Not kept up on here for last week or two... just realised the H150i elite capellix is now available as a selection, on the regular builds!

Now nearly £50 price difference between the two, so for me, the 5000D is the clear winner in almost all scenario’s - unless tempered glass front and top is an absolute must for someone. I guess the 5000X has proven extremely popular and i can see why

Updated to the April driver for 3070 today and lost over 500 graphics score on my Timespy benchmark. I ran it 5 times and same outcome so i rolled back to March and my score is back. Crazy how much difference a driver can make.

Not sure if anyone else plays Paradox games... 7+ years on i am still smashing EU4, but what i really want is... Vic3. HOI is just too small of a period. Imperator is too repetitive and CK3, i just can’t get into it properly.

Anyone else play? The difference a fast games drive makes on this game is outrageous. I was surprised to see, the CPU only sits at 10%, GPU at 50%, Vram at 45% and Ram at 40% usage. I had always assumed the CPU would be much busier.

So i don't really use DLSS - as i always turn RTX off, but this benchmark shows how insane DLSS is... Does anyone know any titles that actually utilise DLSS?

The price currently pushes me towards the 6700XT. However i am currently testing them both, to see if the 3070 is worth the extra - even when not taking RTX and DLSS into account. I shall update with my personal findings.

It’s great to see the addition of the elite capellix. I had a slight issue with mine, as they run at a different rpm to regular ML’s and in turn... i have to run the EC at quiet and ML’s at extreme, to balance the heating - however i have a front mount and exhaust is more important than intake...

I mean for OS 🤣. Although personally i don’t have a HDD as i utilise servers and the cloud and streaming. So for me - HDD’s are completely obsolete.

So whats everyones favourite cases? 3 categories: Premium, Budget, Not available at pcs. I’ll start with: Premium: Corsair 500D SE Budget: Corsair 4000D Airflow (Not so budget when you add the ML fans 🤣🤣) Not available: Corsair 4000X RGB I’m not even a Corsair fanboy, i just think they...

The H150i is available for threadrippers but not regular builds. The issue is, if someone buys say a 5000X and a H100i, they would still need to buy another fan (which is included in the H150i), so the H150 is only really around £20 more expensive, for a better cooling performance - especially...

Not sure if you can OC ram whilst under pcs warranty but... it’s literally free performance, especially at 1080p. I’ve never OC’d ram before, but i just got some new ram and the box states ‘designed for extreme overclocking’. It’s already solid @ 3600mhz cl16 (16-19-19-36). Anyone else dabbled...

What i can’t understand about Corsair is... they make cases like the 4000D and 5000D airflow case and they only add 2 fans. These cases then get benchmarked by reviewers, where they tend to get beat by competitors cases (because they have 3 or 4 as stock) and people simply look at the...

I don’t believe it is on there already (although i may just keep missing it), but... some nicer sleeved cables would be a great option. I’m just really not a fan of these twin head cables, used by Corsair, it’s just not aesthetically pleasing in my opinion.

At a £42 price difference, i just can’t find myself able to recommend the Samsung on a build, over a firecuda, unless money is no object. Does anyone know any time, when the Samsung is going to legit be worth that markup? (It’s roughly 50% more and that difference can often be price between a...

A great case, that combines the greatness of RGB and the 4000 design. Basically a budget friendly 500D SE.

As if they aren’t already expensive enough...

So the 3000 series really do seem capable, of being really pushed by OCing. I benchmarked my 3070 and it scored something like 20th percentile, with a 149% bench. Suspecting everyone has overclocked theirs, i took to reddit to find some overclocks... i stuck modest with +100 clock and +850...

So i’m wondering, everyone is going to want to keep their thermals on point, so they don’t throttle. But how much noise does everyone rig make / what would you consider to be acceptable? my current one i get around 80ish fps on cod, but it is pretty much entirely silent (no exaggeration). My...

So me and my friend, are both looking at getting a gaming build (each, not sharing one). It’s for 1440p gaming and paired with 1440p 144hz monitors. So far i have near enough settled with this, but critiquing it with others, i think will always be beneficial. the sole purpose is gaming, i have...
