Oh, damn. I was on ethernet before, but I had to move out of my office room because of spacing conflicts and the requirements of other family members. It's a pretty unrealistic option now, too, and I don't think anyone in the house would exactly enjoy having to navigate around a 300 ft ethernet cable. There aren't Moca or ports anywhere near where I am, so the adapter was my only option from the get-go. Thanks for the insight, though. It's like the problem doesn't exist when I try to pinpoint it. Never goes away though. Oh well, guess I'll just have to return this. If it helps, here's my glasswire. Surprising. The network activity appears to be spiking, but I just installed it so perhaps its part of the setup? I'm still kind of lost here, any ideas?

Recently, I purchased this new wifi adapter due to the crappy reception in my room and the old $5 one from Walmart breaking. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I7QFR10/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I keep getting these random ridiculous ping spikes. I have a gigabit connection, and the router is a floor beneath me so there's obviously a very thick blockage between my computer and it. I have a gigabit connection and get around 200-300 mbps, not sure if that's even optimal but it's not really my problem considering I don't do much gaming. Whenever I join google meets or play games, everything is loading fine until I get these random lags and freezes every 30 seconds, almost as if they're timed. I tried the ping -n 500 google.com command to see for myself the latency I was getting: Part 1 Part 2 It pinged it around 500 times, so I'm not gonna show the full results, but you get the recurring point. For the most part, it's fine and I receive <10ms, but then I get these annoying spikes that cross 2000 ms. I've tried everything, and no other device has this issue. Even from upstairs, my iPhone 12 gets a good ≈400 mbps while connected to the same wifi network, so I don't think there's an issue with congestion or anything either. Back when I was downstairs in the router room, I used an ethernet connection and got 1k up and down. Can I say for certain that my adapter is faulty? I've seen good reviews and with it coming from ASUS I certainly didn't expect this. Perhaps a wi-fi extender would do the trick? Any help would be appreciated.

Ha - the 16th, Tuesday. I also assume AMD gave some higher priority shipping to me which give me more speed than you - I have no clue though as FedEx refuses to specify and only claims it'll arrive by tomorrow.

I share your pain. But as I was saying earlier - you seem to be experienced here - what do you think about the time it'd take solely for them to replace/repair the CPU - forget fedex and their bs.

Oh god - I got fedex . However, my ETA's still tomorrow so I'm hopeful, given that AMD also paid for the shipping. I know the shipping really is variable, so I'm not trying to demand answers for that - but in the factory - you got a guess as to how long it would take to fix the CPU, shipping aside for second?

Well - that's true, but I was just hoping that someone here could give me a minimum and maximum wait time. Not at all used to this lengthy process and I've been managing on a laptop that burns my fingers running bluestacks -

I'm located in VA, factorys in miami florida, whaddya think?

I kept it there for way too long lmao, just crashed my pc and my motherboard went bonkers, ended up rma'ing that only to find the cpu as the culprit.. been through hell and back

So, happened to be such an idiot that I fried my cpu with the voltage I set it at, a 2700X that i decided was a good idea to push to 1.45V. I still managed to thankfully get an RMA from amd, and my processor was shipped out. Should be arriving in their factory by the end of tomorrow. So assuming AMD has it starting at the end of the day, tomorrow, when should I expect it on my doorstep? I've heard answers as long as 3-4 weeks and as short as 3 days, smh...

RMA'd my board, got it back and I'm facing the safe issue. Safe to conclude I fried my CPU? Can't even RMA that because I overclocked, I can just pray they accept it.

Thank you. So, before sending my board in for an RMA is there any last-minute check I can do in hopes of a sign of life?

I had been monitoring the temps of the ryzen at all times, it never even crossed 45 idle and never went past 70 under load, It didn't match the graph you sent.

With all fans spinning properly and everything in the system being coordinated and lighting up can I not assume the CPU at the very least is working? Could the voltage have damaged the motherboard?

Already took the motherboard battery out and put it back in, shorted the jumpers. No luck. Safe to say I've learned my lesson about maximum voltage. Is there any way I can revert this high of a voltage?

I had it at 1.45V, which I read online was safe enough. I'm not exactly sure how to revert it since I can't even get into BIOS. As for the RAM, I'd even gotten it higher and stable at one point, I highly doubt that actually has a problem.

2700X 3070 Zotac Twin EDGE OC Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHZ (Oc'ed to 2933Mhz) ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING I was running my pc, both my 2700X and and RAM were overclocked, with the 2700X at 4.2GHz and the LPX at 2933Mhz. This OC had been stable for months, and I have a 360mm AIO so my cpu obviously wasn't overloaded. I was scrolling a chrome page, and my PC froze. I did the usual, unplugged everything and attempted to boot again, but now it won't POST and I get quick flash of a white light followed by a static orange light, then it constantly alternates with a red light, indicating a RAM issue, than a CPU issue? I swapped my friends RAM into my PC and my PC still got the same error, and my RAM worked in his PC without a problem. I again, really doubt my CPU conked out but I haven't tested that elsewhere or had it replaced. I've looked online and people with my issue have had defective motherboards upon new builds, but get this: I built my PC 3 years ago, this just happened while scrolling a chrome page. ASUS Customer Support wants me to RMA my mobo, but this really sucks as I don't want to believe it just BLEW like that in the middle of a normal session. Does anyone know another potential problem, or is the motherboard for sure gone?

Thanks, I posted this a while back, which are you planning on upgrading to, 3070 or 3080?

Yep, quite glad I didn't buy either now lmao

It's semi-modular.

No, it's an external hard drive that I keep my games on. I keep windows on a 128 GB m.2. That SATA cable just SAYS SATA. It isn't nearly long enough to plug into my PSU, and my psu doesnt even have a port for such a cable??

I have the red version of this case, and here is the link https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Carbide-SPEC-Omega-Mid-Tower-Tempered/dp/B077G34G9W/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=corsair%2Bcarbide%2Bspec%2Bomega&qid=1594740760&sr=8-15&th=1#customerReviews New PC up and running, and the included stock fan in the case glows red like it should. But the front panel LED is just grey and doesn't light up. I don't know about the node pro cables and all, I don't even know what those are so please forgive me. I see a cable called SATA power, which I don't even have plugged into anything right now (I don't use anything SATA related), and my drives are HDD and one m.2. Regardless, can someone help me understand why the fan is lighting up and not the LED panel?

The question is really bugging me. My GTX 1070 really seems to be EOL, and I'm hungry for a new card that can push beyond simple AAA games at 60 fps on high settings. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices: XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT Thicc ($380), and one of the many $500 used 1080 ti's out there on eBay. https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Triple-Dissipation-Graphics-RX-57XT83LD8/dp/B087J3KM2X/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=XFX%2B5700%2BXT&qid=1595274557&sr=8-2&th=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nearly-New-ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1080-TI-FREE-SHIPPING/203052485413?epid=13024353154&hash=item2f46df0b25:g:X8gAAOSwgnteXtPY (I've been particularly eyeing the Zotac 1080 ti) I'm aware the 1080 ti simply is the superior card, but clearly not by a big margin. The 5700 XT wins in plenty of titles, not particularly the ones I play though. I really am not one to wait for the next gen of NVIDIA and AMD gpu's, like I said I'm hungry for a new card. I have a 2700X and 32 GB of 2133 Mhz DDR4 RAM. Which of these would be the better choice? IMO it's the 5700 XT only because of it's ridiculously low price, but it's killing me to drop the idea of a 1080 ti so fast. Thoughts?

I've been particularly suspicious of my GPU's weak performance from the start. Let's start with my specs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Asus Turbo GTX 1070 Rosewill ATX 450 Watt PSU Asus B450F-Strix Motherboard Corsair LPX 32 GB 2400mhz NZXT Kraken M22 And if at all it helps, my monitor is the Sceptre C305B-200UN, running at 2560x1080 @ 200hz. This GPU was sketchy from the beginning. A brand new GTX 1070 from a trusted company, ASUS, for $380 seemed like a steal to me especially coming from amazon. In Fortnite, paired with the quite high-end 2700X, I can't get even close to my monitor's desired FPS, matching the 200hz refresh rate. No settings I play on can achieve that. I've looked online, and others using more expensive, powerful 1070's and they get significantly higher framerates. In competitive games, on all low settings, I get something around 100-120 fps, which I know is not good (When looking at the sky or ground, of course, I can get 200). For other typical 1070s, from what I've seen at least, 200 should not be a challenge at ALL on these settings. Another example is ACS, where on all max I NEVER go above 37 fps. Turning down to all low, I BARELY get 60. But circling back to Fortnite, I often get INSANE stuttering lag where for minutes straight the screen starts freezing up and out of NOWHERE I dive down and start seeing framerates in the '20s. I suspect my PSU is the cause even today, as 450 watts was quite a stupid buy, and I'm surprised my system even boots and functions well idly. But, is the PSU behind all the tearing and freezing? Going back to the start, please take a look at my latest UserBenchMark run: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/29449591 And here is my GPU: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Auto-Extreme-Graphics-Turbo-GTX1070-8G/dp/B01IPVTHL8/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=turbo+gtx+1070&qid=1592674696&sr=8-1 (Don't ask why it's $800, I got it for around $400) Looking back at my first run 9 months ago when I first built my computer, the GPU was performing in the middle of its kind (42nd percentile), but the framerates weren't noticeably better at all. Now, you can see it's on the 20th percentile, which is WAY below what you would expect of a typical GPU. I know for a fact my CPU is too good to bottleneck it, if anything the GPU is the bottleneck. Yet, the benches in UserBenchMark showed the GPU performed well on the FPS tests (Lighting, Reflection, Parallax, etc.). But comparing to UserBench's average, my GPU is only marginally slower than the overall rating given, at 73.9%. I can't say for a fact I'm underperforming, but I am pretty confident I am. My GPU drivers are up to date, according to both Windows 10 and GeForce Experience, and my temps are perfectly fine with them being in the low 50s idle, and when playing the heavier titles no more than 62° C. I do not overclock at all, running at the stock 1683 MHz. So now that leaves me with the question being what to do. I've anyway been thinking of a GPU upgrade lately, like a used 1080 ti. But I don't want to do that, with the hopes of "fixing" my current one. So any suggestions? A PSU upgrade, perhaps? And what is causing the gradual degeneration of my GPU, with a 22 percentile decrease over the course of 9 months? Thank you!
