    PCSPECIALIST "Function over form" options for cooling

    Yes, it won't be long before they're announced, so just sit tight, once we have confirmed details about specs, then we'd know more precisely what kind of cooling setup is required.

    Ah, I didn't appreciate you could change it, that's ok then.

    PCSPECIALIST Flight Simulator 2024

    No mention of size of dump in the user profile this time round? I've been recommending anyone asking for an MSFS capable build to get a minimum of a 1Tb OS drive just to be on the safe side.

    PCSPECIALIST Check my spec please.

    If you're running MSFS, it installs over 100Gb onto the user profile on the C drive, just be aware of that, I would personally recommend a 1Tb OS drive for MSFS

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 7 9800X3D next month?

    Why would anyone buy a non-X3D with these on the table, there’s just zero reason for them, they’re already redundant a month after release 🤣

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 7 9800X3D next month?

    It really does make you wonder about the 9950X3D, unless AMD do something tragic, that thing is just going to utterly mop the floor with anything

    PCSPECIALIST "Function over form" options for cooling

    The 7900X3D is actually 2 CCDs both 6 core, it depends what happens this generation but previously it was only 1 six core that had X3D VCache so it was a step down in gaming performance from the 7800X3D and was pretty poor in multithreaded against the 7900x It’s a bit of an odd chip that didn’t...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 7 9800X3D next month?

    GN Steve and Bearded Hardware are doing a proper live overclock on it soon with Liquid Nitrogen, expecting to hit 6GHz but given how low those temps are with PBO on a standard AIO I wouldn’t be surprised if they exceed 6GHz

    PCSPECIALIST Check my Spec

    4k is very different as 1080p goes into 4k without factorising, whereas 1440p doesn't.

    PCSPECIALIST Can someone check this configuration over please.

    Sorry, I was on automatic mode with that, I’m so passionate about correct drive setup as it saves so many issues down the road as well as performance improvements

    PCSPECIALIST Can someone check this configuration over please.

    All programs go on the windows drive including Steam, then you can change the location of the libraries to the secondary drives they're hosted on, you don't want any data on the windows ssd...

    PCSPECIALIST GCC driver updates

    You need to fully uninstall AVG, it's malware in itself and will destroy your windows installation. It's garbage anyway and will actually reduce security. You can't uninstall it through windows, you need to use the official uninstaller tool...

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming on Linux

    It's so frustrating, things that I would consider to be so routine in windows, I'm literally having to learn the basics all over again from scratch. I'm not the best with resorting to directions, that tends to be a last resort for me and I'll bash my head routinely trying to find the solution...

    PCSPECIALIST GCC driver updates

    What the installer file that you’re running? What full name and extension? What antivirus are you using? And have you used any driver optimiser tools?

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming on Linux

    Lols!!! Rookie, Spyder, Rookie!!! I've only just figured out that you have to manually set Proton in Steam once it's installed, I assumed Proton was like a framework that ran in Linux and Steam would automatically see Proton as the base, but not so, you have to manually set it Once you've...

    PCSPECIALIST GCC driver updates

    You haven't given the screenshot of the optional updates page? Which chipset did you download for from the AMD site? What is the specific file that it's downloaded? That's entirely expected as the PCS downloads will be out of date, you'd never use them for anything on a desktop
