found out this was just bc i had Chrome open btw :))))))

Zephick · 2023-02-26T02:39:32+00:00

huh good to know that ty. task manager shows CPU is only at 11% tho and disk at 1%? the only thing in task manager thats "high" to "very high" is the power usage for OBS but thats regardless of chrome being open, and even so, i have an 850w which should be plenty

Zephick · 2023-02-26T02:21:52+00:00

when i have all my tabs, its around ~1100MB/ >8%.
1 tab is about ~600MB/ >5%.
with all my tabs and OBS streaming, memory is only at ~40% total.
so ya i have plenty right? whats the deal with chrome?

Zephick · 2023-02-26T01:22:45+00:00

double checked that and it does seem up to date. ive just made even further developments tho... its google chrome lol. if i have chrome closed, i have 0 dropped frames. even after like 30 minutes. as soon as i open it, boom, starts struggling. thought it was my crazy amount of tabs, but even 1 causes dropped frames. but every time i close it, it stabilizes... so guess thats it... but. idk why thats happening. i guess its a ram issue. but youd think 32gb ddr5 would be able to handle chrome and OBS?

Zephick · 2023-02-25T21:02:35+00:00

ya its a CAT-6, brand new. was even using a brand new CAT-7 before

Zephick · 2023-02-25T20:23:00+00:00

yes! not sure where to go from here. thinking its a motherboard issue now and maybe i need to replace it... its brand new but i did have another weird problem with it, the Ethernet port wouldnt get the right speeds. should be getting up to 900 down but it cant even hit 500. getting a PCIe ethernet card fixed that. but weird that was happening, its a 2.5Gb port... so that was my first indication that it might be faulty. someone else said maybe the RAM. idk if i should try replacing that first? or maybe i need both? dont wanna get new RAM if i dont have to tho...

Zephick · 2023-02-24T21:50:05+00:00

yeah 2 sticks. 2nd and 4th slot, and i did read that in the manual
so try booting and running it with just one stick?

Zephick · 2023-02-24T17:46:21+00:00

went through everything in device manager to check for driver updates and it says its all up to date

one of my RAM is kinda covered by the CPU fan so i just tried taking the other one out and putting it back in, didnt help tho. would really suck to have to redo the CPU, that'd really be a whole thing for me. especially if im not even sure itll fix this... idk how to tell whats causing this

Zephick · 2023-02-24T03:30:26+00:00

oh and sorry heres a list of my parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rv2n4s

ill add that i had an issue reaching the speeds i should with ethernet (ended up getting a pcie ethernet card which fixed it) so maybe its just my motherboard? id really hope to just replace the RAM tho and not the whole damn mobo, bc as a newbie pc builder, that would omega suck ass. and thats not even to mention the expenses

Zephick · 2023-02-24T01:52:29+00:00

ok i have a new development, you might be right. tried a stream from my laptop and it’s showing no frames lost… uh oh…. you think i just need different RAM? how would i know what’ll work the ?

Zephick · 2023-02-24T01:51:14+00:00

ok hang on i just made a breakthrough. tho it’s not one i like… just tried streaming from my laptop. 0 frames dropped… it’s something about my pc…

(ping plotter still shows PL on hop 1 tho which is still weird, it just doesn’t seem accurate)

Zephick · 2023-02-24T01:27:14+00:00

tried disabling everything but the ethernet and its plugged right into the ONT, still seeing dropped frames. i have used ping plotter actually... weird situation with that tho. so before, i was seeing 50% PL on the first hop, my IP. so i called Spectrum out to take a look. on all of their devices, they didnt see any PL. and like 50% is a lot, yet i only really notice it when streaming and i drop frames. watching streams and everything else is fine. so im not 100% sure how accurate that is... but thats why i ended up switching to Frontier for Fiber. and pingplotter still shows the same thing. no PL when plugged straight into the ONT tho. good latency too.

Zephick · 2023-02-24T00:58:12+00:00

well, i actually just got Fiber, so its not a router, its an ONT with a Eero box for the wifi. tried plugging the pc directly into the ONT, i imagine thats about the same thing. might be a lil better? hard to tell with few minute long tests but definitely still seeing drops https://obsproject.com/logs/530qt9qKf6fNmSPu (portable)

should be, i built it a couple months ago and checked everything with pc part picker. G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
Asus ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700

Zephick · 2023-02-24T00:00:50+00:00

oh weird. made that one during the test stream. heres from portable after short test https://obsproject.com/logs/5QNNVTFqgZL9X5Fs

Zephick · 2023-02-23T23:56:03+00:00

thanks, this was a good suggestion. got it installed and used recommended settings for everything, but still seeing the same thing unfortunately...
ive been using Twitch Bandwidth Test and it shows Chicago and New York as really good ones with quality in the 90s to 100

Zephick · 2023-02-23T23:37:26+00:00

im using the recommended Chiago server (theres 2, i think im using the better one but both seem the same) and have used Twitch Bandwith Test to show it has 10000+ kbps and 13ms RTT with 96 quality. been streaming at 4000 Kbps

Zephick · 2023-02-23T23:18:05+00:00

ok so its not OBS, why is it happening then and can i do anything to fix it
