    You've also gone back to your mismatched AIO & fan config - so you've got iCUE Link and normal iCUE components...which means 2 different controllers and much more wiring.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Laptop for Office Use

    The new laptop has HDMI and Displayport (via USB-C), so will support 2 monitors...but one will have to go via a Displayport/USB-C to HDMI/VGA adapter/cable.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Fractal North XL

    Build was very good with the exception of an odd placement of the iCUE Link hub - which is magnetic, but was sticky-taped to the HDD cage for some reason. But I wanted the larger case as I was fed up with the rat's nest of cabling I had in my previous, much smaller Corsair 220T case - but that...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Corsair mATX cases

    PCS don't offer the 140mm versions, so I ordered it with 120mm fans for the side/back/AIO and added 3x140mm ones on the bottom. You can fit a 140mm on the rear, which fills the space nicely and I might still swap that out...but the side panel doesn't have mounts for 140mm fans...but some people...

    I believe it's just telling you it can't find a monitor signal. Try turning your monitor on manually just before you boot the PC, to see if that stops it.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Looking to buy my first PC for gaming!

    All In One is the term for a PC with a built-in screen...like an Apple iMac. Basically laptop-spec CPU/GPU with a larger flat-panel screen. Worse than both a desktop PC and a laptop because you lose the portability of the laptop, lose the performance of the desktop, and lose the upgradability...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Looking to buy my first PC for gaming!

    No, but if you've only got £600 max, then we'd tell you that you wouldn't even get a1080p build for that amount. Very roughly, and using current gen components: 1080p = £1200+ 1440p = £1600+ 4K = £2200+ But if you've only got a 60hz monitor, or planning to spend £60 on it, then spending £3k+...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Corsair mATX cases

    If you're desperate for that case, then simply order it from elsewhere and send it to PCS for the build...just as I did. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/new-build-with-corsair-6500x-case.96670/ I didn't go for the RGB version though, because 1) it wasn't available yet; 2) it uses...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Fractal North XL

    Fractal North is one of the usual case on offer, but they come in & out of stock as supplies allow. Not seen the 6500X on here at all yet though, and I simply ordered mine from elsewhere and had it delivered to PCS (as you can with any case).

    PCSPECIALIST Is there a moveable PC stand with castor wheels for a Corsair 5000X?

    Common terminology to differentiate between the case which contains the CPU, and the monitor, speakers, keyboard, etc. As some people will assume 'PC' means the whole thing including peripherals.

    How about these for the case itself? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/uppspel-cpu-stand-with-castors-dark-grey-40507785/ I used to have something similar on my old Mac Pro cheese grater as it weighed about 28KG. But that was a specific product for the Mac Pro called a 'skateboard' and made of...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC for Editing 4K

    I'd even suggest the 14700K as there's next to nothing in it between that and the 14900k in photo/video editing (and in some benchmarks it's actually fast - maybe due to throttling?), and you'd have an easier time keeping it cool.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Laptop Specs, Any and all advice please and thank you

    I’m no laptop expert, but I’d say you’ve gone overboard on the CPU, and have a relatively underpowered 1080p GPU) for a high-refresh 1600p screen.
