I think I might have fixed the problem. I managed to get the other router working but it suffered from the same high ping issue. Since I now have 2 I decided plug one in, play until my ping went up, then unplug it and check what components on the PCB got the hottest (though the problem could have been caused by overheating since the router once got hot enough to soften and warp its plastic housing). There was one component in particular (Broadcom BCM63281KFBG) which was excessively hot. It happened to be the right size to fit a spare heatsink I had lying around which I then attached to the component with some rubber bands and thermal paste. I haven't had any problems with my ping since I made this mod about 5 hours ago (ping used to get to unplayable levels in 10 min). This might be coincidence and the problem could have been something else but the results so far look promising.

Motherboard comparison confusion

As long as you buy from a reputable brand (ASUS, MSI, Asrock, EVGA) it should be fine. If you are buying from a decent place they should even sell any "bad" boards. Just stick with the big brands. -
Color it in with a red sharpie?

Motherboard comparison confusion
GinjaNinja804 replied to Bladactania's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Those 3 motherboards are all very similar in terms of features so it shouldn't really matter which one you decide to go with. One of the reasons some motherboards can be more expensive than other despite having similar specs, is that most brands have a "gaming" or "enthusiast" line of boards. It is sometimes beneficial to go for the more expensive ones if you need the extra features it provides, but otherwise there isn't much benefit. Edit: Forgot to add that sometimes the higher tier boards can have a better build quality, but as long as you buy from a reputable brand you shouldn't run into any problems with that. -
Sorry, I got a bit confused before. I am on ADSL.

Tried the second modem, unfortunately it didn't even power on.

The lenovo monitors support DVI but I will need to buy a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Just found another TG582n sitting in the shed, apparently there were problems with it so it was thrown out. I will plug that in and see if it makes a difference (if it even works)

don't have a local exchange, most are within 200km

I am 150km from nearest exchange but not sure how to check if I am on DSL

Need help with Telstra internet. I am using the stock TG582n modem/router supplied by Telstra and am wired directly with ethernet cable. Starting a few days ago my ping in CS:GO has been fluctuating between 100 and up to 800, when i wait a while and sometimes restart the router it can drop back to 30-50 but after a few minutes becomes unplayable again. My ping constantly stayed around 30-50 before but now everything become unplayable after a while. The router was very hot so I put a fan on it to cool it down (running 24/7), this has stopped it from overheating but hasn't helped ping much. When the ping is high in game google chrome also takes ages to load so it isn't a problem with the game's servers. Where I live the internet isn't great but it has never been this bad. Other PCs on my network also suffer the same problem and the ping fluctuates simultaneously on all PCs. My friends who use the same internet with a different modem don't have this problem so I am assuming it is a problem with the modem. I would really appreciate any help as I have been trying to find a solution for days. If you need any further information just ask.

Need help with multi monitor setup. ATM I am using a crappy dell 1366x768 monitor with a salvaged lenovo 1280x1024 as secondary. I have to dell plugged into my graphics card with vga through a dvi to vga adapter. The lenovo one is plugged in through vga with a displayport to vga adapter. I have an identical lenovo monitor lying around and I want to upgrade the dell monitor to a AOC I2260SWD IPS monitor I found on PC Case Gear for $140 AU. I am planning to have the AOC monitor as my main and the lenovo monitors either side. I could run the AOC with dvi, one lenovo with a DP to vga adapter, and the other lenovo with a HDMI to vga adapter. I want to have them in extended desktop mode and hopefully use AMD eyefinity in games. I have all of the cables and adapters but I want to check if it will work before buying the monitor.

My favourite would have to be the Kuhler 1250 because it performs great and is way better than what I have at the moment. NEED MORE COOLING
