Turn what on, TPM? Was it visible in the BIOS, or did they direct you to where it is/should be?

Definitely. The CPU isn't the important bit there, but it will be power limited in a laptop chassis (it has to be, as it has to run from battery). But the GPU in that laptop is barely equivalent to a desktop RTX3060, so a 1080p GPU. Here's a chart showing average relative performance of the...

It's not 'water cooling'! It's a non-conductive, maintenance free, fully-sealed liquid cooling system. None of the PCS air-cooling options would suffice.

Right, I've tweaked it a little to get a AIO cooler AND the Fractal North case in (by reducing the size of the cooler, and removing the RGB from the RAM, as that was too high to fit the smaller cooler on top). Please remember, that the 7900X will not be the best option for most games...that...

Yes, you really need a decent AIO liquid cooler in there (radiator, pump & fans) too ensure the 7800X3D, 9800X3D or 7900X keeps to it's peak operating temps - the air coolers offered by PCS just won't do it (without a lot of noise, and some performance loss). In some other cases the cooler can...

Well, if you click on the link at the bottom of the config above, you can switch out the 7900XT for the 4080 Super and see if the new cost is acceptable. You can also play around with the cases and other components too, but I wouldn't for any of the PCS components, and stay away from the Prime...

Case FRACTAL NORTH TG XL GAMING CASE (BLACK) - had to upgrade to the XL version as the normal one can't fit a large GPU plus AIO cooler; could reduce the price by moving to a different case with a different aesthetic (e.g. 5000D, 5000X, 3500X) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 Core CPU...

That's a 4K monitor, so if we're looking at a 4K build, then £2200 will be pushing it if you want an RTX4080 Super. It might be possible with an AMD GPU, but I'll see what I can configure. Have read of this...

PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THAT! Intel 13/14th gen are broken motherboard is too low a level cooler is way underpowered for that CPU RAM is terribly slow PCS SSD is not very reliable PSU (even though it's a new-spec ATX3.1 model) is arguably too low a level for that combo of CPU and GPU If you let us...

That's a link to a config (which may break as components go out of stock)...not the link to your actual build from your account page...which can be accessed like this... https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/how-to-post-your-specification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/#post-559098

No, no Black Friday deals, but prices constantly change so you may find the components go up/down a few ££ over the course of a week or two...but you can continue to tweak all the way through to the 'build' stage.

There's nothing wrong with the LianLi 205 at all, was my mistake as I thought it was the LianLi Evo case (and aquarium style one) that you'd selected and was trying to get a cheaper version so that the extra budget could be spent elsewhere. That's the problem with not having the config link to...

As posted in the first reply (i.e. the link to the 'Collaboration of Helpful Hints'), we'll need to know: what it's for (gaming, work, video-editing, machine learning, all the previous or just one of them) what monitor is it being used with (make & model, or resolution & refresh rate) what's...

Silly, we use a laptop nowadays. .

If you have to read the instructions, then it’s obviously too difficult for the average user to use 😁 (says the man who once resorted to gorilla glue to assemble an ikea bookshelf)

That’s the premium for the ‘Luna’ version of W11…guaranteed to be telemetry-free, advert-free, data-collection-free, spyware-free, AI-free, Clippy-free, OfficeTrial-free, Bloatware-stub-free, etc.

Do you connect your PC to your router via an ethernet cable then? If so, we can drop the motherboard down a level. Solidigm was Intel's SSD division, but it was renamed after it was sold to SK Hynix (one of the biggest solid state memory manufacturers)...

In the 5xxx series CPUs, only specific ones have the iGPU (basic integrated graphics), normally noted by an 'G' appended to the CPU name. However, in the newer 7xxx/9xxxx CPUs, they all (so far) have a basic iGPU (not a gaming one, just for putting the picture on the monitor), and there's also...

Just leave it, it‘ll drop off the first page in a few days/weeks anyway.

That’s an odd config you’ve got, because you’ve got a slow SSD for your OS/apps (which should be the fastest), and a fast SSD for your programmes/game installs (on which the extra speed is wasted). Personally, I’d not trust a PCS-brand SSD for my critical OS drive. This might be the thread you...
