    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST My Stressful PC Journey

    Have you tried adjusting the timings on the RAM to 16-18-18-36? I've the 8GB modules for the same RAM stick as you and they're at 16-18-18-36, you should be able to get some free performance if you can adjust it.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Assistance Required

    Worth noting for the future that most of the TUF/Strix motherboards have VRMs easily capable of running the 5800X (and even a 5950X). You're not making use of the 2 4x4 PCIe lanes with your storage config so the storage config is pretty poorly optimized as both SSDs aren't Gen 4. It would be...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Buying from ROI is there any extra charges after Brexit (Import duty ect.)

    PCS confirmed that they'll cover any excess charges on what you paid for in the order. I.e. if your system costs €2,000 and you paid the €2,000 to PCS you will 100% not be paying any more than that. There's multiple conversations of PCS saying they'll cover any customs/import fees. Regarding...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST My PC/Experience

    Yeah, OP of this forum has the case. I got it as well but it seems to be missing in the package. Also the GPU is a long boy and the screw in the GPU arm would go into the fans, any idea if I can change the position to the holes beside it?

    I also got the H500M, just wondering if you got the front glass panel that (should?) come with the case?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 6800XT

    My last correspondence with PCS via Email towards by build date said they were stocking the XFX (RX-68TMATFD8) and the Merc 319 (RX-68XTALFD9). Strangely though, mine seems to be the RX-68XTACBD9 based on the serial number & the GPU-Z So they might be getting a stock of the high binned...

    Looks great, hope they serve you well. The large 1000R curve actually looks really nice when it's like that, very cozy.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST static noise from PSU?

    it should be coil whine, I have a bit on my GPU when it’s under load. You have a quality PSU, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much - it won’t affect the lifespan of either component.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair 500D SE / 6800XT / 5900X

    I believe Sapphire makes all the reference models so XFX should only be making the Core/Black cards themselves. I think there might be a cooling difference between the Core/Black as one is listed as a 2.7 slot and the other a 2.9 slot, so maybe one has fewer heatpipes. But the sample size for...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair 500D SE / 6800XT / 5900X

    Does your model number on the warranty leaflet for the XFX Merc say ‘RX-68XTAC’? Curious since I thought they were stocking the base ‘Core’ model instead of the higher binned ‘Black’ ones.

    I don't think the monitor is well received by reviewers, they cheaped out a LOT compared to the g7 - if you're looking for 144hz1440p displays there are better one out there. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Fedex Delivery troubles?

    Think we had the same Lady in the UK, just called there and she was infinitely more helpful and the information she provided was accurate since I could validate it by chucking the tracking number into TNTs customer ref tracking. All the other guys were giving me info saying it’s still in...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Fedex Delivery troubles?

    Guy on the phone said there’s a large backlog for customs in Kingsbury, Dartford and Dublin so if your order’s at one of those locations and staying for a while it’s more than likely because of customs.

    Mine arrived in Dublin at 6 with the most recent update being ‘At Destination sort facility, Dublin IE’ - does it still have Customs to go through? Was stuck in Kingsbury for like 4 WD so surely they did some stuff there. FedEx guy on phone said it should be delivered by EOD. Was there an ‘At...
