Is there a single good resource on what the optimal balance between speed and timings for ram? Are faster speeds better, regardless of timings, or is it more complex?

bumping from previous thread.

Someone suggested a custom Sager but that seems like complete overkill, most of the tasks I'm doing fine on a Satellite a500-13f, it's mainly an issue on portability and battery-life, which was why I considered getting a thinkpad from all the praise it got here.

What? How many cables do you have hanging there?

GPUs can be pretty heavy already.
The GPU itself doesn't care, but the PCIe slot might if you push it down even further.

I see, thank you.

I am using a mini ITX board and a small form factor case. I don't have especially much room, I had no intention to OC, and I only needed one GPU so I didn't need anything more than that.
In the case, the GPU sits right behind the PSU, and the wires coming off of the PSU come out at a particular angle that they press against the GPU and then curve upward to go where they need to go. Like so, basically. Because of where the motherboard and PSU are mounted in the case it is impossible to fit them anywhere further away from eachother.

>>52309342
are you sure you mounted the PSU correctly?
what case is it, how did others put it together?

My desktop freezes when I run two or more programs that use up a lot of my video memory say for example a videogame and youtube videos at the same time. The display just freezes and the sound buzzes in a loop. I think it has something to do with my videocard which is a 2 year old 5670 because it never happened when I was using my CPU's integrated graphics. I heard that this can happen when the card gets too hot and it looks like my card hovers at 46°C, is this too hot?

no, thats a normal temperature

I spend $100 a month for 105 mb download in Atlanta. When I speedtest, I'm only reaching speeds of 40 mb (plugged in) and 10mb wireless, so Comcast is screwing me.

>>52309903
It's not about lightweight as much as good. There aren't many projects that make their own encoding software. Most use ffmpeg as a library instead of doing the work themselves. Handbrake is another good option, and instead of just using stick ffmpeg, maintains a fork, but had gone on long enough that is distinctly different now. Probably easier to start with that.

Handbrake or vanilla ffmpeg

Data usage recorded by your phone may differ slightly from that recorded by your actual data provider. Check with your data provider for an accurate reading

Is there any way I can install complete (heavyweight) themes on GNU Icecat?

>>52310938
but my provider doesn't offer anything that could help me manage the data limit, actually they want me to go over the data cap so they can charge me more.

I just want to set a limit for 19 GB in 3 months, nothing more (I got 20 GB promo for 19€ to use in 3 months, if I consume all the 20 GB then they charge me 9€ for 3 GB more then they cut me off after these are gone, I want to prevent them charging me extra 9€).

>>52310945
I tried already many times but it won't let me select today, it goes month by month, is there a way to explicitly set the limit? like not guessing from the graph. Besides, when I close the settings it just resets, the limit is ignored.

>>52311038
click "ciclo utilizzo"
then on bottom something like "custom cycle", then it lets you select your cycle date.

I was thinking of downsizing my computer to a SFF mATX, and one thing that prevents me from downsizing all the way to an ITX build is my capture card (Elgato HD60 Pro).

Now call me OCD, as 95% of games are unaffected by this, but wary of my main PCIe slot downclocking(?) from x16 to x8, and for most ATX motherboards, even using the furthest lane with a x1 card, will downclock it to x8.

My question is, will populating the furthest PCIe lane on most mATX motherboards downclock the main lane to x8. There doesn't seem to be much documentation for most motherboards.

Granted, I don't know the specifics, but all sound needs to be processed, whether through a microchip or a traditional tube, but the difference being is that all sound is inherently analog, ie. the wavelength continuous and not discrete 1's and 0's. So theoretically, tube amps have a better sound signature than a traditional microchip opamp.

However, that being said, tubes do 'color' the sound, so if you want accuracy, you would never use a tube amp, nor would you ever find one in a professional recording studio.

My mobo doesn't completely line up with all the standoffs on the case. Is this bad or will it steadily line up as I screw it in.

Hi guys, I need some advice.
I bought a 4690k, NZXT s340, and a Corsair H80i GT recently and I am looking for an ATX mobo that has to be black or at least with no red or blue coloring, around $100. Green is my favorite color so I am going to put some green LED's in the case which is why i want a mobo with no color.
I would also like it if I dont have to update the bios.
Can you guys recommend me something that fits my criteria.
Much appreciated

I want to build a new PC, and I have an 1155 mITX board around. I'd like to buy a used 3570k and some cheap ram to give it some life.

But then I look at the current deals on the newer processors and its tempting but more expensive because I'd need to get a new mobo as well. However, that would net new features like USB 3.1, m2 sockets, PCIE 3.0

Is refurbished the best way to go to get a business laptop/thinkpad that assuredly just works?

I have a stupid question.

The only thing(s) keeping me from going from Windows 10 to a Linux distro is these things.

1. I do enjoy gaming
1a. If someone can link a wiki on how to do a passthrough from Linux to Windows VM so I can still game, I would be grateful

2. I schedule my downloads for nighttime
2a. Again, if someone would like something like Internet Download Manager that works for Linux, again, I would be grateful.

>>52312671
1. dualboot. boot into windows whenever you want to game.
2. likely exists.

>>52312671
if its anything but old games that are very light on the GPU forget it.
check if the games you play are available for linux.

I don't know internet download manager, but jdownloader might be something similar and is multiplatform.

Was downloading FoundationDB worth it? Or will it stale quickly without updates and shit?

I'm not really sure what I'm asking either.

>>52313127
Just use PostgreSQL. It's the post complete DB.

How do you group 4chan replies to a post instead of automatically scrolling to them with 4chan X?

>>52313239
what do you mean?

like clicking the post number?

>>52313259
Yes. Clicking the replies to a post and having them show up below the post in a separate box that allows me to look at the replies like a cluster.

It was working a while ago, but my addons had to be reinstalled.

Is there a better audio CD-R burning program than Imgburn? I installed a bunch of codecs and still can't use m4a to make a CUE file....

>>52313127
Foundation is NoSQL. are you looking for a NoSQL alternative?
the ones you mentioned are all relational.
there's an ocean of nosql databases and choosing one depends on your application's needs.
if you're new to this i recommend MySQL or alternatively Maria.

Hello friends.

I currently have a GTX 760 GPU but am wanting to upgrade.

Should I purchase another 760 for cheap and go SLI or just save up for a better GPU all together? My current PSU would be able to supply enough power for SLI.

>>52310144
thank you anon

>>52313439
>and choosing one depends on your application's needs
So none of the ones I mentioned could be described as "best"?

>>52313451
if your budget is around $200, then yes buying one more 760 for SLI makes more sense than buying a single 960.

>>52313480
Postgresql is the most feature rich. it's stable and well supported.
MySQL is the industry standard for the web.
you wont go wrong either way.

>>52313561
FAT16

>>52313565
Aight, I'll just delete my copy of FoundationDB then.

>>52313561
FAT32 is pretty much the only universal one between those. Just use a mkfs.vfat on your linux machine and you should be fine.

>>52313561
just go with NTFS. supported out of the box on all 3 and doesn't have file size limits

Generally, I would recommend against them, coming from someone with a G600.

The inherent problem is that mice are traditionally gripped with the thumb and a combination of the ring finger and pinky. When you essentially add a full ten-key to the side of your mouse, you're essentially removing the area where you would grip with your thumb, requiring you to modify your grip. So unless you swear by your ass-backwards monkey paw grip, you're better off with a more ergonomic mouse with several buttons.

Take a look at some of Corsair's older offerings--they're an eyesore, but they're probably more ergonomically conducive.

Do I have to worry about this? I'm trying to make my 50 Hz TV register as a 60 Hz monitor because there is this game that runs all cutscenes on half your FPS, but the cutscenes are made to run on 30 FPS which is why they stutter when running at 25 FPS for me. Maybe I'm doing something entirely wrong here I don't know. There is no option to turn vsync off or anything like that, it's one of those weird japanese ports.

>>52314036
And I'm wondering why recommending a file system with known issues, when deleting files from linux machine.

>>52314060
Probably you don't, because your TV monitor will just ignore waves above wavelength of 1080p50, but there is the off chance it won't.

Don't take my word for it

>>52314058
make sure you have an up to date recovery. TWRP is best. through the recovery you can factory recent and flash different roms from storage or sdcard.

If the syntax is correct C will compile, but trying to access memory outside your program's own will usually be blocked by your OS of choice.

Here's a stupid question. I live with my family and connect my computer directly to the router which is downstairs. My family members complained that the wifi sucks whenever Im home using my PC (What?) so what they did was bought another router to use upstairs where all their shit is. I will be the sole user of the router downstairs while all their devices will be connected to the one upstairs. So my question is can 2 routers even be used without fucking something up? Can I expect a better wired internet connection since there's less traffic on this router?

If your router is in in router mode and is the one connected to the internet, then yes. Otherwise, if you are behind another router, don't think about port forwarding

Im not familiar with networking so that went over my head. Essentially my PC is connected by ethernet cable to a router which is connected to the modem.

Actually let me correct myself. 8 sticks is a lot of bandwidth going on, some boards are not able to handle it at a decent frequency. If you want to OC your RAM above 1600Mhz standard, you should have only four sticks.

Yes. The only thing you need to note is that if you mix ie x2 4GB sticks 1600Mhz CL9 and x2 4GB 1333Mhz CL9 All sticks will run at 1333Mhz (lowest common speed). You can create some nasty bottlenecks

No it's rated for 3.3 Ghz standard, but it usually clocks around 3.5-3.8 I can post a pic real quick off my phone.

What is a good single board computer with wifi?

It's a ancient laptop, I hope it's just a driver issue. I'm trying to rollback

I've got a supermicro X8DAi, and I want to put in dual gpu's, as well as keep my SATA3 and USB3 cards

Can not enabling an XMP profile cause memory errors on some motherboards?

I have these corsair vengeance 4x4gb sticks that were giving me loads of errors, BSOD and errorless random restarts

After reading up some I upped the voltage to 1.3 and put them from 2133 to 2400, low and behold no errors in memory diagnostic

What the fuck?

Welp, seems fine for now, Windows,update must have somehow fucked my GM45 driver.
I hope the GPU is not trying to commit sudoku

This only happens when I'm gaming, but my screens will suddenly have no signal and the sounds cut off. I don't get any response from the keyboard/mouse, but the PC is still on. I have to do a Hard Reset to get it working again.
I've used Speccy, and my CPU lingers at 68C/69C when gaming. I believe when I put the CPU in a new board, I never replaced the paste. It was a pre-built set-up, so I assume they didn't do a good job with the paste and I just created more gaps of air.

I'm wondering if this is the issue of the CPU overheating or no? I believe it'll shut off once it hits 70C.

How do I filter webm files that do and don't have sound?

>>52319968
I'm guessing you can't without downloading them first
maybe you can if you're a wizard

>>52319994
I mean on windows. I don't know which webm files do or don't have sound. Is there a filter option built into windows?

>>52320031
if there is I wouldn't know of it
I'm sure you could write a script to go through each file and add metadata to files with sound

>>52320050
thanks for replying anyways

Install gentoo

If I buy a copy of Windows 7 now for use on a new PC, will Microsoft still upgrade it to Windows 10? Could be a much cheaper option for me right now. I'm aware of the July cutoff date, but has anyone done this recently?
