    PCSPECIALIST One of my Fans has Suddenly Started to be very Noisy

    What fan is it? Corsair? The cable doesn't disconnect from fan, the other end of it will be attached to either a fan hub or to a fan header on the motherboard. Either way you'd need to follow the wire back to it's end and disconnect in order to fully remove it. You'll need to open the side panel...

    PCSPECIALIST One of my Fans has Suddenly Started to be very Noisy

    Bearing might have failed, and yes sometimes a stubby screwdriver is needed. I think I had to resort to just using a screwdriver bit and turn it by hand to get a fan off previously. If PC is still under warranty, PC should replace, contact PCS to arrange a RMA

    PCSPECIALIST High Temps

    If it's still under warranty, PCS will replace for free. If not, you'll have to pay for a replacement.

    PCSPECIALIST High Temps

    Sounds a bit unbalanced air flow wise, if you have 5 intake and just one exhaust. I'm surprised AIO is set to intake, it's normally exhaust, at the top. I'd use HWInfo over iCUE to get system stats. Not sure why you need icue running if you don't have Corsair cooling. But if the peak load on...

    PCSPECIALIST H115i Cooler Firmware Update

    At the very least, find release notes for the firmware so you can see what it changes/fixes and decide if it's worth updating.

    PCSPECIALIST What cooling options do I have?

    Yeah, OEM case so will be hard to find much info on it out in the wild. You might have to resort to using a measuring tape to determine max cooler height etc. The front case fans are 120mm though, so any standard 120mm fans can replace them. Pretty sure that case comes with SATA fans, which...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for advice on new case fans and controller for cooler

    Well like I said earlier, my opinion on case fans isn't the same as yours, so each to their own.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC stuck in Asus UEFI BIOS Mode

    M.2 Drive is installed in one of three slots in this motherboard: I'd say in the top one, under the heatsink/cover. Which you'll need to unscrew first.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC stuck in Asus UEFI BIOS Mode

    Yep, as Spyder said, no boot drive, or any drive for that matter showing. So it could be the M.2 drive has become loose on the motherboard and needs to be reinserted, or worst case, the drive has failed and the BIOS is not able to detect it. Do you think you have the knowledge/skills to try...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for advice on new case fans and controller for cooler

    So I'd disagree with Spyder's view (sorry!) that case fans should run at static speed, this is not true. If case fans were run at a static speed, you'd either have the fan running at a low speed that gives quieter acoustics, but not enough performance when temps rise, or vice versa. They are...

    Ok I’d have to disagree with Spyder on this. I’ll post more info once kids in bed.

    PCSPECIALIST Graphics card not working?

    Couple of checks: 1) You've connected monitor to the GPU, and not the motherboard HDMI/DP connection? 2) Have you done a complete uninstall of GPU drivers using DDU, and reinstall?

    PCSPECIALIST First build pc - casual gaming/video editing (davinci resolve)

    Couple of issues at first glance Slow ram, 6000 is the sweet spot for Ryzen Strange drive setup. I’d get a fast gen 4 M.2 for OS, 500GB is fine, 1TB max. Then a second larger drive for games and data. 2TB ideally. Gen4 if budget stretches, but with Gen3 you wouldn’t see a noticeable performance...

    PCSPECIALIST Lian Li - Liquid cooling - How do you tell if it’s working?

    You should contact PCS directly about this. Temps do seem high for liquid cooling, so something is not working as intended. Liquid cooling has a higher level of complexity and require regular maintenance. They’re best suited to someone who has experience of building PCs previously rather than a...
