    PCSPECIALIST How a positive PCS experience plays out.....

    I thought it would be nice to give a quick rundown of my experience with PCS: I ordered Jan 29th and at that point the estimated build time was 21-23 working days - which would March 2nd. Pre-production started on Feb 5th. Every 5 calendar days I received an email with a new estimated build...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 5 5600X temperatures

    Hi all. I am sheepishly posting this as I feel some of you will be facepalming when you see me bring this topic up again. 🤦‍♂️ I have read so much on the Internet (also termed 'The Rabbit Hole') about 5600X temperatures with the stock Wraith Stealth cooler installed and flicked through so many...

    PCSPECIALIST Drive Configurations on a new build.....

    Right so - I have reached the point of confusion in terms of my planned Drive layout - probably because of so much discussion on here recently about LR and PS and where to keep what data which I have confused myself with!

    PCSPECIALIST Understanding the Variables.....

    Hi all, I am finding myself fascinated by the whole area of overclocking - and while I don't really have any intention to do it myself, I would really appreciate any insights and experience to help me better understand all the bits and pieces you need to ponder. Assuming it is OK with the Mods...

    Stumbled on this and thought it was interesting. Appears that Zen 3 may require questioning the usual advice that 2 stick ms of RAM are better than 4 for dual channel platforms? RAM Configs on Zen 3

    PCSPECIALIST Interesting response from PSU manufacturer?

    Maybe this isn't that strange, but it surprised me at least. I don't fully know what the forum rules are regarding naming Companys but to be safe I won't - although I don't imagine many will have to guess too hard. A while back when I was trying to figure out what to do in picking a PSU, I...

    PCSPECIALIST Where will my WIndows Install be?

    Just a quick one for you all..... I have ordered a terribly pathetic and modest build to fit my budget (actually it broke my budget - damn Amend Order button! :mad: :mad:). I have a Retail Digital Licence for W10, so I have selected the No OS required option. However I know that PCS will...

    PCSPECIALIST Why are Cases right handed?

    Apologies for the thread title - I had no idea what to call it! 😀 I’m just curious - every case I have seen that has a window side panel - plastic or glass - have them placed on the left hand side of the case. Which is a shame as my desk setup is such that the PC tower would suit sitting in the...

    PCSPECIALIST Standard Ryzen CPU Cooling

    Hi Everyone! Just ordered my first build and wondering how I will handle being a kid waiting for Christmas for the next 6 weeks or so before it possibly shows up! One quick query I do have though: I have ordered the Ryzen 7 3700X - when purchased separately this would be bundled with the...
