    PCSPECIALIST PC Dropping 100 Frames for Split Seconds

    Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if this is due to Cold War being quite unoptimised, my setup sometimes drops down to 50fps compared to the usual 150-180fps. Are you noticing a drop in any other games or just Cold War? I noticed a new driver update was released today, try download this and see...

    PCSPECIALIST PCSpecialist x PC Building Simulator collab?

    It's a great game, especially to get whilst it's on sale! Surprisingly it's quite demanding if you want it on the highest settings, but definitely a good purchase :)

    PCSPECIALIST PCSpecialist x PC Building Simulator collab?

    Honestly wasn't sure which section to post this in, but I reckon it would be preeeetty cool to see a collab here! Would love to be able to build PC's in the PCSpecialist warehouse ;) So uh...how do we make this happen? 👀

    PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    Would the cooling be fine as it is or should I add more fans onto it? If the 3080Ti is rumoured to come out around the end of May then I have plenty of time for adjustments, so no rush!

    PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    I can wait for the 3080Ti, got a while to be thinking about it yet :) would you say everything else seems reasonable? Edit: Would it be even more worth it going for the ASUS version or just keep it at the basic version when released? Waiting for it too ;)

    PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    This sure would be a monster! 🤯 I've set £4500 as my budget, just so there *hopefully* really isn't holdback on anything - anything cheaper would be a win :) Do we happen to know what brand of 3090 it would be? Would getting the extra case fans also be worth it?

    PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    Anything cheaper than £4500 is a win, if it saves money! I'm looking at the CROSSHAIR VIII HERO WIFI due to the extra USB slots on here - would it be worth swapping this out?

    PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    So I recently made a post that I'd be wanting to upgrade to a 3090 at some point and was advised to go for the 3080 instead, which is fine by me. I'd also need to upgrade my PSU and also my case for better airflow, which is fine. HOWEVER, today I've received a very pretty looking email from my...

    PCSPECIALIST MY PC REVIEW - FROM ORDER TO DELIVERY AND TEST

    They're just behind the camera a little, got it around the edges of the glass panel so it can't be seen from the outside :P

    If you don't have full RGB then what's the point in any RGB at all? ;)

    PCSPECIALIST Will the RTX 3090 be beaten?

    Alright thanks for the info! Do you have any particular case you're a fan of, that could cope with the heat? I don't mind the price if it's definitely going to help out with the cooling

    PCSPECIALIST Will the RTX 3090 be beaten?

    Will have to do some saving up for a 4K 144Hz then! 😅 I currently have the Lian-Li Lancool II, I'll definitely need an upgrade on the PSU so I'm thinking of maybe a 1000W PSU when I do the upgrade. Would you say the case needs upgrading too?

    PCSPECIALIST Will the RTX 3090 be beaten?

    When I was planning on going for the 3090 I was planning on going for a 4K 120Hz monitor alongside it. I currently have a 1440p 165Hz monitor and a 4K 60Hz monitor so it's fine for now. Would my current 10700K be fine with a 3080Ti in terms of bottlenecking?

    PCSPECIALIST Will the RTX 3090 be beaten?

    Had my PC for about a year now, got a 2070 Super and it's running good! However, in a year or so when hopefully the shortages get...shorter...I'll be looking to sell the 2070 Super and upgrade to the 3090. Now, my question is, is it looking likely for something better than the 3090 to be coming...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Temps keep spiking

    Installed the new cooler today, so far I think the temps are good! Idling between 30-35c with multiple tabs of Chrome open compared to the 60-70c MINIMUM from before! RGB is cool too... ;) Thanks for the help!

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Temps keep spiking

    Hey guys :) Just an update, looks like my new cooler is going to be arriving tomorrow so that'll be a fun experience connecting it up. However I've been thinking about swapping out the stock fans whilst I'm doing this upgrade (2 at the front, 1 exhaust). Is it worth doing for that RGB or are...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Temps keep spiking

    I wish I could, I use it to work from home permanently now :( I do 11 hour night shifts and start again tomorrow night, so I'll just try to keep the workload small until I get it. Hopefully arrives sooner than its estimated delivery date! Thanks for the help!

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Temps keep spiking

    Alright perfect, got this ordered and is due on the 29th March :) Fingers crossed my current AIO doesn't give in... What's the best way to dispose of the current AIO? Or do you recommend keeping it in storage just in case?
