well I just monitored the temps while recording on obs and playing vr and it never went above 90 - I'm curious as to why you thought it would be insufficient but upon hearing that pc specialist said it would be fine you changed your mind? Either way it didn't really address the question of my post.
I recently upgraded from the 3900x to the 5950x with the
PCS FrostFlow 100 RGB V3 Series High Performance CPU Cooler
but since the return I often hear an extremely obnoxious rattling which you can hear on this link:
I'm wondering if a fan could have become dislodged in transit or if...
Just thought I'd follow up here with an apology - I jumped the gun. After using this system for a few months I can safely say it is the best computer I've ever used. I switched over from Mac and I am delighted, not only does this PC scrub through pro res RAW footage but I have finally been able...
I've had a response from PC Specialist and it is fairly comprehensive:
Good afternoon Harrison,
This isn’t a loose connection, it’s the motherboard speaker that gives the beep signal when you turn on your PC.
Regarding the state of the card; you are rightfully unhappy and we do apologise...
Ok well I may have jumped to conclusions, to be sure though I am pursuing Zotac customer service further to see if PC Specialist is listed as an OEM. I will inform the forum on what PC Specialist say.
No DVI port and Zotac customer service have just told me this card is from pre-build PC's which most certainly makes this card second hand. I am now starting to wonder how many components they use are second hand.
Right I emailed Zotac customer support and NEWS FLASH - the card is second hand:
Hi Harrison,
The card you got is OEM version of 2060 which comes only in pre-build PC’s.
So basically this one cannot be purchase from store as a single component.
Kindest regards,
Eurotech Team...
They look very similar however there is only 2 display ports on the card you posted, there are three on mine and a DVI (which is also missing from the card you posted).
Thank you for the swift replies.
I'm just worried it's a rehoused 10 series card with a bios flash - I do not understand how there is no record of this card anywhere except for ebay. I also expected them to take pride in their build quality and clean the parts before whacking it in the system seeing as I spent 2 grand on this.
I Have recently purchased a new build from PC Specialist, parts listed below:
