I didn't meant the cable, I was talking about the power supply, thought that's called charger? The thing you plug into the power outlet and connect the cable to.

Is it safe to defrag the boot partition on the SSD? I keep hearing you should never defrag SSD[/QUOTE]
Good god why do you have a page file that's half the size of your SSD?

IIRC page files in Windows are like swap space in Linux yeah? An SSD seems like a great place for a page file since it's much faster than an HDD.
Not sure why it's so huge, though.
By default the pagefile is on C:/ and the same size as your ram

Isn't it for dumping the ram after a bluescreen?

Yeah I'd rather not have my system or application crash due to out or memory errors even if it's unlikely with the amount of RAM I have
If i'm looking to get help diagnosing system crashes, is it better to post here, post in the QQTDDAT thread, or a new thread?
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;50504210]Isn't it for dumping the ram after a bluescreen?[/QUOTE]
Not sure why this is getting disagrees, Windows will flat out refuse to create even a mini dump if you don't have a pagefile.
Default pagefile size is also not the same as RAM, I have 24 and Windows set the page file to 4. On my shitty 1 GiB ec2 Windows server it set the page file to 8, on a 20 GiB disk.
Thing is, with enough ram, modern windows, especially 10, will barely page anything. So Might as well have the PF there for tight ram moments.

As far as I know, sure a page file on an SSD is faster than on a HDD, however that also means you have a lot more read/writes to the SSD, which will cut down on it's lifetime. If that's really worth the little performance boost you'd get, that's your decision. Also not sure if it's still up to date, but I remember that it was generally advised to put the pagefile on a different harddrive than the one the OS is on. And I'd guess most people only have one SSD yet, not sure.
However more RAM is in any case the better option.
I wouldn't really worry about SSD life honestly. Put it on the SSD and enjoy the better performance.

Ah that's true, I forgot about the read/write limit of SSD's. That said, I think modern SSD's would probably be fine.

The problem is that the way windows handles it sucks. It's just space that gets consumed. Page files are good to have, but a 1:1 ratio with no upper cap is just dumb. The OS doesn't free up the file if it's not using it, which is counterproductive.

I'm actually down to 2 right now. I have to constantly choose whether to charge my phone, my vape, Bluetooth earbuds, or power the keyboard on my windows box.
I've had a pagefile on my OS SSD since 2012 only has 60TB written.

It'd be kinda silly for that space not to be available when it needs it. Is an 8GB file really that big of a deal in the age of cheap 1TB hard drives?

It used to be 16, and is currently 32GB for me. Even with a 250GB SSD that's enough to be obnoxious. What practical reasons are there for a swap space to be exactly equivalent to RAM? I can't think of any good ones.

You can manually definite page file sizes. I keep mine around 4 GB despite having 24 GB of RAM. :v:
Its good to have something there, but I don't think I've ever hit it in years, not since I've had 8 anyway.

You're also wearing down the SSD with a page file, so the trade off is questionable.
I just keep a tiny 256 mb pagefile on my ssd and leave the pagefile on my mechanical disc up to system management
considering the nature of a pagefile i always leave it on the ssd
not really worried about wearing down the ssd personally
I've got an older ssd with over 50,000 hours of power on time at this point so I'd like to not wear down the ssd too much.

It's really not questionable unless you've got an ancient SSD.
Isn't the page file also where when your computer goes to sleep, it dumps everything in the RAM there? Also having it on an SSD would also make going to sleep, and waking the computer much faster.

Hibernate?
That's a separate file the same size as ram. Though it might be compressed these days.

It seems like there is a bottleneck somewhere with my encoding. I can encode 1440p CRF 20 at medium preset at 90FRAMES PER SECOND. But if I scale it to 1920x1080 it sits at 40.
So to help with this, I bid on a used 750 Ti on ebay. I think some sort of GPU will provide some sort of help here as well as letting me test OBS.
Edit nevermind, in a few minutes it sat at 30%, but like 95% usage over all cores interestingly. But it seems I can't encode 1080p or 720p fast enough, it's so annoying.
Well they all work.

Why not just have enough RAM? Either way I'm hitting a hard barrier.

Hibernation is another enormous file, which I also disable, particularly on desktops. Shut it off, or go to sleep. Hibernation is stupid for all but a handful of specific uses.
