Could it also be something as simple as not running ram in dual channel? My older desktop has the same amount of ram ( 8gb), but it is using two sticks in dual channel whereas my laptop has only one 8gb stick right now.

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44-R99Q Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon graphics GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 I recently was given this laptop, and while I really do like it I have a question regarding its performance when compared to my desktop pc I built in 2014 (which is running an FX-6300 and GTX 660)...

Okay. Here’s my silly question for the day. I’ve been reading about routers vs modems, how modems provide the internet while routers emit the wifi signal. I have been confused about our situation regarding a modem for years. Now I finally decided to try to figure it out. Do we even have a modem...

Okay. So after even more research I happened upon the suggestion to turn off the QoS feature in the router. After having done that I am experiencing up to 300 Mbps, but only when standing right next to the router for the best possible signal. That is still a huge improvement, so I’m fine with that

Shows how much I know. I didn’t know an ethernet card was a thing, and I built a computer. Wow. Well, the model of the laptop is 15-bs013dx, and according to support.hp.com the network interface is integrated 10/100/1000 GbE LAN... is that what you were looking for? If the laptop is...

Router: Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk A few months back we upgraded EPB services from using a set top box to using their “EPB Fi TV” app through a fire stick, and apparently my dad also paid for 300 Mbps internet. Once the first EPB employee set our TV up, a second person came to our door and worked...

I'm trying to figure out why a friend's pc won't turn on, and I'd like to do the paperclip test on the psu to see if the psu is faulty. My question is this. Do I have to unplug ALL connections from the PSU to the mobo and such, or do I only need to unplug the 24 pin connection to run the test? I...

I was wondering... I have a friend who has an oem version of Vista on his computer that I wish to upgrade to Windows 10 via a flash drive. Does Windows 10 have to be oem as well to work or not? I realize this kind of question has been asked a few times before, but I never seen a clear cut yes...

I am helping someone upgrade their pc from Vista to 10, but I need to know if the processor mentioned in the topic title is a 32 bit or 64 bit processor. They are currently running Vista 32 bit, but there is nothing that says if the processor is 32 or 64 bit itself. This computer is for basic...

I asked something similar to this before, but I have new information from when I first asked this question. I was wondering if two fans rated at .31 amps would be too much for a Kingwin FPX-003 which is rated at .67 amps and 8 watts per channel. Now obviously .31 +.31 equals .62 which is less...

For what it's worth I have the AMD FX-6300 cpu. I have two different questions. 1. Why is the cpu temp reading in ASRock eXtreme Tuner different than the readings I get on Cam and HWiNFO? 2. What is the difference between these two cpu readings in HWiNFO? The second cpu reading must be the...
