Hello all, my s/n is khanm78 40 years old and this is my first real modern'ish build.
messed about with pc since late 98se mainly hand me downs, second hand or bottom of the barrel builds.
self built this rig: Strix z370-g I7 8700 16gb ram 2x 1tb hdd and 2gb r7 360 gfc looking to add m.2 and 1070 / 1080 later.
upgraded to this rig from my old AMD a10 apu system.
I like the rog eufi bios first time I have had the plesure of using it so many option so many temtations to experiment, its the reason I chose the 8700 none K cpu, cant damage what i cant mess with, maybe later when i get braver.
the only issue I had was with the LAN intermitently dropping. WAN was working normal, but lan would disconect and reconect often but randomly.
this was solved with some experimenting, and just incese anyone else gets this issue the answer that worked for me is below, as I could not find the solution anywhere on this site or google.
in device manager right click your LAN and left click properties.
1, click power tab, I unticked all boxes. this didnt fix my issue but I always dissable auto power off on WAn/LAN/Mouse & keyboard.
2, click on the Advanced tab, in here on the left side look for ( Energy Efficient Ethernet ) click it and on the right set the value to off. this is what actualy fixed the issue.
I also had an issue with the site for people looking to download driver/s or utilities and cant see anything after selecting an OS, it could be that you have a add blocker installed , even if u have it dissabled the links dont show, try another browser without addblock, ublock or such installed for the links see if that helps.
anyhow hope this helps and off to look around the site osme more.
