    PCSPECIALIST Lagging

    Just as an FYI, I removed the image which shows your Windows license key, as you really don't want to be showing that :)

    PCSPECIALIST So… You Won The Lottery…

    OMG, Point Blank, I remember playing that donkeys years ago on the PS1, was awesome :) (yes I do have that PS1 still) To be honest I live on my own so would only need a slightly bigger house to have my perfect setup anyways, my gaming room is my main living room - so my kitchen is only 10 foot...

    PCSPECIALIST Loss of water in liquid series setup

    How old is the system? PCS do recommend sending it into them for a service every 1-2 years where they will refill it and doublecheck all the fittings and stuff (its a specific service for the Liquid Series machines) If its not even a year old I'd give PCS a call anyways as I wouldn't think...

    PCSPECIALIST Trouble posting on pcspecialist Discord server

    I can see you are a 'member' of the server but do not have the 'Member' Role - which means you can't post (I'm presuming you used the same name) If you do have phone verification and did indeed click the correct emoji (as instructed) to be able to post, please let me know and I'll see if I can...

    PCSPECIALIST "C:" and "D:" drive missing

    Your best bet will be to do a full clean install, rather than trying to clear up whatever mess has been caused IMO (you will need a USB stick - at least 8GB in size) You can download Windows here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10, and follow the instructions how to...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU overheats on start up

    From what I've heard they are not notorious for failing (yes I did actually ask some of the guys working at PCS a little while back) and they do not fail more often, it may not have been suitable for the CPU it was trying to cool, but then they're at the cheaper price point for a reason.

    PCSPECIALIST Farewell, Internet Explorer…

    Think the last time I used IE was at work before we decided to stop supporting IE with our product so we had to test our dev work using it (cos none of the browsers worked the stinking same way .....)

    PCSPECIALIST Advice on upgrading new motherboard and PSU

    Please note that these forums are for PCSpecialist (who sell custom built PCs and laptops) so we cant advise on competitor builds or self-builds at all. But what I will say it that you're replacing stuff like mobo, ram and PSU, it's probably worth just getting a new PC and then adding in your...

    PCSPECIALIST Decisions, decisions - Intel or AMD

    Thanks guys, I think you just confirmed what I was thinking anyways, with the AMD release being pretty close and actually in sight with dates set it'd be silly not to wait (and oooo that clock boost) Willing to see any other opinions though :) I've been with Intel since 2007, change is a-coming!

    PCSPECIALIST Decisions, decisions - Intel or AMD

    So, I had a plan, an awesome plan! My next new PC was planned for about late June/July - I had most of it planned in my head and it included either the i5-12600k or the i7-2700k And then, last week, the AMD stuff was announced --- goddammit, they look nice ...... mutter, mutter, grumble...

    PCSPECIALIST Burned graphic card? not show display (SOUND)

    To be honest a spark and a funny burning smell means something is not going to work anymore. But you should NEVER connect anything something directly to the mobo whilst it is turned on, and this includes adding power cables to anything connected to said motherboard (cos whilst it wasn't powered...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Specialst & ASUS ROG £3,000 "Out Of This World" PC GIVEAWAY!

    I'm sure they will let us know when its drawn, but I suspect those who do the deed of drawing it and contacting the winner were asleep when you asked Its normally within a few days of the end date of the giveaway entries, but the winner does have 30 days to respond to any contact so it can take...

    Note: a clean installation will wipe everything from that drive, and I mean everything. Admittedly you cant get to it anyway, but just so you know

    PCSPECIALIST "Special Offer"

    As I say IF its written as I said above (you didn't say if it was or not - what is the item?) I think its just marketing spiel for 'good price', it may be you got that before they changed the text on the item, though prices can change daily anyways so not sure how you'd tell. It may be worth...

    PCSPECIALIST "Special Offer"

    If its now a free game then its down to what the manufacturers state as their start and end dates - and you have to order in the relevant timespan, so if you order before the start date that PCS were allowed to offer it then PCS cant/shouldn't apply it to your build as its not upto them when its...

    PCSPECIALIST Upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors

    Dammit, I may finally have to change to AMD - I was about to start planning my 12th Gen Intel machine, but may have to wait now - grrrrr The (ancient) game I play really benefits from clock speed
