[SOLVED] Incredibly slow download MB/s after wipe

[OrientalFlavored]

As the title suggests I just upgraded my system with a new mobo and cpu, wiped my SSD's and HDD, reinstalled windows 10 and now seemingly have a horrible download speed. For reference before my wipe on my old build I could hit around 7 MB/s - 5 MB/s even with YouTube on in the background comfortably and I was and still am the same Ethernet cable. Now downloading anything, whether that be from the Stream, Rockstar Launcher or anything from google caps itself 2-3 MB/s. I can't even load a video with a download going in the background. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Ensure that you install the correct drivers for your motherboard. Go to the website of your motherboard and download and install them.

Right now you are running generic drivers.

I installed the latest Bios and Drivers from the B450 Gaming PLUS Max site. Still the same speeds.

I'd boot a linux live cd and see if your speed improves or not. If it doesn't, there's some sort of hardware issue going on.

What speed is the link on your ethernet adapter showing in windows?

What is a Linux live CD do? My network adapter says its speed is 1.0 Gbps. Thanks!

A linux live cd will boot to a fully functional linux OS where you can run a browser and test your speed. If it isn't working right here then it's potentially a hardware issue.

Could this just be an issue with the ISP or are mobo's known to come with dysfunctional ethernet ports on arrival sometimes? I'll give the linux thing a go and tell you
