This seems to have turned into another lead time thread so unsure if this is the right place, but anyone got any views on the apparent issues with the 3080 cards? I’ve read the Igors lab post, of which I only understood about 50%, however I gather there is a rumour that the configurations of...

Try not to be too disheartened. It‘s better that it is tested properly than rushed out with problems. Once it arrives you’ll be delighted and forget all about the delays.

If there are problems there should be notes attached to your order. I think the best course of action is to either call them or use live chat to check.

I am just posting to follow this. I have the same intermittant issue with exactly the same MOBO. Same brand and speed RAM, just 32gb. It hasn't bothered me sufficiently to do anything about it but i will try re seating as advised.

You may be ok but I would definitely run it past PCS. Two parts of the T&C’s on their website just leave me with enough doubt to suggest it. These are: 7.8 Unlike with most computer companies, we allow you to open your case and install your own components without voiding your warranty on the...

@Nursemorph or @SpyderTracks can confirm but I was under the impression that any repairs had to be done via PCS (or under their say so if DIY) to ensure the warranty remains valid. I could be wrong on this but worth me flagging just in case...

i've completely misunderstood what 'big picture' is. i now know! ignore that comment.

I did not know you could do that. Is there a downside - i.e. lag or fps hit?

Yes I had to make sure the old cooler was out of the system and swapped it on the doorstep with the dpd driver. The replacement part came in a sealed case, with a zippy tag to ensure nothing was tampered with. The old part was then put back in said case and resealed. It’s the only time I’ve felt...

Yes I called. Be warned, the wait time is long at the moment.

@edgetrading It was fairly straight forward to be honest. I sent the sound clip I posted above to the technician, he agreed that it was the pump and offered me two options. 1) send the PC back and they'd replace the cooler; 2) if I felt confident enough, they'd send me the replacement cooler and...

The Zotac 2070s has 2x DP and 2x HDMI so definitely worth checking if it’s Zotac or Pallit. 👍

Yes, your instinct was correct, and I really appreciate you posting. To be quite honest, I was stumped - I knew something wasn’t right but I had no idea what it was. I didn’t even know that, that particular part was the pump. The last time I owned a desktop was c. 16 years ago and my last bit of...

Yes good shout. I’ve been running it in the background for the last 30 mins and I’m getting 30-40 degrees which I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) is acceptable. Ran a cinebench test and it maxed at 70, which again seems about right.

All changed and back to being silent again. Fiddly as hell but once you've got the hang of it, it's a doddle. Thanks chaps, a job well done (y)

The grounding thing had crossed my mind so thanks for clarifying. The old cooling system came out really easily, it appears to be a very simple job. Time will tell whether that is a naive or true statement.

Replacement received. Very quick service. A question for @SpyderTracks or @Nursemorph - i am going to repaste the CPU. I have some 99% isopropyl to clean the 'old' paste off, which I will do carefully. The PC is unplugged, the PSU is turned off and it has been sat in that state for 24 hours...

Good question...!! They're sending me a replacement 240 lite. The adviser listened to the recording above and agreed that it sounds like a failed/failing pump. Just need to swap the existing unit out, I assume re paste and away I go. Looks quite straight forward, but then it always does.

Quick update. Spoke to a very friendly chap in the PCS support team and they're sending me a replacement to fit myself tomorrow. I've never done this but it looks pretty straight forward. PLEASE DO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I appreciate all of your help as it gave me the confidence to sound a...

@Nursemorph thanks for checking for me. I shall get back in touch with PCS first thing. At least it’s (hopefully) an easy fix/replacement.
