I have 2 wifi antennas in the box, do I need to connect these to the wifi card? If so, how do I do this? Can someone post a video or explanation or is it in one of the books I was given? Just thought that might be the reason for the slow wifi (not hugely)

Everything else seems to be perfect but will need to do some tests!

Thanks.

If you look at the back of the case you will see where they screw on. Pull the case right out, screw them in and tilt them up, with a little space between them 😁

Thanks for the help, read the manual. Should have done that before asking. Will post some pictures soon if all goes well in testing. Do you recommend any tests I can do at all?

Pfft! No one needs manuals! Take it out and have a go then if things aren't right you can refer to them :)

What sort of testing are you after doing? There are benchmarks like Firestrike you can run.

I have nearly downloaded Post Scriptum, a fairly demanding game and thought I would monitor temps while doing so. Do you have a recommendation for an overlay? MSI Afterburner any good?

You need to make a donation in the app to get the funk graphs but it's anything from 99p and well worth supporting them.

I've got a pair of old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.0's and dropped Cyanogenmod on them, and did a manual APK install and it's sat under my monitor. Need to get around to tidying some of my chosen headings as they are a bit long for the 7" display but honestly it is a brilliant bit of software. :)

That’s fantastic. And development is good?

So far they've spat out releases fairly regularly but I've only had it running a relatively short time. To be honest, 99p is a throwaway amount even if they stopped today.

I see no noticeable performance or battery drain on my laptop. Oooh I am thinking now though that I might use the other tablet to monitor my server..

This working from home malarky leads to way too much time to explore stuff like this

Whenever I run a game or a gpu benchmark, I get this coily sound, I assume from the GPU? I hear nothing on idle. Is this normal? Spyder thinks its fine, does anyone have a second opinion? Perhaps @Scott or anyone else? Thanks.
