Thanks, i thought so. Looks like i will be doing some rewiring this evening

This may not be the right place to post but though id ask on this thread first. The GPU (Merc 319 6800XT) in my system, has 2 8-pin connectors, it seems to be connected via a single pcie 8-pin and 6+2pin cable to the PSU. Should it have 2 cables from the PSU to ensure proper power draw. PSU is...

I received a Merc 319 having ordered the 6800XT however i feel it was down to luck and lack of availability of any card. The fit is quite tight in the case (275R Airflow) but still about an inch from the end of the card and the front cooling fans. The card performs well and is very quiet.

Having got my new machine on the 21st and saw there is a place to post benchmarks i thought i'd share. This thing runs so well and very quiet Case CORSAIR 275R AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS®...

I did the peel on the external side of the glass panel last night, however on your suggestion i checked the inside and it seems on closer inspection and a bit of elbow grease i seem to have removed whatever it was. Glass panel looks shiny and new. Thanks for making me doubt myself i wouldn't...

The marks on the shroud are strange, you cant really feel them that's why i thought they would wipe off. Everything else seems pristine so im not too concerned. I got Alien Isolation that last night whilst i was waiting for things to download and update, i did have CPP2077 on PS4 which im...

I have given my feedback to PCS. Whilst its not ideal and im not 100% sure what has caused the marking it does not stop this machine performing as it should. The scratch marks on the glass are adjacent to the marks on the PSU shroud. Initially i thought it was something that would wipe off...

Thanks for the advice, I will take some pictures and provide feedback to pcs. Overall very impressed with the system. I've made sure Windows is fully updated, enabled xmp and getting some games installed, monitor running at 165hz. A few more bits to do to finish the set up, desk placement etc...

I'm pleased with the aesthetic, the system is very well put together and very tidy, a couple of minor points, cable ties used for cable management were cut too short and 4 popped off, will replace. There appears to be some minor cosmetic damage to the PSU shroud and the interior of the glass...

I chose the minimum RAM allowed as I found better/cheaper kit elsewhere Case CORSAIR 275R AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® STRIX B550-F GAMING (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 4GB...

Let the set up commence, new RAM installed BONUS That is the XFX Speedster MERC 319 RX 6800 XT

I just took delivery of a rather larger cardboard box... I will post more once my son is in bed and I get a chance to unpack it all

The order has been dispatched and I have my dpd tracking number, should be delivered tomorrow, happy days EDIT My RAM should turn up tomorrow from the rain forest. I went for Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2 x 8GB (CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18) but now wonder if i should have gone 2 x 16GB...

Just got an update the order has moved to test now, we are getting closer :)

Good news, After the email saying my case was out of stock and speaking to CS on the phone to be told the CPU, GPU and case were out of stock i had an email arrive just before 9 to state the order is now in build It seems these are now starting to filter through so good luck anyone else with...
