Yeah, you just need another AP.

It was also a plus. Helped with the master bath WiFi. Didn't notice how bad it was in that room.

Don't want to post in movie and tv board.

But I'm becoming addicted to Star Trek. I go to sleep every night to lore videos, etc.

Guess I'm becoming my Grandpaw.

If I had a freesync monitor I would have swapped those out for my 2080. I may still swap one into my ITX build instead of my 1070 and dump the two extra cards

Going to be doing a little upgrade to my HTPC when I get home from work today.

Going from this:
PCPartPicker Part List: LINK

CPU: Intel Core i5-8500 3 GHz 6-Core OEM/Tray Processor
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG C7 40.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Node 202 HTPC Case
Power Supply: Corsair SF 450 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply
To this:

CPU: Intel Core i5-8500T 2.1 GHz 6-Core OEM/Tray Processor
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG C7 40.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 64 8 GB Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Node 202 HTPC Case
Power Supply: Silverstone 600 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply

I'll lose some frames going from the 8500 to the 8500t, but the lower power and heat will really be nice with that vega 64, which should give me a nice boost in frames

Where you got this?

Would love that for my NAS. I still need Intel CPUs just for certain functions to work correctly in FreeNAS.

I actually traded a guy on Reddit for my 8500 plus cash on his end

I've been running it with my GTX 1070 for a little bit now and man, that machine sips power for the performance it puts out

What are some things I can download on iptorrents to start boosting my ratio? I haven't downloaded anything yet since I haven't needed to, but I want to start bumping my ratio up just to get a head start

These fckking G5s? + that cube hub is a nightmare.

It doesn't handle sleep well. Hard to wake up.

Disney collection is #1. It's HUGE though. Make sure you have unlimited bandwidth from ISP before tackling that.

Next click browse -> go below the search box with the larger list -> click the red arrow to sort on downloaded -> get a few of the highest downloaded

After that get popular (most downloaded) free leaches that you would like to have in your library. They will be larger than normal so be aware.

I have kids, yes. However, it is known to get the top torrents that are downloaded to get the ratio up. You don't even have to be interested in them.
