Though this is about Project Cars, it should go for all. Poles in the distance look so awful! I have DS4X with MFAA, 16x AF but still thin object in the distance look like crap. This also goes for TPP. Any suggestions how to avoid this?

I could have called an engineer and could have done it in front of him.

I don't think at all it was worth risking 800$

I am talking about the PWR_FAN of psu not a case fan Good to know I aint the only one.

Guess I am the only asshole.

I did. Found no mention of a floppy connector.

I am 16 and I have been following tech since my childhood. I really wanted a gaming PC so I researched and bought the parts and decided to assemble it myself. WORST. CHOICE. EVER. I was so sure that I couldn't mess up cause everything goes in a single way in, except one, the one nobody warns about. There was a 4-pin connector coming from my PSU that LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE A FAN CONNECTOR, I thought it was a PWR fan. I failed to see that PWR_FAN on mobo was 3 pin. Turns out it was a floppy disk connector.... I burnt my mobo. I luckily got a replacement free of cost... phew (I have no idea why they did that). I figured that all the video on youtube for assembling pc's used high end PSU's which probably didn't have this connector thus they forgot to mention it. I did find other people doing the same mistake on the net and getting same results. My parents are furious at me now cause I could have just straight up burnt their money. They have the right to be though... should have called an engineer. Did you guys mess up your first PC or I am the only ultra stupid one to do so?

Ant static mat + glass+ tiled floor

Thank you! Also, i smudged a little bit of the thermal paste so i need to wait till i get new thermal paste, cant get it today cause its a holiday. The cpu is stil in the mobo, i called my engineer and he said its fine if the cpu is still in the mobo (outside of the case). Am i fine?

Does that mean I fucked up on the static?

So i was really scared for static on my mobo as this is my first build. I used anti static mat to mount all my components. So what i failed to realize is that i was putting pressure on the underside of the mobo as i did not use the box. Also i was being a fucking idiot, i was so scared for static that i plugged in my psu and just touched it several times ALSO TOUCHING THE MOBO FROM MY OTHER HAND. Am I done now?

I know that but it still doesnt spread to every part of the CPU

I started building my first computer yesterday and I already messed up by smudging the thermal paste on the HSK. I am so scared now because of this. I now find tiny maybe non-existent mistakes I did like bending the pins below the mobo while installing the RAM etc. How scared were you on your first build?

I know pea method is recommended but my only concerns it is that it does not touch all of the CPU. Is that a matter for concern? I am probably gonna start WWIII here.

I bought from an Indian retailer ofc
