    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST I NEED HELP ON OVER CLOCKING PLEASE :(

    https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/luke-hill/amd-ryzen-5-3600xt-cpu-review-4-6ghz-oc/all/1/ is a review where they ran all cores at 4.6 using additional cooling (as you have) for a small benefit (8%) But you really need to know what you are doing to overclock these Ryzen CPU's as the in...

    and 5xxx cpu's. 3060ti looks quite quick at the moment If ordering 'in stock' components its around 13 working days (based on orders made end of November - based on my sample of 2). That was the push to get out xmas orders though so might be a bit slower over new year.

    Isn't that a bit naughty.. and people why the high street is dying, happy to use Curry's to window shop but not buy from them.. ;) (I'm only joking, I do the same, but it does make you feel sorry for Bricks and Mortar stores, Online should have to pay more rates really to compensate) Anyway...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Christmas Delivery query

    It is tricky, especially when new products are released. If PCS don't show it as available on the day it is launched because they don't have the stock for another 3 days, then they will lose literally thousands of orders..... They cover this by usually saying it is on pre order, but I am not...

    I I have been tracking two orders, both for friends, one that was under my account. Both were ordered when everything was in stock (no 30 series GPU's or 5xxx CPU's) and before xmas delivery deadline. Both of them had components that were later out of stock (when they went into build) . One...

    I would also try and go for a 144hz 1080p monitor if you can, these days 1080p / 60hz is a bit old school for a new mid level PC, you wont really be getting the best out of that level of GPU

    Your starting point is to decide whether you want Intel or AMD. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/amd-vs-intel.72675/

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading to 12gb RAM worth while?

    Cool, we got as far as the first part in Task Manager the other day which is what promoted this, but not the second part with the Hard Page faults so that's sounds like a good tip cheers, thats definitely new to me so thanks 👍 Hmm, that's the sort of issue that was hinted at when I googled it...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading to 12gb RAM worth while?

    He is coming up against RAM being fully utilised in COD mainly I think, he says it's laggy and he managed to get rid of most of it dropping settings - but more than he should have to. Personally I think he is doing too much (discord and probably more things open etc) in the background. The...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading to 12gb RAM worth while?

    I am quite sure the principle of going higher than 8gb is worthwhile for his use, I have gone through a few tests with them (gaming PC) the query is about the principle of going with 3 sticks of 4gb, an unusual arrangement. But I will continue to research elsewhere once I find out the motherboard.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading to 12gb RAM worth while?

    Hi One of my friends son's has a 3 year old PCS desktop. I can't show the exact specs but it was an AMD 2600 (edit, I initially said I7, it wasnt), 8gb RAM 1060. I think he is struggling a little due to RAM, and I happen to have a spare 4gb RAM stick that matches the speed. (2100 as far as I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Second build on PCS advice needed plz

    Yes, as Martin hints at you are caught a little in-between GPU's if you are going for a 1440p monitor. I think a 2060 will just about manage but it feels like a little bit of a dead end purchase due to its age as it has been replaced. It will not get to the full 144 fps on all games at high...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Second build on PCS advice needed plz

    I would be very surprised if your old system is bottle necking your monitor. I think you need to do some serious benchmarking to see if in the games you play are consistently under 75fps , and whether that even matters. If you do go ahead then you will need to upgrade that motherboard and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST (*Long sigh*)...make me feel better please.

    I don't think you will be disappointed. There would have been tweaks that people would have made but assuming your monitor matches up its all good :)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST is this still overpowered for low level games?

    I think for your personal requirements you have chosen well. The CPU will be good for FM20, I play FM20 on a 3900x and can choose any number of leagues/databases etc. If your priority is noise then maybe add a H100i liquid cooler as I find it runs near silently. If in the future you upgraded...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ordered spec hope I got it right!

    Oh I know, split the RAM across 4 sticks ( 4 X 8 gb@ 3600mhz.) Apparantly that will be perfect for that CPU, it loves 4 sticks.
