Good evening all. I've a x570 AUS Tuf motherboard and currently rocking 16GB 3600mhz RAM made up of x2 8GB sticks. - I have bought some more, another x2 8GB, and so far I've been unable to get a stable PC. I.e it often BSOD. Any tips I can try?

Hey :-) So, I've a X570 motherboard with x1 PCIe 3.0 1tb SSD installed (Samsung) Having recently bought Red Dead 2 with it's huge install size, it's encouraged me to get another NVMe drive.... Knowing the X57 motherboard will support x2 PCIe 4.0 SSD's - I bought a 1tb WD Black SN850 with...

Hi So, I've changed my CPU (3600x to 5600x) There is a new Win11 update that has appeared in my settings. I've downloaded the update, gone to install However, the I can't install as I do not have TPM enabled - I assume it reverted back when I swapped the CPU? So, into the BIOS I go. Turn TPM...

Anyone playing deathloop? I have been trying to get the frame limit to 60fps. And the game, according to the steam fps counter at least, keeps showing fps far beyond 60? Any ideas. I personally just like a nice stable frame rate I have my monitor set to 60 - though it will output 144. The FPS...

Hi I bought the NZXT H511i - Any recommendation less than £100, that would be an upgrade? Ideally I'd like 1. An open/mesh front - I have these RGB fans on the radiator and I can't see them! 2. Something with improved airflow - more for the GPU - The CPU is always pretty cool 3. Look smart...

Hi All So - Seduced by some RGB RAM - I bought 16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600mhz RAM to replace what I had in the system I went into the BIOS and change the mhz from 3200 to 3600mhz and it won't load - it crashes everytime upon loading windows. The RAM is in the same 2nd and 4th slot...

Hi Looking to upgrade my 1080p 144hz screen to a 1440p 27inch. I don't have a need for 144hz gaming. If I get a screen with a 60hz refresh rate, can that create a problem with screen tearing / dropped frame rates. Currently any time I try and lock a game to 60fps, it drops frames. The only...

How long does it take to complete game…. Stats say 13hours But given I started played when I my PC arrived in Dec 20 Those 13 hours have take 6 months! Alas. Gears of War 5. First PC game I installed. The PC has gone through 3 GPUs, memory sticks and finally a we got to the end of the game...

All! So, had my Desktop for around 5 months now - and I'm not sure what my expectations should be in respect of performance, as I'm always left a little 'disappointed - (Nothing to do with the build I must add! - Great job by PCS) Background - Long life console gamer, first time PC owner. I...

Hello :-) Just a musing really on Ray Tracing. I bought my PC (3600x CPU, 3070 GPU) in hope of playing the latest and greatest at 60fps with Ray Tracing at 1080p. It didn't seem unreasonable - Knowing zero about PC when I bought the machine...and still nothing since. I have to say, I'm. Let's...

Just advice really. I have now a Zotec 3070 GPU - It's great. All the FPS in the world etc However, after gaming for 30mins or so and I return to life more ordinary on my PC, the GPU hovers around 50c, which is fine. The fans however kick at that point and have this really annoying 'on/off'...

Just playing a bit of Control, enjoying my Ray Tracing vibe. Anyway, it's not often I can hear the GPU fans. Thought I'd load up TecUpPower GPU-Z Below is a screenshot. Max GPU temp 82.0 Max CPU temp 68.2 Whilst I still find my way on first 'my first PC' experience. Are those 'normal...

Anyone playing it? Least said about how it runs 3070 GPU , 3600x CPU, 16gb RAM and a 970 evo pro SSD With ray tracing on. A not quite stable 1080p, 30fps. And is ray tracing really all that. Starting to wonder?? ok, that out of the way with. Game pass. I am finding it rather enjoyable! Nice...

After some speakers I am considering a Bluetooth soundbar such as a Sony SF200 - £150. It looks pretty compact, so can fit it behind my monitor Looking at traditional Bluetooth speakers, even the smaller ones are too big for my desk. Any other recommendations up to £150?

Hi Just bought myself a bluetooth keyboard, to replace a wireless one via USB. Now on startup, I get a 'keyboard not found error' - before the normal bootup screen. I assume its because the Bluetooth connection is slower to start up than the rest of the machine? Any ideas on how I turn off...

So, how do I get a 'locked' / stable framerate? (what are the tricks and tips) The high-level specs are NZXT H511 case CPU 3600x GPU 3070 1tb 970 evo plus H115i Plat RGB 850w Corsair Ultra Quiet Nothing I play keeps a stable / let alone locked 60fps. Gears 5, regardless of what I do to the...

So. As the other thread, I mentioned about case fans, turned in an reinstall windows thread (and thankfully resolved, thank you mods!) I thought I would tackle other 'issues' one at a time. 1. Case Fans. I have the below build and using a little DB app on my phone, most of the noise from the...

Firstly. I love my build. Thank you PCS! Just a couple of questions. 1. Noise. This is a biggie. As my build along with the odd bit of gaming, is used for studying (word / excel / browser / youtube) When doing this 'kinda stuff' I was hopeful my build would be silent, much like my surface book...

So. VERY VERY quick 'thoughts' 1. Once PCS received the GPU, it got built and sent in a few days. Massive props! :) All the staff on the phone / email. Always super polite and friendly. 2. I've just turned it on. Its pretty loud at 'idle' . Probably a bit surprised. I was hopeful during times...

The build is 'built' so anything 'woah, what did you do that for' can wait for another day (PSU is overpowered and CPU is underpowered, oh the cooler is overpowered.....I know I know ;-) ) More. The Motherboard / Network Card questions Network Card. I assume this has Bluetooth support (BT?)...
