When i purchased my recent 2 PCS machines (one desktop, one laptop) I opted for the free 3 months of Bull Guard until I can transfer my F-Secure licenses over to from my old machines. I have no plans to keep Bull Guard long term but I have so far found no negative effect from having it...

I've wanted to upgrade my PC for a while. Primary use is Lightroom (classic) and Photoshop, and also Working from home. I looked at the entry level Studio PC's on here but ended up with the Black Friday Fusion AMD - virtually the same spec and a better price. And with RGB ! I didn't need the 3...

My desktop PC arrived a couple of days ago and I am slowly getting things setup (moving apps/data to it from my old PC). It's the first time I've had RGB lighting so I've spent a bit of time getting to know the iCue software. I am wondering if my Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM has been connected...

I received my laptop on Friday - 17.3" Cosmos XI - i5-10300H, GTX 1650 The Control Centre allows me to control the keyboard colour, everything works fine - but all keys are the same colour. The photo of the laptop on the configurator page shows multiple colours across the keyboard so I assume...

I have 2 items on order. A desktop and laptop. The laptop just entered testing so hopefully only a few days before it arrives. On arrival I will complete the Windows setup and run update multiple times etc. But I also notice there are a lot of items on the Download page for this build. The...

Has anyone used a cooling stand for a laptop? Are they externally powered or from a USB port on the laptop? Any strong recommendations? Are low budget ones any good? Any to avoid?

I haven't used RGB lighting before. I have a PC on order which should arrive mid Dec. I've tried to find out more about the lighting but so far no answers. I do not want the lights on until I have logged into Windows. Can they be disabled on power-up and in sleep/hibernate? Motherboard is...

Many of the cases (i.e. Corsair 220T RGB) have provsion for 2x 3.5"/2.5" drives in the base and 2x2.5" units on the back plate. The info on PCS shows them as 2.5" bays But when I checked the Corsair website it mentions SSD's. I have a 2.5" HDD I want to install into a new build. Are there any...

What is the Windows install state when PCS ship a completed PC/laptop? It's been a few years since my last PCS purchase in 2011, Windows was partly installed and at a page where I needed to supply a few details. Then it completed the installation and detected all devices etc. I cant remember...

if I order a laptop with M.2 SSD and no SATA device, is it possible to add my own SSD later? .... i.e. is the space still available. Would it invalidate the warranty if the case is opened?

I’ve been reading some reviews about the Corsair 175R RGB case. The case will accommodate 2x3.5" drives in the base and 2x2.5" on the back-plate. I plan to purchase a PC with M.2 SSD and no other drives. But later I will add my own drives when I can migrate them from my old PC I have 2x 3.5”...

My current PC is getting too old (2011 from PCS) so it's time to replace it. But I have a few drives I want to take to the new PC. 90% of the time will be Lightroom/Photoshop, and then some office work. Key parts of the spec I am looking at ... Case CORSAIR 175R RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE I...

I have recently bought an Enigma IV laptop for my camera club. It has the GT650M GPU and the 15.6” 1920x1080 95% gamut screen. When it arrived there was a fault with the GPU and PCS quickly replaced this. Last week it was used for the first time with a projector to run a photographic...

My new laptop arrived this afternoon (Enigma IV). I powered it on and when Windows started, the cd/dvd tray ejected. After I put it into sleep and woke it up, it ejected again. This is a clean install and nothing has been added or setup yet. Is this common? Is there any easy fix?

I've ordered the Enigma IV with 1920x1080 matte screen. For an extra £30 I could get the 95% gamut version - but what is the gamut of the normal version. This will be used for photo editing so this might make a big difference it the standard screen is lower than 80%

My new PC has been suspended most of the day. When I got home I hit the space bar to wake it up. I instantly saw a warning about low fan speed from the Asus System Information control panel. The speed was 487rpm. Over the next 10mins, the fan picked up to well over 600 rpm and changed from RED...

I have been offered an exchange (for extra £) for my HD6570 card as it doesn't support DVI-I (the brand used by PCS is DVI-D only) The alternative card is the GTS 450. Anybody know if this is a fair comparison? Does it suppoty DVI-I .... or at least the brand used by PCS? My typical use ...

I’m trying to resolve the problem of no analogue signal coming out of my DVI connector (Redeon HD 6570) If I had DVI-I which supplies analogue and digital, then an adaptor would solve my problem but the signal is DVI-D so only digital. I have two VGA monitors which I used on my old PC (DVI-I &...
