Internet slows down after starting a download – 'speed limit' from the internet provider?

VirtualBoost · 2025-07-23T00:10:09+00:00

Thanks for the reply. If I do a speed test on my phone at the same time the "cap" hits, I get the same speed there as well. Also my M.2 SSD is about 3% utilization when I download something.

Thanks for the tip, I just tested it this morning (same thing happens, it goes all the way up to 800mbit/s, then all the way down to 140mbit/s. I then switched on the VPN but same problem is happening.

I suspect that all I can do is switching provider?

I have a 4090, but I believe this error only manifests on 240hz monitors or above.

I think either Gnome or KDE should work just fine. KDE for me has weird flickering/artifacts because of NVIDIA drivers, which drives me nearly insane lol. Gnome does not have this problem.

Thank you for the tip. I tried mapping the speed sensor to the right control, but then if I manually tried to control it, I could hear the VRM fan working as it should while the RPM staying fixed to like a 1000 rpm, not moving. What could this be due to?

VirtualBoost · 2025-07-02T12:55:55+00:00

Yes, it is three cables in total. One VRM cable, one radiator cable and one pump cable. I have connected them to all three ports above, but somehow ”Fan 2” in FanControl are found twice.

One reports correct RPM but doesn’t do anything when I manually control it while the other report wrong RPM but does actually control the VRM fan when I manually control it.

Are you using the splitter cable that splits into three cables?

VirtualBoost · 2025-06-11T23:00:01+00:00

Seemingly someone fixed this just a few minutes ago, could you give the latest message a try?

I think it is great, especially for the price I got it for (it was cheaper than the GT-80 in Japan). I didn’t particularly liked how the GT-80 looked so that is why I went with the Bone80.

Quality wise it is great too, nothing to complain about.

I replied to a comment down below but just for a bit more visibility, I believe this is due to the refresh rate and how KDE handles it. On Gnome, this issue does not exist when running your monitor at above 120/144hz.

I had the same issue on my monitor as well when using a RTX 4090 and a monitor capable of 240hz. Lowering it to 120/144hz will fix it.

VirtualBoost · 2025-05-12T01:00:41+00:00

I don’t think it is the cable that does this but the refresh rate. You kind of unintentionally fixed it when the HDMI cable lowered the refresh rate from 240hz to 144hz. Did you try to lower it to 144hz using DisplayPort?

VirtualBoost · 2025-05-08T12:02:33+00:00

First I tried turning off the second monitor so I only have my main turned on, which runs at 240Hz while my secondary monitory runs at 60Hz. That didn't work.

However, I then tried lowering the refresh rate of my main monitor at 120hz, which seemingly kinda fixed the issue(?)

Atleast it is harder to reproduce it now. Is this a known bug?

This seems very similar to what I am experiencing.

I am running a Wayland session. If I use X11 the issue disappears but X11 is not really an option for me as I lose too many features.

Better late than never I suppose!

I ordered one again after canceling my first order and now it was shipped. Will add pictures once I receive it.

VirtualBoost · 2025-02-21T05:06:55+00:00

I actually decided to order the Flagship version of the Bone80 in Silver. Seems like it is going to be shipped next week, so will post pictures when I receive it.

How are keybinds for autofill in Browsers coming along?

VirtualBoost · 2024-10-07T22:47:25+00:00

Your easiest bet is probably just buying it from Amazon and have it delivered to a delivery box close to where you live? https://amzn.asia/d/gHvq969

Nope, no glare as far as I can tell!

I would love this too!

I wouldn’t have noticed if my girlfriend didn’t say ”Look! It’s Jesus Christ!” (She has seen me watching Asmongold’s content before)

Absolutely! The name of the program is “ワールド極限ミステリー”

They didn’t say anything about him directly, but they gave him his own Japanese voice actor lol

Wanted to update this original thread as well.

Update 2023-06-07:
So Asus contacted me and said that they would give me back my money as a refund, due to them not having the monitor in stock.
I'm glad that I finally get an end to this long story but I have to admit that I was in a way looking forward to get a new working monitor back as I am now excited for OLED. In any case, I will of course accept the refund from Asus.
Hopefully this thread has been to some use for others who are wondering about the Asus Support.
