    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Four beeps

    Sodao - Thank you for that diagnosis. That could well be the problem. I have been swapping between laptop (HDMI) and new PC with 3070 (DP). That would also explain why the problem appears and disappears. I had also noticed that sometimes I still get 4 beeps, but everything seems to work ok ...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    Ah. Thanks Nursemorph. I will just have to satisfy my RGB love by taking the door off from time to time. ;-)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    PC turned up on Tuesday. Had some minor issues in getting it set up: * BT/WiFi drivers needed to be updated following Windows 10 update. * Graphics card needed to be reseated (wiggled loose in transit maybe) But other than that, it is all fine and dandy. If you are still waiting for yours ...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Four beeps

    Thanks Steaky360. I will try reseating the graphics card (I just gave it a wiggle previously). And yes, I still have my old rig (GTX 930) which I can swap it in to see if the fault goes away. Will try over the w/e to see if it works. Otherwise ... RMA on Monday.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Four beeps

    OK. So having a few teething problems since getting my PC on Tuesday. Worked fine for the first couple of days, whilst I updated Windows 10 and a couple of out of date drivers. Then yesterday ... it wouldn't turn on fully. Lots of RGB loveliness in the case, but screen blank. After a pause...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Bluetooth not working error code 43

    Thanks Spydertracks. Yes, I had updated Windows 10 until there were no more updates left to give me. I suspect that one of the Windows 10 updates then needed the Intel driver to be updated.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Bluetooth not working error code 43

    Thanks Scott. Downloading Intel's automatic driver detector identified that two drivers were out of date. Both the WiFi and the BT needed updating. Now works perfectly.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Bluetooth not working error code 43

    Hi - Having a problem with the WiFi/BT card. The WiFi is working fine. But the Bluetooth isn't working. It is all on the same card, so would have thought it would all be working or not at all. According to the device manager I am getting Error code 43. Image attached and spec below. Ideas welcome.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST USB-C ports not working

    Did you confirm? I have exactly the same problem. Guessed it wasn't connected. And can confirm that the rear USB-C sucks. Only a small thing, but bit disappointed.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    After 55 days, switched from 3080 to 3070 on Monday. This morning I got "Order Dispatched". Wakefield is 165m away. Hoping DPD can get it here over the weekend. There will be photos.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Although "Building" was only a few hours on Monday morning, I have now been in "Testing" for four days*. I was far too overexcited by the movement (now on 59 days) that I have become incredibly frustrated by the stall. I am sure the PCS is very busy right now ... but please finish Testing soon...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Current wait time is about 25 days I believe. I switched at 55 days and was in Build and then Test within hours. One tip ... the PSU configurator is on the blink. When you downgrade from a 3080 to a 3070 it will helpfully tell you that your PSU is over specced. If you downgrade that, they will...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Confusing PSU information

    Annoyingly, the 850RMx is not available. So I have gone back to the 1000RMx ... which is on pre-order. So I am going back into a queue. Actually, this is quite helpful as I am considering to upgrade the 3070 to the 3080 next year, and I would probably have to upgrade the power supply then...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Confusing PSU information

    Just re-run the configurator. The message it comes up with is: You have selected a 750W power supply, but based on our calculations you actually only need a 650W power supply. We have calculated your specification to require around of 564W power including a 20% allowance. Although it is not a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Confusing PSU information

    Hi When changing the spec of my order, the PCS configurator recommended that I needed only 650W. This seemed a little low to me, so I went with a 750W (just in case I needed a bit more). I am now in building, and have a red notice saying that I need 829W and need to upgrade. Which is...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Everyone who has been pre-production for less than 55 days have all taken a +1 step closer to completion. I have decided to switch from the 3080 to 3070. I have vacated the 3080 queue. When I saw on the forums that the 3070 wait list is around 35 days, I figured that would mean I would...

    Simply because demand is much higher than TSMC's ability to make chips for AMD.

    Just realised the optics of the "Haha" following the "im only 10 days in". You need to read the IMGFLIP.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Maybe because you are near the top of the queue and they didn't want to freak you out. I would take that as a good sign.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    We have had plenty of Denial, Anger and Bargaining. And lots of Acceptance. As Depression is step 4 (of the 5 stages of grief), I am guessing "yes" but no one wanted to get their keyboard wet by typing whilst weeping.
