    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Laptop Optimiser Tools

    Could you post your full spec as detailed in the link below. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/how-to-post-your-specification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/#post-559098 Personally, and assuming no hardware fault, I'd backup everything (although you probably already have a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST The Windows Sandbox

    Is something like VMWare Workstation a suitable alternative for this - and maybe simper? I was a long time user of VirtualPC and VMWare Fusion on Macs for Windows virtualisation.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST WiFi 6/ WiFi Antenna not being dectected…

    Off topic - feel free to move/delete I don't know if it was a recent Windows update that caused it, but I had a few worrying crashes (well, mostly failures to launch) in some games I'd played happily for 10s/100s of hours previously...and I probably get one or two crashes a month normally...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Premier League Gone Mad

    Don't forget that Everton got 2 sets of deductions (one reduced on appeal, the other they didn't bother with as they were safe) for 2 different years...so Man City should get 10 years of deductions...and even if reduced on appeal they should be no less than 2 points each. Which would mean either...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Tell me what you think

    I've got the Alienware AW3423DW (non-F) version which came a few months before the model above, and had been waiting for about 18 months for a 32" OLED but got fed up waiting. It's a very slight 1800R curve compared to some (i.e. from above the edges look about 1-2" further forward than the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Tell me what you think

    Technically possible, yes! Recommended, no! As to show 1440p on a 4k display will mean everything has to be interpolated to fit into more pixels as 3840 is not directly divisible by 2560 (or 2160 by 1440) it's 1.5:1 but it needs to be a whole number to be accurately mapped (1080p is 2:1 but...

    There are so many... Or you could just take a chance on a box of random Mini Pops... ...or tiny Bitty Pops...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New build, no connection to monitor

    If the motherboard shroud is not fitted properly, then I'd RMA it to send it back. But that's a very low spec PSU, RAM and SSD for a gaming PC.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Way time to upgrade RAM but how?

    Can’t help with specifics, but it seems you ordered laptop RAM (SODIMM) instead of desktop RAM (DIMM). You’ll need to get the specs for the RAM you need from the HP website, or a RAM lookup service (using the make/model of your PC) at Crucial.com. For troubleshooting, or identification of the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Best intake setup for aio.

    No, because that ambient air will just be heated as it passes through the radiator. The radiator is there to radiate away the heat collected in the coolant from the CPU...and you're simply pushing the hotter air back into the case where it has nowhere to go (other than the single exhaust). I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Best intake setup for aio.

    If you flip them, then you're pushing ambient air from outside the case, through the hot radiator and adding more hot air to the inside of the case...and that hot GPU air with the additional hot air from the AIO would have nowhere to go (other than the single rear exhaust).

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Need advice on first PC build.

    Well, the the build exceeds what is required for the official 'recommended' specs: But, as with most system requirements, they don't specify what resolution/quality these are for. So we don't know if 'recommended' is intended for 60FPS @ 1080p or 144FPS at 4k. However, from the reviews I've...
