    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nvidia Driver updates

    If you play games then yes updating can be helpful, but not always. Best to wait a few days if not a week before installing a new driver. If you dont play game then if it aint broke leave it alone and check for updates every 4-6months will be enough. But newest isn't always best, as Nvidia in...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC builder Case selection linked to GPUs that fit

    Can we get some form of info panel to the case description as to what GPU cards will fit without some butter and mallet to shove it home. I had this exact problem when selecting a case for my newest build, your checker could tell me the case selected was too small but Not what cases would take...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Carry handles/hand holds on the cases you supply

    Post brought on by my newest pc from your selves. What I hadn't expected was the weight involved with this pc, I almost had to get help just to get it on my desk, let alone move it for dust cleaning in future every 5-6 months. This is my first AIO cooled pc as you no longer supply Noctua's for...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cpu is overheating almost always.

    What is it sitting on, hard surface with plenty of free air or duvet/carpet etc. Should never be latter it can't breathe on material as it absorbs the heat and reradiates the heat back at up. Do you have any extra feet to raise it higher off the surface? Do you have a cooling pad? Is it in...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST random reboots on ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F with bios 2812 Fixed with 3403

    Since getting my new pc in January 2021 its been randomly rebooting for no reason. Found out eventually it was the bios revision on my motherboard at fault. It was failing to detect the CPU fan[Noctua NH-U14S] during very low load and would fail over with a forced reboot. The fan was active...

    I know that the farcry 6 one ended mid January so that one is gone, but the codes are added to the order page. Edit also note the site to redeem the codes on is not sending out verification emails so they can't be claimed if you don't already have an active account. I have contacted AMD about...
