apple. You're literally the biggest and wealthiest company in the world...
