With regards to CPU power my motherboard has an 8+4 option. If I was to use both do you plug just 8 + 4 at the psu end or 8 + 8. Thanks.

I'm looking to swap out my 1080 for a 2080ti. However I'm unsure whether my 750w power supply will be sufficient. Nvidia recommends 650w however I was factoring in everything else in my build. At max output it states my system uses 580w and I know pc specialist build their systems with a 20%...

Rather than create a new thread I'll use this one. I'm considering the 2080ti GPU. Would a 750w power supply suffice in powering my system still with the 1080 swapped out for the 2080ti. Bearing in mind everything else in the system based on the list below. My spec is still the same. They...

Hi everyone, My PC has started booting with 3 beeps and a bios code of d6, it beeps at this stage. It can't be a seating issue with components as it errored two days ago however with a couple of restarts it booted fine and let me operate as normal. This was without me taking off the side...

Hi Everyone I took the plunge and ordered my second PC from pcs and I'm really pleased with it however the system doesn't appear to be recognising my mechanical drive. The m.2 drive and the Samsung EVO are working fine however Windows and the BIOS are not showing the third drive its a western...

Morning everyone, So four years on from my first purchase its PC upgrade time from scratch. I've decided on the majority of the spec however this time I'm giving the processor a little more thought than last time. I'm still undecided on going with the quad core again (6700k) or trying out the...

Just a quick question on connections. If you plug your headset into the front panel connectors are you using the audio from the dedicated sound card plus its driver or are you only using the onboard sound due to not being plugged directly into the back of the soundcard? Thanks On the subject...

Hi everyone, I recently started up my PC around an hour ago, upon doing so I now have an irritating grinding/constant ticking sound coming from my 200mm fan in the roof of my PC. I am currently using a Coolermaster Storm Trooper case and there has been faint clicking in the past but it seems to...
