Nice, any idea what helped improve the score?

I'm really glad that you were able to solve it - you have certainly earnt a working computer! Some of these hardware issues can be really hard to diagnose. It could have been as simple as an electrostatic discharge during install, or when connecting something to an input/output port, weakened...

You can get some USB ports that continue to charge if the computer is 'off' (but still powered at the wall), kind of like a pass-through for charging, but not all USB ports are like this. It is worth noting that if you leave your device plugged in all the time so that it is charging every time...

Good stuff. It’s worth noting that there is a bit of a wait between when you order and when they build it due to a big order backlog. The builds with a 3070 TI, for example, currently have to wait around 20 to 30 working days until they get built. However, once it goes into building, typically...

Are you sure about that? I thought the same about mine, but found out that is just the way they are designed. I have the Zotac Gaming 3070 ti.

Sorry, it’s always bad when people assume others know what acronyms mean! That’s my mistake. RGB stands for red, green and blue. It’s slang for the coloured lights that you get (as they use red, green and blue LEDs to make up the various colours of the rainbow). You can also get aRGB, which are...

@cOLDfIRE well done for including the answers to some of the common questions! @Martinr36 beat me to it and came up with pretty much exactly the spec that I was going to suggest! I have another couple of questions that might help with refining the selection: 1) You mentioned that you want...

I have just realised something that is really quite obvious now that I have seen it. With the RGB off, you can see that the case colour varies across the board. The RGB has to shine through this. The different case colours are acting as a filter, so where the case colour is purple, the red is...

I recently received my new computer from PC Specialist and it’s been great, and seems to be functioning perfectly. My build includes the Zotac 3070 TI. It is running games very well, but I noticed a couple of cosmetic issues with the hardware. The first photo shows the top of the card is bent...

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear: iCue can control the RGB for my RAM, AIO CPU cooler, Keyboard and Mouse. Armoury Crate can control my backplate and case fans. The motherboard appears in iCue and shows RGB headers and backplate controls, but changing them in iCue does nothing (not sure if Armory...

Yes, iCue, Armory Crate and Windows are all up-to-date. The motherboard has reappeared in iCue, but still has no effect when I add a new profile and change the colour of any of the 3 back plate lights or the 2 RGB headers ☹️

I was able to see the motherboard in iCue and create profiles, but despite appearing to work in the software, nothing changed in reality. I recently updated Armory Crate and now the motherboard has disappeared altogether from iCue!

Thanks. I have seen that before, but I think it only helps with controlling the RGB of RAM, which I seem to be able to do already from both iCue and Armory Crate (I think that they had preinstalled this module already). "This plugin only grants control of your RAM modules to ASUS Armoury...

Well, the good news is that I have managed to reconnect the RGB header and so all my fans now display in glorious technicolour 🌈:love:. I have also found where to set custom fan profiles in iCue, but I very quickly realised that I need to do more research before fiddling about with that. Also, I...

Fantastic, thank you for the response. Very useful information. I will have a play to see if I can fix the case fan RGB, and also look out for tutorials online.

My computer has arrived and seems to be working very well :D. One minor issue is that the centre case fan does not seem to work for RGB. It appears to be spinning but no RGB. It might just be spinning passively from the air being drawn in by the AIO. The likelihood is probably quite high as in...

I understood why the cooler was front mounted on the case and I agree with the decision, but I was slightly miffed that you couldn't see the RGB very well from the front of the case. However, contrary to what I thought and said earlier, it turns out that they didn't remove the front case fans...

Thanks AgentCooper - appearing in this thread has made my day! I'm not sure if this second monitor can be rotated - it's pretty cheap. Whilst it doesn't look as good, this setup is useful for the work that I do, so unfortunately it will have to stay like this..

Apologies for the reflections in the PC close up. I might have better luck at night time (closing the curtains did nothing!). Hopefully the cable management in the wide shot is good enough for @AgentCooper and his amazing spaces 😁
