i7 860 @ 4.0 GHz: Feels slow still

Kenster1991 · 10-19-10, 07:47 PM

Currently I have my Core i7 860 at 4.0 GHz stable for the past 5 months, and am still feeling a bit slow on uploads and downloads and response times. I am running on a EVGA Classified 200 P55, the i7 860 is cooled by a Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Rev2, and I have 4 GB of 1600 MHz Corsair Dominator, and a GTX 480, all powered by a Corsair HX850.

Here are my screen caps.

Is there anything I should change or make note of that will make my overclock perform better.

Thanks
Ken

Hey nice rig... too bad it has nothing to do with your upload and download speeds though!

Whats your cable connection supposed to be? What is it have you checked?

Kenster1991 · 10-19-10, 08:30 PM

Is that okay, it is Rogers Cable, and I am running through a D-Link DIR 655

EarthDog · 10-19-10, 08:32 PM

Dont know. What are you SUPPOSED to be getting?

Kenster1991 · 10-19-10, 08:34 PM

I am pretty sure we are on Rogers Extreme Plan which is 15 Mbps Down and Up is approx 1 MB. But we are at half the upload speed.

But in the Disclamer it says
**Note for Extreme customers: If you signed up for Extreme before July 21st, 2010, your download speed remains at 10 Mbps and your usage allowance remains at 95 GB.
Yet I think we changed in August 2009.

jason4207 · 10-20-10, 10:08 AM

Uploads and downloads are dependent on your Internet connection and how much bandwidth the server you are connecting to is willing to give you. It has nothing to do w/ your OC.

16Mb/s is the same as 2MB/s which is fast by Internet standards, but slow compared to any other device in your PC. The HDD is the next bottleneck in the PC behind the Internet, and a modern HDD pulls around 100MB/s avg. New SSDs pull ~280MB/s.

Which 'response time' are you referring to?

Sounds like hes referring to lag / latency

That wasnt nice at all Rickoles. Please refrain from saying things like that. We are all here to help, not to demean others. Werent you already warned by the mod team for stuff like this??? Here is a refresher link of what the members here at overclockers.com strive to achieve...

I hate to say it, I have the same set up as you, except I use two gtx 260s instead of a 480.

Your internet is your problem, not your computer. You should call your provider if there is something wrong.

Here where I am we can get 30MB down commerically and 5 up.

jorge-ncp- · 10-20-10, 02:16 PM

You guys are SO LUCKY man.
Do you know what's the down/upload speed here????

probably pretty bad, but where you are connecting TO is the bigger factor. notice in the speed test that he is testing to his isp, so of course speed will be good. What you want to do is pick a test site at the opposite end of the country you are in, thats a more accurate test of what your 'real' speed is

EarthDog · 10-20-10, 02:29 PM

You do not connect to your ISP in this test. It SHOWS who it is, but the server he is connecting to is less than 50 miles away in Oakville, Ontario. You can choose any one of a number of them across the country in fact to gauge your speed, but its not to your ISP.

And who knows, by some chance, you may have a more direct pipe across the country than 50 miles away. Have you run a tracert to your closest server on that test or one across the country? Its not likely of course but its not a straight shot at all (for example, Im in between Bmore and DC, the server I connect to is DC, there are several hops of which I believe I go as far midwest as Chicago Ill).

jorge-ncp- · 10-20-10, 02:30 PM

Still, I pick a test site "close" to my city and this is the result:
(Please don't laugh lol)

jorge-ncp- · 10-20-10, 02:31 PM

And just so you know how LUCKY you guys are, this is the most expensive plan in my country. It doesn't get faster than that here!

RJARRRPCGP · 10-20-10, 02:35 PM

For both with high pings, unplug the modem for at least 30 seconds.

jorge-ncp- · 10-20-10, 02:55 PM

That won't work for me. Trust me, 190ms is a damn "good ping" here.
Regular latency is 300ms, and when REAL lag comes to play it can get to 1200ms.

Sucks down here

NoCc_ · 10-20-10, 03:14 PM

Thank you for this thread. Honestly.

It made me glad to live in Sweden which doesn't happen all to often

America seems to have a lot worse internet infrastructure than Sweden and several other European countries

I pay about 42 dollars/month for this, but it also includes my homephone

jorge-ncp- · 10-20-10, 04:17 PM

WOW, I feel like crying!!

The worst part is: I pay about $30 for mine, and it DOESN'T include homephone!!

That's ludicrous. Actually, the long and short of it is that most cable companies hold local monopolies here. They can charge a lot of money for crap connections. I have DSL (because our local cable monopoly simply won't get any of my money) and my speeds are 1.32M/512Kbps as measured.

I would do horrible things to have Sweden/South Korea level high-speed internet speeds and prices... Heck, I'd be content with spending a lot of money on it!

Cuiiey · 10-20-10, 07:18 PM

I wish i was on America, i pay 100bucks a month for unlimited calls to landlines and free mobiles to this one carrier, but my net is only 20gb and the speed is (holds breath) 3.8mbps.
