    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC specalist "thermal paste for sufficient cooling" isnt sufficient

    Oh damn can it? I thought the max TDP on the 12900k was 241W with very short bursts of extra power. Ive just run Prime95 again and it maxes out at 243W which is the rated max that ive seen others get to and what intel also states

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC specalist "thermal paste for sufficient cooling" isnt sufficient

    So when i tried to solve the problem i checked the thermal paste, and the first time it was on there tight, and i might just have a bad sense of the amount of thermal paste that is needed but it seemed very thin, Like i could see the IHS thin. And when i put it back on i made sure that it was as...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Adding a second M.2 Samsung 970 EVO

    Looking at the motherboard, yes you can add another m.2, im assuming that the first is put into the top slot, so if you want to add another there's a long cover at the bottom of the motherboard that you can unscrew. Just be carefull and check if they have already added a standoff for the m.2...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Seeking wisdom about VR

    yeah, i can see how that becomes an issue especially when you use a device that costs £900 a few times and then never touch it again. Although i think that something like beat saber could keep me playing with VR especially if there arent any decent games being released. But i think i'll...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Seeking wisdom about VR

    * its a Meta company. If it was facebook then i would truly be selling my soul, But luckily meta is a totally brand new company with absolutely no shady business behind it. Is the index hard to get hold of? Atleast from what i can see from the store page they promise pretty quick delivery. And...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Seeking wisdom about VR

    yeah, that could be an issue. Especially with the cost of the index. But i think at this point i'd just accept my fate, Its constantly a game of "when does the next thing come out" with technology. And I've literally just gotten an upgrade to my pc, with a 12900k and a 3080, i would be shocked...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Seeking wisdom about VR

    Im hoping someone here knows something about VR, as i know absolutely nothing. The most i know is the main companies and some headsets. Im looking into getting a VR headset and would love some recommendations and some wisdom about this platform. I've heard that the quest 2 is amazing but from...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST L33t PC needed ASAP

    The only time you'll ever really want a 3090 is if you're planning on running games at 8k or you've got a heavy workload that requires pure power. Im not well informed on the AMD side of gpu's, But for your needs you only really need a 3080 if you're going all out. And looking at the build...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST L33t PC needed ASAP

    The M32U from gigabyte is a decent 4k 144hz option thats only around £750, but as you've recommended, if he's playing competitive there's no reason for a resolution that high anyway

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST L33t PC needed ASAP

    I know Steveyg is planning on setting up a build, so ill just input my personal opinion on this build. As i've already seen another person mention, the 3080ti is completely overkill and isnt worth the extra cost for the few extra frames, id put the money into a newer gen cpu instead. Same with...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Just got this badboy

    i hope they are, it would be incredible if AMD could put some extra competition in the GPU space, Even if it takes multiple generations i hope that they do compete more. Even if they just had ray tracing and a dlss equivalent that was even just close to being the same as what nvidia offers i...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Just got this badboy

    If nvidia keeps releasing gpu's for miners i fear the shortage will last even longer, i've heard that apparently the extra vram on the new 2060 12gb is apparently going to be great for when Ethereum switches to proof of stake. All we can do is pray and hope that the new fabs everyone is rushing...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Just got this badboy

    Its absolutely incredible, and runs smoothly on this system. But next summer might be too late, damn msrp prices just keep rising, i remember when we used to laugh at the 3080 costing £1000 from scalpers, but thats essentially the minimum cost now to get one
