    PCSPECIALIST Disk Speeds

    Looks very healthy. Try and keep that C Drive at the 12% you've got it at now. It will bloat for sure, but even trying your best will make all the difference.

    PCSPECIALIST Second attempt at creating a new computer for gaming

    Also, even the "Slow" drive is 4TB/s, that's a DVD read per second.

    PCSPECIALIST Liquid Series Spec - any advice?

    Liquid spec below. You would need to reconfigure your coolant colours etc as to how you want the aesthetic. There are major limitations with the below though, the most obvious is the fact that you can't even purchase a current generation GPU. It'll do the job for sure, but there are hampered...

    PCSPECIALIST Liquid Series Spec - any advice?

    I'm with everyone else here. I'll do a couple of configs. First is how I would recommend you go for the build, second is just throwing caution to the wind and going for it with a liquid cooled build. I genuinely think you would live to regret the second option, but it's definitely something...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for a new Gaming/Streaming PC but don't know where to start

    They're available for less elsewhere, you would just fit it yourself, but it's not actually that much less.

    PCSPECIALIST Considering Upgrading My PCS System Due to Loud Noise

    Not bad for doing it in my head ;)

    PCSPECIALIST NVidia RTX 5000 series

    I think these corners of the world are typically more affluent. We have more money to waste than we have previously. The breadline still exists, of course, but it's just a completely different world with waste. I remember not so long ago we used to get TVs and Vacuum cleaners fixed in repair...

    PCSPECIALIST Considering Upgrading My PCS System Due to Loud Noise

    I would be surprised if the Corsair offering 360mm was quieter than the 280mm, they certainly never have been in the past. The 280 has always been the go-to for silence since the ML range came into effect. Keep in mind that most of the noise from the corsair coolers is from airflow. The fans...

    PCSPECIALIST Considering Upgrading My PCS System Due to Loud Noise

    It's a shame you never took on the advice as the H115i recommended at the time is the equivalent of the Titan 280 now, you wouldn't know the difference in operation. To get some silence and airflow through the system the Titan 280 is also what I would recommend.

    PCSPECIALIST The quick way to repair potholes

    Doesn't surprise me in the slightest to be honest. You can always spot them, they appear softer and have more of a porous texture to them.

    PCSPECIALIST The quick way to repair potholes

    I can't remember where I first saw such a machine but I'm almost certain it was a Scandinavian country. They would literally do an entire stretch of road overnight. I recently seen a pothole machine doing its thing too. They all seem like temporary fill tarmac though as it never seems to be...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 5080 Stock

    If you have the opportunity to purchase the card elsewhere, I would change the build to install your own card. I had said to a few people asking for advice, build with the card in place but if you have the opportunity..... purchase elsewhere and then remove the card. That way you're covered for...

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming 5090 Build

    Can you please stop creating new threads. This has already been highlighted to you. Stick to the one thread so that there's a constant flow of conversation that can be followed. I've refrained from a warning as it seems petty but if you keep insisting there won't be a choice and it'll lead to a...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice with new PC

    I would try it placed as best you can and see how the signal fairs. There's no point in trying to fix it if it isn't broken. If it's actually causing a performance issue then it's worth looking to see if that can be remedied.

    PCSPECIALIST PC Upgrade - One of first builds

    Makes no odds which brand of GPU you want to go with. The main consideration is the power supply, to ensure that it supports the highest power cards (such as the 5090). With that regard you may want to opt for the 1200w PSU but I think 1000w should be OK for your uses. You would need to be...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Upgrade - One of first builds

    Ideally you would want the XTX or a comparable Nvidia card but the budget wasn't available to get to this level. The build is ready for a GPU upgrade though so if you get to the point where it's not enough or you just want more, it's just going to be a card swap to get you to where you want to be.

    PCSPECIALIST PC Upgrade - One of first builds

    You're a little short on the budget to adequately configure the build how I would want to have it. I've made the changes I would recommend as a minimum below. Unfortunately you've attempted to save money on key components by making very low end choices, this will never work out in the long run...

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Cobra Kai back for it's final instalment. 3 Episodes in so far. Again, as expected..... loving it, it's absolute trash, but I'm loving it haha.

    PCSPECIALIST Second opinion is always appreciated :)

    Not sure why but you have been given 7 corsair fans rather than the 4. I wasn't expecting to see 3 at the bottom and 3 at the side along with the exhaust. I would check how the bottom ones are configured. If they're pull, I would change them to exhaust as they will be fighting against the GPU...
