And the 1 time that it does recognize it, it's unbearably slow, to the point that it freezes my folders/explorer.exe. the phone will still charge and windows will make a system sound that acknowledges something was plugged in. device manager will also show the phone under "portable devices", but i can't transfer any files to/from the PC.

i've tried two other computers, one with windows 8 and another one with windows 10, and both recognized the phone immediately and was able to transfer files seamlessly (even without installing/updating any drivers). so i know it's not the phone and not the cable. it's unlikely due to the version of windows or drivers. So what am i missing here?? anyone got any ideas?

other things i've tried after searching online:
-used different USB ports on the computer.
-updated all drivers on the computer for the phone
-made sure the phone was on MTP file transfer protocol
-enabled developer mode and usb debug
-airplane mode when plugged in
-installed windows media feature pack
Plug it in and uninstall the device and all related drivers from device manager.

Couple of things I am liking from CES:

Asrock STX size motherboard for AMD. Perfect for AMD APU's. Ryzen 2 APU's would make a great esports/console killer.






And this MITX case from Lian Li. Comes with a handle.

well decided to have some fun with new build:

-added another 16GB of 3600 ddr4 g.skill for a total of 32GB
-Added another vertical evga 140mm fan since I had some space, with a little bit of drilling..
-Delid the 8700k with some thermal griz and hitting 5.2Ghz @ 1.360V with thermals under 80C

My question is, is it normal for the clock speed to decrease when CPU is underload? When I run cinebench, my clock speed drop to around 4.5-4.6 ghz.

TIA
Are you sure your not thermal throttling?

If there's not enough voltage, it will also throttle down.

Overclocking definitely takes a lot more effort to prevent throttling. You may be able to hit high numbers at idle, but what matters is what it runs at under various loads, and the temperature/voltages it draws under those loads.

Ya.. I read on some more tutorials and I missed some settings in the BIOS. Now it is running 5ghz under load no problem.

5.2ghz.. thats very good. Online forums say to keep it under 1.4V. You worried that 1.36 is kinda close to 1.4?

Not really.. If my thermals were higher I'd be a little worried, but I can't break 80C. 1.4 is considered the max for 24/7 use.

It depends on your situation. I have been moving my computer a fair bit. Current SFF cases are too expensive. 3 to 500 for something like the dan A4 NCASE M1 or Louqe ghost S1 is just too much for a case.

The SSD and HDD is from my pervious desktop. I was going to get the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 pair with GIGABYTE B450M DS3H Socket AM4 but Canada Computer doesn't have any in stock locally and I kinda of need this build before I go on vacation in mid Feb. It will take too long for them to ship the items, same with buying online.

Is mostly for video and sometimes casual gaming. Should be more than enough for my needs.

Thinking about upgrading my computer again and I'm thinking of just upgrading my video card to either the 2070 or whatever non RTX Nvidia announces in the coming weeks.

Current setup is:
CPU: i5 4670k
MOBO: Gigabyte Z87MX-D3H
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: ASUS GTX 770
SOUNDCARD: Asus Xonar DGX
SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB

thinking about streaming gameplay on twitch and if I do should I just build a new computer with a i7/i9 or will my i5 suffice?

you're gpu can encode so if you have a pretty good GPU it'll take the load off your i5 for now on streaming...

^^^


i7 8700k would be decent upgrade with gpu...last a few years imo.

Depends on your budget. If you are upgrading your GPU, I would upgrade your CPU too.
i7 8700k or i7 9700k are very good CPUs that arent too expensive.
Like what Mr.Money said, it will last you for a while.

But not sure if your motherboard supports the chip...

Hmm if I upgrade my CPU as well I might as well just build a whole new computer since I'll need to get a motherboard as well.

Was hoping to keep it to about the price of a 2070 in total for my upgrade lol
