Thanks, I'll try and dig around and find a manual for the case and the MB and see what should go where. When I get home.

Hi, Before I email PCS , I was wondering if anyone has any quick advice on what to check with a non functioning USB port on my recent PCS build. The motherboard is an ASUS X570-F The case is a Corsair 500D se The cooler is a Corsair H115i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro If I put a USB device...

Thanks for the feedback. I had a Firecuda in to start with. I changed the spec after ordering. One of the reasons is that the 980 is a more power efficient than the 520 Firecuda. Lets power/less heat/less ware (hopefully). I'm hopeing this PC will last me 5 years or more hopefully. This...

At the moment Intel are rubbish. Yes, I did read and agree with all you have posted, it was your post(s) that made me switch from INTEL to AMD. But It might not have been clear that I did opt for the AMD. All I was trying (badly it seems) to say, was that I'm hoping Intel will take notice and...

My bad english (I've changed my post). I meant in terms of company rather than current offering!

Hi, I have just ordered a new PC, and like you I thought I would avoid AMD. (although 100% sticking with Nvidia). Having read the advice here. I did some searching and what did it for me was the much lower power consumption due to the 7nm on the AMD. Less power means less heat, less noise, less...

Thanks, that what I thought when I placed the order, but I just thought I would ask! Appreciate the feedback :)

Hi, below is my order. I'd forgot to ask one thing. Should I have gone for additional case fans? Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB...

Thanks to everyone who responded, the feedback was very helpful. The ASUS AOS 3080TI is back for builds today, so I opted for that. Thanks again, your input was much appreciated.

The difference in price between the 3200 and 3600 is £20. Is £20 pounds worth it? If I'm going to be processing videos (Premiere), then I would guess this could make a difference...

Off Topic: The desk is fantastic. It was made a small friendly company called Absalom Classics. (Sorry if this breaks forum rules, please delete..).

Thanks for the tip on paste. I was going to add warranty, but thanks for the reminder:)

I had a desk made to my specification, and I made a mistake in that I hadn't considered that I couldn't use the entire shelf for the PC. So I need a case 235mm or under... The CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE is a PERFECT fit!!! I could cut the 'middle' bar out, as its mainly cosmetic, but I...

Hi, I have an old (2011) system, that is dying. Its based on a I2600K chip, which when I compare it to the last generation if CPU's still held strong (against a I7700K). The system is starting to creak, couple of minor hardware issues. The M/B I think is sound and the CPU and memory ok. The...
