    PCSPECIALIST AMD 7900XT now 24% under MSRP in Germany

    Germany is like the central sales region for Europe, so when prices reduce there, they filter down to the rest of the continent (UK included). So the 7900XT is now down to 799 Euros (£688), this is really good news, I reckon we'll see nVidia prices start dropping as well on the 4000 series...

    PCSPECIALIST Noctua's progression, development of their fan over the last 8 years

    This is quite interesting, how much effort goes into their designs is quite incredible. There's a valid reason they're the best in the air cooler market

    PCSPECIALIST Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet

    This is really exciting, been waiting years for this. A few years ago, Thermal Grizzly released Carbonaut which was a tiny carbon sheet with the idea it could replace paste. The benefits are that it doesn't degrade, so especially for laptop users, it's an extreme bonus. The problem with...

    PCSPECIALIST MSI Motherboard moves the cable connectors to the rear

    This is quite frankly fantastic and I really hope they move forward with this, apparently both Asus and Gigabyte are working on their own designs too Basically all the motherboard connectors are switched round to the rear of the motherboard, obviously you need a case to support this design...

    PCSPECIALIST I can't even get my head around this

    NVidia are paramount in the market to force competition, we need them. But given their history over the last 5 years or so in how much they've gouged the market at times of major difficulties across the board while reaping their highest earnings ever, I'm scared of what this could mean for...

    PCSPECIALIST My upcoming Record Cleaning Machine

    There's a common misconception that vinyl playback has an inherent problem with clicks and pops or static noise. I think when I was growing up, this was certainly the impression I had but realise now my Dad had pretty cheap equipment and certainly didn't look after his records. But a properly...

    PCSPECIALIST Windows Copilot

    This was announced yesterday on the Microsoft Keynote, but was announced to Devs a little while ago. The inevitable evolution of Clippy perhaps? Copilot will replace Cortana and is a fully integrated AI that can read text document, even generate documents or code, change windows settings...

    PCSPECIALIST RIP Tina Turner

    No introductions needed… My mum was a big fan of Tina’s music so we often had her playing in the 80s and 90s. Obviously there’s her back story with Ike, and how she freed herself from an incredibly abusive marriage, and the strong message of hope she gave to so many. But she was always the...

    PCSPECIALIST 4060ti 8Gb DOA

    Wow, don't think I've seen such a scathing review from them even with regards to Asus. They basically confirm it's a 1080p card, don't even attempt for 1440p

    PCSPECIALIST NVidia announce they can fix over utilisation of VRAM

    I've been a sucker for nVidia marketting before so now am quite sceptical about their announcements This is basically off the back of the 4060ti announcement, when they said it was only 8Gb VRAM there was a lot of backlash from the community frustrated as it's kind of been proven that a lot of...

    PCSPECIALIST Asus mess up with their Routers

    Now, I've got a lot of Asus products, I heavily favoured their routers for years until where I currently am simply because BT offered a full mesh network under our contract, but requires a BT router. But I still have my trusty Asus DSL-AC88U which I got precisely because it supports both ADSL...

    PCSPECIALIST Samsung Odyssey Ark getting $1000 discount

    This is pretty neat, the Samsung Odyssey Ark if you haven't heard of it was really the first of its kind that blurred the lines between a high end TV and gaming monitor. It actually has an additional micro PC that governs the IO board and deals with AI features. It's a serious piece of kit, but...

    PCSPECIALIST Best monitors so far in 2023
