    PCSPECIALIST Issues with having games and youtube open

    Refresh rate conflict? No reason that setup shouldn't run both in my opinion. What is the second monitor?

    PCSPECIALIST Building a rig that lasts

    Fair enough. It's an easy upgrade later on anyway.

    PCSPECIALIST Building a rig that lasts

    I'm not so sure about recommending a 12GB VRAM GPU for a modern gaming PC.

    PCSPECIALIST NEW PC CAME DIRTY !!!

    I wonder if someone else sent in their own case for their build and it got mixed up.

    PCSPECIALIST AMD/Nvidia Build Check

    5070ti is half the power and so it should be OK. The sloppiness and laziness of the power implementation would still put me off the product. What other short cuts might they have made in quality for instance?

    PCSPECIALIST PC Review (Ordered but processing)

    Personally I would always have a separate OS drive. Makes it easier to reinstall windows and stops clutter/maintains boot speed. Edit: 2 others beat me to it. I must go on a typing course.

    PCSPECIALIST Autistic Adult Who knows nothing

    You could ring PCS but I doubt they will know. The cards are basically all the same so paying the extra £100 depends on whether you are prepared to wait or not. It could be days or it could be weeks, especially as it's the Chinese holidays at the moment.

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 11 upgrade - TPM

    There are ways to upgrade if you google it. It requires registry hacks and could be overridden by Microsoft at any point in the future. I managed to upgrade a 10 year old laptop with no TPM and an unsupported CPU.

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 10 to 11 Replacement CPU for AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics

    I am running a 10 year old laptop with unsupported hardware on W11 and I get all updates. Needs registry mods though.

    PCSPECIALIST Upgrade Photoeditting PC to for Windows 11

    You can upgrade to Windows 11 if you know what you are doing. It needs a few registry tweaks and a pen drive. I did a 10 year old laptop and it works but runs like a dog lol. Not recommending it, just saying it is possible.

    PCSPECIALIST Buy or wait?

    You need to wait for the reviews. The corporate announcements are fairly meaningless.

    PCSPECIALIST High CPU usage on simple file zip

    No, you are not understanding how it works. Ubuysa explained it very clearly. The CPU is designed to run at 100% (or sometimes more) so it is not "stressed" as you say. If you are that concerned then limit the number of threads the zip utility uses to less than 24, I suggest you google how to do...
