    PCSPECIALIST New Recoil Series: 17" Matte QHD 240Hz sRGB 100% LED Widescreen (2560x1600)

    It could be overheating, did you order this laptop with the liquid cooling unit? Honestly in my opinion it shouldn't be sold without it because it will thermal throttle on it's own

    PCSPECIALIST Premier League Gone Mad

    reported 104mil as opposed to 124mil gets a 10point deduction is absolutely wild and massive overreach in my opinion Watch Man City get the "highest EVER" fine which is actually buttons to them

    PCSPECIALIST Black Friday PC

    Pretty much no one here will recommend a pre-built system, generally pre-builds are designed to cut corners. Offer the newest shiniest big number components and then take shortcuts everywhere they can be hidden generally in the motherboard, RAM, PSU, etc the things that give a build longevity...

    PCSPECIALIST Modern Warfare 3 review bombing

    The fact you have to have MW2 installed to play it is kind of a massive give away. Was made in less than a year too which doesn't bode well The series really has gone to the dogs, COD4 was as close to perfection a shooter ever got for me and since then it's been a steep down hill sprint for...

    PCSPECIALIST Does this spec look ok?

    Basically they are much better balanced, they will have much fewer "quirks" they will run a lot smoother and most importantly they are set up for future upgrades so you'll get real longevity from them

    PCSPECIALIST SFF PC for music production (Avid Pro Tools) and light video editing

    "Compact, Power & Quiet" are not words that go together with a PC mate, pick two basically it would be close to impossible to go with three I understand previous AMD machines had real problems with certain software but the Intel options are just so bad and expensive that it's hard to recommend...

    The PSU was to allow for a GPU upgrade in future, the weaker part of the machine is the GPU and the higher end beefier ones use ALOT more power so that's why we recommended the 850W as a minimum When it comes time to upgrade you may have to change both the PSU and GPU which is quite a big job...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Spec (build options and questions)

    The H150i would be drastic overkill but it does look really nice and suit the aesthetics of the 5000D more I can't remember which Coolermaster case it is but one of them is funny with the radiator placements, just worth double checking if the H100i can be roof mounted and if it can then it's a...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Spec (build options and questions)

    Looks spot on mate, probably overkilling it on the motherboard but that's never a bad thing if it's still in budget

    PCSPECIALIST Double checking

    I wouldn't recommend any of the 14th gen Intel chips to anyone, they are awful mate. Just read some reviews or watch some reviewers takes. They are pretty terrible on every measurable front You can see our thread on it here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/intel-14th-gen.94909/

    Looks like a really solid choice mate, what you've done is bought fantastic bones bascially. You'll be able to make upgrades to this by simply swapping the GPU a few years down the line and it'll be like a brand new machine again, you could push 7+ years out of this with appropriate care and...

    Oh well the 3060 is a great shout for CAD, especially on the 2D side of things. It'll do REVIT fine but on CAD it'll be grand. CAD is still fairly poorly optimised so it's all about single clock speed over core count On the Intel & AMD front, Intel is basically where AMD where 10 years ago...

    Sorry mate got glaze over my eyes when you mentioned the CM690 I wouldn't go small form factor it's basically a laptop except it has none of the features of a laptop like the portability. They have all the downsides of both laptops and desktops with none of the upsides So I'll suggest a...

    PCSPECIALIST Need help on which PC Gaming unit to buy??

    £500-£600 you're not getting a gaming machine mate unfortunately, at that budget you're much better buying a console. It'll be a far greater experience For entry level gaming you're talking around £900-£1000 at a push, that would be a very tight budget. Anything you buy at the 500-600£ mark...

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    I always thought reality shows could add a touch of drama and stakes if they just straight up killed the people who get voted out "Welcome to this weeks X-Factor remember to vote for your favourite act or watch them burn alive"

    It's was so incredibly unnecessarily large but it was great for airflow. Ran an overlocked to hell and back 2500K at 4.6Ghz for so many years without so much as hearing a peep from the thing It still lives with my mate who decided he would take it when I got my new machine, still tempted to go...
