Sorry for late reply - busy work week and haven’t had time to circle back to thinking hard on the PC. have been doing a fair bit of reading on the case and icue link. love the idea of the tidiness offered by both so definitely thinking on heading that way. The 5000D has good airflow qualities as...
V. nice rig and a beast....:cool:
I can see the benefits of the lights and not much clutter as you say. You have persuaded me!
The Corsair 6500X case looks pretty deep as well (don't think it is on PC specialist as an option though and further whilst I can have something tall can't have...
Great thanks so much for these thoughts - extremely helpful. Happy enough with non-OC versions although think they may be out of stock (at least for the 4080).
Any thoughts on iCUE and whether it is worth it? Would be great to hear from others who have this kind of set up.
I am neither for /...
Dear experts,
Monitor – Aiming for LG UltraGear 27GR93U (4K IPS monitor). Aim would be to run my existing 2560×1600 monitor alongside for work related stuff. Opted for IPS given apparent issues with 4K OLEDs and blurry text.
Uses – Dual use – one as WFH machine primarily office-based stuff with...
Right - after much delay (alas due to a family bereavement) I am back to looking at updating my pc again. Decided to opt for a palit or zotac 4090 (they are the 4090s that Pcspecialist tend to use). Updated spec below. Comments welcome. interested in views on the case (reviews look very solid)...
Ah got a Corsair K70 at the moment but the lad is getting that. Have to say those Ducky keyboards really are beauties. That said a clickety clackety steelworks apex 7 look the business. Blue for me.
Ta for that - very helpful!
Not wedded in particular to any specific case - more keen to have something that can accommodate plenty of fans (240mm and 360 mm). Was thinking originally of a 5000D corsair but that doesn't seem to be available at the moment although have to say do like the look of...
Hi all. Hope everyone is well.
Have been pondering and awaiting the new 7 series X3D and after evaluation probably on balance going to plump for the 7800X3D. Whilst the 4090 is not best bang for buck its where I am looking at although what manufacturer still deciding on (see questions below)...
Thanks all for input. Waiting to see what the independent reviews/benchmarks are like for the new Ryzen V-cache CPUs when they appear to make a decision on that. I have to say I am definitely coming round to the idea of AIO CPU cooler. The watercooling fiddle would appeal if I had more time on...
Fabulous - thanks for the great advice! Sounds like the hanging for the launch next week (at least it is not six months!) would be sensible on the CPU front. Will digest the alternative build - my wife I am sure will be pleased given the price drop ;-)
One thing I didn't mention was that I do...
Hi all,
Have hit the mid-life crisis wall in conjunction with the fact that my existing rig is now getting on for 9 years. It is still running like a tank (has a radeon 295x2 which nicely warms the home office room) and will probably give this to the ten-year-old who is beginning to aspire to...
