Hey All,
So I created a thread previously in the homebuilt systems category (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/355711-31-spike-root-issue) about this problem, and I was told to remake the thread here.
here's a tl;dr of what we figured out/solved in the previous thread:
-I get on average about 13 - 20 1 second lag spikes per minute while in game (virtually unplayable).
-ran tests on gpu, cpu, and ram. all came out fine
-Starcraft 2 added in a "Network Spikes/min" counter while in game, which syncs up with the lag spikes that I'm having.
-may still be a too small PSU or Motherboard issue as well?
-Looks similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnQWFdbHFNg
-my average internet speed is 28 mb dl/2.8 up
-my connection is via ethernet cable/WAN
-tried forwarding sc2 ports on router, no luck
-tried using different ethernet cable, no luck
We currently have a Sonicwall TZ-105 router that was just recently installed, which I believe may have made the lag worse. I share the connection with ~3 other computers in the house currently as well via the router.
Also recently i've noticed that in general my internet browsing/video loading has been very slow, especially for a 28 mb dl connection.
