Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.
I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.
SmokePing might be a bit more popular than NZXT CAM. We know about 27 links to it since March 2021 and only 25 links to NZXT CAM. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Have you checked the temperatures of the GPU and CPU? Use NZXT cam to check these ( NZXT CAM | PC Monitoring and Configuration Software ). Poor airflow could be causing the pc to crash. Let me know what kind of temperatures you are getting in and out of games and I would be more than happy to help from there. Source: 12 months ago
Hello! Have you checked your cpu temperatures? If you don't know where to find this information you can download nzxt cam ( NZXT CAM | PC Monitoring and Configuration Software) it is fairly self explanatory. If your cpu gets too hot it will start thermal throttling, meaning that it will slow down to not cook itself alive. If your pc is water cooled, that likely kicked the bucket and you are going to need a new... Source: 12 months ago
NZXT Cam is super nice for monitoring system temps and performance. Not nearly as a performance hog as it used to be. The interface is simple and large. You can customize it to display only the stuff you want it to. The only NZXT hardware I have is my case. It has no issues monitoring the normal system items. Source: about 1 year ago

Get NZXT CAM, click gear icon in bottom left > mini mode > launch mini mode with cpu/gpu temperature and load, plus ram load. Go ingame, see if a part is overloaded and/or overheated. Source: about 1 year ago
I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 12 months ago
Let me introduce you to a rather old, but still highly useful, tool for free. Takes a little leg work to get going, but pays off in style. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/. Source: 12 months ago
So I would run Smoke Ping (https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) for a while to get an idea of the loss. If it really is an external issue, you can try a VPN to hopefully pickup a different route. Source: about 1 year ago
I personally like smokeping, https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ . Has lots of different probes so you can do more than just "ping if it is alive". Source: about 1 year ago
I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized. I set up an instance of SmokePing and have it monitoring a number of services, as... Source: about 1 year ago
