That did cross my mind, but I trust the PCS Build Team a lot more than I trust myself! I don’t think so, I tried some boots with the side panels removed to see how that affected noise levels, and didn’t see any noticeable difference

Controller looks in order, can’t see anything out of place. Back on the BIOS screen temps are fine, around 40 degrees but the case fans are going at full chat which is significant as they’re normally barely noticeable. Also not getting any RNG on boot with the cooler, and I don’t have iCue...

Thank you both! Quick reply as I’ve been out, still getting to grips with having a job and also somehow a social life too (allegedly) 😅 One long beep followed by 4 short beeps, will try and dig manual out of the attic tomorrow. Thanks for this, will get stuck into it tomorrow after work. I...

Evening all, Been a while since I’ve posted on here. Having an issue with the PC I bought back in 2021 Case FRACTAL DEFINE 7 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe...

Started going through it, stopped very quickly. Kinda makes me feel nostalgic for the 3080 queue thread that was all the rage when I first popped my head on this forum.

If you’re not buying until September I would definitely recommend pressing pause for now. A lot can happen in the market between now and then, with new products changing pricing, and GPU prices generally falling. What I would say for now is that your primary display is not really suitable for...

I can’t wait for the chaotic individual who sends in a non-white case for the all white build. I wonder if PCS would then query that or follow the customer’s request without complaint 😂

Nope, you’ve got a suitable motherboard and cooler so you would be all set. Strong build as always from Stevey 🙂

You need to be on a different configurator. You either want this for Intel systemshttps://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/intel-z790-ddr5-pc/ Or this for AMD https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/amd-am5-pc/

Ryzen CPUs have always been quite sensitive to RAM speeds, very good 5600mhz, or 6000mhz is definitely the place to be if possible as performance does start to drop quite substantially if you cheap out here. Attached HWU video which has some reliable benchmarks about this.

As someone who received a 4GB laptop I can confirm that 8GB does make a good difference, especially with how ram hungry browsers are these days. I trust you with your expertise though as always 😊

Absolutely agree. Nabbed it when it was a free epic title and it was visually stunning! Strong gameplay and story too

Think I’ll buy this too. For Gotham Knights alone it’s a great deal and all for a great cause. It’ll be nice to give back a little to the forum too, especially as I haven’t been volunteering as much of my time recently

This is absolutely the more sensible way to go, and would be what I would recommend to the majority of people. This build is already pushing the top end for gaming performance, as mentioned above anything added on top of this is for bragging rights. While you can look at benchmarks and have...

Always fun to see people with this sort of money to burn. Going for a water cooled PC for your use case is frankly overkill, but we’re not here to tell you how to spend your money, only to provide advice. Overkill components are fine, as long as you don’t compromise other areas of the build to...

I’m getting Cyberpunk flashbacks with the performance of this game, especially with how it performs on console. As such a popular title, you would hope that with driver updates and software patches we will have a much more sensible and realistic product down the line, but hopefully it won’t take...

The 4070ti is definitely a 4k card. It’ll smash out 120fps+ on competitive titles like your Warzone, Rocket League, and perform fine in modern titles where you might want to turn up the graphics and not be as worried about the frame rate. It’s 10-15% faster than the 3080 10GB in the majority of...

Looks like an absolute behemoth, I’m very jealous! You don’t need the Arctic paste as the Capellix cooler comes with high quality paste attached. You could consider going up to the H150i, it’s not a huge amount of extra cooling over the H115i, but with the high end CPUs every extra bit of...

Sounds like you’re all set then! I’m expecting some funky photos, either on here or on discord! 😊

Solid build as we would expect. One thing I would check with PCS is that the 4000X only supports a 360mm radiator on the front, with the roof only supporting 280mm. If you’re happy with a front mounted rad you’re golden, but you could also consider going for a H115 on the roof, and checking that...
