    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 'Clicking' sound from CPU/heatsink

    Hello hive mind... I am unsure if this is a problem or if i'm being neurotic but thought I would post just in case.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST HFS plus HD format

    I don't really know where to post this question... I have a large bank of photos on an external drive, sadly formatted as HFS plus as I am a current/previous mac user. I want to get these on to my desktop (a new PCS build if that helps?) but I am under the impression that windows cannot read...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Spec check

    I have been playing around with specs for weeks and I have a few questions, based on the below. 1. I was looking at the Geforce RTX 2070 super vs. AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. Frame rate wise, to me there doesn't seem to be much in it, even at 4k. You get the ray tracing with the Nvidia but I'm not...
