So in my current situation I think our family has a router made from 2014, slowest, cheapest everything. It was given to us when we upgraded to the almighty NBN here in Australia. We're on the Fixed Wireless version. In perfect conditions I can get a blistering 5 megabytes/s and have a typical speedtest ping of 30-45 throughout the day To keep it short, I play online games quite frequently, and when I'm the only person at home my ping is a bliss 42ms When we are all home (4 of us) if even 1 person starts to use the internet for lets say YouTube my ping will go as high as 80ms+ It feels like maybe our router is prioritising everything else over online gaming so I get crazy variations in ping when others use it for whatever it be. If buying a new router/modem, (idk the difference), is necessary to help my cause with game ping issues, I have a budget of lets say A$400. PLEASE NOTE: We HAVE to have our home phone connected to the router/modem at all times and it has to be compatible with NBN thingo on the wall

I did a google search on the spec number that's like 30 characters long. cmw16gx4m2z3600c18 On the corsair website that showed up it has tested latency of 18 22 22 42 just like it is on my PC, X570 compatable It is the exact same numbers and letters also on the PCCG website but they show 18 19 19 39. lol Here's a quote on the description of the kit from PC Case Gear's website "Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz DDR4, 18-19-19-39, 1.35v, XMP 2.0."

So I have this kit of 16GB Corsair Vegeance RGB PRO memory CL18 3600MHz. It is rated on the website PCCG as XMP 2.0 [18 19 19 39] at 1.35V I am running it on a x570 Taichi and a 3700X. Dual channel The auto overclock thingy whatever AMD calls it has it running at 3600MHz 18-22-22-42 with a bank cycle time of 83. As recorded by CPU-Z @1.35V in BIOS When I am in the BIOS, should or can I manually change the clock timings to the rated OC speeds and be happy?

Australia, yes we are on NBN, yes we are using the default router they gave us years ago, we are on the shittiest form on NBN called fixed wireless. In perfect conditions, home alone, middle of the day, no wind, everyone at work in town, I will get our full speed which is a stonking 5 megabytes per second, so around 40 megabit. When no one is home I get sweet 50ms ping in all games, no variation. When my family is home (there are 4 of us) my ping may go to 70ms'ish As soon as someone starts to watch Netflix or Disney+ (4k) I get massive and very frequent ping spikes of 400ms+ making any online game impossible to play or enjoy. Same goes for YouTube videos but like 1440p60 might be just like 150ping I have no FHAKING clue what router/modem wtf is the difference to buy BECAUSE WE WANT THE HOME PHONE HOOKED UP TO THE STUPID THING and I have no clue what the plug is called, it just has a phone symbol and googling it only making things even more confusing. Everyone has a phone. we have 2 PC's, 1 WiFi and 1 Ethernet, iPad, we all have laptops but I never use mine. ps4, xbox one, 360, switch, smart TV. Note not everything is always on at the same time. If I should buy a more powerful router/modem who cares which it is, what should it be? It NEEDS to be able to hook up to house phone and NBN box on wall.

So i'm sitting here with a GTX 1080, nice, great card for running 1080p 144Hz ULTRA detail. I'm planning on making the jump to 1440p 144hz, I don't have the monitor yet... Should I upgrade now? (There's currently a sale for a 2070S marked down from A$900 to A$700) Orrrrrrr, wait to see what RTX 3000 brings us, slashed 2080 / 2080 TI prices? Yes I want to play games with RTX on if possible, no I'm not a hardcore ****ing making tournament money off gaming at 360Hz, I play it for fun

First off, I have a H100i Pro 240mm as intake on the side panel of my O11 air. I am NOT using stock thermal paste, I am using thermal grizzly Kryonaut, spread on the CPU using the applicator head. Ambient is mid 20s (degrees Celsius) The coolant temps are about 34degC going by Corsair iCUE at the time of the screenshot. The temps shown here are basically idle I have all stock CPU settings (Auto) Which one should I trust? I assume they might be using different temperature sensors but which one is more to the "true" temperature of my CPU Also, MSI AB and RM show different idle core clocks, RM shows under 1GHz while MSI AB doesn't go below 2.5GHz, so confusing.

So to put this as short as possible; I am wondering how to make the built-in RGB on the motherboard turn off completely when I shut down my PC At the moment when I shut down my PC all the other components such as cooler, RAM and GPU all turn off their RGB except for the mobo, which is a little annoying as my PC is in my bedroom I couldn't find a setting in BIOS for it, CPUZ states that my BIOS version is "P2.00 - AMD AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.3". Should I update bios? Cause that jazz is scary stuff, even if my mobo has a flashback button.

Okay, but you have a full custom loop, I'm just running stock box cooler which is the wraith prism. Also doesn't TR have multiple dies under the MASSIVE heat spreader, while consumer Ryzen chips have 1 single little concentrated heat source?

Here's the setup. O11 air with 8 fans installed (2 side 2 front 2 bottom 2 top all 120mm), 3700X stock prism cooler with stock paste on an x570 Taichi My room is at a reasonable temperature, 22C to 25C When idle my CPU is around 50C to 60C, it's temp curve recorded by MSI AB is in small spikes, the line is never really flat, just spikes My CPU has reached up to 4.4GHz boost on its own (assuming it's a quick single core spike) as well as quick voltage spikes up to 1.5V, recorded in HWMonitor While playing a pretty modern game, CoD MW, my CPU sits around 70C up to as much as 86C and the fan ramps up hard. When doing a benchmark such as Time Spy normal, during the CPU test my 3700X reached a toasty 91C and assuming it thermal throttled because the clocks dropped and it didn't go any hotter. Is this a BIOS issue? thermal paste issue? cooler mount issue? Or do I just need to go buy a 240 AIO? FYI, Ryzen Master refuses to install correctly, I keep getting an error message after every clean install of it

UPDATE: Played a round or 2 of CoD MW and max temp got to 86C stock prism cooler, stock paste, no OC It seems to climb in temps when it spikes to 4.2 or 4.3GHz when opening apps like chrome or something and the fan ramps up hard (based off sound)

So I finished my first personal PC today YAY It has a 3700X and has an idle on desktop of 45ish degrees C and I have seen it pull as much as 1.5V at all stock settings. (My room is a little warm btw it's summer in Australia rn) Is this normal and will the stock prism cooler be sufficient for gaming? I don't do any professional work atm

Add that extra $15 to your cooler budget tho haha

So,I just bought a Ryzen 3700X from PCCG not even a week ago at this point. Today the 3800X went on sale for cheaper, just out of nowhere, no special occasion, nothing. When I bought CoD MW on PC it went on sale a week later. A few years ago, I bought a GTX 1060, which a month later the RTX series was released, which meant slashed prices on GTX cards to get them off shelves. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS????? WHY ME???

While I could go with x570 literally in AUS the cheapest dirt tier x570 is about $245 while the most expensive and feature rich B450 (in my case the gaming pro carbon B450) is $225.

Thank you and all other comments just like this, I know it might not be PCMR but I can get the retail store to flash bios for me when ordering said motherboard so I understand that haha.
