    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice on 14inch laptop

    Thanks for that. Noted on the ram part. Curiously for my user case scenario is it worth me increasing the ram to 16gb and upping cpu to i7 for the extra £100 or would it be overkill?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST AMD RX6000 GPU driver compatibility.

    So my 6900xt has been running smoothly with games like cyberpunk 2077, Baldurs gate 3, Red dead 2, deus ex no problems. Older games like Dark souls, gothic 3 and wasteland 2 runs well with no issues. The only game that I noticed that did not like 1440p was dragons dogma as it suffers a little...

    Here's a bread I made using leftover yogurt, some honey and chopped walnuts. I went with a flour roux method to help give it a lighter finish. Other ingredients included butter, dried yeast, salt, milk and eggs. It took a total of 10 hours to prove, which I've knocked back the dough 3 times...

    PCSPECIALIST Tonights dinner - Not for vegetarians!

    Personally if it's a high quality steak, then a simple salt, pepper will be sufficient as a well hung British beef is packed full of flavour and needs little else. A good idea to take steak out of frdge and leave at room temperature for 40 minutes before cooking. I love the Longhorn breed rib...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair 680X not big enough to fit 6800 XT. Case suggestions?

    Sorry to hear that 680X wont fit. Looks like 500D would be the better choice of the 2 you've mentioned.If you opt for 500D, you might want to ask the guys in the forum if you mayneed to invest in a 140mm rear fan for it. Would they have a spare coolermaster H500M available to allocate to your...

Going to try to get the right office chair in the next week or so, before I get myself into a receiving end of an accident...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 2x16 3600mhz vs 4x8 3200mhz RAM

    Come to think of it, my current rig is 4x 8gb ram 3600 which was lowered down to 3466 by PCS. I'm guessing for stability.

    Makes sense, especially in my case as I can never sit still, even at work.
