Heya folks, Been awhile since I last posted. Finally saw a 17" version of a laptop with a 3070 Ti (new Ionico) and was hoping someone had some experience on maybe like the 15" or a previous version of the Ionico laptops in terms of how effective standard laptop coolers go - the last laptop I...

Hmm I thought about this as well when I was watching benchmark videos of the new cards. I guess I was thinking along the lines of "futureproofing", although I know it's not really the most realistic thing. Do you really believe that the 2070 Super would be both overkill and not worth the...

Hey folks, As everyone on this forum and YouTube has mentioned, waiting to get any new builds is the smart thing to do, and here we are. So I'd like some advice on how to go about my new build. Apologies in advance as this'll likely be a bit of a long one. As for use, it'll be mainly used for...

Just as an update, I've added another 8gb of RAM and, at least in the case of Battlefield V I’ve had a much, much smoother experience. I used to run it on whatever that sort of adaptive setting is or medium and still get stutters. Now I can comfortably run it on high, and even ultra was fairly...

I think it's that there's just not enough physical RAM. My framerates are generally consistent, and then they're not, and I've gotten a lot more stuttering and frame jumps with the games I've been playing lately, also a lot of crashes and the rare BSOD here and there. I've tested the RAM that I...

I just spent the last couple of hours watching videos about the 2070 and you're right -- the price for performance just really can't be justified. It looks like the 2060 is the only card that is actually worth it at it's price point. I think that if I were to pull the trigger now I'd actually go...

As I've seen a lot of frustration on the price points of the RTX series, and a sort of "lack" of any real competition from AMD once you get to the mid-higher end of the spectrum, maybe the 2070 upward, I was thinking on pulling the trigger on a new build with a 2070. I am however, not a real fan...

Hey folks, Been awhile since I've been on here. I'll be moving soon and I was planning on getting a new pc for when I've moved instead of lugging my older one. Side question: What do people generally do with older PC's? Does PCS do any trade-in things or anything like that? Doubt it but hey ho...

Hey folks, been a good couple of years since I've been on here. Basically replacing my girlfriend's old gaming laptop with a 675M, as it bluescreens very often, is just plain old, noisy and overheats a lot. I've actually already ordered this spec but awaiting the parts which should be due in on...

Hey guys, I just moved addresses, and although I did add a wifi card to my build but it's really tough to get signal. I've looked around the forums and a lot of people have suggested homeplugs, and just wondered.. How do they work exactly? And what/ how many would I need? As an example, the...

Hey all, I've had 3 gaming laptops in the past 7 years as I've moved around a lot, but just found them too impractical financially speaking, when it comes to upgrading. Ordered my first PC since forever, and now I have to move. I'm going to be posting a lot of my stuff to my new address as I...

Hey guys, So after around a week with this keyboard -- the Razer Deathstalker Expert Gaming Keyboard -- I've decided I don't like it, and am now on the hunt for my first mechanical keyboard, with specific criteria in mind. First and foremost -- sound. It has to be the most quiet type there is...

Hey guys, I don't know if I'm just being an idiot, but I can't seem to get any sound from my speakers when I connect them directly to my soundcard (Asus Xonar DG 5.1). I've tried every single connector but I get no sound. When I connect it to the headphone slot on the front of my case however...

Hey (yet again) guys, This is (hopefully) the only issue with my PC right now, and I have to wait til Monday to find out what happens, I wanted to ask here if you guys know what PCS will do. Basically when my PC arrived and I finally got myself a mini HDMI, booted it up and noticed that it...

I've had another issue with my computer unfortunately. I'm assuming that things may have gotten a bit bumpy during delivery, but when I first turned my PC on, it could only recognize 1 of my hard drives, and my secondary HD was not recognized. When I took out the drive I saw that first, the HD's...
