Does overheating making the Ping spike?

[hershgupta]

Hello,
So I am just tired and I have no clue what's going on.
I came from college and starts playing online games like CS:GO and DOTA2. I start from 5PM and at the time around 1.30AM or 2.00AM, ping spike starts. From 50-60 ms it goes to 250-300 ms. Is this happening because of overheating or something? I called the ISP guys and they told that there is no issue and I have checked my self, I don't think anything is wrong. Browsing, YouTube buffering etc, are working fine as usual.

Ping Test : http://www.pingtest.net/result/130551978.png

There is no Loss , but I have no idea what is jitter, so.
Can this be because I have low space left in my hard-drive? In my SSD, 449MB (total is 120GB) and 11.4GB left (total is 1TB). Well, WiFi is not the problem, I have tried both from router and directly plugging Ethernet wire in CPU. The ping spikes, never stop.
Guide me and tell if there is something wrong.
Thank you.

Your temps are fine. Its your internet look at the ping test time its 270ms.

270 ping is really slow.
standard ping is 20-60ms with fibreoptic around now 😛 your not playing American servers when your in EU or vice versa right? (I dunno how CS;GO match-making is)

But as you can see, the distance is 2450 miles. 270ms is not the point about the test. I test on pingtest is just to test the packet loss. Secondly, pingtest choose the servers automatically, which ever place they have hosted.
I don't join the servers at ~2450miles that far. I live in India and I play on Singapore servers, normal day, I get ping of 59-70ms Maximum.

as I have said in reply to the guy above you. I don't join servers that far. It is the pingtest you chooses the servers automatically.
I use pingtest only to check the Packet loss. And pingtest have servers in different locations, and unfortunately, they don't have servers in my country of near by. ~2K miles it is.

anyone living in your household? You have pretty slow internet for the 2015. I remember having those connection speeds and sometimes lagging in game beause of people within household

I can ping a server in California, from my house on the east coast of the US which is about 3,300 miles and that takes no more than 70ms, the servers in CS GO might also be that far away from you or more so 270ms ping at a distance of 2450miles is still quite high.

It is not very much developed as US or UK, and we don't have fiber optic lines in every city.
I don't get it by "living in household". I have connected the Ethernet wire directly on my PC. As I have told above, that there is no lag issues at the time I start playing. Ping is absolutely fine, I get 45-60ms MAXIMUM.

Then how come I play online at normal ping, having the same 270ms on pingtest ?
This is India, 3rd world country and not as developed as you think. You guys are using Fiber optic lines, maybe a ipv6 I guess, but its still ipv4 going on here.
OfCourse the transfer rate and 100 or 1000mbps DW/UP speed, will get you so low ping in any city.

I mean if other people are using the same internet as you where you connect? Like room-mate ... or brother/sister, etc.
I must go sleep now so I can't help anymore. But it seems more of an internet problem than performance etc

No one is using internet. I have plugged the wire directly to my PC. I am not using the Router or anything.
Thank you for your help. Hope I will fix this.

Ping spikes can be caused by failing equipment. The last time I encountered randomly high pings, it turned out my ethernet card was failing. However, this is exceedingly rare.

Do a traceroute. That's like a ping to every network hop between you and the destination. Do it when you're getting 60 ms pings, and again when you're getting 250 ms pings, then compare to see where the ping time has suddenly increased. In Windows, you open a command prompt and type: tracert pingtest.net

This will let you figure out if the problem is local or your ISP or something further up (the ISP's Internet provider may be experiencing heavy traffic or maintenance at 2 am).

Overheating NIC, but how modern is your PC? To me it sounds like peak hours though. ISP's sometimes throttle users also.

No go into command prompt and type "tracert 8.8.8.8" without the quotes, you can change 8.8.8.8 to the ip of whatever server or computer you want to ping as long as said server or computer accepts ping requests.

Hello end user! If the solution to your problem has not still not been found please try the following if you are using ANY type of virus protection software. For the fix and not the story scroll down.

- I first noticed the issue when I was playing an online game, my ping started spiking and would not go back down. At first I was 100% that I was either being DDOSd or I had some how managed to get malware.

Using "ping google.com -t" I was getting 176ms-600ms returns.

*I utilize 2 different security software clients*
-Malwarebytes Premium
-AVAST Premium

After confirming that my computer was not infected by anything Malicious I continued to monitor my network activity using AVAST. I began to notice immediately that AVAST was the most active process on the network.
Using the process of elimination I was able to find out that a special security feature included with AVAST known as "Secure DNS" was causing my extremely high response times. After disabling just that one feature I have not had a problem.

*********************FIX************************

-Use the process of elimination by disabling one feature at a time to find out if any of your security software features are causing the issue.

I am not sure, how to do it.
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security (3 year plan).
