    PCSPECIALIST Noisy PC

    Ye I get that. I was just thinking I'd buy my own, like maybe a noctua or something and then get it fitted as I've never fitted a cooler myself and I'm a bit worried of messing something up. I have seen many videos and it does look simple, but I would be quite anxious fitting it. I was...

    I have a 'be quiet' pure wings 2 120mm on hand, but as I said, I'm a bit nervous messing with CPU cooling and stuff. That is why I would rather a professional do it. I don't get why it is ok for me to do it, but asking someone else to do it for a bit of cash is not!

    So if I do it myself it wouldn't void warranty?

    Ok, so I guess changing the cooler is out. Feel like I'm bent over a barrel here. Guess I'll just have to get used to it. Probably the worst £1.5k I've ever spent, but lessons have been learnt.

    Ok, so I first thought it was the gpu with no fan stop that was making my PC loud at idle. That cost me another £100 to change it to a 3070 with fan stop. But still loud when idling. I then thought it must be the 2 big 200mm fans, but I unplugged them and the noise remained. So it must be...

    PCSPECIALIST Removing ASUS Armoury Crate

    Ye, thanks for the Fan Control tip. I downloaded it, but decided I didn't want it, and couldn't get rid of that without a system restore! I don't know if this is a windows 11 thing, but it was far simpler in the golden age of windows XP. Them days I could could do stuff without thinking I...

    PCSPECIALIST Removing ASUS Armoury Crate

    So I decided I wanted to install AIsuite3 to play with fan curves on the motherboard. The idea was to find a sweet curve that was quiet but still cooling, then go into BIOS and set that curve. It didn't really help, the fans are just noisy beggars. So I downloaded the 'uninstall' app from...

    Just updating. Bloomin Zotac died last night! Sending it back, and going to upgrade it to a 3070.

    OK, so I called them, they got me to test the RAM, but they were ok. They then said the GPU was broke! I'm sending the card back as faulty, they will refund me, then I can buy another GPU from them, which means I can upgrade from the Zotac (with no fan stop!), which was something I was...

    I'll try that. I'm at the point of returning the whole unit for refund, I'll call first. Cheers

    Read an article about renaming nvlddmkm.sys and then creating a new one. I do not have this file, is this the issue?

    No BSOD. No messages. Not sure what to look at in event viewer. Ran furmark, only for a bout 5 mins as that program scares me, it only got to 65 degree and did not crash.

    PCSPECIALIST Noisy PC

    So I've had this PC for 1 week. I got the RTX 3060ti with no fan stop, I made a thread about this. I'm hoping to get it upgraded. But now it seems it isn't even working! It crashes on a few games I play: NMS - it plays but crashes a lot, RDR2 will freeze as soon as game loads. Shadow of...

    PCSPECIALIST Noisy PC

    Well I emailed them and got told basically, and massively paraphrasing - 'tough look, we only have the zotac, it's not our problem'. OK, they said it way more politely than that, but that was the gist. The PC is great, everything snappy and quick, but the constant hum when watching YouTube or...

    Hi, thanks, it is reassuring to know it isn't defective. I did try Afterburner, but the GPU will not go below 1200rpm. May call PCS to ask if they could change it for a different brand. Probably not, but I can only ask. Cheers.

    OK, so a base rpm of around 1200rpm is completely normal for this card out of the box. Well it's good to know there is no hardware issue (I know you said that earlier, just some of the other comments seemed to challenge that). So I take it my drivers do not need to reinstalled. Again, good to...
