[WWP]

Are computer parts from Aliexpress genuine ? Like this one:

How would I know it's original like the ones on Amazon?

We've seen a lot of cases of frauds (mostly GPUs) on Ebay and Aliexpress, but they're generally both unreasonably cheap and very obvious - wrong outputs, half the price, wrong size etc.

Judging from the images and price alone, I'd say this is probably OK. Getting a GT220 and slapping a "GTX780" label and new cooler on it is easy. Making a board with an LGA1150 socket and the right ports in the right places is a lot harder. The price is also not unreasonably cheap.

However, you're still buying a used board for an obsolete platform. This is rarely a good idea.

Thanks for the reply.

Watch my video on YouTube, this is my rig and it's behaving weird, not booting up at all. I removed everything, still not booting up. What could be the problem?

Please post a new thread and describe it in text form. Videos should only be used for stuff that can't be described; I don't want to sit through six minutes when I could skim through half a dozen lines of text.
