    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Gigabyte GPU - Pulsing Fans

    Hey, Still nothing. Had it set to 30% startup, and stay at 30% until 60'C and it still does it. Just to see, I set the fans manually to 90% and 100% and ran the benchmark, and even then, the fans was still pulsing/revving up (not sure how you rev beyond 100% speed). Just ran Guardian's of...

    I’m sure OC-10GD means something on the barcode bit lol. I know it’s not the eagle because it doesn’t say eagle, and that’s as far as my knowledge of gigabyte goes (I thought I was getting a Zotac, ask me about them 🤦‍♂️😂) Screenshot below (need to pop out for a bit, will reply shortly)

    Hey all, Got my build on the 23rd December (woo hoo!) but only now getting around to installing everything, getting ready for some good solid gaming! I've been running Heaven benchmark to see how well my gigabyte 3080 handles, and I've noticed that the fans are pulsing all the time (think of a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST What GPU brand are PCS selling?

    For reference, I ordered the 10GB 3080, so not sure if this will be similar, but I messaged PCS on the 2nd Dec (asking about non-reference cards, as I was new to the whole concept) and got this response: “All of our Nvidia graphics cards are “Non-Reference” graphics cards, the brand we use is...

    That moment when it's quiet at work, you realise that you get the daily RTX 3080 queue position notification emails, and that part of your job is working in Power BI with data and forecasting: (Shame I have no idea on my build order position though :ROFLMAO: but fingers crossed! lol)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Omicron - Plan B (8th Dec 2021)

    Hey all, So, I wasn’t in the PC-building-game back during the original COVID lockdowns. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge/memories of how PCS operated during that time, given that the new Omicron variant has put us into Plan B lockdown, with home working. I was curious about...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST First Build - £2000-£2500, looking for some advice

    Cheers Scott. To be fair, while I have picked up the LG 27” 1440p, my tv is a Samsung OLED, 4k at 120hz…sure the other half won’t mind watching Netflix on a tablet now and then 😏😂 What do we know about the 4000 series at the moment? My big concern is going to be the supply chain and scalpers…I...

    Hey all 👍 Specs below, but whilst sitting here (staring out into the snow, pining for my build to come soon) I was wondering about exhaust fans. For the below, is there any major benefit to adding a single black exhaust fan to the rear panel? Just bought Cyberpunk whilst on sale, ready for...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST AIO Mounting - Roof or Front?

    Hi all, Thanks for the replies (tried to rush back here to edit my post when I saw the promo video for the cooler on Corsair's website and in big letters it says "H150i - 360mm 🤦‍♂️😂) If there's no real difference to performance, then it's fine if it's on the roof (think I prefer the tubes...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST AIO Mounting - Roof or Front?

    Hi all, I've bought a build in the last few days (see total config below for details), and I've been reading up on the Corsair H150i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler. I've seen a lot of thoughts and videos regarding where it should be mounted (top or front panel)...
