I haven't re-installed windows since i got the PC, it should be in the same state as when it arrived.

Yeah other devices are fine and give me expected results on speed tests, I've checked with my ISP and they apparently don't do any traffic shaping at all. Even if they did it would be odd for an ISP to throttle speed tests right? Here's my build order: Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 275Q QUIET...

I've connected by ethernet and have a similar problem of being limited to 30 mbps in certain situations, the same way it's behaving via WiFi, whilst some speed tests report 30 mbps others are reporting 120-130 mbps via wifi and closer to 200 mbps via ethernet which is what i believe my...

Hey, I've got a strange problem with my network and I was hoping somebody may have experienced something similar and could help me out. So my internet speed is quoted at 200 Mbps, i'm using WiFi and the router is a room and a bit away so i would expect a potential drop of 50 or so Mbps however...

So here is the picture of my boot devices, previously i couldn't see the boot manager but after a BSOD it's now visible. I got a blue screen of death with a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT stop code today and ever since then i've been able to see my windows boot manager in the BIOS again, it seems to have...

My boot order doesn't even have my M.2 Drive in it, this is why i'm getting confused. I can't find my drive in my BIOS on startup at all anymore, when i could it was the first boot drive in the boot order. It's as if my PC doesn't realize the SSD is plugged in until 10-30 seconds after bootup.

the M.2 drive doesn't show up in my BIOS.

I've ended up with a seemingly strange problem on my new PC, it's been working fine for a couple months but the other day when turning it on i was greeted by the "Checking for media.. no media present" screen on start up, when entering into the BIOS at startup my boot drive can't be seen. The...

Alright thanks, i'll just stick with the monitor I've got then :) I am keen to try out gaming at higher refresh rates though but i'll wait until my monitor gets a bit older.

Want to keep it as low as possible ideally, is there anything worth buying that's around £200? or would it be better to just stick with my current monitor at that budget?

Hey just posting to see if people think it's worth upgrading my monitor to go along with my new PC. This is the monitor i currently have, a 1440p 60Hz 27 Inch Monitor from Acer: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-K272HUL-bmiidp-27-inch-Widescreen/dp/B00JB6HCIC And this is my new PC build: Case NZXT...

Ah this is the motherboard i just ordered on my build, will i see any issues with not having USB 3.2 gen 2?

Heres a quick build i made in the configurator that should have no problems covering your needs, it's near the top end of your budget so you could definitely downgrade if you wanted to save money. Case NZXT H500 MID-TOWER GAMING CASE (BLACK) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core CPU...

From the tests I've seen online the noctua cpu fans can actually outperform a lot of the liquid coolers on the market, and run quieter.

My build there is to pair with a 1440p 60Hz Monitor.
