Thank you! This tool helped a lot. It ran an automated fan check which turned different fans on and off and created a profile so I could choose silent and it turned them down. It doesn't seem to have picked up all of the fans, two of the three front fans are now turned down along with the 2 at...

Thanks for the advice. I've opened up iCue - there are four devices, my "K70 RGB MK2" which is my keyboard, "H115i Platinum" which is my processor, "Vengeance RGB Pro" which is the RAM, and "Lighting Node Pro" which I think is a thing I can plug lights into that's not used. The CPU is the only...

I bought the following system from PCS a little while before Christmas: Case CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 680X RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT 12 Core CPU (4.7GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready! Memory...

The PC I ordered from PCSpecialist arrived this evening, and after setting it up it says it can't connect to the Internet. The PC came with Windows preinstalled and with the following wireless card: WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0 I screwed the...

Of course I can get a refund but it's a bit late now, I made my bet on PCS at launch day, even with their total lack of transparency I expect I will still eventually receive what I paid for earlier than if I made a brand new order elsewhere now. I'd certainly think twice before purchasing...

And apologies if I'm coming across as aggressive. I was ok with the wait, I know there are shortages and I'd been ignoring the incorrect emails they've been sending me for weeks. Today was the first time I actually contacted PCS about it and am just annoyed at how dismissive they were of a...

I read your post. They don't have to give out actual numbers if it's an NDA that's preventing them from providing reasonable customer service. They could say I'm 20% down the queue of people who ordered on launch day, and they've whittled it down by 10% in the time since then, so I could make my...

Yeah it feels like people are trying to make excuses for pretty poor information coming out of PCS. I keep getting emails every few days saying build will start a couple of days from then. This is never remotely true and if anything I'm starting to wonder if it's deliberate false information to...

Is there a reason for including both the 2TB and 500GB SSDs? Should I be using one for OS and one for applications? I noticed that switching from 3200MHz to 3600Mhz RAM (4x8 rather than 2x16) would actually be cheaper. Would that not be better?

Yeah I guess we'll see what happens when preorders officially open tomorrow :) thanks for the advice, it's very helpful

You might be right, but there's only a couple of hundred difference, and the 3080 is due to be available a month sooner than the 3070, which makes a difference when I've got no PC at all right now.

Thanks for the advice. I will probably go for a 3080 over a 3070, for future proofing. A high spec monitor is something I can definitely consider buying later, but I'd prefer not to be changing out the graphics card myself any time soon.

Looking to purchase a PC once the new GPUs are come available, having only had a Macbook for many years. Mainly pushed by Flight Sim 2020, but I'd also like to use it for general gaming. I would also be using it for software development. I have a pair of Dell 1440p u2713hm which are excellent...

Alternatively I'd be willing to purchase a PC in advance with no GPU that you certified as guaranteed 3080 ready (in terms of power supply / pci slots / space / cooling capacity etc), then source the GPU when they're available.

I have the same question. If I can't order a PC with a new GPU until the release date, and there's a few weeks lead time on building the PC, does that mean it's not possible to get one delivered on / close to release date? Could we build a PC with no graphics card and ask for it to be built and...
