[Newbie] Building a new pc

[enenyi]

Considering that my plan is 200Mbps, what's the speed should i be expecting?

100-140Mbps. I'm on Singtel 200Mbps plan and that was the best I could get out of Aztech homeplugs. 50-70% efficiency for homeplugs. I've now switched out of homeplugs and gone direct LAN via trunking to my room to get full 200Mbps.

144hz looks so tempting sia....my league of legends sometimes screen tear cus too much fps so sad......build wise just follow the standard grounding tips and u will be safe. I wish u great luck in your build.


P.S. Couldn't stop myself from commenting cus u are quite similar to the me back then XD.....plus we both 1997

So, I managed to assemble all the parts with only a screwdriver within 2 hours. Fortunately, I managed to boot my PC into the BIOS after a few tries as I initally forgot to plug in the cable for GPU.

Front

(I took out the HDD trays in the upper bracket and rotated it 90° for better airflow.)

Back

(Quite pleased with the cable management)

Hi guys, a few weeks ago my computer started to auto-reboot itself after shutting down on its own when I'm playing Overwatch and GTA 5. Now, my computer will instantly auto-reboot itself when I load to the menu of Overwatch or when I click the 'GPU Stress Test' button on furmark.

I have already brought my PSU and GPU down for a check and it came out to be working fine. I have also ran the memory diagnostic test and prime95 without any problems. So I guess the issue lies with my motherboard?

Check your PC temps. Could be thermal throttling and PC force shutdown to prevent further damage.

I don't think it is related to heat issues because my GPU is always below 70 degrees and CPU always below 50 degrees. My computer will still auto-reboot itself when opening Furmark after I have just turned on the computer after some time.

could be your mobo faulty. have u tried with another gpu to test if it is slots issues?

btw is your specs is it accurate as your current system?

 

[DavidJohnson1997]

When I ran test such as Heaven 4.0 or Furmark the temperature will always be below 70°C.

I also suspect that its mobo faulty but thing is they only open on weekdays while i totally cant make it on weekdays.

What do you mean slots issues? I do not have another GPU to test.

Yes, my specs are still accurate

I think he meant by the pcie slot faulty. So if u could get another gpu which is working fine to test it out, it would narrow it down to that.
