Thank you, steaky360. Yes, the noise was there out of the box. I've accessed and updated iCUE and changed the fans from balanced to quiet and the pump from quiet to variable which has made a big reduction in noise. There's still a low irritating whine which comes and goes from the pump but my...

Hi, could anyone please point me in the right direction to a good video tutorial or documentation explaining how I reduce the fan noise for the desktop PC below? I can't believe how loud it is while idle. It's like I'm sitting next to a hoover. Even the dog is scared. Thanks! Case FRACTAL...

Brilliant. Thanks, Scott!

Thank you, Scott. The only PC game I play is FM24 so other than that it's frontend dev/design tasks. After reading your sticky threads and playing around with pc-builds.com, I'm actually wondering if my original build is overkill for what I'll be using it for. Do you think I'd get away with...

I'm in desperate need of a new desktop PC after someone was kind enough to break into my home and take a hammer to all my hardware they couldn't carry, including my previous PC Specialist build. I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. Max budget is 2k but the more value for money...

One week on, seems to have worked (fingers crossed!). Thanks!

I'll try reseating graphics card.

There's no beep when I get the black screen, no display signal etc. It actually came on first time this morning and I got the usual one beep. It's so random, it's weird.

Hi. I got my custom desktop computer from PC Specialist in July/August 2019 and everything was working fine until last week. The pc appears to boot up, the power button light is on, the internal LED lights flash on, the small fan at the back does its thing, the usb ports work (I can charge my...

So this is it. Putting my order in today. I'm probably going to pair it with the LG 29WK600 29-Inch Ultrawide monitor which is going for £187 elsewhere. Thanks for all your help. I wouldn't have known where to begin. Case FRACTAL DEFINE S BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7...

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate that. (y) Still waiting for when everything clicks into place and I feel like I've got this. My weekends and weeknights (when I'm not nodding off from day job) are being swallowed up by online courses and youtube tutorials. I seem to be getting a...

Great. Thanks for this. (y)

Currently using WAMP for WordPress development and testing. Still very much in learner mode due to my full-time job.

Just a quick bump as I'm looking to put my order in next week. Same uses as detailed in my original post although I'm not as obsessed with it being as "quiet as an incredibly considerate church mouse" if it comes at the cost of more power consumption. Is the spec below still a good deal for my...

Will do. Thanks for the tip!

Ah, brilliant. Love a good money saver. With £130 saved, that's my monitor sorted too :) I'll be putting my order in at the end of the month and will review/post pics of it in the relevant forum.

Thanks yet again, Oussebon! To be honest, the only game I ever play on pc is Football Manager.

Absolutely delighted with the current desktop setup (see post 3). However, I've decided to donate it to a relative who's in dire need. Bring on all that good karma. Now, should I just order the same desktop again or is there better value for money to be had elsewhere on PCS given the passing of...

Hi. I’m looking for a PCS build suitable for web development and design (the usual suspects: HTML, CSS, Java and PHP) plus weekend gaming (mostly the Football Manager series with a large database and high graphics settings). I’m hoping for something with a decent combination of performance and...
