The saga continues.
I asked PCS to deliver the PC using their before 10:30 service, which they agreed to - so at least I could go to do a day's work when it arrived, important when self-employed. Got a message at 10:00 ish from DPD saying it would be 15:34 to 16:34. Annoying as I lost a days...
So the RMA has been completed. Here's what PCS said:
"We have completed our RMA repair of your system. During the testing phase we were able to isolate the fault to the a loose CPU Cable. Firstly, we re-seated all the core components including the Processor and Corsair cooler. We have installed...
That's exactly right. I wondered what you guys think it is, as an exercise and so other people might learn. I'm a total noobie - the likes of XMP and Q fan were a mystery 4 weeks ago. I'm not one for showing my gear off, but especially as at the moment it's £2K of wiring and lights.
The 150i...
OK ta, I'll look into it. I'd like to have it repaired and up and running smoothly for a few weeks then maybe tinker with their assistance. As I say I'm brand new to all this.
OK, it's being collected today so PCS may well do that.
I have my own reasons for Raid. I also have 2 external drives and cloud for my particular needs - I have something like 360GB of photos that must never be lost. Ever.
Sorry I hit return before I'd finished posting origionally and went in to edit. Asa - that's might have been what confused you.
As far as I'm aware the pump can't be controlled either but does seem to work. I updated Win 11 till there were no more to do, ditto iCUE and Armoury Crate.
No idea...
Why confusing? I thought it was clear? The cpu cooler fans are revving themselves silly with a cool cpu - where does the problem lie - firmware? build? And the boot up seems abnormally long - again, why? Is that normal? (seems not to me - I was expecting around 13 secs).
Didn't want you to wade...
So yesterday too delivery of my new PC -
5000D Airflow,

H150i Pro XT cpu cooler.
On receipt and switching on the PC the H150i cooler fans x 3 were immediately very...
Hi guys, You can see some of my landscapes of Pembrokeshire here. Most heavily adjusted in LR and PS. I used to do some wedding stuff as well, this sort of thing. Before and after.
Yeah
Thanks. Yeah, spec pretty much as above. I see what you mean above PCS not moving fans, so it will go in roof. I wasn't referring to overclocking - I've seem some stuff where the BIOS wasn't updated with new firmware (though not PCS, just vids) and I wondered if this was part of the QC. My...
Hi guys,
Just a couple of questions before I pull the trigger on my new build.
1. I want to make sure that the H150i cpu cooler I have chosen gets mounted in the roof of the 5000D case - will help make sure air escapes from the pump to the rad. and is configured as Corsair state in their blurb...
Thanks for your feedback. Just a note that RGB is NOT a big deal at all for me.
Great point about 2nd M2.
PCS suggest I need a 650W psu (with a 20% margin) but I added an 850W. Interesting you suggest a 1000W.
The Raid is only £55 extra with the 2nd HDD. That's a lot of piece of mind for...
Hi,
My max budget is £2100. Mainly used for Photoshop and Lightroom (some but not a lot of video editing) and gaming, plus usual Excel/Word stuff and internet browsing/social media stuff. My monitor is a BenQ GW2765 60Hz. 2560 x 1440.
Important: Speedy processing. Raid 1 for storing images (I...
