    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST What is this noise, HDD?

    What on earth is this chirping type sound? hopefully you can hear it in the video, you may need to put your volumes up. But it's like a HDD sound when it's being used (but it's not) or kinda like a low frequency electric sound. It's not vibrations from fans or anything as I've checked them...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cleaning inside of PC

    What do you guys use for cleaning your components and removing dust? I'm assuming alcohol wipes and a lint free microfiber cloth are good to use? My only gripe with air compressors is that you're not really removing the dust, but just blowing it away to another area, I guess it's okay to use...

    So, my PC is currently on the 11th working day (minus bank hol) so is very close to Building stage. I have the 2060 super chosen, but I am so so tempted to get the 2070 super. I will be playing games on 1440p. But looking at reviews comparing both cards, the 2070 super seems to run so much...

    Someone mentioned about getting some homeplugs to allow for ethernet connection to my PC, my question is, if I'm getting 100-120mbps on wifi connection, do I really need homeplugs? I guess the connection will be a lot more stable for sure, especially for gaming etc. I was looking at these...
