Good to know lol. I was talking to a buddy and he was talking about bottlenecks and I got nervous hahah. I got the CPU back in 2020, so I was surprised to see it being considered "weak" when pair with the 3070ti. Needless to say I'm happy I came here to inquire lol. I'll be making the purchase...

Happy Holidays everyone <3. The holidays have placed me in possession of a bit of money that is burning a hole in my pocket...so I must rid of it! I am looking at upgrading my MSI RTX 2070 Super. I have my eyes set on a 3070ti, but when I was doing some research, it appears I will create a...

I currently have 24gb of ram (2x8gb@2133mhz + 2x4gb@2133mhz), I am looking to upgrade. My motherboard is a ASUS Z170-P, which supports up to 3466MHz of DDR4 RAM. I saw that Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 RAM is on sale for $80CDN.... would this give me better results with...

I ended up getting an MSI 2070 Super Ventus :) Thank you for all your help!

I might go ahead with the 2070. A friend suggested that I wait for the 3050, lol I don't NEED 32GB, I just want it for QOL :p. I'm an admin on a Rust server, and sometimes I want to play another game, but be able to bounce back and forth between Rust and the game I'm playing. Am I wrong in...

Would a 2070 Super be worth it? I've got the cash for it, and if it will future-proof me for the next few years, I'd be happy! I have 2x8gb, and 2x4gb XD... I've been planning on getting 2x16gb at some point in the near future lol I have no desire to stream, only game :)

You guys are always so much better at this than I am XD. I was looking at saving money for a bit longer and do a big computer upgrade, but unfortunately given the current state of the economy, that won't happen for me. So I was thinking about spending what I have, and tossing it a new GPU. I was...

Alright, so I took off the wall jacks to see how he connected them. He connected them all to 568a pattern, where my cables are all 568b type. So all the cables I'm using from router->wall, and wall->computer as jumpers weren't carrying the signal...maybe?...total assumption. I configured the...

So. I believe I have found the issue. He used type a connections...and all my wires are type b. Can he just repunch the cables and swap the orange and green cables? Or do I need to get new wall jacks all together?

Would having an ethernet tester identify the problem?

If I understand what you are asking correctly, then yes... that is the lay out. Kitchen has the router, and the 3 port jack. There are 3 runs of cable running from the 3 port jack, one to my office, one to the living room, and one to my wifes office.

So I tested the other Ethernet outlets.... none of them work. So do you think he connected them to the outlet wrong?

I think it was a punch tool... maybe I'll call him back. I paid him to install it correctly, therefore he should fix the issue. Baaaaahh....so annoying. I'll try out one of the other single port jacks in another room in the morning.

Now when you say he terminated one of them wrong, do you mean he didn't connect the cat 6 to the port correctly? Is this something that can be fixed if I pop the outlet off?
