    PCSPECIALIST The fettling has begun

    Thank you an absolute ton. I'm all a tizz atm, big house move this week followed by more redecorating and securing house and garden for my 'first born' (he's an indoor/catio only rescue cat) and then taking on two brother GSD support pup/dogs (one of which couldn't be adopted on due to a heart...

    Where'd you get them from? I tried before on a couple of sites but no luck. Could do with the GPU and mobo ones at least to tidy up and get my rig photogenic lol (the rest are hidden so np there)

    Definitely. I can tell from a quick glance they're better and more flexible than the ones that came with my PSU.

    PCSPECIALIST The fettling has begun

    It so is, even if you're a neveRGB type (yes, I just thought of that term lol) Last build was my first, and despite a lot of saving up, study and um-ing and ah-ing was ever a WiP, mainly due to not so well or coordinated parts chosen. All was black but the mobo (Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7) was...

    Tbh it's not the worst. Specifically, I mainly found some of the controls counterintuitive (and couldn't get used to them) and questioned some mechanics that led to mistakes and checking/doublechecking etc a lot. It'd probably sink in better if I devoted a few days to it but thus far haven't had...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Game Deals!

    I've had both on my wishlist for a while now. Still not sure which is better or even if they are as good for me as appears. Games like these will raise my interest but fwiw Cities: Skylines (as an example) was... well, I just didn't get it. Did all I was told in the tutorial and still failed...

    PCSPECIALIST The fettling has begun

    Must admit I had a similar issue with the Commander placement. Tried shifting it but it was stuck on good enough that I thought I might have to borrow my dad's mallet and bolster (he's a brickie) to knock it off but no... don't want to force and break it. In the end just decided as I was...

    PCSPECIALIST New Build and a few questions

    Don't worry, it'll be fine with the H115i, the non AiO case fans being good and with that case. I have the 5800X, hotter on average than the 5900X, with a H100i (both fans exhausting via roof) 1 exhaust at back and 3 intakes at front (all fans being 120mm) All on quiet mode, it tops at 70C...

    PCSPECIALIST Final Space has been [S]cancelled[/S] extended???

    Aww that's a shame but this happens to all the best shows these days, and I'm still unhappy about Firefly after all this time nm other shows since... Season 1 was great, haven't seen any more but was saving it up for a binge (as I do) Fingers crossed that Disenchantment doesn't meet a similar...

    'xactly... can't argue with free so I got it (and Sheltered too, might as well) Tbh dunno much about either, neither being wishlisted etc but I'll count them as 'might play some (rainy, Steam backlog having been cleared) day'. Nioh being a Souls-like does give me pause I'll admit... I don't...

    Well, that was a trip and a half. Last time I tuned into South Park, Timmeh hadn't been in it long so I'm way behind that curve.

    Just saw this, cheers for the heads up. Will get on it this weekend.

    PCSPECIALIST Not good news if anyone's waiting for the GPU price collapse...

    Value for money is pretty subjective given the ongoing situation (not only scalpers making MSRP a myth but legit stores/sites too) and this news that it could be months more yet... I like to think that I got VFM under the circumstances, getting a 6800XT at £1200. What's that you say? How and...

    PCSPECIALIST The Chicken Fiasco!

    Fresh eggs, the bright side for sure. Still one of my greatest failings in life though... that I can't cook up perfect soft boiled eggs (with fully solid, non gloopy, whites but runny yolks) like my step grandad could without any aids. As for the roosters, there's worse wake up calls. My...

    Glad to hear you gave it a go and it's (mostly) working out well.

    I have to ask, how was it overall and around how long? It's one of my ready installed possible next adventures now that Days Gone is finished.

    Well, that's a surprise drop. It wasn't on there a couple of days ago, the list went from Yooka-Laylee (which I grabbed twice) to Automachef. I do see there's a new Saints Row up for pre-purchase, so maybe something to do with that.

    PCSPECIALIST Help to bring Build within budget

    Indeed. I got lost in all that too. Don't know if I can post this here or not, rules etc... but fwiw I found this really useful when choosing, installing and setting up my fans, AiO, iCue etc. The cabling diagrams are about halfway down...

    PCSPECIALIST Any improvements you would make on this spec?

    Well worth it. The PSU is likely (along with good fast storage) to be the part that lasts longest/upgraded last in most systems. My old 2016 PC build's 750W EVGA G2 and SM961 m.2's are still great and do much the same job even if the 6700K and 1070 are now pretty much low tier parts.

    A similar backlog/to play list here too (just more things in it) Just about finished Days Gone (had the end credits but there's still a few missions apparently so another session should do it) and pondering on what's next. I've had Shadow of Mordor for about 5 years and the sequel for a couple...
