power

Really more a question than a problem.? I can set at?idle on a flashed (R-Box) with a modified kernel all day and night use email, browse, do what ever I need.? The problem seems to be that when I stress the system such as utube, games, the board resets with higher frequencies.? The software is fine so with keyboard, mouse, sdd, and cooling fan, I seem to have reached the limits of the 2.5amp power supply.? Needless to say this happens whether I am running @ the regular factory flash or my special r-box with a 2.112 kernel.? I think maybe a 3amp power supple as some other new boards are showing up with ie

If you are a heavy user, then a 5V/3A power adpater is recommended.

We tried the 5V/3A power adapter for the board mounted with two USB hard disks,

playing 4k videos in the mean time. It's a lot better.

Thanks busybee: New power supply arrives today.? Will let everyone know if this causes a problem.? Heavy user yes, adding extras other than usb yes, and the grand children with games and 4K?movie clips are?loving it when it has been up.

Thanks again feel better about this decision.
