I would, but I already wrapped them some negative trustpilot reviews.

Merry Christmas from the alps, everyone. Like Tony, I'm bruised & blistered from falling down mountains (worth it for the white Christmas, though!)

32 GB RAM is the new normal for gaming, you were ahead of the curve there. GPU memory is increasingly what people are falling short of - some of the new cards are a bit stingy in that regard. PCIE speeds now mean the game loads BEFORE you purchase it. My 2700x/2080ti combo is now below the...

Hi, welcome back!

Some Black Friday deals to be aware of: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/desktop-pcs/blackfriday/

There's only really one age divide - you are either old enough to remember white dog poo or you're not.

My old Poco F3 was dying, battery lasted just a few hours at a time so I opted for the Pixel 8 pro. Google kindly knocked £400 off and have it on sale for £500. I know the processor isn't the best, but the camera is decent and I've a Steamdeck for gaming on the go so it should be fine for my...

If only there were some sort of political bandwagon he could jump on. Maybe leveraging Twitter's reach to swing support behind the kind of shady character that might let him off the hook once elected. Nothing so obvious as offering people millions to sign up with one candidate of course...

I think there's a fair chance of Craig Charles doing a Quincy Jones tribute show this Saturday 6-9pm radio 6. Here's his funk family tree feature on Quincy from a while back: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p03r83tq

Do keep on with the updates, I've been tempted to make this move for a while and I'm keen for someone more knowledgeable and patient to run into all the problems before I do!

I'm starting a big diet from the beginning of September, this is inspirational - thank you for posting it. If you've any tips to share they'd be gratefully received.

I do get it, you don't need it to do much that's high-powered, but still. Any improvement is likely to need more power and that PSU isn't modular, so it wouldn't be easy. Any part you put in is going to be bottlenecked by all the others, I really think it might be time to start again with a new...

I'm still on a 2700X, was waiting to upgrade to this range. I guess I can hang on and see what the 9800X3D is like.

I know you only have a sample size of 1 and fixed it with an option PCS don't currently offer, but does this new pattern of paste application give you any pause in terms of recommending the Corsair coolers? Most on the forum have defaulted to saying 'the pre-applied paste is good and likely...
