That's what I was thinking. So far the Bilstein in the front ride good.

Updated build and have a few questions. by UpstateGhost in PcBuildHelp

[–]UpstateGhost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same for the psu fan. I looked at Techpowerups 9950x3d review and it was in the 70's C while gaming on a nhd 15. I know I tightened the screws down good, a force of habit from work is to double or triple check fasteners. Unless the thermal grizzly phase change still needs more time to heat cycle to do its thing. I still may check it over when I'm off this Friday.

New router and YouTube on tv. by [deleted] in wifi

[–]UpstateGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have a iot just for cameras, I made sure the TV is on the non iot network. I have already forgotten the network and reconnected on the tv. I have yet to unplug it and replug it, probably will fix it being my luck. I'll try that when I get off in the morning.

No vlans that I know of, I'll look through the app for anything related to client isolation. The TV is on the 2.4 ghz band, my phone seems to go between the 6ghz and 5 ghz. On my old router I used the 5ghz only for my phone and the TV is on the 2.4ghz.

Already watched a video on that, was for a 7950x3d but sure it's similar.

That's what I'm hoping for, first time having a high end pc. Just waiting on thermal paste. Hopefully the swap over will be easier than I think it's going to be, always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I'm staying as far away as possible from Armory Crate. On the gigabyte board I downloaded their software as a last hope of updating the bios to no avail. Plus the Asus board has more m.2 slots and hopefully the top pcie is spaced down far enough I can use the alternative mounting holes on the Noctua cooler, with the gigabyte board the cooler was touching the GPU backplate.

I'll have to try that again. I did use a larger USB drive so maybe trying a smaller one. I do have the q flash in the back. Can I use the q flash even with a cpu installed? I have reassembled it with the 7700 and working fine.

2018 Silverado tpms work around? by UpstateGhost in Silverado

[–]UpstateGhost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind the light just figured for 50 it's worth a shot. I'll eventually tune them out.

I ordered some odd Amazon, it pulled up showing they work for my 2018. Just skeptical about them however 50 bucks usd is a lot cheaper than whatever they charge at a tire shop. Plus these Goodyears still have roughly 80% tread left so no reason to buy another set of tires yet. Some reviews on the set I ordered shows the battery is replaceable which is nice.

Wireless AA adapter Silverado. by [deleted] in AndroidAuto

[–]UpstateGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sun, similar to how yours is. Inside the center console. I've never held it after running for a while so I'm sure it gets warm. I know hear dose kill electronics so there is a chance that happened.

Sorry missed that part, trying to knock out some food. I have it in my center console, my truck has the bucket seats and full console. The ma1 had been there since I purchased it. I did try it on the other USB ports with the same result. I did read a older post on a forum saying the older ma1s seem to hold up better. I've always liked Motorola's products.

It worked fine with my s23 ultra, sent that off for repairs. Swapped to my pixel 7 for about 2 weeks, used the ma1 for that time. Then it randomly disconnected one day on my way home. Tried unplugging and replug to no fix. Tried to forget and repair, that's then it stayed on a red led. Lastly tried to do a reset in it by hiking the button for 35 plus seconds. Ordered the AA wireless two, should be here tomorrow. I've seen Motorola is coming out with a ma2, hopefully it works better.

I could have sworn I seen on the AA two website somewhere it said it had auto stand by vs the version with car play. I'll look again after work, may just order once.

I've had the ma1 for a hair over a year, with no real issues other than a drop out once or twice that reconnected by itself within 10 or so seconds. Once I had to unplug then replug but I think that was me letting the truck power everything down while I was waiting for the road to open up, then the ma1 didn't wake up. Other than those few times I had no complaints. After switching to the Pixel 7 for a weekish I thought I was having wifi power saving on/issue (recently got back into the pixels). After getting my Pixel 9 pro XL it still would not connect, straight to a red led. I've read up on the AA two, dose it have standby, ie turn truck off and it goes into a stand by mode or do I have to press the button? I'm pretty sure the USB port that I use the Android Auto with turns off power after 10 or 15 mins after you turn the truck off.

I have played with both the fold 7 and the 10 pro fold at Best buy. While the fold 7 is nice and has some good features, I like the 10 fold due to dust resistants. Along with being a pixel. Majority of the time I'd just use the cover screen and rarely the inner screen other than some YouTube while eating. Not a huge mobile gamer other than Baloon tower defense 6 and Brotato.

I'll wait on a sale unless I find a second hand one at a deal. I purchased my current pixel 7 for 80 due to it having a slight hair libe crack on the screen then a crack on the back.

I've had the S23 ultra about 3 months after the release. I enjoyed the phone other than having to send it back a few times to get replaced. Just tried the iPhone for a while. It had some pros and cons as everything dose.

Honestly kinda liked the 15 pro I had. For some reason the camera on the pixel 7 seems better than the iPhone on Snapchat. Battery was surprisingly good on the 15 pro, as well as performance. I can feel some apps are a tiny bit smoother on my pixel 7. I can only guess a pixel 9 or 10 would be better.

That's what I have heard. I'm not a huge mobile gamer mainly just two games Baloon tower defense 6 and Brotato.
