    PCSPECIALIST i7-12700KF - ROG STRIX RTX 3080

    Thank you @DarTon I've seen there are a few ViewSonic XG320U as well, although the price point is quite high ( round 1.000£) so not sure, still leaning towards the M32U but will take some time to decide. Have a great weekend all !

    PCSPECIALIST i7-12700KF - ROG STRIX RTX 3080

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I've looked into monitors and as you've all said there aren't a lot of choices if we restrict to the 32" segment. @DarTon thanks a lot for the info. I've looked into the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD before for the wider colour gamut ( I do some lightroom work as a...

    PCSPECIALIST i7-12700KF - ROG STRIX RTX 3080

    The beast has finally arrived! Few highlights so far: - GPU is very very silent & super low temps (round 67C), even at high loads, some light coil whine only - so I am glad I spent extra $ on the ROG GPU (or maybe I am just trying to justify the extra - perhaps not necessary - cost :ROFLMAO:) -...

    PCSPECIALIST New 5000X RGB, 5900X

    Amazing build @drewbusby - I have one very similar coming soon as well with PCS (currently sitting at day 10 - processing). One thing I wanted to ask you, did you add an additional fan when selecting the components? And did you specify you wanted as a rear exhaust? I know the 5000X should come...

    PCSPECIALIST Pc for 4k gaming and photo editing

    Thank you both! I think I'll keep it as it is for now - as suggested by @sck451 - (maybe just swap for the H150i which adds an extra fan and seem a little quieter than the h115i) and perhaps order a new front panel if things get hot down the line :)

    PCSPECIALIST Pc for 4k gaming and photo editing

    Another doubt I had was regarding cooling and airflow. I read around that the CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING is not great in terms of airflow and it only comes with 3 included case fans. Do you reckon I'd need at least another one or two case fans to maintain a good temperature range...

    PCSPECIALIST Pc for 4k gaming and photo editing

    Thank you so much @sck451 - those all sounds like reasonable choices / changes! I was also thinking initially to upgrade to a TUF 3080ti for an added £500 but I am not 100% sure if it is worth the money? what do you think? perhaps not as seeing some reviews it looks like performances aren't...

    Hey everyone, I sold my old desktop pc and I am looking for an upgrade / replacement. I will be mainly gaming and doing some photo editing in a 4k screen. My budget is 2.5k/3k but I am also happy if I spend a little less than that, would the below be a good config / potentially future-proof...

    PCSPECIALIST Viper III 15.6"

    TLDR, I have been nothing but impressed by the Vyper, it is light, thin, very portable, yet a mini powerhouse of a laptop. I've have had the laptop for 10 days now and so far, I've been really happy with it. I'll proceed to review based on specific features / topics. Performances: this laptop...

    PCSPECIALIST Beep sounds - Gigabyte AORUS Ultra Gaming MOBO

    Hi guys, My PC recently started to give me a long beep when it boots up the system. So when I turn it on, it gives me a short beep, which has always done. But after the first pc specialist screen where I could choose to enter BIOS - it starts to boot the system and gives me this very long beep...

    PCSPECIALIST Zotac GTX 1080ti - heating issues

    So the radiator is mounted at the front - and this is where i think the problem is- pulling in hot air and 2 fans exhausting on the top and in the back. It would be great if I could mount the radiator at the top exhausting hot air together with a case fan at the back + 3 fans pulling in cold...

    PCSPECIALIST Zotac GTX 1080ti - heating issues

    Hi! I recently received my new rig from PC Specialist and started to test it with a few 4k gaming. However, everything I put on at 4k seems to raise GPU temps quite high 80-85 C (even with fan speed 100%). I was wondering if there is a way to reduce temps to below 80 on load without...
