    PCSPECIALIST Brand New PC Specialist PC Crashing

    It's worth switching out the cable for a trial. Even trying an HDMI as an interim check might be worthwhile. The tab for the GPU will be between the cooler and the GPU itself. It's difficult to recommend anything physical if she isn't comfortable doing so, probably not worth risking. If you...

    PCSPECIALIST iCue error messages on boot

    Looks like some files are missing/corrupt. I would backup any profiles and install the latest one.

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Went and seen Deadpool 3 last night. I don't even know what to say about it. It made very little sense, it was stupid and the main plot was wafer thin. If it wasn't for the bonkers delivery this movie would have absolutely tanked. This is the thing though. I can't put that "Bonkers delivery"...

    PCSPECIALIST Brand New PC Specialist PC Crashing

    That definitely looks like a hardware issue but it could be something as simple as slightly misaligned PCI-e pins. Are you able to access the logs etc? Do you have some sort of display now that you can use? I would switch it all off, power it off at the wall and then re-seat the GPU by gently...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Not to mention the cost savings with the power difference. I know this might not be too impactful in the bottom line but it will be for what you show on your efficiency metrics and company display boards :D

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Unfortunately synthetic and real world tend to be quite different. Real world power users aren't going to be looking at 14600k's and 9700X's.... that's gaming territory where it's more simple threaded workloads. When it comes to the big boys AM5 and 14th gen currently trade blows synthetically...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    I may be wrong here but I was positive that previous releases the top tier was out first followed by the lesser variants. This felt like a cash grab to get desperate early adopters buying the more expensive premium chips rather than waiting for the newer lower tier offerings. Now we have the...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Mutlicore looks to be deliberately power limited. It'll be the only saving grace for the chip IMO. If it can't be unlocked for serious gains then I think they definitely got the naming wrong and the 9700X should actually be called the 9600X to give a worthwhile jump in performance. I honestly...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Looks poor but the headroom could be interesting. I think you could unlock a ton of performance given the TDP headroom there.

    I've not braved de-lidding the AM5...... yet.... It doesn't need it though, IMO.

    We're rewatching californication right now. On season 6 so not long to go. It's really good, never mind mike..... Everybody wants to be like Hank! Great risque fun though and really cool. I'm watching Psych. I'm sort of half watching it as it doesn't command much attention. I wouldn't really...

    PCSPECIALIST Another Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet Experience

    I'm really impressed. Normally there's a lot of hype with this sort of product but it's all positives as far as I can see. Sure, it's not quite the peaks of LM but it smashes it out the park with every other metric. Application couldn't be easier and the fact that you should get a lifetime out...

    PCSPECIALIST Another Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet Experience

    Similar to @SpyderTracks thread Here I had picked up the kryosheet for my laptop a while back. It ended up getting lost so I did a repaste with conventional MX-4 and waited on the replacement. When it came, I had never bothered to change it as it was working OK. My plan for the laptop is to use...

    PCSPECIALIST Videographer moving from Mac to PC… Help?

    The primary is the P44. Won't make any odds on the cache or for typical fast storage. Only real reason to opt for the faster drives as a secondary are for direct access purposes, which is a gaming advantage and still doesn't seem to be fully deployed yet. 4GB/s is still silly quick for 95% of...
