Something to consider... I have a Corsair 4000 case with a glass side panel. I set the lights as follows, using the iCUE software:- CPU water cooler and fans - white Front fans - white Memory covers - gentle multicolour flow The light intensity is adjustable in the software The result is not...

Thank you both for your speedy and helpful information. Regards : Anthony

Hello SpyderTracks, Thanks for the response... The Motherboard is an ASUS® TUF GAMING B650-PLUS Regards : A

Order No. 2668089 I found this red and black jumper is floating in the case. It appears to be from the area on the motherboard numbered 16 in the manual, as can be seen in the image below. Rightly or wrongly I attached as shown, but I would be grateful if I could be advised where it should be...

Thank you TonyCarter and Spydertracks for your responses. You both obviously picked up on the mistyping of the BenQ SW272U monitor model in my thread title! It is indeed a very nice monitor and once my wiring is tidied up in the next few days, I shall concentrate on calibrating it and will get...

My new PCSpecialist computer works well when connected to the monitor with the supplied displayport lead. As I only have standard USB-C sockets on the pc, I cannot just use a USB-C cable to the monitor to use the memory card slot, the two USB 3 sockets in the monitor as well as send the video...

Thanks for responding Steve, I found your alternative spec + comments very useful and good food for thought. Anthony

Edited my post as requested... Thanks Andy. Anthony

As some considerable time has elapsed since I bought my last PCSpecialist computer, it has taken time to educate myself with the advances that have taken place, so any comments would be welcome as I close in on a definite specification. The primary use will be for Photoshop/Lightroom, possibly...

The new pc has five fans running and using CPUID monitor, I can see the CPU fan speed fluctuating in real time - no problem. However, AUXFANIN0, AUXFANIN1 and AUXFANIN2 are reported as running at 164RPM now, at min and at max which suggests they are not sensing speed changes. Oviously I have...

Dumb question of the day. I notice there are four SATA connector blocks on a P8P67 motherboard, dark blue, grey and pale blue (forget the eSATA connector on the back plane for now). The spec. on the Asus site says a total of eight on-motherboard SATA connections. This leads me to believe that...

Having received a progress email regarding my order, I note that supplies of the new sandy bridge boards are on back order at the moment. I wondered if there was a e.t.a. for them? This isn't a chase up but a not unnatural curiosity on my part... Regards: Anthony.

Just a line to say that I have been on and off the 'phone with PCS most of this morning and they have been really excellent in sorting out my existing on-hold order when I wanted to change the spec. and add an item (we ended up cancelling the old order and I re-ordered straight away because I...

I would like to add an additional case fan to my order (which is held at the moment because of Cougar Point situation). I also plan to substitute the SSD in the spec with one of the new 510 series just announced. Now whilst I can make an order amendment for the SSD, I would appreciate...

Having been unable to provoke much response to a thread I started in 'General discussion' apart from an excellent response from Rakk over OS software, I thought I would ask a couple of the related questions here. In the spec for my (on hold) new PC, I have specified a FRACTAL DESIGN R3 - BLACK...
