Realinity

It would greatly help if more people ran in to similar situations. I have looked around but no complaints at this level of usage. I can submit a request if needed but it will just be another complaint against the monopoly that is Canadian ISP's. Guess it wouldnt hurt to go that route.

Would a complaint actually gain any traction from what I've gathered? Is more data required to assist in any investigation?

Video streaming can barely buffer at 480p Speed tests are TCP so with those frequent connections its hard to tell. Game latency is fine, loading times on servers are slower than usual.

My options are Rogers - Cable Bell - DSL.... All other providrs of cable internet are using Rogers lines... Not to mention, not very insightful to my inquiry above...

So I past 2TB in download this month in usage at home. I'm not one to throw around thottling so I figured i'd reach out to a forum and see if anyone else has experiences what I have. Since I pased 1.5TB in download, my internet all of a suddent took a dump. Going to 700-900Mb/s down to 15Mb/s. Behavior: Speedtest.net Fast.com both will show a spike up to 120Mb/s but eventually falls back down to 15-30Mb/s If i see any speeds above 100Mb/s it dosent last long. Although the line shows an average over the time of the test, you can see when it spikes and eventually falls back down. Attempted speed test to various servers... Troubleshooting steps: Removed AP / switch reset ISP gateway changed ethernet cable on hardwires pc ran Wireshark to see if anything abnormal was occuring... some ARP calls but not enough to cause a storm... updated drivers updated bios put in NIC 10Gb/s Intel clean install windows replaced Rogers gateway... only had refurbished ones in stock... turned off all network devices, changes SSID's, removed IP reservations even tested just wifi from clean reset of gatway wifi removed coax splitter for cable box I'm not sure what else to do to test this and diagnose my issue. I'm open to any ideas. Although rogers dosent "throttle" since its "ilegal" .... whos to say they dont anyways, how do you prove it? Has anyone ran in to similar issues with Rogers after "above average" usage? To add... no issues on the line after calling rogers, no packet loss, no noise... they are sending a tech but magically the only time they can send a tech is the day of my usage reset...

I'll be getting 1080 TI's... 1060 was a old version of the build All depends when nvidia comes out with their new cards i though... i hope its soon

at most 3 but i believe the system would run just fine as one machine using windows storage spaces...that was my original plan, with the i7-8700K. No?

Overkill for possible SLI down the road The drives are going to be in raid and is for local media / plex server I am considering turning this in to an unraid build (might go i9 for more cores) PC / NAS / plex NAS on its own puts the project a tad past budget

*2 When the M.2_1 socket is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled. *3 When the M.2_2 socket is operating in PCIEX4 mode, SATA port 5. 6 will be disabled. So if M.2_2 is in PCIe mode 5,6 are disabled... makes sense What is disabled when M.2_1 is running in PCIe mode?

Suggestions of a board with similar performance that would better meet the 4 3.5" drives and 2 M.2 NVME drives?

When a motherboard shows the following On the Maximus X Hero board... If I wanted to put 4 10TB IronWolf Drives and 1 M.2 to start... Would it not be possible to use the 4 drives and 2x M.2 down the road? Is it possible to run both M.2 in SATA mode? and would that support 2 NVME M.2 drives?

Could possibly be a corrupt local profile, since it happens every time you reboot....Maybe try creating another local account and see if the same thing happens... if it does the next few things i would look at are, installation location not connecting on reboot (if you install those apps on a network drive or external drive, it may not be connecting right when you log in...)

Is your computer managed by an admin? (work laptop / school laptop) Could possibly be GPO updating / correcting for what should or shouldn't be there....

Good day team, I am currently looking in to building a new rig that will allow me to get rid of my laptop, nas, media server and combine it in to one redundant rig. Each machine I have now is sub par but gets the job done.... I was looking in to the following I was thinking of going with a raid 1 set up or using windows storage spaces for the NAS portion of the build Things I'm curious of others opinions on are possibly the case and mobo.... I did go with a mobo and case that would accommodate for more drives down the road... I am aware this mobo will disable 1 SATA port when using the m.2 I appreciate any build suggestions that would either help for expansion down the road or would provide better performance. Thanks team
