  1. Great. I'll probably just get a router. I would totally run a wire if I was living in my own home. I'm in an apartment and will only be here for the next 6-12 mo, so the powerline & router combo will get me through. Thanks!
  2. Hi all! Just looking for a product, but not sure how to word it for a successful search. Wondering if yall have any tips. I'm in my room upstairs, wifi sucks. Have had powerline adapters up here for a while for my desktop, was thinking about doing a wifi extender for my phone, laptop etc.. My thought process is, I have the powerline adapter as is, with ethernet coming out of it. Can't i just get an extender with ethernet-in? I guess that would just be a router. Should I just get another cheap router? EDIT: The layout is; modem -> router -> powerline adapter -> (device I want to emit wifi ??) Thanks!
  3. Hey guys sorry for the lack of update. The problem turned out to be the PSU. Replaced the likely faulty Corsair CX750M with a Corsair RM750, little higher quality, same specs for the most part. Thanks for your suggestions!
  4. Hey there! GPU - NVIDIA 2060 SUPER, reference card CPU - Intel i7-9700k PSU - Corsair CX750M MB - MSI mpg z390 ga RAM - 2x 8GB Corsair Vengence @ 3000 SSD - samsung 970 plus m.2 500gb So I'm having a little bit of a confusing issue. Just built a new PC 8 days ago. Had to wait 7 ish days for the GPU (NVIDIA 2060 super, reference) to come in. In that mean time I played off and on with my old GTX970, had no issues. Keep in mind it was light use, not extended periods of time. Get my new card, slap it in, almost immediately the PC shuts off like my power went out. Everything black, no BSOD, no message. Computer then reboots like nothing happened. Event viewer reads Kernel-power 41, aka unexpected shutoff. This happens multiple times, with varying intervals of time between episodes. Sometimes can go an hour without doing it, sometimes its continuous on startup etc. Typically it happens just while browsing or sitting on my desktop. I go through NVIDIA tech support for a lil while, ends up wanting to RMA the card. I put my 970 back in, in prep to RMA the 2060 and it shuts down one more time. The next day (today) I've been on the computer for over an hour and it hasn't occurred with the 970 in the machine. Thinking it might be an issue of power dips with the PSU possibly, and since the 970 might require less power it just isnt running into it as much? Should I RMA the card or go for a new PSU or something else? Thanks

  6. Hey guys! Having a little trouble after a Windows 10 Update. Walked away from my computer, came back and I had a screen telling me it couldn't see my operating system, and to unplug other drives. Turns out it just doesn't see my SSD with windows on it anymore. I have a PNY XLR8 pro 240gb SSD. While looking at it, I noticed there were red LEDs on in the back, behind the power and sata cables, not sure if they were there before. I then did as it said and unplugged all the drives except the SSD, and now it boots me into the EFI shell with no explicit intentions. (Image attached) Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks
  7. Good tips, thanks man. I am interested in building it myself, I was just thinking "if this is a good deal, might as well". I'm not insistent on building it myself. I think I was just inflating the value of the 1080ti.
  8. Would you pursue or just look into building a new one? Just based on how long the parts would stay relevant.
  9. Sounds good. Trying to decide whether to go for this or build my own in a while. My current specs are a 970, i7 4700k, some other knick nacks, starting to fall behind.
  10. Hahaha, thanks for the input. Thoughts on where you'd shoot for, or if you'd pursue? Edit: I'm blind and didn't see what you said.
  11.

  12. Yeah, for sure. He said he would totally take it back, just makes me wonder if he's had it for 6mo then I wonder if I really have that much to worry about.
  13. The seller just got back to me and said he bought it new and possessed it for 6 months, and was not the culprit of the liquid damage. He wasn't aware. Edit: It would be kind of an oof. I spent 1000$ on it and I don't rake it in.
