    PCSPECIALIST Thermal (re)paste options

    As I've seen a couple of red temp warnings over the last few days (but not during the hotter days we had last week, so I don't believe it's ambient temp related), I thought it about time that I re-pasted my almost 3-year old Corsair H100i AIO...or is it time for a complete replacement :oops...

    PCSPECIALIST No Man's Sky

    Only just started it again...but on my Mac...and the cross-play, cross-save feature is not finding any of my saves from the Windows version of the game (both using the same Steam account). I must say, it performs very well on my Mac Studio on the default 5k @ 60hz (5120x2880), but I've turned...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD following in the footsteps of Nvidia - RX7600 DOA too?!

    Anything you can do, I can do better...although more 'in a coma', rather than 'dead on arrival'.

    PCSPECIALIST RTX4070 reviews are out

    TLDR = performance is slap-bang between a 3080 and 3080Ti in about half the games tested, and between a 3070Ti and 3080 in the other half...but the recommendation is to get a 6950XT for the same price, but better performance.

    PCSPECIALIST Battle of the OLED Ultra-Wides (Hardware/Monitors Unboxed)

    If you've got £1000 burning a hole in your pocket, I'm sure one of these will do their best to relieve you of it.

    PCSPECIALIST Amazon Spring Sale 2023

    Just starting this to share any 'bargains' I find. Of course, I know a lot of the discounts are 'fake', so I'll try to whittle those out. For example, there's a 15% saving on a Samsung Odyssey Neo G8...but it's exactly the same price as shown on the Samsung site...so the 15% discount is...

    PCSPECIALIST Upgrade configurator borked - shows incompatible parts?

    Just went in to the Upgrade tool to help with another user's post, and noticed that whilst there's no option/cost to upgrade my 5800x to a 5800x3D (which I'm not actually considering), there are options to fit all the 70x0 CPUs...and it lets me go all the way through the 'compatibility...

    PCSPECIALIST Drafts disappearing?

    Has anyone else experienced lengthy draft replies disappearing...even when clicking 'save draft' before leaving the page? Just spent an hour typing a reply, but it kept coming up with the 'Oops - something went wrong' (or similar) message when I went to submit it. So I clicked 'save draft' and...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on new 4k monitor?

    Assuming no impending release of a sub-£1k OLED 4K 32" monitor, and on the basis that I'll wait for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, is there any better option at the sub-£1k price-point for a 27-32" 4k 144Hz monitor than my current favourite front-runner, the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD: 32” IPS...

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 11 boot issue

    Well, that new-to-W11-experience has just gone south very quickly...:cautious: Decided to do a clean install of the Nvidia drivers as I'd just been updating them each time since I installed the 3080Ti, and thought that may resolve the lower numbers I'm seeing in TimeSpy. Set the system to...

    PCSPECIALIST New BENDABLE Corsair monitor

    OLED too, so might be the perfect solution for someone (like me) who doesn't like much (if any) curve to their monitor.

    PCSPECIALIST Youtube review of CurrysPCW PCSpecialist pre-built

    From DawidDoesTech. He was pleasantly surprised, despite his commenters saying how awful their pre-builts are (PCWorld's - not PCSpecialist's).

    PCSPECIALIST Samsung Odyssey G8 Neo Review [HardwareUnboxed]

    Doesn't seem overly impressed with it...the G7 Neo seems the better buy.

    PCSPECIALIST New Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 (32" 4k curved @ 240hz!!!)

    Not seen anything about this on here, and very little on youtube...but what monster of a GPU would you need to drive this at 240hz. About £1300 in the UK, supposednly available in June in the US, and other regions shortly after...
