Can a overclock affect your internet?

[funkmetal]

So I was messing around with some overclocks on my 4930k and I got it to 4.3Ghz which was stable after a few runs of Intel Burn in Test. I go to sleep for the night and when I get up my internet is set to using my Wifi Card instead of my Powerline Networking Box. So I found out that the box that was in the room with my router was "off" so I unplug it and everything was fine for about 10ish hours till the same thing happened. So I was thinking faulty Powerline Networking Box, so I head to my local Fry's. I get a new AV500 Kit and go home and install it. Now my Comcast 50Mbs Down/ 10Mbs Up speed on the old box is cut to 20-25Mbs Down and 5-10Mbs Up. Is it that Comcast is throttling me? Or is this a faulty box or could it be that my Overclock is affecting my Networking devices?

I don't see how it could.

I wouldn't think an overclock would affect your internet. I don't see how it could, really.

Well, then something else is going on? Is it possible that Comcast is throttling me? I was checking my other decvces and they seem to be getting the same on Wifi N and AC on my Linksys WRT1900AC router?

facepalm.......

Come on guys, don't just laugh at me? I have tried 3 different boxes and all 3 have had the same speeds. I came on here to ask for help, not to get ridiculed.  <_<

No, there is literally no way an overclock can change internet. Go yell at Comcast along with everyone else.

And go watch Tek Syndicate on youtube, they do an excellent job of explaining what is going on and why it is happening.

I will know you have understood when you have grabbed a pitch fork and are ready to teardown Comcast from the inside out.

I may live in Canada, but I think America internet provider's are jerks.

There is no way your machine will affect your internet connection (aka from the ISP to your router). However, it maybe affecting the stability of you NIC if excess stress is being put on the chipset that also drives it. (If you're not using a dedicated NIC and instead the embedded one)

 

Does the speed increase if you use the Wireless? Does it still persist if you connect directly to your router? (not through the powerline)

 

There is a slim phantom chance that the additional power draw could be affecting the powerline kit performance (but I doubt).

Yeah it seems that the second box I got was also faulty so I returned it and got a different one and it's back to normal. Also I was able to up my CPU overclock more and I'm now sitting around 4.4ghz at stock vcore on my 4930k
