It's been this way for at least 2 months now, I gave the problem the benefit of the doubt for a bit and was making due with a VPN solution but lately the VPN has been getting really congested and not working for me. Not sure if it's been going on for longer than that, I mostly play Apex Legends now and in past versions of the game there were no network indicators so I very likely just thought other players were having issues or the game was running poorly. Now that there are network indicators I can see I have constant loss and the players hitching/freezing and general laggy feeling I get is from that. I have at least 10 devices connected to the network but only 6 are active at most doing light work like web browsing. After installing fresh hardware and re-configuring my network I tried my connection with only my PC active and the problem was still there. Yeah that's what I was reading but unfortunately there are only 2 ISPs available in my area and the other one was a mess that caused the switch to Frontier. It's just frustrating when they don't tell you anything even if it's out of their control

Yeah I imagine they're just doing things to placate me but the problem is none of their solutions have actually helped. The problems usually start at hop 4, in this case level3 is giving me some loss but I was reading a bit online and that seems like it has to do with icmp requests. Included a screenshot of WinMTR I've already had it replaced and the issue persists.

around 10-20% over several hops, they've replaced the ONT on the side of my house, remote reset my lines multiple times (my understanding is they also plugged me into a different line) and replaced the router. Using a VPN is my only solution right now but that's only when it wants to cooperate

Hey all been having an issue with packet loss in a bunch of games for the past couple of weeks and am not really sure what I can do to fix the problems. I've contacted my provider 6 times and none of their proposed solutions or troubleshooting methods have helped. Recently had a tech come to my house and replace the router and ONT on the side of the house and I'm still having problems. I believe my issue stems from poor routing as the only temporary fix I have is using a VPN but even then I'm at the mercy of their service. At this point I'm just wondering if there was anything I could do outside of switching providers.The entire process with them has been incredibly vague and if it was entirely out of their control I would understand but all they do is give me the run around. Any suggestions?

everything looks good on that front

working on these right now, but I have noticed one of the fans is actually running at a lower RPM than the other, still no control over the fans themselves but if I had to guess why it was spinning as fast it's probably because the one fan is trying to cool for two. Working on a warranty claim too cause I feel like it might be that time

GIGABYTE Z370P D3 i7-8700K Zotac GTX 970 16GB DDR4 Ram

doing this has no effect, I have absolutely no control over the fan speed at this point and any way I try to change it doesn't do anything.

not really sure what that would entail but I guess it's worth looking into, thanks for the suggestion

I recently upgraded my motherboard and cpu and for whatever reason my GPU fans have been acting up. They'll randomly spin up to 100% and no fan controller has any effect on how fast they run. The fans have been consistently running but have never ran as loud/fast as they are now since the upgrade. Tried re-seating it uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but nothing is working. Any ideas? Edit: Im actually just now noticing some small clicking noises that stop when i touch my fans so there's that

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard I stream and do some video editing, but the upgrade would mostly be so I can stream without it affecting the game's performance. added PCPP list

I have a computer with an LGA 1155 motherboard and a i5-3350p. I was recently looking at upgrading to a 3770k off of eBay for about 180 USD, but I'm not sure if I should spend the extra right now and upgrade my motherboard as well or if just upgrading the CPU will be enough. What do you guys think Edit for PCPP of my current build, not interested in overclocking at any point https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pbj6qk

So I've had a Xonar DG 5.1 soundcard for a little while now and it's been working fine. Last night I went to bed and everything was good but I woke up to this loud static in my left ear cup on my 558s. I tried switching what mode it was on (headphone/2 speaker etc.) and nothing helped. After reinstalling the drivers my problem went away but only if I use the 2 speaker option in the Audio Center, if I tried to use the headphone mode like I always have the buzzing comes back. Headphones are good on other devices and I have no idea what the issue is could use some help, thanks in advance

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep that in mind while I'm looking through reviews

Thanks a lot I'll be sure to start looking around for some deals. She isn't too big on tablets, she's pretty set on only using tablets to read and needs an option to connect peripherals/monitor for work related things. Thanks for the suggestion

I'm looking to get a 2 in 1 laptop for my mom this Christmas but I'm pretty out of date with current tech and could use a little help. Looking for something that works really well doing everyday office tasks (Microsoft Suite, Photoshop, etc.) , has decent storage capacity, and an SD card slot (she loves to take photos and scrapbook.) My budget is around $500 I'm flexible and willing to take suggestions though. Thanks for the help in advance

I downloaded Swiftkey but I wish I knew about it earlier for my previous phone, but on the M8 I haven't seen too much of a difference, just the change in the skins. I'll be checking out that video and I love all of the suggestions I've gotten so far, you guys are the best.

As far as I've seen the phone does a pretty good job at giving me information concerning battery usage, but that still sounds like a good idea as a "just in case" type a thing.

I haven't heard of Doge2048 but I hope it's as great as it sounds, I'm installing Swiftkey right now

Thanks! Mind deleting this post or potentially moving it if possible? Sorry about that.

First post sorry if it's in the wrong section..I've been lurking for a little while haha. Anyway, I just got an HTC One M8 and I'm loving the phone so far (upgraded from a Wildfire S) and I was wondering what you guys recommend in terms of apps and need to know things about the device. I'm still looking through it but any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
