Thanks guys. After playing with the bios fan setting it is better. I did a shed load of Lightroom and photoshop work today and they highest the temp got was 73 degrees, most of the time it was in the 50’s..sweet plus it’s less annoying! (y)

Right. I have re configured the CPU fan and it’s much better, less jumpy. Max temp after playing with lightroom was 79 degrees (spiked) so better than before. Still louder than I would like but will look for a quieter option. One is the Nofan CR-80EH Copper IcePipe 80W Fanless CPU Cooler. It...

Thanks for the reply. The temps go quite high even just browsing the web. I will do more testing tomorrow. EDIT: Just been playing and temps fluctuate from 38 - high 50's and change every second sometimes by 10 digrees or more. I'm using Core Temp 1.15.1 to get the reading. as I'm typing this...

Hi All Received my new rig yesterday from PCSpecialist and thrilled with it apart from a noisy CPU fan. Spec: FRACTAL DEFINE S NANO GAMING CASE Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO Wi-Fi AC (DDR4, USB 3.1, 6Gb/s) Memory...

Ordered a NUC Skull Canyon this morning. I have been looking at minimising clutter and was looking at a laptop but just don't like using the keyboard. Has anyone got one? Do they perform as good as they look on YouTube? I'll just be using mine for usual light office, Listening to music...

Hi I want to get a Mini ITX PC for Linux. I have speked a PC but not sure about graphics. It will be mainly used for photo editing and the usual web surfing, youtube etc. I am looking at getting a Dell U2515H IPS screen. The system I'm looking at says it has an Intel graphics media accelerator...

Hi I have been stuffed with the Claro_search malware in my browsers. I have done a search but all the suggestions look like they want you to download their software which could be worse than the orig bug. Any suggestions for either legit software or a fix? Thanks

Hi I think my DVD drive has packed up! I put a CD in and usually it auto runs and pops up as a drive in windows but this morning I popped a CD in the drive and nothing. The Drive whurred and made the usual noises but nothing came up in windows and nothing else happened, the CD just stops. Is...

Had my PC for a month or so and it went wrong. Problem seemed to be a bad Ethernet port so I sent the base unit back to PC Specialist. It's now come back and is working better than ever!! Superb service from PC Specialist with regular updates. You only know how good a company is when things go...

I am proudly sitting here typing away on my new PCSpecialist PC. I must say everything so far has been very simple to set up. PC Specialist have done all the donkey work and all i had to do was plug everything in and switch on. The PC unit is very quiet and the 24" screen is HUGE!!:D I'll pop...

One reason i am getting a new PC now is that my Mac is on it's way out. It's a 20" intel iMac (one of the early silver ones) and is 3 years old. I keep getting the beach ball of death and it's very slow. It seizes up on the odd occasion too. I got fed up with it so decided to re format the...

Hi I think i have decided to use Flight Sim 9 as i have had it before and it ran sweet on an older PC. I have ordered a new i5 3.3GHz PC from PCSPECIALIST and found Flight Environment and Ultimate Terrain Europe in a draw at home. Does anyone know if these will work with Win7 as the websites...

Now I have spent every spare penny on my new PC (Which is on it's way-YAY!) i was wondering if there was some great free WYSIWYG software out there that's worth using. Thanks :)

New member, new PC..YAY! Hi All I have been a Dell customer for quite a few years and for the lat 4 years i have had a iMac which has been very reliable. Although the Mac is good (or at least until it stared playing up!!) i felt it lacked in certain areas so decided to go back to a Windows PC...
