    PCSPECIALIST The Time Has Come

    I might have missed something earlier in this thread, but are we presuming that this is a GPU problem? Couldn't they just send a replacement part out?

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3070 New Build - Crashes To Black Screen

    @sck451 @SpyderTracks Great news, that's the kind of answer I was hoping for! As always, PCS Forums are a font of knowledge. @MrWilson I'm guessing that you can expect an EVGA in your build if your GPU was at fault, as our GPU's would be coming off the same pile. I'll be interested for the...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3070 New Build - Crashes To Black Screen

    Sorry, yes, I understand that PCS can supply me whatever card is available. My question was regarding the performance/opinion of the card vs. the Gigabyte equivalent

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3070 New Build - Crashes To Black Screen

    As we know, the RTX 3070s which were being supplied were manufactured by Gigabyte. Popular opinion seemed to be that this was the card you would pick for best performance (if you had the option...) My replacement card has just arrived and is manufactured by EVGA. Is this a downgrade? Or...

    Just so you know, there's a section missing from the to do list... We would like pictures please 🙂 cable management is optional.

    PCSPECIALIST The Time Has Come

    In an effort to seem more balanced: DPD were actually brilliant with the delivery of my PC, and the RMA for the replacement part I received last week. My local DPD driver is excellent, and yes, I did my good deed and gave him 5/5 stars and a little message telling him he had earned a noddy...

    Me too! NI perhaps are different, but we have experienced nothing but poor handling from them. Judging by the banana shaped PCs on here at the moment something must be going badly wrong! It takes seriously substandard handling to dent a PC when they come packaged as well as they do from PCS.

    +1 for leaving that driver as much negative feedback as possible. The company I work for use Parcelforce for our outgoing deliveries of vast quantities of glass bottles containing medicines, amongst other things. We swapped to DPD a couple of years ago as the savings were significant but were...

    PCSPECIALIST Dented case frame on arrival - Corsair 5000X

    First off, I'm really sorry to see the damage to your new PC. It must be really disheartening after your wait. Personally, I wouldn't want to look at that damage on what is quite a significant financial investment. It's your call really as to how you feel about that. When I spoke to PCS...

    PCSPECIALIST 5600X RTX 3070 Build

    Just another thing I have noticed, there isn't enough room to have the two case fans both at the front. The inlet/outlet fittings on the rad are too close to the fan mounting area unfortunately. I guess this could be sorted at a later date by sourcing a couple of thinner fans in the unlikely...

    PCSPECIALIST Just fancy treating myself to what i think is a high end liquid cooled system this good for hungry games?

    Ooh good old Farm Sim aficionado! There's not too many of those on here. Looking forward to Farm Sim 22 landing this Autumn!

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3070 New Build - Crashes To Black Screen

    No problem. Does seem a shame when the gigabyte seems to generally be regarded as the 'better' card. I did say they could just swap me out for a Ti if they wanted... Glad to hear you've got something to keep you busy. This is my first PC so in the meantime I'm back to the Xbox and Farm...

    I think you go into boot menu (F8) and actually select the USB drive in there

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3070 New Build - Crashes To Black Screen

    Another update: I have just spoken to PCS again. As always, really helpful guys on the support team. They have arranged for a replacement RTX 3070 to be sent out to me, as they are 99% sure that it is a GPU failure due to the symptoms of black screen and artifacting. Providing they have a...
