    PCSPECIALIST Igpu

    Could anyone help put this performance in context for me? Is there a dedicated gpu that this is broadly equivalent to, or a game it could just about run ok? The article only compares to other IGPUs, and I've no experience of using them...

    PCSPECIALIST Odd errors in report

    Hi All, I'm getting some odd errors in my performance monitoring reports - yesterday it was telling me I needed drivers, though I couldn't find any that were not already the best ones installed, when I checked through the device manager. Today I'm getting missing info and a very high CPU use...

    PCSPECIALIST New AMD gaming build

    Hi all, I finally got my new PC and she's lovely! Previously I was using a PCS build from three years ago: I5-4590 (quadcore, no hyperthreading), locked, so no overclocking and the motherboard would only take that generation, so no way to upgrade. I had a SSD, but a fairly early and slow one...

    PCSPECIALIST Pre-production

    So I'm on day 5 of waiting for my new build - and I'm still in pre-production... This is my second PCS build so I know that drill, but for those new to the company, let me demystify it: Day 1) Parts are selected and placed on satin pillows in a small, shrine-like booth. Day 2) All PCS...

    PCSPECIALIST Rimworld

    So I looked through the Steam sale and then ignored them all to buy a new (been around for years but now the 1.0 release), none-sale title: Rimworld I got interested by how overwhelmingly positive the reviews are but I was sold by the reviews that were just posts of their game stories - even if...

    PCSPECIALIST gaming build Z390 question

    Hi All, I'm hoping to get a new system from PCS soon (when the 9th gen info is released), but I'm struggling to understand the functionality differences between the two generations of motherboards. I'm keen to spend a little more now and have plenty of options further down the line but it is...

    PCSPECIALIST horror film collection

    My better half loves horror films and books (from oldschool Hammer to new Korean weirdness) and I'm looking for birthday present ideas. She tried Shudder, as a subscription service for films, but found it horrible for all the wrong reasons - restrictions etc. Any other horrorphiles able to...

    PCSPECIALIST overheating issue

    Given the current heatwave in the UK and a human body temp of around 38C, just how many Noctuas will I need to actually need to stop sweating? Is it worth paying for the extra-good thermal paste and and can anyone recommend a case with 40+ fan bays that will fit a 40+ man inside?

    PCSPECIALIST new graphics card question

    My work have some cash left over for this year I get to spend (I can't wait to spend it on 11 series graphics cards, has to be spent now). My PC Specialist build is below, already purchased. Would I be able to fit in a GTX1080ti? If not, what would I need to fix? (I'm thinking motherboard...

    PCSPECIALIST Founders edition

    I know that PCS use a variety of cards and I know that rumours of a July launch for 1180 cards are just that - rumours! But... I assume that if there is a period where the founders edition are the only format of the new cards available, PCS would stock them. So, could anyone fill me in on the...

    PCSPECIALIST New gaming PC

    Hi, I'm looking at upgrading to a new PC. Mostly for gaming and with a £2-2.5K budget. I want something that will last and plan on getting a new monitor soon. I'm currently using a 60Hz, 1080p monitor but will aim for getting a 144Hz, QHD 28" with Gsync. I'm not sure about the cooling or the...
