Have a look at my most recent build (all ordered up now, just waiting for deliveries) might help& inspire: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/another-ryzen-3600x-build.3652031/

After some considerations, the updated list: Case: Sharkoon Pure Steel Black RGB (Decided to sell my old rig and well... that needs I case so I might as well get a new one) 57,- MOBO: GIGABYTE Aorus B550 Elite 128,- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Removed the X, saved 30,- reading many places the X...

Thanks for the quick reply! So my "best buy" for 3600 CL16's are the G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3600C16D-32GVKC at 160,- coming in at + 50,- / 140% price. Worth? EDIT nvm, found them a bit cheaper, def. worth!

Hi everyone, So after 6 years of steady duty by my previous build, it feels like high time for some upgrades. Or you know what, let's just do a new build ;) I am however looking to use some old components as well, but I'll get into that later. Any advice on this build would be much...

Thanks @bill001g @jeremyj_83 and @SamirD for your help. I managed to find the item throttling the speed of the switch... My Realtek RTL8111F had died a while back when I was away for business. My GF was using my computer every now and then and bypassed the problem with an external USB Ethernet...

Thank you @bill001g 👍 I'm just hoping to pick your brain a bit and take you into this tunnel I'm in with me. As far as I can think I've eliminated all other sources systematically: - Tested every points along the wire before the switch: all 50 Mbps (or very close to it) including just...

Unfortunately I do need the switch... or at least would very much prefer to solve the issue with it. It is almost impossible to re-wire everything straight to the router... it's a big old house and the wiring now has just one wire that goes to the part where the workspaces are. There we need to...

Thanks for your reply. I'm quite a noob when it comes to home networks 🤣 My modem (a ZYXEL VMG8825-T50) also sends out the WiFi, so I guess it is a modem + router? The connection from there to the TV runs at 50Mbps. That's about the max we can get here, and that's fine with me. It also sends...

Yes from the modem there is one line to the TV in the livingroom and one line to the switch. That switch then goes to the two workspaces.

Also @jeremyj_83 There is actually no wire in any walls 😉 it's like... a VERY old house. So the CAT5 runs along the skirting and stuff. I'm fully sure the issue is in the switch and not the wiring though. Not good at hardware, but I am at isolating issues. Tested right before the switch (50)...

All cables are CAT 5 :) yeah I should have mentioned that. Issues are purely with the switch. Couple hours later now and internet is super wonky, cuts out every now and then, tests are in the 3-5 range.... 🤦‍♂️ thinking this upgrade really was a downgrade, but don't understand why.

Once again my ignorance when it comes to hardware brings me to Tom's Hardware XD P.s. all speeds come from Speedtest.net. So I found out my ethernet switch (Some EDIMAX 5-port fast ethernet (10/100) switch that was already installed when I started living here...) was having some SERIOUS impact...

NVM, already figured out my MOBO supports DDR3 2133Mhz Max... tips on the best RAM / value for that?

Hi everyone, I want to do a serious RAM-update on my build and I just wanted to run it by here to see if there are any issues with this upgrade. Current system: AMD FX-3850 Vishera ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 290 Windforce Win 8.1 Pro 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600-CL9...

Anyone with any idea besides the win installation?
