    PCSPECIALIST Path of exile 2 CPU bottleneck?

    Yeah, absolutely, it won’t be a brilliant experience as 1080 doesn’t go natively into 1440p without factorising, but just to tide you through it will be fine. Make sure you’ve enabled HDR in windows and nvidia settings otherwise the monitor isn’t being used to its potential. HDR is where it...

    PCSPECIALIST Path of exile 2 CPU bottleneck?

    The minimum settings won't be a good experience, that means lowest graphics settings and even then it will just about manage 60fps at 1080p (min - recommended specs are always based at 1080p), so that GTX960 is for 1080p. As PoE is an RPG that means a lot of physics based calculations in real...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    if you go to devices do you see the iCue controller? Have you made sure all device firmwares are up to date in iCue?

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    He's a proper barley swigger too, the guys got serious issues. I'm sure it was his parenting. So we need to take this back pre-coke days to Father Nicolaus and Mother Nicolaus back in the old days in Holland then? Maybe they ended up snorting too much coal? Is that what gave them the idea for...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    All those fans should be addressable within iCue, you shouldn't need to use the motherboard controls at all. Except for the one Thermaltake one but you'd just set that at a low static speed.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    That looks like a proper 4Pin on the W_PUMP header, the cooler comes with an iCue Commander Core or Core XT (not entirely sure). BUT I think only the Commander Core XT may support the new RS ARGB fans that are on the case. The cooler has the old ML RGB fans. If you're unsure how to check the...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice on buying a Gaming PC :)

    We can only build to a budget, and we can't advise on anything outside of PCS. Your budget doesn't get anywhere near even an entry level custom PC, I'd suggest getting an old gen branded system that they're clearing stocks of, you'll get a far better deal. Just no way you're even close to a...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    Just move the motherboard headers, they're clearly labelled, can't go wrong. The W_Pump header will just run them at full tilt, it's not designed for fans. It's normal. GPU's tend to have agressive fan curves at factory settings, you just apply your own fan curve to suit your needs. You want...

    They need to be on a CH_Fan header, not the w_pump one

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    I'd be very surprised if that's the case, that isn't a fan header, it's an AIO header, that should be the cooler fans.

    As above, you need to identify the fans first.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    So you need to identify those fans firstly, and then troubleshoot from there, it should only be the 2 cooler fans addressable from iCue, as far as I'm aware the 3500x doesn't come with an icue controller of it's own. The case fans are likely what's addressable from the BIOS config, which would...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    So this is what you need to troubleshoot then. Don't change any settings in the BIOS, revert those. Everything should be managed through iCue I suspect you may be confusing sound of case fans with the cooler fans, or pump speeds with fan speeds. But if the fans are registering in icue ie...

    PCSPECIALIST Card reader not working after Win install

    It's likely your wifi is not present after a clean install, so in the first instance you'd need to connect a LAN cable, and then run optional updates to let windows install drivers Then if any still aren't recognised, install them with the available drivers in your PCS account

    PCSPECIALIST New PC loud fans/cooling

    Windows was already installed and configured, so you mean just running through the initial account setup, or did you actually clean install windows yourself? You wouldn't control the cooler through the BIOS, it's controlled within Windows in a Program called iCue Fans will run at full speed at...

    PCSPECIALIST 13th- and 14th-generation Raptor Lake processors

    That's because all the good chassis sold out a long time ago. The new chassis are announced at CES in January, the AMD ones are extremely popular and will have sold out in the main by May or so. Now is not the right time to buy a custom chassis as it's right at the end of the product cycle, yet...

    PCSPECIALIST Great Laptop, poor aftercare

    You'll need to know how to clean install as you'll need to do it once a year or so on each major windows version upgrade, as well as if any corruption happens, so if the process has made that more familiar to you, then you've just got free microsoft training which is extremely valuable in...
