    PCSPECIALIST Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    I’ve had various versions, and multiple copies of the series on Xbox, Mac and PC - just for completeness of course. I think the PC one was a fairly recent freebie GoTY from Epic.

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for a gaming pc for my son

    We can't comment on competitor builds...and I'm not in a position (due to lack of knowledge) to judge any other company. However, the below has equivalent specs to what's shown in that advert, but it's NOT a build we'd recommend anyone buy as too many corners have been cut (case, motherboard...

    PCSPECIALIST Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    From what I've been reading, the ones that gave it a 'meh' or below rating from their in-person demo have not received codes to test the full version...and the only reviewers that are getting codes are those that have been boot-licking. But then I might just be looking at the wrong channels...

    PCSPECIALIST How is this spec?

    This is about as close to £1000 I can get it, but it comes with some compromises to do so. None of the choices are bad, but some are not what we'd choose if the budget to fit a higher spec component was there. Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE - slightly bigger case (at £5 extra) so that you...

    PCSPECIALIST How is this spec?

    That doesn't look like the usual dross in a Dell gaming PC, so it might (and I'm not promising anything) work in the interim.

    PCSPECIALIST How is this spec?

    THIS! Some of the Dell custom ones I've seen don't even have a 12v connector, and are power-limited to take all their power from the motherboard PCIe slot.

    PCSPECIALIST Check my spec please !

    This is a forum for PCSpecialist customers. As that is not a PCSpecialist configuration, I'm afraid we can't help you as we can't/won't comment on competitor/self-builds. You cold try somewhere like Tom's Hardware or Reddit if you want advice on a self-build...or maybe ask PCGarage.ro if they...

    PCSPECIALIST How the Giza pyramid complex was built

    I don't have any 'social media' (bar LinkedIn, and I'm excluding forums from that definition) accounts at all, but the ones I did have were all fake info just so I could view some of the channels that were behind 'logged-in paywalls'...even some of my local restaurants don't let you see the...

    PCSPECIALIST VR Chair

    Not for me, but then I'm not a fan of VR either, and my gaming space is about a quarter of the size ;)

    PCSPECIALIST How to pry open exhaust fan header from MOBO controller if over-crowded?

    iFIXIT does offer single tools, but you'll end up paying a lot more for fewer items than you would for a complete kit. The reverse tweezers are great for grabbing dropped screws out of inaccessible crevices!

    PCSPECIALIST How to pry open exhaust fan header from MOBO controller if over-crowded?

    Sorry, not completely finished my first double-espresso of the day, so my eyes/comprehension are a bit slow ;)

    PCSPECIALIST How to pry open exhaust fan header from MOBO controller if over-crowded?

    You might also find it much easier to access if you remove the GPU to give you space to come in from the bottom too!

    PCSPECIALIST New pc, advice welcome

    As hinted at by @Martinr36 , we'll need to know: What it's being used for (be as specific as you like, but if it's a split of uses we'll need to know what is the most important) What is your MAX budget What monitor(s) is it being paired with (make & model, or resolution, refresh rate, response...

    Well, you‘ve got more chance of your scream being heard in space, than finding a way to complain to Meta.

    PCSPECIALIST How Many Fans Does My Custom PC Have?

    We're all volunteers here, and my advice is no better/worse than most of the other volunteers on here. We may just have slightly different opinions based on specific scenarios/areas of expertise, and some are experts in specific areas (audio, rendering, troubleshooting, etc.) but that's about it.

    PCSPECIALIST How Many Fans Does My Custom PC Have?

    Sorry, but no. I don't think that's the correct config link either, as there's no price and the link shows a 750W CX model PSU. You've reduced the RAM speed (could see a 10% performance reduction in RAM-speed critical tasks there) You've changed the CPU to a media creation / productivity...

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    I saw something similar to that a few years back. It said "Tired of being fat and ugly - our gyms don't have mirrors!".
