    PCSPECIALIST Faulty Zotac 3080

    Quick update. After 1 phone call I was asked to send the card back and a replacement gainward phoenix gs turned up yesterday (I said I didn't mind a different model) Super fast service and Pcspecialist deserve some positivity here. So far so good with the new card, no issues yet.

    PCSPECIALIST Faulty Zotac 3080

    Hello, I'm hoping for a bit of help here. I recently bought THIS PC from Currys, which came with a Zotac 3080 trinity card. Unfortunately due to having a Currys voucher from work I couldn't buy direct from here. A couple of days after it arrived I loaded some games up and noticed the GPU fans...

    Hi Guys, Has anyone got a link for the latest driver (windows 8) please? I downloaded Wireless_15.6.1_De64 from the clevo website but for some reason the EXE wont run, just a loading circle thing then closes. Wireless performance with a BT HH3 is sketchy at best presently with all other...

    PCSPECIALIST Clevo / optimus 4 windows 8 drivers?

    This is mainly aimed at the Admin but welcome any factual input. Is there any word from clevo regarding updated drivers for the W370ET chassis please? Most of the 7 stuff works OK but would of course be better with specific 8 drivers when released. Cheers.

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus IV 660m temps

    Hi Kreeeee, Jumped back to this thread as i sort of hijacked the other guys. Quick 10 minute play on guild wars came up with this: I'm guessing the CPU is fine, as it sat at 50 as we speak idle, but the GFX chip is still high. The core clock does jump to 950mhz though if that is relevant ...

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus IV 660m temps

    Optimus IV 660m temps and RMA experience Hi Guys, Just got my laptop and am wondering what sort of temps your GPU hits playing games. I just had a quick try with borderlands and it reached a max of 94 degrees and was always well above 80. Is that normal? Also the GPU fan under load is pretty...
