Well, CPU usage is around 40% when gaming. The main thing is, is that while plugged in from 0-100% CPU usage while both being idle and artificially creating 100% load with stress tests the turbo boost is active and stays at 2.9 ghz. The exact time I start the game, the processor jumps to 1.4 ghz. Though, I do agree that the integrated graphics aren't being tested enough in this type of test, it's odd to just see older HD graphics not have any issue with the games I'm playing when it comes down to GPU usage.

So additional information now that I've tested a few things out. I retested with a stress test that essentially my processors speed is 1.4 ghz and turbos up to 2.9 ghz, not vise-versa. However, with this stress test the processor stays boosted at 2.9 ghz no matter what thermal output, which is still in safe parameters for 100% load. The thing is, is that whenever I try to play any game, the turbo boost just turns off and goes back to 1.4 ghz, no matter what load the processor is, it's as if just turning the game on turns off turbo boost. I don't expect to play high end games obviously with HD 5000 graphics but the games I tested was Minecraft and Runescape, both Java games. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Yeah, I may end up having to try better cooling in the end and see how that goes, just seems really unlikely I'll get under 50C no matter how cool I can get the CPU when gaming. Not entirely sure what happens after I try disabling the processor driver. The main thing is I don't get a disable function when I right click in Device Manager for the list on Processors, so I can only uninstall.

Yeah, already set everything in power options to 100% on plugged in, maximum and minimum for processor management. I updated BIOS hoping that it would magically give me more settings in the BIOS but to no avail.

I own an HP Elitebook 820 G1 equipped with an i5-4350u. This laptop is fairly efficient in trying to save as much power as possible. I tested the laptop temperatures at 100% load with Prime95 and were getting around ~68C, which I thought was fine. However, the processor would start to throttle at 50C, setting it to around 1.4 ghz. Idle temperatures are essentially around ~43C, so when I play a game and it uses around 50% cpu it gets to around 50C and sets it from 2.9 ghz to 1.4 ghz and this is enough to see performance tank. I've been trying to figure out if there are ways to get around Intel Speedstep but can't find any options or third party programs that can stop it from clocking the processor down. Is this just how it's going to be with this laptop? I was planning on replacing the thermal compound so I can just try to see if I can get the temperatures below 50C at 50% load but that seems pretty difficult and a long process of opening up this laptop. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

For almost 7000 sq feet, it'd be difficult depending on factors such as medians and material. For that price, maybe the ac1900 nighthawk or titan from amped wireless. But I doubt even that'd do the job well enough depending on what you're doing in that area. You might need to set up some access points.

Internet traffic, sorry for not clarifying.

Oh wow, that is impressive. I've never had good success with the WN721N. I've used the TL-WN4800 and that was pretty good but generally I'm just directly connected. It just depends on orientation and such but theoretically the PCIe should have better throughput.

Oh yes, windows could be an issue. Also, network traffic on wired connection is almost non-existent, only used by me, however, when I do look through the network analyzer area of my router, it does convey a very low number during those times, so it just doesn't seem like it's getting any bandwidth at all. Though the other wired connections in the house also have the same issue at around those same times. I'll give windows a shot and see what happens.

Yes, there are a few ways you could go by making yourself wireless. Such as what you picked, with a usb wifi adapter. You could use a PCIe wifi adapter, which is the other choice. Both work well depending on throughput of the device used but generally the PCIe have better throughput at longer distances, considering the range of antennas used by the PCIe ones. The PCIe ones can also utilize spatial multiplexing so when it comes to throughput with better routers, it'll be able to take advantage of MIMO capabilities of routers. It just really depends on your networking setup and how you're going to use it.

So, over the past month or so, I've been experiencing drops in connectivity only at certain times of the day on my desktop computer. It only occurs from 6pm-11 or 12pm. I assumed the vrad box was being overloaded and just gave up on looking for a solution. However, I decided to get on my laptop one day to do some youtube watching at those times and noticed that I'm getting no connection issues, able to watch videos at 720p-1080p with no hiccups. So I went to my desktop and tried it because i thought maybe it was fixed but still, not even watchable at 144p. Just buffers for a minute at 144p, plays for 3 seconds, buffers again. Anyone know why that would happen? I tried to rule-out hardware and networking equipment but it works all the time besides those specific times. Thanks

Very compelling with the Austin's Nipple verifying it, I may as well stick with the Tech21 one but if anyone has experienced a joy like no other with the Phantom Glass one as well, it may be something I'd take a chance for but until then, I suppose the Tech21 is fine.

So, I'm sending my phone in as a manufacture defect and since I won't be able to reuse my old screen protector (Tech21), I'm either thinking about buying that one again since it's a fantastic screen protector, in my opinion, or should I go ahead and trust Phantom Glass? Linus has some pretty great sentiment but I want to hear your guys opinions on it and if you have one. I have a Galaxy Note 4. I also noticed that the Phantom Glass protector is .2mm while the Tech21 is 0.3mm, not too sure if that extra layer of whatever they class their bulletshield is better or not with just 0.1mm thinkness more with polycarbonate is worth it. Thanks

I've been getting a random computer that shows up on my network, under my computer, under network. It is an HP Envy 17, for what I've been assuming the name shows up as. No one in my family owns an HP Envy. I've been exploring different ways to try to block it but to no avail. I'm using the ATT router, I believe the NVG589. Thanks

I had recently updated to Lollipop on my Note 4 and every time I get an email on the default email app, I try to open it and it seems to try to download the information but fails and leaves a blank white screen for me. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
