  1. unfortunately, my laptop is a MacBook. And apple decided to leave out the ethernet port on my line of laptops. My PC has a PCI-E wifi card, and the wifi card was bought a cheap replacement until i get my powerline adaptors. However, it appears to be a lot faster than the powerline adaptors. Upon further inspection of the powerline adaptors, it seems that the adaptors are actually rated at 500Mbs, so this confuses me more. I am confident that the problem is just in the shoddy wiring of the house. @Adraen
  2. @Adraen @Oshino Shinobu @tt2468 Ok, since we have estabalished that what I am trying to achieve is impossible/unreccommended, how about I use both connections? Say, for google chrome, steam, and other apps that usually have downloads and surfing use wifi, as it is the 20mbs faster than the ethernet connection, and games, like CSGO, Payday, ect use the ethernet connection for stability? Is that possible?
  3. Hi, thanks for the reply. I actually don't know what is wrong with the performance. Testing with my laptop, my laptop gets well above 50Mbs in my room, but my PC is lacking behind very much. It is very sad to see that my lightweight laptop gets a lot more speed than the PC that i use to keep al my games on. The powerline adaptor is relatively new, only a couple of years old i would say, and is rated at 100Mbs, so I am not sure what is limiting the connection. It could be very bad internet, I'm not sure
  4. Hi guys. I searched high and low on the forums (well, really i just searched the topic, lol) and couldn't really find anything to do with this. So I have a gaming PC in my room, and as my room is on the third floor of my house, my connection to my router isn't very great. My house is pretty old, and I don't have wall wired ethernet. So my options right now are powerline and wifi. I am currently using a powerline connection to reach my router. Here's my problem. I'm only getting speeds of 29Mbs on my powerline connection, and I am getting speeds of 32Mbs on my wifi connection from my PC (it has both, I installed a PCI wifi adapter) However, my internet connection is rated at 65Mbs. Therefore, you can see that I am losing about 40Mbs because I can't get a good connection to my router. When I use my laptop while I am near the router, speeds boost up to 65, sometimes even 70Mbs. So I know it is the connection between my PC and the router that is bottlenecking. I was hoping if there is someway to combine the two connections, the increase the grand total connection speed to approx 60Mbs. I'm still losing about 5Mbs, but it's nowhere near the speed of just a single connection. I have tried just using both connections at the same time, but this does not appear to work, as the PC only uses one connection I have absolutely no idea how to do this, so I will be grateful if someone can help me out. N.B I am currently using the powerline connection, because it is a lot more stable than the wifi connection, even though the wifi is a little faster. I get better pings and less lag when playing games on the ethernet, as well as no rubberbanding, which i get on the wifi connection
  5. @nickmlg Thanks for the clarification I understand completely. That's the reason why I asked, I prefer NOT to turn up to the office, but rather ask here and find out if i am allowed to, ect. But thank you anyways, still kinda happy was able to speak to one of my fav guys from ChannelSuperFun
  6. Nah, i haven't tried it, I use an AIO for my cooling. Just got my pc, and don't really wanna try anything risky. But I don't see why there can't be commercial Bong cooling solutions
  7. Ahhh shoot, sorry man, it was a typo. meant the 6700k
  8. Ahahah, ill be happy to buy a few pounds of em
  9. Yes! I'll write them a letter, and I'll be like also, I'll bring pizza! xD. The only thing is, that I live in London, UK, and I'll be going to Canada in like a few months, specifically vancover. That's why I was wondering. So hand delivering will kinda be a problem.
  10. @mohi95 Yea, I second that idea. That build actually will look nice, but if you had a decent case to actually house it. I assume you used an old case from an old PC? Coz that's what it looks like. There is not cable management there, but that's to be expected as there's no cable management holes in the case, and you did say in your post. I suggest you get a better case. Apart from that, enjoy your PC!
  11. I'm new to the forums, how exactly do I do that? sorry!
  12. Ahahah, true, thats a nice idea
