    [SOLVED] Powerline speed drop question

    Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows why my powerline connection has dropped 90% of its speed. I'm using tp-link 500Mbps powerline adapters, and for the first 6 months of using them in my new house i was getting 90-110 Mbps speeds with no drops. Nothing has changed regarding my setup, but...

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    Thanks, i will check them out and let him know. It's in a NZXT H440 (newer edition one) and he actually has the front panel off at the moment so the 3 x NZXT 120mm fans have nothing blocking them. 1 x 120mm exhaust fan, also by NZXT.

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    Ah I see, I will re-seat the cooler and see if that makes a difference, and I will lower the frequency and voltage of the CPU and see if it helps bring the temps down. And yes that is the correct motherboard. Any recommendations on a good cooler for it?

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    It's a Gigabyte GA-990X Motherboard and an Arctic Freezer 7 rev.2 Edit: temps are high, in lobby on Fortnite it goes straight to 78 degrees. The thermal paste was freshly done by myself a few months ago and CPU cooler fully cleaned too.

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    I haven't tried that but can try at the weekend, do you really thinks a 300mhz difference in RAM would cause such a huge FPS difference? It seems unlikely.

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    Both running Windows 10, his has 1300Mhz 8Gb, mine has 1600Mhz 8Gb. His PC was using 4GB of memory when in game, so I put some 16Gb 1300Mhz RAM in and it then said 4.3Gb is being used, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference in game.

    Is the HDD bottlenecking this PC?

    Hi, I'm about to start trying to fix a PC for a friend, we have been playing together recently and he's suffering from severely low FPS and stuttering in game, in every game we play, even though his graphics card and CPU are better than mine. He has: AMD FX-8350 4.0ghz @ 1.35v 8GB RAM 1300Mhz...

    Help choosing a laptop

    Thanks for the reply, however I don't think the Lenovo T580 would be any good for it seeing as it only has a quad core 1.6ghz CPU, that seems quite slow for a laptop that needs to process huge 3d cad files, or am I missing something here?
