    PCSPECIALIST Potential upgrade to Samsung G9

    Thanks for sharing what could be the worst it could potentially happen using the same PSU. I hadn't thought about it. I will monitor the prices between the 6950XT (if it can push through a G9 or similar) and the 7900XT. If I'm being honest with myself in those 2 years I have the PC, apart from...

    PCSPECIALIST Potential upgrade to Samsung G9

    Thanks for the answer, folks 🙏 At the time I didn't know that I was going to work remote full time, thus, benefiting from an even wider monitor for both games and productivity. Well, also mainly because I didn't have the money to go all in at the time, on top of the crazy waiting period for the...

    PCSPECIALIST Potential upgrade to Samsung G9

    Hello :) I got my PCspecialist desktop back in March 21, I'm not an hard-core gamer (I probably played only D3, D4 and Last Epoch ever since), but I've been thinking about getting a Samsung G9 monitor. I work remotely and I could benefit from the screen size. But probably not the Neo model one...

    PCSPECIALIST "Additional" RGB on 500D SE even when its off

    Just an update. I managed to switch off the light through Armory Crate. Under Aura Sync, I set the basic effects to "Dark". Thanks again for the help!

    PCSPECIALIST "Additional" RGB on 500D SE even when its off

    Thanks for the answer! I thought that was some config that I was missing in the commander pro and simple to solve. I will give Armory Crate a try. I'm afraid changing the BIOS, without knowing for sure where it is, could create problems with that loss of warranty bit.

    PCSPECIALIST "Additional" RGB on 500D SE even when its off

    Ever since I bought my desktop I've noticed additional RGB light in the back of the motherboard I believe, that is on even when the PC is turned off. I've played around with the iCUE, but I couldn't find anything. Would anyone know why that happens and/or if it's possible to turn if off ?

    PCSPECIALIST Smart Failure Predicted

    That's what PCS support told me. The option is checked by default and it says it's recommended. I wonder what difference this would make to the situation :unsure: bypass the check I suppose ?

    PCSPECIALIST Smart Failure Predicted

    Good to know I ran in the right disk! 😅 I turned off last night after running chkdsk, this morning I re-connected the SATA cables and I booted the machine 3 times...in all 3 the boot went fine. As NoddyPilot has suggested, I will leave DiskInfo installed and run periodically for a while -...

    PCSPECIALIST Smart Failure Predicted

    I wouldn't mind running it as the disk is completely empty at the moment. But, if that does happen, would void my warranty ?

    PCSPECIALIST Smart Failure Predicted

    Hi all, I got the Smart Failure predicted on sata6g_2 message when booting my PC, which I got it on Friday. I checked some articles online with some suggestions of what to do (run 3rd party software, defrag disk, disable the detection and others). But in any of these cases it was a brand new...
