    PCSPECIALIST Weird pink haze at bottom of screen

    Something else to try. Next time it happens take a screen shot, If the haze shows in the picture then your GPU is most likely on the way out fault if not then its the screen.

    PCSPECIALIST Stuttering in desktop

    DPC checker is another latency checker tool. It gives you a quick dirty view to see whether you have latency problems. Can you go to the driver page on LatencyMon and sort by DPC count then take a screenshot and post it here? I wouldn't use the drivers PCS give you because they are probably out...

    PCSPECIALIST Norton really outdoing themselves - Why does anyone buy this in the first place

    Oh man. This blockchain business is getting really depressing. I didn't really care when it was just the mining business (apart from the impact on GPU supply) as for me it did not impact my life at all. This trend of every major software company getting involved with it and introducing it into...

    PCSPECIALIST Real Users' Benchmarks - Rank of PCS Laptops

    The reason the other Ionicos in the benchmark are double your score is because you have ran the wrong test. You need to run Firestrike not Time Spy

    PCSPECIALIST NVidia confirms power requirements for 3090ti

    Hahahaha that is absolutely ridiculous! They cannot continue this way. Surely 4000 series are going to have to back right back. Although lets face it at this point Nvidia are all about the crypto miners and could not care less about any other use case so maybe they wont?

    PCSPECIALIST Install M2 SSD into desktop-laptop (screw question)

    Like I have already said. The screws I have linked you too will work. The left screw in your picture is the same as the screws I linked because they are for m.2 standoff points.

    PCSPECIALIST Install M2 SSD into desktop-laptop (screw question)

    M.2 is the interface on the motherboard and they all use the same size screws. I have the exact screw set I linked you too and I can confirm that they do fit m.2 standoff points.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 - Possible to run 1440p 240hz on external monitor?

    No this is why i think you should stick with the cable i originally linked. For G Sync to work you have to use DP.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 - Possible to run 1440p 240hz on external monitor?

    If this is the case its probably better to stay with USB-C to DP as G Sync will still be useable.

    PCSPECIALIST Real Users' Benchmarks - Rank of PCS Laptops

    I wasn't making fun of your configuration. You have an extremely powerful DTR and that is an excellent Firestrike score. I am just happy that my little laptop can keep up with it.
