Hi, I'm still testing this in different games, but I was slightly surprised to see my new i7-9700K plus Corsair H100x reach 77c in Battlefield V (@2K high to ultra settings) the last couple of days. When I first tested it in same game, it was below 62c, but the last few days it has been higher...

Hi, It's been 5 or 6 years since I was last on here...my previous PCSpecialist PC is still mostly going strong although it's a little like Trigger's broomstick, if you catch my drift.... I was going to build my own this time (PC, not broomstick), but after comparing the prices of buying it all...

Just completed this. Took me months doing it a bit at a time. Didn't like it at all in the end. The gameplay was boring and the story was only told at the beginning and at the end. And I didn't really like the story either. And I had to read a long explanation (via Google) to make sense of the...

Hi, Sorry, I know I could have put this in the other thread, but few would have seen it. The patch is finally on the way...'in the coming days' for PC. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/892700-Watch-Dogs-Patch-(6-18-14)? MAJOR GAME FIXES • Automatically reconstructed corrupted save...

This is the game I made up in my head before it existed. Planetside 2 was awesome. Can't wait for this. http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/04/10/soe-shows-h1z1-its-new-zombie-mmo/

I wasn't sure where to put this, hopefully this is the correct part of forum. Can anybody give some pointers on making gaming videos...more specifically I have used Shadowplay to capture, and now have several 3-4gb MP4's that I would like to edit, to capture the fun bits and bobs that happened...

To the sound of somebody playing the worlds smallest violin So, I've had the new PC over a year now, and don't get me wrong, I love it to bits but it's so hard finding a group of people who regularly play the same games and are on at the same time...it's killing me. After originally being an...

Ey up. Thought I'd start a thread for Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, simply because I was surprised there wasn't one already (my searches tell me...). I've just hit level 70 with my Witch Doctor, was a bit of a slog but am enjoying it. I do kind of miss the auction house, because it made making...

Hi, I'm really tearing my hair out with this one & Google isn't helping. So I was happily using my desktop on the 11th Feb, shut it down as usual. Then, 4 days later turned it on and found that it wouldn't connect to the internet. This is turning out to be a real pain the arse because I can't...

Hi All, I am a bit of a broken record with this, but I am bloody determined to up our numbers somewhat on BF4. For anybody on here that want a few mates to play with, please get in touch. We are currently 3 or 4 regular players off the PCS forums, with a minimum 2 on every Friday night (a...

Hi, I've a base Palit GTX 680 and want to get another 2nd hand for SLI, but they are rare and it would be easier/cheaper to look for all models. Any of you guys got mixed graphic cards in SLI? I.e. a palit 680 with a gainward 680 or something similar? Can you easily get them to cooperate if...

OK, I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot this one (or what google). My GPU (GTX680) fan control only kicks in when I use Afterburner (for which I set a custom fan profile to keep temps below 70c at all times. Is this likely due to, in the absence of Afterburner, the GPU fan only kicking in at...

Anybody having issues with the Origin Friends list? I keep getting the spinny circle of doom, been like it for a few days now. I go online at 8pm and can only see friends after 10pm. I can't tell if it is Origin or something at my end. I have tried reinstalling Origin to no avail....getting...

Is anybody thinking about getting this? Played the demo today and really liked it; I skipped Fifa 13 so have really missed having a footy game. I used to love 'be a pro' with 4 or 5 mates, didn't really play much else. And more importantly, has anybody used this site before? Seems a bit cheap...

Hi, So if anyone noticed a previous post about my desktop making an annoying noise (that is now getting louder), I have worked out it is the PSU. It is making the same noise as this, but MUCH louder (assuming I can link to YouTube on here); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tAPmJVDc4k Is this...

Hi, So, I just replaced the fan on my Corsair H40 CPU cooler (the stock fan was 3-pin hence stuck at 1800rpm)...see this previous post where SlickShoes did the same; https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?23236-Corsair-H40-Fan-speed The rig is now quieter when idle but I'm...

Hi All, I posted something similar about a month ago, after 10 years I came back to PC gaming and would like some normal, mature headed people to play Planetside 2 (and any other games) with. Cobalt server, Terran Republic. Currently got me and 2 other guys off the forums, we play every Friday...

Just wondering what the main racing games are nowadays - I got F1 2012 on steam & it's good, but I'm an ex-Forza player (360) and feel like there's a hole in my collection. Ideally I want a sim racer and an arcade racer but the best look ancient & I'm a graphics *****...

Just wondering if I'm missing something here, I've not played it much but I just cannot get into it. For a game with 5-10x more players than anything else on Steam I was expecting more. Yes there are lots of characters to choose from but the gameplay is far too simple and kiting seems to be the...

Ey up, VolT and I had a great time Friday night playing Planetside 2, so I was wondering if anyone wants to join us next Friday? Terran Republic (reds), Cobalt server (EU), in-game name = TheScutta81, Steam ID = TheScutta. Try and use a mic but don't worry if not. I nearly know what to do...
