I bought the following PC back in 2021: Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO WIFI (DDR4, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX/SLI) - RGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 64GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4...

I've been seriously considering getting one of the new Pixel phones when they come out. Has anyone pre-ordered one? I noticed that the pre-orders are all sold out in the UK, US & Europe. What do any of you make of the phones?

When I turned on my PC a short time ago I got four beeps instead of the usual one. The PC loaded fine after a few minutes but I'm just wondering if this is an issue I need to worry about? From looking on Google it could be a hardware problem or an issue with the memory. I only bought my PC a few...

Every day I see people posting here on the forums about the high spec PC's they are buying but apart from the odd review never hear much of how they get on with them. Would anybody like to share interesting projects they've been working on (videos, music, graphic design etc.) or good games...

Since I have had the PC for nearly one month I thought that I would post a review of it. I've listed the specs at the bottom. The case is definitely stylish and so easy to use. The airflow seems really good and the side panel easily opens up to access all the internals without the need for...

I received my new PC yesterday and all is working fine except for one thing. I have two external hard drives: Netac ZSLIM 250GB USB 3.2 Gen 2 External Solid State Drive Samsung T7 Touch 2TB Portable SSD Hard Drive When I plug either of them into any of the USB ports (front & back) they are...

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here but I'll try anyway. My PC has been dispatched and I should get it in the next few days. I'm looking at getting a good surge protector plug because the one I have is over 12 years old. Can anyone recommend a good one? I want one with at least 6-8...

I recently ordered a PC which included 64GB 3200mhz RAM. I asked PCS about changing it to 3600mhz RAM instead because it's not an option in the configurator. I also asked them why it wasn't an option and they came back with this: Is it worth risking the "instability issues" that might occur...

I'm thinking of buying a new PCS build. I'm wondering what graphics card I should go for. I never play games on the PC. It is solely used for video editing using Magic Music Visuals & Nero Video as well as some bedroom DJ'ing & audio editing. I know that having a faster graphics card can make...

My PCS built PC died and I had to get the motherboard replaced. The person who replaced it never reconnected the BluRay drive to the power supply and I'm unsure what cable I need. Can anyone tell from the photo below what the connector for the power is? I know that it's the one on the left of...

I've been having all sorts of issues with my PC since the PSU died last September. I ended up having to get the motherboard replaced which is annoying since the PC was less than 3 years old when all this started. I had a Gigabyte motherboard in my previous PC (a non PCS build) and it lasted...

I'm looking at getting a new PC since my less than 3 years old one died on me last October. I'm hoping this one might last a bit longer. I never do any gaming on my PC. It is mostly used for creating DJ mixes & videos for YouTube (using Nero Video & Magic Music Visuals). I also do some image...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I recently got my PSU replaced under warranty by PCS. I'm trying to install it myself but it's not working correctly. There seems to be a loose cable (see below) and I'm not sure where it fits as I can't see a connector that matches...

Is anyone else having trouble with PCS support? I contacted them about a problem with my PC and they discovered that my PSU, which was the cause of the problem, was still under warranty. I was obviously happy not to have shell out €100 for a new one but despite several emails to one individual...

Hi, I bought a PC through PCS in October 2017 (specs below). I was using it today when the screen suddenly went dead. I looked at the motherboard through the case and the RGB lights were flashing intermittently. I turned off the power at the socket and waited for a while before turning it back...

Has anyone any idea of the real world battery life of some of the PCS laptops? From looking at the comparisons it looks like battery life is quite poor. Even the laptops with the "huge" 91wh battery are showing only 6 hours from a charge. Maybe that's normal but I would have expected more. Any...

I bought a PC through PCS in late 2017 with the following specs: Case Send In Your Own Case Case Model: Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 6 Case From: Amazon.co.uk Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™ i7-8700K Six Core (3.7GHz @ up to 4.8GHz) Motherboard Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7...

Is it possible to get an internal Blu-Ray drive with any of the laptops here? I can't seem to find an option for it in any of the configurations but want to be sure I'm not just missing something.

If I update the BIOS on my PC does the overclocking profile get lost?

As promised here are a few pics of my new PC: The PC is running very fast and is virtually silent. I'm really pleased with it. For anyone who is interested this is the spec: Case Send In Your Own Case Case Model: Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 6 Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™...
