    PCSPECIALIST Upgrading PC RAM

    Hi all - I got my brand new PC Specialist desktop 2 years ago this very month during what was the great GPU shortage of the pandemic! Happy to report no issues, however, I'm thinking it might be time to upgrade my RAM from 16gb to 32gb. Specs below if needed: Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW...

    PCSPECIALIST Cleaning/Vacuuming PC Unit

    Hi, Just wondering the best way to clean the dust from the inside of the PC/fans? I've had my PC for over a year now and recently caught a glimpse of the dust behind the front casing, figured I should probably get that cleaned up. My case is a Lian Li Lancool II. I'm not very technical and...

    PCSPECIALIST Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm really enjoying some of the story aspects to this game but by god it's absolutely loaded with bugs all over the place. Blown away that it got its release when it did - can't envisage a time when it'll be as smooth as GTA or Fallout.

    PCSPECIALIST The Great RTX 3060ti Wait and Delivery Thread

    That's probably not a huge surprise though. As the email that was posted mentioned, they have genuinely no idea when these supplies will arrive. They may be getting told dates and in fact the suppliers never meet these deadlines or don't supply enough to cover off what was needed. Similarly...

    PCSPECIALIST Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm about 3hrs into the story and had quite a few bugs already, including a briefcase that was hovering in mid air blocking a doorway making it impossible for me to get through it! Apart from that been nothing too extreme aside from the usual minor bugs you expect in these large open world...

    PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    At a guess would imagine you've got something else in your build that's out of stock. For me it was my case, for others it could be your CPU/cooler/PSU etc. If in any doubt, get in touch with them to find out.

    PCSPECIALIST My first custom build - 5600x / 3070

    Ha - I shall wait for a few cable wraps and a couple of other bits and bobs before considering myself worthy of even daring to dream of 'the thread'. Red Dead seems a must really and I think now is as good a time as any as I feel emotionally ready to start it off from the beginning again, some...

    PCSPECIALIST My first custom build - 5600x / 3070

    Received my first ever custom build on Wednesday and spent the day updating everything before fully taking advantage of it last night. I am very happy with this PC! It was a turbulent time waiting, after 34 working days in the 3060Ti queue I took the plunge and switched over to the 3070 as I...

    Thanks - got it registering in both file explorer and disk management now so that should be that hopefully!

    PCSPECIALIST HDD not showing up

    That's done the trick. Feel a bit silly now! Cheers for your help though, would've been too scared to play about blindly with the wires off the bat.

    PCSPECIALIST HDD not showing up

    Just had a look and there's one cable running from the HDD (presume it's the SATA) but it's connected fine by the looks of things, even gave it a little push to make sure.

    PCSPECIALIST HDD not showing up

    Hey guys - the new rig arrive today and it looks beastly. I'm having trouble locating the HDD though, it's not showing up at all. The HDD is there and in one of the slots but tbh i'm not savvy with these things at all and don't want to poke around really further without some advice. I've...

    PCSPECIALIST The Great RTX 3060ti Wait and Delivery Thread

    It depends on how much you paid for the 3060Ti in the first place. My upgrade cost £178 but it was because the Ti was obviously cheaper when I bought it. The costs are fluctuating almost daily so what you pay won't necessarily be the same as what others pay.
