    PCSPECIALIST In case SensorPanel for Aida64

    So... I watched the Jayz 2 Cents video, and thought for £60 what could possibly go wrong? This needs a 7 inch LCD enclosure 3d printing, or I need to find a smart way of mounting, and concealing the wires, but as a POC at this stage it's kind of cool, even if the brightness is impaired somewhat...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice re stuck pixels on 4 brand new Alienware 38 monitors!

    Evening all, I'm a bit of advice, if I may. I'm now on my 4th Alienware AW3821DW monitor, with the latest one just unboxed to find another stuck pixel. These monitors are £1260 (ish) a time, and I'm at a point now where I really am thinking of giving up on finding an imperfection free version...

    PCSPECIALIST Has anyone here tried mining?

    I was curious to see what all the hype was about surrounding mining, Etherium in particular. After 24 hours, I've made $11, with my 3090 under volted and under clocked, producing a hash rate of ~100M\hs. My take away is that the memory junction sits way too hot for my liking, at 90-92...

    PCSPECIALIST Overclocking Corsair Vengeance 3200 to 3600

    So, much like @NoddyPirate I believe, I thought that by buying some of the highest spec kit out there, there wouldn't be a need for any overclocking. And then.... Well the Crosshair VIII is made for overclocking, right? The Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro marketing does reference specially selected...

    PCSPECIALIST 5950x 90 Degree Under Load?

    I've been enjoying my new build for about a week, and thoroughly enjoy throwing ultra settings at it, and watching it handle with such ease! I am concerned, however, at the temperatures my 5950x is hitting. The spec is: Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Asus ROG Strix 3090...

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone got a Herman Miller Logitech Embody?

    So, I work in IT, then spend my evenings doing web design / photography editing, with a spot of gaming. This means I spend waaaaay to long sat down. I'm developing back ache, and my posture needs correcting. I've done a fair bit of research, and am almost set on the Herman Miller Logitech...

    PCSPECIALIST New 5950x ROG Strix 3090 Beast

    So, after a brief wait, my new machine arrived. Hats off to PC Specialist, I'm comfortable building machines, but I couldn't cable manage as well as the finish here. I'm very impressed, with only a few noise / fan curve issues to iron out. I also hadn't realised that this build doubles up as...

    PCSPECIALIST Corsair iCue Quiet Profile Settings

    Hi all, My new build arrived yesterday, safe to say I'm delighted with the overall aesthetics and cable management is very good. Fan profiles are set to quiet in iCue, however I can hear the fans ramping up as soon as I'm starting a game. I've only had a few moments to take a look at Call of...

    PCSPECIALIST Best mouse for productivity and work?

    Evening all, not too sure if this is the most appropriate place to post - feel free to move it not. I'm an IT manager by day, web designer by evening, and looking to get into a bit of gaming too once the new build arrives in a few days time (5950x, Strix 3090 etc) I was about to order a...

    PCSPECIALIST 9-10 Working Days for 5950x + Strix 3090

    So thrilled to see how fast this build has been put together, thought I'd share the news and spec! I'd deliberately gone overkill on this, to try and circumvent the wait times, and the build will be used for virtual machines, lots of Photoshop and video editing, with a spot of gaming. For...

    PCSPECIALIST Future proofing query

    Hi all, I'm looking at purchasing the following spec, for a bit of gaming, but also heavy photoshop and video editing. I'm an IT professional, very capable of building my own PC but I wouldn't even want to entertain building a custom cooling loop! As the hard tubing is cut and tailored to the...
