I've just noticed that the KS version of the i9-9900 has gone missing from the configure list. ⁉ Not greyed out, just out. Well, that'll be out of my build list then. 🙄

...the saga continues... Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... I thought it best to check with PCS that my build was OK before I pressed the GO! button on both the order with them and one for the case. I got a quick reply saying that, on the whole the configuration would...

...you've set my mind at ease and I thank you from the heart of my bottom. I'm a confirmed pessimist, that way, I'm never disappointing, only pleasantly surprised.

I hope that it won't be a bumpy ride! 😱

The word from Fractal Design is that the two panels (glass/solid) aren't interchangeable so Dark Tempered Glass it is. Time to hold my breath, shut my eyes, cross my fingers stiffen my sinews and press the Proceed button 😨

I think that's what the young people these days call "Thinking outside the case box." 🙄 Did I mention I used to write the jokes for Christmas crackers? Having thought about it, it might be blessing in disguise, as you rightly say, It's a good reminder to get the air duster out. It looks like...

I'm an old belt, braces, a second belt, some string & safety pins sort 😓 that just can't have enough copies of stuff. I've got a RAID 1 NAS that I use for True Image backups but, providing I'm not degrading the setup, I'd kick myself if I lost something.

I must be getting better…I understood most of that. :geek: I always take a bow 🙇‍♂️ to superior knowledge and so a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum Hydro Series CPU Cooler it is. I’ve checked out the details and it looks like Corsair’s iCUE software includes an RGB setting for my favourite – black...

Blimey! I've now got a centre parting where pretty much all of that went whizzing over my head o_O As I mentioned, if it helped, I could go back to the K as I was only aiming to build in as much future proofing that I could while I've got the option (and the money) and I won't be overclocking...

NOOOooo… I thought I’d got it cracked! I went for the Noctua NH-U14S following a forum suggestion previously. I did quite a bit of Googling then before adding it to the build and the consensus across independent sites was that it would do the job. This view was backed up by Noctua’s own test...

2 months on from first looking through the window of the toy shop and its finally time to send that letter to Santa (aka press the order button). I’ve cleaned the build list up from my previous thread and listed how it stands now. It is for home use, mostly video editing/re-coding, trying to...

I say! That's a nice bit of kit, and as you say, a small(er) case overall. I've been going around in circles, sometimes thinking I should build it myself, other times changing the spec when I refresh the quote but it's about time I "pulled the trigger" and got the build started. Many thanks for...

I was trying to minimise the footprint (and noise) of the case due to the space I've got and where my "office" is in the house so intended on getting the 275R and adding the 2 extra ML120 120mm fans to help with the cooling.

Home use, mostly video editing/re-coding and 3D CAD. I'm not looking for a light show which is why all the internals will be hidden in a Corsair Carbide Series 275Q case so aesthetics isn't an issue, I'm just going for the maximum GPU processing power and it looks like both versions will do the...

If I specify 11GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti, does anyone know which version it will be? If I Google that card I can choose from lots of different versions - ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte…so do PCS choose one that best matches the other parts, particularly the make of Motherboard, or is there a...

The websites - Intel "Memory Types - DDR4-2666" and Gigabyte - "DDR4 4266(O.C.)/4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3800(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3666(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3400(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz memory modules"

From what I've been reading, new members get the impression that, as the forum is part of the PCS website, that it is run and administered by PCSpecialist. I did until the advice I was getting clearly showed otherwise - suggesting kit that saved me money. Maybe there is a way to make it clearer...

Being the geek that I am, I’ve been Googleing and noticed that the maximum RAM speed for the i9 is 2666 MHz. Not knowing anything about overclocking, if I specify faster, will PCS overclock the system to access it at the higher speed? Or would I be better off specing 2666 and if so, am I going...

SSD for the OS and the HDDs for the other stuff.

Is it wrong to be this excited about a new PC? :rolleyes: This all very much appreciated and why I posted here. I like to think that I know a lot about a lot and have been on plenty of steep learning curves over the years when it comes to tech, both hardware and software but why start a new one...
