    PCSPECIALIST ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING motherboard additional RAM issues

    ..."if not done correctly it can have catastrophic implications".. I am so glad I asked! sounds like I have to clear off a few hours to do this properly and ideally during times that PCS is open and can take my calls. Honestly I thought I'll order these in, flick the RAM latches, pop em in...

    @Scott that's interesting. I didn't know that all RAM past 3200Mhz is OC. Do I have to do the same for the RAM sticks that I got from PCS, or the slots that the new RAM is going to? ...I have been having issues with the RAM that I purchased from PCS as well...

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING motherboard additional RAM issues

    PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    Hi all thought to pop in again and say hi I have noticed that a few people are going from a 3080 to a 3070 which is what I did from day 1 and got my built in under 20 days from the moment I placed the order. My master plan was (and it still is) that in 1-2 years to sell the 3070 and be able to...

    PCSPECIALIST Beeps on boot

    Hi I have experienced the same issue with my new machine and I have found that the solution is it turn the monitor on before booting up. If I restart it is fine (which makes sense as the monitor is running already). Bit frustrating to begin as this is brand new and also I do remember that...

    Also I would like to say how grateful I am to the people of PC Specialist and the long hours that they have put in. I had no hope to have anything this side of Christmas and the fact that they have put in the hours to have it ready has earned all my respect. I say that, no matter if I get to...
