should also mention we tested Ethernet, it is also slow.

I've just helped my friend build his first PC. The build was a success, everything benchmarks perfectly, however the WiFi is having serious issues. The first time we booted the internet connected just fine (no tests were done, but it seemed slow) and we downloaded the drivers and BIOS updates to get everything to the latest version. Once that was done we noticed how slow the internet was and did a speed test that came back 0.7mb down and 3.5 mb up. It's supposed to be 60 down and around 5 up and his phone tested pretty close to this. Also, when the PC is connected it makes other devices test slow so we're seeing >1 download speeds on the phone and on a laptop. Turn off the PC, and speeds go right back up. So, here's what we've done so far. We uninstalled/re-installed the network driver, no improvement. We updated Windows (slowly) and he tells me for a while it seemed to be fine. Then he see's a new update for windows (I'm assuming the latest update) and after that his speeds were slow. This is where we are, debating wiping the drives and fresh installing windows. specs Ryzen 7 1700x Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000mhz MSI Gaming X RX580 8G 240gb SSD 1TB HDD Corsair RM550x

So I've just upgraded my power supply from a cheap 400w to a SuperNova 550 G3. When I boot up my PC now, the first 3 or so attempts trip something in the system. I think it's something like over-current or maybe a short curcuit (?) I'm not sure what the term is. There is an audible click when it trips, and I think I've hear before that this could just be as simple as a bad connection on one of the power supply cables. My hope is that I didn't short something on the motherboard when I was installing. I didn't do a LOT to protect myself from static, but I did plug in the power supply to the wall with the switch turned off and touched metal on it every 30 min or so. The system does boot into windows after a few tries, and CAM shows the CPU running at 1.55 Ghz when i'm doing simple stuff like web browsing, but boosting to 3.7 like it should when I game. Never used to see it at 1.55 before this.

I've just recently upgraded my power supply from a very cheap, non 80+ EVGA 400w to an EVGA SuperNova 550 G3. Before the upgrade I was running 3.8 Ghz at 1.275 V with no issues at all. Since the upgrade, my CPU has been throttling down to 1.55 Ghz and can't even seem to maintain stock clock speeds. I know that this "bug" can happen when trying to overclock, and I don't know the exact cause of it, but my theory right now has something to do with the CPU power connector. On the old power supply there was a solid 8-pin connector, and with this new one there is a 4+4 (which was put on backwards btw -_-) I tried going into the BIOS and changing everything back to stock. Auto clock speed, auto voltage. I then opened up Ryzen Master and watched it for a while, the voltage was jumping around from 1.2 to 1.35, which is scary. Then it would just throttle and revert to the 1.55ghz at like 0.8 volts. Side note- right after I turned the PC on for the first time, I ran a Cinebench at 3.8 Ghz and got a matching score. Somehow it was able to do that fine. I can't tell if the CPU is not getting enough power, or if the voltage is all messed up. Maybe I have a bad cable? If anyone has experience with this please help.
