As the title says.. I need help with my Z77 Sabertooth Motherboard.
I have recently put together a nice rig with 1 problem and 1 problem only. My Mobo Sabertooth Z77 here is not functioning properly.
When doing bandwidth tests on my new rig I run into a problem where my Download and upload speeds are not what they should be. In fact with a computer sitting right next to this rig that is 2 1/2 years old running a Gigabyte x58 series board. The Sabertooth Z77 runs at 2/3rds the Download speed and 1/4 of the upload speed as my older computer.
Here is the break down:
Same exact internet connection, verified by my ISP to be running perfectly after I had them come out and check on it. Same Router used by both computers (Wired on both accounts) When doing individual tests with just the modem on either desktop I am still seeing the exact same down load numbers.
Gigabyte x58 = 32.6mbps down (Average) 4mbps upload (Average)
Sabertooth z77 = 22mbps down (Average) .75mbps upload (Average)
These numbers are over roughly 50 tests using different hardware setups and test runs over the exact same router / modem. The test location where these numbers are retrieved are here locally in my city as a control point.
I have updated all my drivers, from Intel which is the LAN Controller for this z77 board. ( Intel 82579V1x Gigabit LAN Controller ) As the Asus techs have given me information on. However my update from Intel's website yielded a slightly different model in a 82579V (No 1x as a suffix).
So to my questions;
Does anyone have any solid ideas on what I am to do with this problem? This is my second z77 Sabertooth board. I RMA'd the first one exactly for the reason of Asus saying that I had a bad board and that all my problem was related to that. I just got the next one. With again no problems other then this EXACT same issue of internet bandwidth slack. The performance is noticeable and it would definitely make me want to slap around puppies having to use this level of performance on a regular basis with this level of Desktop.
Thoughts?? Things I can try?? Other people noticing the same exact thing?? Haaaalp??
System:
OcZ Vertex 4 x2 Raid0 Setup
2500k Sandy i5
32gig Gskill 1600
7970 Sapphire GPU
Yada Yada!
