    PCSPECIALIST Icue & Additional fans

    That's right, it's just the pump that's special. Further, while you can mix fans up more now the closest match to the Capellix coolers fans are the SP120 Elite, so Corsair's bods told me. LL's are great, QL's better still but for those I'd have had to get the 4 case fans and another 2 for the...

    PCSPECIALIST just wanted to see if my pc is good, first time making a good pc

    Nicely done. That's a little beast for 1080p ultra with legs to run a marathon too. Damn fine for a first PC imo.

    PCSPECIALIST Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

    Oh, the discovery of alcohol and such only increased our hunger and nerdism. My little friends group had an old workshop down the back garden of one of the families. Some old sofas, cushions, fridge, stereo system etc. Many and long were the weekends in the 90's playing tabletop games, RPG's and...

    PCSPECIALIST Bioshock 4 Rumours!!!

    PCSPECIALIST White Cables

    Same issue with the stock Corsair cables, splitters and stiff sleeves made for an untidy, over the GPU, set up. Part of my Black Friday shopping was two cable sets (thanks again for the advice a few weeks ago, Martinr36) Black for the 1000 RMx in my build. A white set for the 750 RMx...

    PCSPECIALIST What soccer club do you support?

    The family team is Chelsea. That was a from my dad's side thing... Peter Osgood was his cousin (his mum was my great aunt and he grew up in Windsor around the corner from my dad) From my mum's side, her dad and all his rabble were from Portsmouth, 'nuff said. I stopped following league footie...

    PCSPECIALIST It Was Only A Matter Of Time- 3090TI, 16GB 3070TI & 3050 Announcing Next Month

    As I may have mentioned before (lol) there's several reasons I went for the far inferior (as I've been told elsewhere) 6800XT over a 3080. This is pretty much the reason that isn't based on performance, expected or otherwise, short or long term. It's as fishy and stinky as rollmop herrings left...

    PCSPECIALIST It Was Only A Matter Of Time- 3090TI, 16GB 3070TI & 3050 Announcing Next Month

    Too late, already have a 6800XT and just got my gf a 3070 (which tbh is about as much as she'll need at 3440x1440 for the rare chance she plays newer AAA games) But Nvidia are really going to town overloading (and confusing) the product stack this time round, huh? Tbh I'd rather they fixed the...

    PCSPECIALIST Alan Wake 2 coming

    I seem to recall the first Alan Wake being one of those games that wasn't too highly regarded or maybe just underrated at release but going by mentions in forums aso is since seen in a better light perhaps. It was on XBGP last I looked a couple months back so I might track it down. I'll keep an...

    PCSPECIALIST One Hit Wonders

    I'm thinking but... what exactly constitutes a one hit wonder here?

    PCSPECIALIST Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

    Had a few stand out tough guy teachers and staff at my school (was a specialist one for broken kids that I somehow ended up in... bad call, long story) We had some ex forces guys and an ex police diver running the outdoor pursuits dept, which was the best part of the whole deal. Another staff...

    PCSPECIALIST Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

    Ooh goody! And I'll even overlook the fact it's Smurf Marines again lol (Primaris ones though) Tbh I actually like Ultramarines more than most Chapters and having read (some of) the HH books, totally get the real point of the Codex Astartes etc (it's more... guidelines) Yes, long time GW fan...

    PCSPECIALIST 16GB of RAM no longer enough for gaming?

    16Gb is fine for most games. My specs below has 32Gb but it's more a future proofing/longevity/just in case thing than a what's the limit now thing. I mean, most games won't be maxing out the 5800X or 6800XT (at 3440x1440) just yet either but lucky windfalls aside I very likely won't even be...

    PCSPECIALIST The Xmas Thread!

    And the very same to you and yours too. Been a tricky and tough last couple of months tbh... still no new bathroom, cookery safe kitchen (it's that damn mains alarm) and our home office/art/games room is not quite ready (so no PC for me nor my gf's fab brand new white mini-me version of mine...

    PCSPECIALIST Star Wars Eclipse

    Was good fun but long overdue another SW RTS... even a hybrid strat would be good. As long as Disney reign in their inner evil villain. Fallen Order was good enough to buy at launch (a rarity for me) if a little tricky on the finer points of controls. On the other hand, Squadrons was not...

    PCSPECIALIST Upcoming AMD RDNA 3 GPU's to be quite something????

    We can only hope so. While AMD have spent a few years focusing on making a comeback on the CPU side with Ryzen, RDNA initially seemed more an afterthought but RDNA2 has been their first time trading blows with Nvidia all the way to the top (sans the RT difference and DLSS 2 being the better/more...

    PCSPECIALIST Sunday lunch!

    You have my complete and utter envy. It's looking like the ongoing microwave meals trend up to and including for Christmas dinner... and I am so damn fed up (but not actually fed a proper food) Honestly, whether or not the electrical inspector's safety recommendations going over the deadline...

    PCSPECIALIST keep those filters clean

    Right, I'm calling my Compucleaner an air blaster boyo from now on, it appeals to my humour. Not that I need to use it much with good case filters but hey.

    PCSPECIALIST keep those filters clean

    On the bright side, you know the filter is doing it's job ok (mine gets like this weekly but it's an easy one minute fix) Be far worse to have to open up the case to clean out all the nooks and crannies as often.

    PCSPECIALIST Black Friday 2021 26th November- What are you after?

    Fwiw the Switch is very punchy tech despite it's age and limitations. But then this is Nintendo's niche and they've been doing this well a long time. The DS is actually my fave handheld ever (and we'll see how the Steam Deck does, even against the DS it'll have to do a lot to impress) but tbh I...
