Do you wirerless charge it? That can be a *huge* killer on battery lifespan. imo, just stick with a good quality 10w wired charger.

Faster charging will result in better battery lifespan. I like to stay @ 1 AMP. my 12 Pro Max is still at "100% Original Capacity" after over 6 months with it.

Just to point out - as I'm posting this, that same admin is breaking their own rules about discussing moderator actions. They're discussing this in Pilot Chat. They're also breaking their rule about staying on topic. According to this person, Pilot Chat is to discuss Floatplane and LMG videos on Floatplane.

Sammy, I think you hit the nail on the head 100% with this. There is some clear abuse of power going on in the discord. The LMG community should be a place where people feel free to speak about things that interest them. People are being banned/muted for disagreeing with moderators over the simplest little things. Not to name names, but there is a mod who very clearly breaks the rules about not going off topic. I will add, this admin/mod was the person who wrote this rule. Having a community like you mentioned must be awesome, everyone would be free to discuss anything they wanted to with no fear of being banned. I remember about a year ago, someone was banned for openly discussing about them being suicidal. I can only imagine this was the opposite of helping this person on their road to recovery- and is potentially life threatening. Mods said that the Discord TOS is to BAN suicidal people- which is quite literally false.

definitely hasn't worked for a year.

Oh, I haven't tried them(recently), but I remember Luke saying they know about them, but it was on the back burner.

The search doesnt work.

I've posted this before, but do Pin the Tail on the motherboard. A blind, one handed test to install a GPU/pci-e device into the mobo.

no, lol. you're mistaking 1 and 2 sticks for 2 and 4. AM4 Ryzen can't do Quad-Channel. 2 sticks get you the best performance.

Please dont highlight your text holy crap. I've used Intel, and AMD AsRock BIOS's and never had an issue with it being "clunky"..

They should be fairly well paired. You're slightly cpu limited. It depends on the game though. You can check yourself! Open taskmanager, then launch your game. play your game for a bit. then, return to task manager. You will see what is limiting what. If you have 100% CPU usage, and 60% GPU, you can get more fps if you upgrade your CPU.

Is your CPU overclocked? Those temps look high even for the OEM cooler... it should idle in the mid 30's. Try re-installing your CPU cooler

I can't say that for sure, but it COULD be that. CPU's do this ocasionally, where they spike temps. its not an issue.

Yeah, double NAT is an issue. Dont do that. Connect the PC directly to the first router and you'll have no problems.

I have a SP ssd, its 3 years old. Now, i wouldnt recommend one though.

The problem with jamming 12 cores into a small desktop cpu is how much heat it puts out in such a little space. I would almost BET that those issues are because of a buggy bios on the x470 board

Just updating this OLD post incase anyone stumbles across it. The person i was setting this up for has TiVo, and tivo has IFTTT integrations. We bought a google home, and I configured it to change channel when you say "Hey Google, channel 12"

For what you want, you seem to have done a good job. The motherboard will not require the additional 4 pin PSU connector. I would suggest not buying a Windows 10 license, and rather use it while its not activated. This will save you that $135, and will only leave a watermark, and will disable some customization options. If it causes you an issue, then you can activate windows later no problem.

It doesn't matter what EVGA says about a minimum recommended PSU. Those numbers are VERY conservative and you should do your OWN calculations, and then add ~ 25%. I could run two 2080's in SLI with a 3900x on a 750watt psu and everything would be fine.

Not true. The 2080 draws ~ 250 watts. he still has "400" watts left. That CPU, even overclocked wont touch 100. I dont care how much RGB they have, its not gonna draw 300watts. Download aida64. Run the stress test. If your temps exceed 80c, you have a cooling issue. I would suggest reinstalling your CPU cooler and seeing if the issue persists.

There will be almost no difference unless you're paying some stupid rate for electricity. Which ebay site do you use? ebay.ca/ebay.com etc?

Not a lack of wattage. Is your CPU shutting down from thermal limits?

To me, it looks like you don't need a 3950x, or a 3900x. I bought a 2700, and while using resolve, running 3vm's and a bunch of background tasks I'm hard pressed to keep the CPU stable at 100%. Don't get me wrong, it will spike there for a second or two at a time, but it wont hold 100% constantly. Maybe a 3900x would be useful if you setup a VM for a Plex server, and another for PiHole or something. EDIT: CPU usage other then rendering video...
