    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    So we're waiting for the benchmarking 3rd party reviews, to see what is comparable to what. Fair enough. Thanks :) I just wish I could understand what they were saying better. Even understanding 'eeveegeeay' actually meant EVGA took several repeats before the penny dropped, and that was in an...

    PCSPECIALIST Bluetooth Wake Settings

    I use a Logitech wireless and mouse with the logi unifying receiver, Master series. In sleep mode, my computer will wake up with a key press or mouse movement. I've got an Asus X670 mobo, which will have different capabilities, but I'd expect 'Wake-on-Bluetooth' to be one you'd have. My old...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    You are both right in saying 'wait'. That's fine, I'm not in any particular hurry. Q1 or even Q2 '23 won't be a problem. I was more wondering if you could suggest which AMD GPUs I should be paying particular attention to. Or are we waiting for the reviews to find this out? When the reviewers...

    PCSPECIALIST Surge Protection Issue.

    Many years ago I bought a 'Smart' surge protection multi-socket. The 'Smart' bit is, it has a master socket. When whatever is plugged into the master socket is switched off, it cuts the power to all the peripheral sockets. In my case, the computer is plugged into the master socket. All the...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    I'm still planning on a Team Red rig. As you've all said and I agree, Nvidia are taking the mickie out of it with those prices. So which Team Red GPU should I be looking for, to drive a Gigabyte M34WQ monitor 🤔 (That's a 3440 x 1440p 144Hz, to save you having to look up the specs :) ) I've got...

    PCSPECIALIST Fancy desktop PSC backgrounds?

    I'm using 2 PCS Wallpapers from Steam - Wallpaper Engine. Go into Wallpaper Engine, search for PCS and 2 dynamic wallpapers come up. One is just the PCS Logo, in RGB on a black background. While listening to anything, the logo pulses as if it was on the back of a bass drum and the lighting...

    PCSPECIALIST Space X Starship Test Flight

    Only 80 miles up ? 😲 That seems like a near miss type distance, at the speed they'll be doing.

    PCSPECIALIST The New Beast

    Like most jobs, the everyday routine can get monotonous. It's the unusual challenges and none routine stuff that keep it interesting. My first European trip, in 2000, was 😲 almost the whole way. Now, I've driven those same roads so often, it's routine. That first trip, I took a load of Pampers...

    PCSPECIALIST The New Beast

    Reversing tips? Erm, nope. It's just practice, practice and more practice. I've been driving artics for over 30 years, and reversed into spaces hundreds of thousands of times. I have good days and bad days. On a bad day, it can take 3 or 4 shunts to get the sweet spot. On a good day, it's on in...

    PCSPECIALIST The New Beast

    On the licence front. I phoned my old boss on Monday to tell him I had received my licence. We've had occasional phone conversations since I had that stroke, I was promised that my job would be kept for me. So he asked me to drop in on Tuesday and would I be ok for a shift on Friday? Tuesday...

    PCSPECIALIST Well i thought the films were bad..............

    Gawd, I feel ancient. In 1989 I'd already served in the Army for 10 years and had an 8 year old daughter. I completed 12 years service then got promoted to Mr :D Back to my first day in Basic Training. We went out for a "quick jog" 🤣 10 miles later, sweating bricks, we got back to Barracks...

    PCSPECIALIST The New Beast

    I think the whole group here should be congratulated. A complete and total success story :D So the next thing is, what should I upgrade my graphics card too ?? 😲 🤣 I think I can wait a year or so, see how the new Radion graphics cards compare to the Nvidea 40xx .

    PCSPECIALIST The New Beast

    Last night I played the game which prompted me to buy this new build. Days Gone. It was utterly fantastic 😆😆😆 So the money spent on this new computer, to play a £20 game, was well spent 🤣 I had no idea how much detail was missing on my old computer 😲 I've also been active on the Steam...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    You should be safe, I won't post any more pics until I get my new desk. It'll have a proper safe place for this case to pose in and breathe, and it'll only be moved for cleaning. Once it's in there, the wrap will be off, it's only still on so I don't leave big greasy hand prints all over the...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    Not that you have any bias or anything 😂 😂 Easy to find those 2, just search for PCSpecialist, they pop right up. The third one, crystal rocks in a desert???? I haven't found yet. There are a couple of others I liked. 1 is from iCue, with a big iCue logo in the middle, which I'm not so keen on...
