As I understand it PCS add a non RGB fan on the the rear.

Consider AMD 16gb 9070, it will give you performance a little above 5070 and the cards sold by PCS are below 290mm, power supply would need to be upgraded. If holding onto the PSU, is a must, of the 40xx range, 4060 (tdp about 120 watts), 4060 ti (tdp 170), 4070 (tdp about 200) prob the...

No you "own" a windows licence and it can be moved. Plenty of online sources on updating boot drives. And if you really can't be asked. well there are legit ways to get microsoft keys without paying microsoft rrp. edit, ho hum really should refreshed the page before posting :)

As has been pointed out gpu vram may be an issue, I remember when Hogwarts launched is ran better on a 3060 with 12 gb than an 8gb 4060. Another point is you want a future proof system and well AM4 is the wrong choice for that and you should really perhaps consider AM 5. No truly new chips...

Everyone who answered my questions have already helped me put my order. also some people do look at other peoples posts to help make up their minds re their own specs, with that in mind I've added this video which really is an idiots guide to power supply. Every question I asked and many I...

You are to a great extent where I was in 2022, looked at the refreshing my 1600x, 240 gb ssd and 1070 ( I drew the line with at that, as well you reach a point when you may as well buy a new pc. Upgraded to 5600x , 512 and 3060. Still use my 2tb HDD, mainly for archived material. Once I...

Well read the advice and watched the video, found more Gamer nexus stuff and now know more about power supplies and transient spikes than I would ever willing want to know about. So I did upgrade the power supply, not just to increase the wattage, but to one with a better build. Thank you...

You seem to have the core of a decent budget system, for the games you want to run, however you 2 main issues are 1) your cpu 2) your graphics card. The cashe on 5500 is only 19mb, upgrading to a 5600T and doubling the cashe. Both chips are very similar, however the cashe, will give a...

Does a higher wattage power supply use more power in ordinary usage than a lower wattage one or is that extra wattage just extra headroom to draw upon when needed, in other words all things being equal, does a 750 one use more than a say a 650.

Thank you for common sense answers, the recommended manufacturers wattage is 700, the config page recommends 650. My current build uses a 550 watt cx power supply and had no issues with it. But then corsair is a very different company to 2017.

I'm looking at a 750 watt supply for a am5 build with an amd gpu. Why pay extra for the modular supply? Aren't they both 750 watt supplies? Please this is a serious question as bought the cx type supplies without issue.

Thank you for the build just a few questions : 1) how much of an impact will the 6000 CL 30 memory really be over the 56oo cl40? 2) Why the 2 SSD, one of which is only 500 gb and why Solidgm drives? 3)why 1000 watt PS rather than a 750? 4) why CORSAIR FRAME 4000D RS ARGB MODULAR case? Also...

Budget about 1100 without the gfx card. As for the URL not sure where to look.

Sorry mistyped meant all the sapphire 9070xt appear to have 12 pins. As for the pc I think I've done well with it, but how much do I want to push my luck with an ageing motherboard and powerpack. That's why asking for advice.

thanks for the info on the sapphire, may of gotten confused with the 9070xt which all use 12 pin. As for the build The original build date is June 2017. In 2022 upgrade the ssd, gfx card to a 3060 and cpu from 1600x to a 5600x. Once I sold old parts the cost to upgrade was about £400 and...

Looking at my first new pc since Ryzen 1000. Thanking people in advance, looking for peoples opinions /suggestions. Points of note : 1) Current system is a ryzen 5600x with a 3060, 16gb ram and a B350 motherboard. 2) I've picked 5600MHz CL40 ram, but how much worse is 5200MHZ cl40? 3) I've...

I'm interested in these two cases. Would be interested in peoples opinions and of any pro and cons. edit. Nt sure how to post links to each case .
