I just built a new rig and most high-bandwidth websites take 50% longer to load than any of my 2nd gen i7's on the same network. I get good benchmark scores (8.3 cpu Windows 8 Exp.), but web page loads are slow. After several hours of troubleshooting I have ruled out everything except the CPU, and less likely, the motherboard.
4770k O/Ced @ 4.5 using h100i
ASUS Z87 Pro
8gb gskill trident x 10-12-12-31 @ 2400
Win 8 Pro
At first I figured it had to be a network problem, but troubleshot that to death with no luck (swapping cables, NIC's, changing settings, etc). It is also definitely not a ram issue.
Unless I figure something out, I am going to sell this rig and build a new one with a 2700k (I need maximum web page load speeds for my business). Does anyone have any theories about what is causing the slower web page load times?
