I’m thinking it’s the internet package too or something with my location. 2 years ago I lived about 30 miles north of where I live now and I averaged 15-20 ping. The server is South of me, though, so I’ve ruled out distance. Also, I’ve always used the same ISP, Armstrong, and, like I said, had...

So for starters, I’m a competitive Fortnite player, and I know Fortnite receives a lot of hate, but I am 16 and I’ve made some money from it and I only have one complaint at the moment. I can’t seem to get low ping. To mostly everyone, low ping is anything under 50, but to me, I can’t function...

I just installed a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I couldn’t get my PC to boot up at first, so I did some easy setup in the BIOS where I selected what I would be doing, which I chose gaming, and then it asked what kind of CPU cooler I was using, to which I chose tower cooler. After doing this...

I couldn’t even get to the windows login screen but I turned off quick boot and it seems fine now so for now, it seems the problem is solved.

So I installed a new motherboard, an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E, and a new CPU, an Intel Core i7-9700k, and whenever I try to boot up, I get a spinning wheel along with the windows logo and ‘preparing automatic repair’. I have searched for a solution for a while and haven’t found anything for my...

So Armstrong offers a service that has download speeds up to 500 mb/s. If I were to get that would I have lower ping or would that not make a difference from 100 mb/s.

I play Fortnite competitively and I’ve might a decent amount of money for a 15 year old off it but the problem is, I play on about 40 ping. I live about 98 miles from the Ohio server for Fortnite and some people said you have to be within 150km to get 0 ping (not actually 0 just rounded down)...

The PSU is like in this little box in my case but I’ll see if I can get it out and check it tomorrow

It’s a 600 watt Thermaltake PSU

I’m not sure I purchased the pc off craigslist a while back and it just said 600 watt power supply.

So I am going to majorly upgrade my PC and I was thinking of new parts I will need. Right now I have a 600 watt power supply running a GTX 1060 6gb and I am upgrading my motherboard, GPU, and CPU. Will my 600 watt power supply be able to power a GTX 1080 and an i7-8700k?

Did all that and still nothing. So I believe it changed when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in because the sound started coming out of the monitor. Any other ideas?

I have had my Dell 27” gaming monitor (D2719HGF) for a few weeks now. I have my display port cable plugged into my GPU, a GEFORCE GTX1060 6GB, with an HDMI adapter plugged into my monitor. When I first set up the monitor, I was able to go into my NVIDEA settings and set the monitor to 1920x1080...
