    Need help with rubber banding issue in gaming

    This sounds like a bit of a quality of service issue. If the router does not have QoS setup, it won't use any logic in distributing the load across devices, and some of them might have favoritism applied to them out of sheer chance. However, setting up QoS may be a bit of a hassle so first I...

    Getting spectrum WiFi device, have ASUS RT-AC87U router, should I use modem provided by spectrum?

    Don't use the wifi. I wouldn't even pay for it, you don't need wifi provided by charter. Use the modem they give you, but hard wire it over lan directly to your own wireless router, and connect to it instead. It will do all the heavy lifting. I also have spectrum, and the modem they provide...

    Best CPUs (Archive)

    The thing is, all of AMD's CPU's are overclockable, but the same cannot be said for Intel, you have to pay a premium for that privilege. Because of this, this disqualifies a lot of potential Intel processors, unfortunately. Additionally, with the cost of equivalent quality motherboards also...

    Can I clean my air cooler( Noctua NH D15 S) with soap and water?

    I repaired and refurbished computers for 15 years on the side. Take the CPU cooler off the motherboard, remove all the fans, take it outside, and hit it with a water hose. Leave it in the sun to dry. Don't worry, you won't damage it one bit.

    Radeon Pro Goes Enterprise: Adrenalin Edition For Workstations

    That's with stock bios. You can do 40 mHash/s on a power draw of 192 watts on Vega 64 if you undervolt it. If you are lucky, you can push that even further. Right now, Vega offers the most hashrate efficiency. You cannot look at the extremes and base your opinions on that. That is not realistic.

    Newegg Mistakenly Sends Emails About Settlements On AMD, Nvidia GPUs

    Lets say the newspaper accidentally states your are a pedophile. A week later they say it is a mistake... too late. People will forever think you are a pedophile, and the newspaper would be sued. This is no different.

    Copper or aluminium phone Line

    As a quick test, if you have enough wire to do it, is run a phone cable straight to the box outside your house for a temporary test. Sounds like you are getting packet loss, which could very easily happen on a noisy phone line. I assume you ARE using phone line filters right? That will keep the...

    Copper or aluminium phone Line

    You'll need to unscrew one of the boxes from the wall and check. A good electrician would not do this, but copper plated(or alloy) wires selling as solid copper wires for the cheap exist... basically 98% of the cheap china wire market. The only way to know is to measure a length, check the...

    Random Latency Spikes

    Do a tracert(or pathping) instead, and itll show the exact hop which is causing the latency spike. From there, we might have something to go on. You may need to repeat it until the spike is reproduced.

    Better Performance Question

    So I have just finished building and setting up my home NAS(16TB, 8TB effective due to redundancy, Raid 10), which is for file security and easy access from multiple computers in the house, and the network is running on a Gigabit network, and large files peak at 112MB/ps which sounds spot on to...

    what is the 6870 equvilent performance wise on current amd cards

    75-90 would be a fair price to sell then for each. That card is not a prefered card for bitmining, they use the 7870 cards and higher. Take a look at this chart: http://media.bestofmicro.com/O/0/403920/original/17-Bitminer.png
