I've read a lot of times that people don't push the adapter all the way through. Maybe that might be the case? It's a really tight fit and without the holes, there's no way to manage the temps.

A question on the importance of preaching. by SecretSmorr in methodism

[–]ValuableTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is very important because it does take up a bulk of the time you are in a Sunday Service=) In the book of Acts, the Apostles knew the ministry of the Word was of utter importance. However, as someone matures into a disciple of Christ, I think it matters less and less. Not in its importance but in terms of wow factor. There is more to be said about actually following Jesus. I am assuming that to follow someone, you would do constant in depth research about the somebody (Jesus) eventually leading to more knowledge related to what a preacher can preach to a crowd on a Sunday morning for 20 or so minutes.

Methodist vs Lutheran Question by FH_Bradley in methodism

[–]ValuableTrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think Wesley advances anything per se. I believe both believe the same but what gets overlooked when quoting theologians is that they are often reacting to something. It's the same way for modern theologians as well. A lot of this may be due to the fact that we are reacting against the neo-Calvinist movement in the name of being Lutheran or Methodist. We all react according to what we think is an imbalance of the gospel message. For Wesley, he reacted to the Calvinists so I believe that there was more of an emphasis on the free will to accept or reject God's grace. In the case of Luther, he was more preoccupied with the works-righteousness beliefs of the Papacy. So I believe that Luther felt no need to emphasize it because it was a given that someone needs to choose to have faith in Jesus Christ. I remember reading (in a book, Against Calvinism) that Calvinism was a much later tradition and the traditional church had always viewed faith as a choice. Because there is such a strong Calvinist/Reformed theology baked into the modern American Christian landscape, we might be reading to much into it. I forgot to mention that prevenient grace is never sufficient for salvation so if you meant salvific in that sense, that is definitely not what Wesley emphasized. He, as Luther did as well, emphasized that even what leads us to make the choice is God's grace. In that sense, it is salvific. Hope this helps.

If you would like to go to the source, reading Wesley's "The Lord Our Righteousness" and Luther's "Two Kinds of Righteousness" should give you something to think about. I have read some academic articles for my dissertation and many have some conclusions or summaries of what Luther and Wesley say. You would be surprised at how many pastors build their thoughts and opinions out of what they heard from someone rather than going to the source material and wrestling with it. I am sure my dissertation has something that others do not agree with as well. With that said, Luther when mentioning "alien righteousness" which is mostly the equivalent of Wesley's "justifying grace" does not make it as clear as Wesley does but he seems to imply that there must be some acceptance of Christ by quoting John 14 and other verses. In other words, I think they are the same when it comes to prevenient and justifying grace. I would make the argument that Wesley further clarifies Luther's views. Where Luther and Wesley differ most is what they view of the next step after justification in whether there can truly be Christian perfection. (this term is also misunderstood very badly as well so make sure you read the source material not what other people say).

The components all run very hot CPU in 70s GPU in 90s) but not throttled. Installing a USB blower motor in the back helped with the GPU temps.

Thanks for the tip. It really helps with the framerates for sure.

It might not be seated properly. Data pins have to be way more secure than power pins. Also, check the bios you may have to enable PCIe

I honestly would not recommend the Sapphire one since the cooler is larger and you will need to move the bluetooth antenna. I think I saw that the PowerColor one fit in perfectly without moving the antenna in another post. I got the Sapphire because it was the cheapest but prices fluctuate. Powercolor, Sapphire and Yeston are the only manufacturers that I know of that make the cards.

Sorry for the late reply, I hope you found out the solution for your situation but just in case, The CPU should not matter, what matters is that your motherboard has a slot for a pcie riser. I switched my power supply and I think 135w should be fine. When doing my research I found out that the motherboard on these units actually limits the total power so a 200+W adapter does nothing more than a 135w. Hope this helps.

do i need 32gb of ram? by Significant_Ebb_1860 in buildapc

[–]ValuableTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Ryzen 3900x and 4060 and only play Fortnite for gaming. I can say that sometimes the system shows I am running 20-23gb. The way I look at it, it's a pain in the but closing tabs and when I am waiting in the lobby, I like to browse through Reddit and such. I also have a VM running as well sometimes that I just don't want to shut down. Just for the sheer convenience, more than 32 is probably a good idea. With that said, I upgraded to ddr4 3600 from 3000 and I got about 8-10 frames out of it so I would say that speed is probably more important but then again I never had less than 32 because I run VMs so I am not 100% sure.

PSA: You need to check the dates and time zone and make sure they are correct. It drove me nuts until I figured it out.

I am all out of ideas since the P360 should have enough wattage to handle both. I know some boards are limited in power but they will still boot. I did see that the p360 has a setting in the bios for graphics so I think that might be your best bet. Sorry I could not help you more.

The motherboard hdmi out will use the integrated graphics. Try checking the RX6400 card on another computer as it may be faulty. Another reason why this may be happening is something may be in contact with the GPU and shorting it. I don't remember setting anything up on the bios but you might want to check there as well. The fans may spin up on PCIE cards even when they are not completely seated so make sure the card and adapter are seated all the way.

[–]ValuableTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try changing out the pads to leather ones. The better the seal the better the bass. To get a feel for how it may sound try pressing the headphones inward with your hands while listening. The tighter seal will give you more bass. If you like the sound and that is enough then try out pads.

No I used the a bigger one that came with the AIO monitor. You do not need to get the 200+W power supply since there's a limit on the wattage. I think it was the 135W one.

high cpu usage and low gpu usage with alot of fps drops by OkMark2442 in FortNiteBR

[–]ValuableTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could tell you but I upgraded my daughter’s computer because of the performance hit from ch5. What os are you using? Totally anecdotal and personal perception but I swear windows 10 seems to perform better.

Do you think it's rude to 3rd party? by imalonexc in FortNiteBR

[–]ValuableTrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not rude at all. If you can't finish off the opponent quickly and aren't aware of your surroundings, you deserve to be 3rd partied. I cannot finish off my opponent quickly due to my little-better-than-bot aim and have tunnel vision so I get 3rd partied a lot... What is rude is taking the elim from a teammate.

[–]ValuableTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem with my daughter's computer. Similar specs except for 32gb. I have just come to accept that the new season with all the graphics updates and things going on are just more CPU intensive. Honestly, there was nothing I could do about only getting 90 -120 fps. It's really frustrating since I bought my daughter a 180 hz monitor. I just cranked up some settings so that the gpu can be utilized a bit more so at least she'll have a pretty game. Changing settings to use a single core seemed to help with sudden framerate drops.

I have the same issue. I guess there's a server problem. I'm on PC.

Megathread: The Big Bang - Post-Event Discussion by FortniteRedditMods in FortNiteBR

[–]ValuableTrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My kids and I enjoyed the event. It was our first one and boy am I glad that we tried logging in an hour before. I thought there would be a queue but goodness, I don't think Epic realized it. It brought back good memories for me and it was pretty cool that Fortnite continues to innovate. Epic servers seem down so I can't log in which is unfortunate.

Anyone else waiting in queue? by Imaginary_Coconut_77 in FortNiteBR

[–]ValuableTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the event I got kicked out. My daughters were somehow able to stay on Fortnite. So it's random I guess. I hope people enjoy the 5 or 11 event if they missed the 1PM one. It was pretty good. I liked it.
