@TonyCarter ... Thanks again Tony, I'll get the SSD ordered because either way I will be able to install it. I would prefer to have it on the motherboard of course.

@TonyCarter ... Thanks Tony. As it happens, I was going through the box of 'junk' that came with the PC and I stumbled across the ROG Hyper M.2 card 👍

Case COOLERMASTER COSMOS C700M TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i9 24-Core Processor i9-13900K (Up to 5.8GHz) 36MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO WIFI (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe 5.0) - ARGB Ready Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 5600MHz (2 x 16GB)...

My gaming PC has an ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z690 motherboard and it has two SSD slots - I am using both. I want to add a third 2TB SSD specifically for DCS World. I assume I can install a PCI M.2 adapter but is there a performance tradeoff? From the info I can find, it looks like this installation of...

Hi Yes, it is PC Specialist PC but I have resolved the problem, I'll explain for anyone else who has the same 'issue'. It occured to me that I am using a Bluetooth connected keyboard and then I was thinking, how is the PC going to recognise the keyboard before it's booted up? I plugged in my...

I have a ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO WIFI (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe 5.0) motherboard and when booting it asks for F2 or Delete to be pressed to boot to the BIOS. So I have tried both in any number of different combinations ... pressing each while the computer is booting, holding down each while it...

Sorry guys, I just figured it out. It seems that the Cosmos C700M has alternative configurations and the riser cable allows you to move the graphics card to a vertical position to show it off in all it's glory. Right anyone? I just left this thread on in case anyone else was wondering.

Yo, yo! My new gaming computer arrived today. The case is the Cosmos C700M with 'Addressable RGB Lighting' and 'Riser Cable'. So what on earth is a 'Riser Cable'? It must be quite trick to warrant printing the fact on the box :p

I sit about 800mm from the screen. When I fly in DCS the cockpit looks about full size LOL At least I can see the enemy now! :D

It's a feature of the monitor. And yes, you do have to put up with the big black borders. You can shift the screen area up and down so it's not so bad if I align it with my second monitor. The 34" and 27" are wide screen format.

LOL It's all to do with how close you are. If you put a piece of paper in front of you with a centre line and a 45 degree angle either side, where the 45 degree lines bisect the edge of the monitor that's how far away it should be 👍🏻You can actually set the screen size on this monitor so for...

Hi Guys Jus a quick update, the computer in being built as we speak and, after much deliberation, I have decided to pair it up with the Asus 42" ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ monitor. I have an ultra wide monitor at the moment (3440 x 1440) but I find in DCS World that static objects tend to have a...

Hi MArtin36. I have a five port hub I use now and it doesn't seem to slow things down. After all, all I'm using is joystick, throttle, TrackIR, headphones etc. I did get a powered hub however, which I think is important.

Perfect. My current PC looks the same as the image you posted so I sort of imagined the new PC would be fairly similar. Well, that's settled. I'll place the order today. Thanks again for your input on this, it's been invaluable in helping me make the right decisions 👍

I agree with you on the warranty, I have always bought my PC's/Laptops from PC Specialist and I have never needed to claim on any of the warranties, which I think says a lot for the build and quality of the componenets!
