Well, i updated the drivers. But no change... I'll see if i can get my hands on a good quality Cat6 cable to test it out before i go putting a whole lot of money towards redoing my cables and router, but thanks. That helped a lot!

Sorry, mean AC68U this one https://www.asus.com/br/Networking/RTAC68U/ Also, ok, i understand the router. But when i plugged the Cable directly from the Modem to the PC i was also getting just 100mb. The cable is Cat5e and it's of good quality, and my Pc board is Gigabit. So, could the problem there just be drivers or something else?

Yup Wifi is even worst actually, im getting even lower speeds at that. So, if i replace my current Asus router for an AC1900 for instance, that should fix the problem ?

So even though it's rated for 300mb speed and i'm suppose to be getting 200mb, since it's not Gigabit i can't get to it? So in that case, i should replace my Router with an adequate one to fix the problem? Just want to be sure before i go out replacing a good router for another one.

I also tried with the Cable directly from the Modem to the PC to be sure and the result was the same. For reference Router is an ASUS RT-N300 B1 Modem is Fiberhome An 5506 Also, here is an Screenshot of my status

I have an Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller from an MSI Z87 G45 Mobo on my PC and recently got an Internet speed upgrade from 20mb to 200mb However, im only getting access to 100mb. My ethernet cable is a good quality Cat 5e cable and my Router supports the 200mb speed i should be getting. The Controller is set to Auto Negotiate as it should, but the cap remains. Using windows auto-driver update it says i have the latest ones, though im weary of downloading anything else on my own before i get at least some opinions on what could the problem be. Any assistance would be greaty appreciated!

Just an update in case anybody had the same problem. Eventually i disconnected the 12Pin from the Mobo, gave it a few minutes with the PSU also disconnected. And it worked. Seems fine ever since.

Apologies If this ia short on information. Um having to use my phone.Recently my Pc was randomly rebooting. Its been a while since i gave It a cleaning, so i dusted It and the problem was gone.Reseated the ram, and the gpu no problems since.Today se had a Power outage, and now the Pc wont fully boot.ALL fans spins. All case lights turn. No beeps. Also no vídeo and the keyboard and mouse wont power.I haver a pretty good psu a seasonic that IS even more than my Pc requires. Its clean, and Its been working fine. I Sidney skimp on that when i put the Pc together.I took the psu out, cleaned It Just to bem site, plug everything back in. No change.Also i have surge protection on this Pc on the outlet especially to Prevent these surges. Other eletronics seem Fine.Pc is a bit old, 6 years now. Bit the componentes are solid and well kept.I Heard tbat sometimes after Power surges the eletrocity on the outlet may not be fully stable for a while which makes the Pc not Power UP properly Until It does... in which case Just waiting sometimes fixes the issue. Could this be It?Both my psu and gpu are the types where the fan only turns when under load. And even after letting the whole thing powered for Just about half an hour there ia no excessive heat noise or beeps.Im at a loss here. Any help would be great.

Just a quick Update in case this might be useful for someone else. I stumbled onto a GTX 1070 from a good seller for about the same price the 1060 was going for, the only difference is that it's the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1070 MINI ITX 8G and it was his last one (new on box) . But at that price, i don't think i will get a better deal any time soon. And considering my mobo has a LGA1150 Socket, the recommended i7 is not that huge of an upgrade over my current i5, so... yeah... had to bite the bullet on a new GPU now, but i'll probably be able to sell this GTX 780 at a decent price and cover some of the cost, and with a GTX 1070 at hand i might have been able to renew my PC for a couple more years.

I really appreciate the feedback, at least i know where to go if things really turn sour with my GPU

Here is the long and short of it. My pc has a GTX 780 that has been serving me quite fine for a few years. My whole pc is well protected, but recently a power surge gave me a big scare when the PC wouldn't turn on, until i removed, cleaned and re-sitted the GPU. It's not the first time my GPU has shown signs of small problems. Similar stuff to this has happen before, but it is very rare, but also, has happen mored than once... graphical glitches, power troubles... stuff like that. Also, recently i was doing a Live stream with some friends, using OBS, and i was recording my Stream via OBS at the same time. OBS was showing me a CPU load of 60% while streaming, playing a PC game and Recording the stream at the same time, so i thought everything was fine, until severa Video Artifacting started ocurring in the stream. Thing is, the feed was fine, my webcam was fine and the game was displaying fine on my screen. But for the people watching the stream, the feed of the game was a garbled mess of pixels. Evne when i stopped recording and just streamed it wouldn't get any better. So, im thinking my GPU is starting to "sunset". Due to the high prices of GPU's i was planning on buying a whole new pc around 2020 so i would just get something more modern and at perhaps a better overall price. Im running a i5 with 32GB of DDR3 Ram, the entire PC is from the 2013/2014 era. So, if my GPU goes bye bye, i will have to replace it and i see little value in seeking out something "just like it" instead of doing a minor upgrade. Im currently looking at the ASUS Dual 1060 GTX 6GB model. That is the top of my Budget for this. What i would like to know is if this is a sensible buy for my scenario or if im tossing away money and instead should holdon a bit longer and do a full system upgrade a few months down the line instead of replacing parts on a PC that i was already planning of replacing fully... Thanks for any input you guys might give me, i was really not planning on speding this money right now, so i would like to make the right choice...

Ok so quick update. I unplugged one of the monitors. Then i unplugged both 12v pin connectors from my psu to my mobo. I then reinserted the 12v plugs and turned the pc back on. It worked. There was an error message saying something to the effect that the bios had reverted back to its default settings and the overclocking had failed (my machine is not overclocked.) I checkes the bios. All seemsto be there. Got into windows. Pc is back to normal. Dunno if it was going back to 1 monitor that did it or unplugging the12v pins and putting them back on that did the trick... Now i'll try to reconnect the second monitor and just reboot the pc a couple of times... just to be sure. I woild still very much like to know if i should be concerned with my pc's health after this though....

Memory is brand ndw. 32gb hyperx memory. Usinf 1 stick at a time made no difference. Power supply is a seasonic gold plus 800w psu. Also seem to be fully in order but i dont have another psu . One thing im afraid is that i might be having a "bad power" situation where the eletricity coming from the wall is just not great and that is causing the weird issues... i would rather be that than my mobo friying on me right now

Sorry if there is a shortage of info right now . Im on my cellphone right now. Long story short... my PC wont boot up . While i was doing something else i noticed my PC had frozen. I turned it off and back on but got no vídeo. All fans run . No beeps. O tried changing monitors (all hdmi) . No change. Tried using different hdmi cables. No change. Then i removed the video card. Gave it a quick cleaning. No change.. Then i removed the video card and tried the mobo's hdmi. No change. I then powered the pc on and just left it running for 10 minutes to see if any beeps would come up or something else. After 5 minutes the pc powered down and then tried to power back up for a second. Failed. Started again. And has now been running for just about 15 minutes. Still no video. 5 minutes later same thing... Power down.tries to power up. Fails. Power up for real . No beeps. No blinking lights. No video. My pc has a gtx 780 and a msi z85 mobo. Im Stucked and scared. Dont know what to do but i really cant let my work pc die on me right now. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

is it worth it to use the Auto-OC option the MOBO bios offers me? i would imagine that this is a noob-friendly option that is not optimal but it's safe.

My Mobo is a Z87 - G45 MSI Gaming , so im still stuck with Haswell, and x89. Also worth mentioning i suppose, is that my current CPU is not overclocked. I could go that route too, but since i never tinkered with overclocking before and this is my working PC, i was not fully confident on that option instead of a straight up upgrade

Usually the sort of stuff i edit and render is around 10-15 minutes, sometimes 1080p, sometimes 720p either 30 or 60fps and there are usually 3-4 video layers, a few visual effects or overlapping videos and images, nothing too crazy... my usual rendering loop if between 45min to 1 hour per video, while a really rare heavy project will take 3 hours to render tops. But also cause i'm using settings that compress the file size without loosing quality. My main concern was to learn if upgrading to an i7 would have any significant impact on these times, cause if not, i'll just stay with my i5 and save up to a full new rig down the line

So, i'll explain this the best i can... here is the current situation of my pc. When i power up the tower, all fans start running, there is no warning beeps or lights, everything SEEMS fine, except... the pc doesn't actually boot. There is no BIOS, no video, nothing. Then, i power the tower off and immediately turn it back on again, and everything is fine. Like, perfectly fine. No hitchest, no issues, no freezes, pc can run 100% normally for multiple days with no issue. I already did a through cleaning of the PC case, changed RAM, booted up with just one monitor ( usually i have 2 ) and with no GPU, but it's always the exact same issue. My main concern here is that this is just a signal of another problem upcoming that i could prevent if i just learn what it is. But i have no clue at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My current pc has an i5 4670k . 32gb ram and a nvidia 1080 GPU i'm not looking to change my Mobo or the whole pc, but i do a fair amount of video rendering on this machine and i was considering going up to an i7. Thing is i'm not sure if the cost benefit is worth it at this point. Could really use suggestions on this. Is the upgrade worth at this point? WHat model would give me the best cost-benefit here?

In this particular case is a Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 7200rpm which i'll be replacing with another one of the same model. I have all these games installed at all times cause i work with them, so sometimes it's easier to just keep a game installed in the Drive instead of having to download it when i need some footage or something else from it. The drive has nothing else on it beside steam games, but there is often 300+ games installed on it at all times, so the consequence of that is that there is often a couple of games that update every day... and usually there is just about a 100Gb ''allowance'' of free space that i keep in the drive. I didn't find a HDD failure after 3 years of use anything too absurd, but i wanted to make sure... and of course, see if there is anything else i could be doing to assure the longevity of the drive.

Hi there! I had a 2TB mechanical HDD on my PC dedicated to nothing but steam games. It was my steam install disk and where i had all games and files from steam on. Recently that drive started to make audible noises and i had disk write failures onto it. This is just about after 3 years of usage. So, now im replacing the drive and trying to salvage over 1TB of files so i don't have to re-download everything again. And a question came to me... Is it a bad idea to have a dedicated drive just for Steam games like this? I ask cause i would imagine the download and update of games, plus playing them, would make the drive work quite a lot... and i started questioning if this is what caused the drive to fail, or if a 3 year old mechanical drive with regular use failing is nothing outside of normal...

Thanks! That website is the News side of the same website i provided, it's a good source too and it has a few more tidbits of info. Honestly i have to say it, i keep putting myself in check over this... like, i honestly don't want to be over confident since im no Networking expert and i keep thinking to myself ''Maybe there is actually some logic behind what this moron is saying and i just don't know about it'' but the more i read about it, and now with all the comments on this thread, the more i see that this is actually just pure ignorant BS being put forward cause it's cheaper to throttle the services and keep the costs high then it is to invest in Infrasctructure to keep up with the times...

I just want to add in another quote that came from another website, it's another piece from the same press conferece "É importante dizer que na energia elétrica existe consumo limitado, na água existe consumo limitado e isso vale também para a internet" Which translates to : "It's important to say that in Eletrical Energy there is limited usage, in Water consumption there is limitade consumption. This is also true to the internet" Again, these are the words of the President of the Regulatory Agency reponsible for Telecommunication services in Brazil.

I would love to be able to locate hard data on that, just to actually have a real comparison on how much data Online games actually consume

Hey there everyone! Right out of the gate, to give y'all context, this is coming as a follow up to another thread i did in another sub forum: Here is the Link to the news: http://jogos.uol.com.br/ultimas-noticias/2016/04/19/gente-que-joga-online-gasta-muita-internet-critica-presidente-da-anatel.htm?cmpid=tw-uol Here is my full translation of the news ( Im a portuguese Native speaker, i'll translate the text the best way possible to keep it to it's original context and give it a proper interpretation into english ) "The President of the National Telecomunications agency ( ANATEL ), Joao Rezende, spoke in a press conference regarding the potential extra charges for Wired broadband connections and criticize the users that play Online Games. "Some people love it, they play all the time and this wastes a large band volume" (Note from me: He actually meant ''Large Band Volume" ) Rezende said, affirming that these users harm those that use the less internet. ( note from me: It is actually phrased as ''use less Internet'' not ''Use the internet less" ) "It is evident that there must be some form of balance, if not, we will have the consumer that consumes less paying for those that are consuming more. It's this matter of Marketing, of the unlimited and the infinite which is a business practice that lead the user to be unaccostumed with it" Declared the president of Anatel. ( Context : What he means is that in his words and view, by Having the standard being Unlimited Internet Data caps for many years, users don't regulate themselves and use it too much ( with stuff like gaming ) thus overloading the pipelines which harm the casual and light-use users ) ANATEL's POSITION: Anatel has positioned itsel in favor of the decision of some of the Major telecomunnication operators to adopt a Data Cap system for Broadband wired internet connection. In these systems, the user that exceeds the Pre-determined values would have to pay extra or have it's internet speed reduced or even cut off entirely. For the Agency, this business model does not go against regulamentations. Even though it agrees with the operators, Anatel has forbidden the cutting of Internet Services and the Reduction of internet speeds and the Adittional charges for the next 90 Days. The Agency demands that all Operators (service Providers) must be able to clearly communicate to their users regarding their data package, how much it was used and how, before imposing any restrictions." So, i'm not deeply versed into the Tech side of Networking, but this reads like a huge pile of BS to me... and this is the ''Top Dog'' regarding internet regulation in Brazil... so you can imagine how things are around here.
