  1. Strange LAN speed behaviour


    I currently have 3 computers with windows 10 installed (2 laptops and 1 desktop) and I have a contract for Gigabit internet (1000 down/200 up). On the two laptops, using a LAN connection, speed is just fine at around 850/900 mbit/s. My desktop pc is a whole other story

    For some programs, for example while using Opera Browser, I can download files at 300/400 mbit/s, and I get 100 down/40 up

    In contrast, while downloading FS 2020 I can only get to 14 mbit/s and it is taking forever, and doing multiple Speedtests with the official windows app I only get 40 down/50 up.

    I have checked if the problem was related to a bad wiring, by running test with my laptops connected to the same LAN cable of my desktop, and speeds remained high,

    Most importantly I've installed Linux Mint on a usb flash drive to do a test using another OS, and I reached speeds of 900/950 mbit/s.
    So the problem is only related to this particular install of windows 10.
    I've checked if I had the correct drivers for my motherboard's network interface, and they were.
    I also checked that internet speed wasn't capped by any external program of any kind, and I couldn't find any potential problems.

    At this point i don't know what else to try...

    (for Speedtest.net I made sure to be connected to the same server for every test)

    E8600 strange behaviour

    Won't disabling speed step make it always be at 4GHz?
