It was the cooler block. Last night I moved the radiator back to the original spot and fan orientation and it still had this same issue. Took off the cooler block and reapplied thermal paste and now it's back to a steady 35-37 degrees at idle. Moved radiator back to exhaust out the back and...

I decided I wanted to move my radiator to a different part of the case today to improve airflow. Before moving it the CPU would read at 35-37 degrees at idle and stick there. Now it's jumping between 30-60 degrees and will sometimes fluctuate 10 degrees in the matter of a second(still at idle)...

What are you paying for from your ISP? Is this connection wireless or hardwired? Is this going through a router? What are your speeds hardwired directly to your modem. Do you have other computer in the home, and if so are they having this issue too?

Since nobody asked yet, what are you hardwired speeds to the router?

You should be able to unplug your modem for a year and plug it back in and not have any issues. If Cox is seeing "red" they are probably referring to your signal levels which most likely due to a line issue rather than a modem issue. Have you had any issues before now?

Also go into the network and sharing center and then manage wireless networks and find your SSID and remove it from the list and try re connecting to it as a brand new connection. And just to ask, you have other wireless devices that are able to connect and browse?

This install of windows is only a couple weeks old. I also run bitdefender as my AV.

Also to add, just because the speeds are the same doesn't mean everything. Are the ping times the same?

I have a dual monitor setup and recently I've started having a weird issue and can't seem to figure out what's causing it. Let me try to explain. If I'm typing on one monitor with nothing on the other it'll randomly click off and start making a beeping noise because I'm no longer typing in the...

Well first off, are you using a proxy?

If you can connect to the router wirelessly then go to the default gateway IP and login to the router internals and set up the SSID and key.

My money would be hardware/software issue. WoW is more dependent on your processor. You can have an amazing GPU, but a meh processor and you'll still have graphic issues. Make sure the cards drivers are up date. Is this a brand new laptop? If not did it work better at one point? Do you play...

Most routers will have some type of QOS so you can choose the max bandwidth a connection can use. Just do some research on different models and see.
