I've added the AIO back in although the motherboard is now gone since I installed Armoury Crate. It looks like the cable for the CPU fan is connected to an corsair controller box (I think) at the back of the PC which then connects to the cooler so that seems to be cooler related. Installing...

Does anyone know what fan 1 and fan 2 here would be. Are they the cooler fans?

It should have been obvious "pump" is actually the pump rather than the fans ;) Reassuring to know that's normal though. @TonyCarter I haven't done either with Windows yet, my multiple MS accounts is something else I need to sort out. I have been wondering if I could get away with just...

My new PC arrived yesterday and I've been setting it up. I am a little concerned however that the cooler fans seem to be running really fast even when the PC is idle. In the iCUE software the fan "Titan 280 RX: Pump" is permanently running at around 2000rpm and I'm concerned it running so fast...

I think I'll drop the processor down a notch then and get the upgrades suggested by nursemorph. I kinda picked the better processor as the build came in a bit under my budget without the second drive so I figured why not. But if the 9800X3D is overkill I might as well save the £150 as I can...

Apologies for yet another thread with a build around the 1500-2000 mark but I didn't want to butt into other peoples posts with my (many) questions. Also apologies for the massive post, my brain just dumps questions out sometimes. I've put together the following build from reading around the...

Thanks for pointing out this isn't as simple as the way I was looking at it. Feel a bit stupid now tbh as it's kind of obvious :rolleyes: I think instead of spending time waiting for price drops on GPUs I should spend it figuring out what would suit me best, do some research and try to decide...

I am holding off on getting a new PC as I've seen various people in other threads recommending waiting until the 50 series are out mainly so people who want the performance are not buying last gen when the new one is around the corner. I personally don't see the need in getting the latest gen...

Oh OK, I'd read a couple of things that said it wasn't the best card but nothing quite that brutally honest. Guess that explains why there seems to be so many of those PCs in stock compared to other pre-builts. Thanks for the build suggestion. It's a little more than I was thinking of...

After 7 years I think it might be time for a new PC and I've been looking at the pre-built options offered by PCS, specifically this one https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers-for-next-day-delivery/1428/ I'm reluctant to spend too much on a new PC as I feel the latest / greatest spec would be...
