I’m on Newsgroup.ninja, just got a new CPU (5700X3D a month ago or so.) and a new router the other day (LN1301, but it was doing this before having the new router as well and it still does it plugging my PC directly into my modem bypassing it), also added a new hard drive to my PC (it does it even while downloading to my NVMe.) My ISP also upgraded my internet from 300mbps to 400mbps recently for free.

I have a 460mbps connection, but it keeps dipping down into the 170mbps range for a few sec and then it goes back up to the normal speeds. I disabled IPV6 to see if that was causing it, nope. I tried downloading directly to my NVMe to see if that would fix it, nope. I disabled direct unpack in Sab and other CPU/HDD taxing settings and still nothing. Restarting my PC MIGHT have fixed it for a day, but i wasn’t downloading much in that day so it’s hard to say. I never saw this happen before upgrading my CPU AND before my ISP upgraded my internet from 300mbps to 400mbps. So i don’t have any clue what this is causing it. Any clues what it might be? I’m having a hard time narrowing down to my ISP, CPU etc. I’m sure it could be my new hard drive as well, but i don’t understand why it would do it while downloading to my NVMe if that were the case.
