I have a Z97-A and a 980.

How can I use mobo graphics to dual screen to a VGA monitor while I use discrete for DVI?

I got dozens of free monitors from a place for free but all are VGA.

I know I can buy an hdmi adapter but I would like to get this working sooner than tomorrow.

>>58923667
Does your 980 have VGA?

in regards to this question, if it's normal then how come sometimes my cpu or ram gets so overrused that the game crashes or my computer crashes?

How do I download images from 4chan keeping the original file name?

>>58923807
4chan X lets you do that I think

>>58923806
that resource usage is normal. the crashing is not.

update OS and drivers.
check temps.
monitor resources to see if the game actually eats up all the RAM over time or not.

>>58923818
yep, there's a DL button next to the filename.

>>58923494

please respond

4chan X is also great for its many other features, you should definitely have it no matter what. I personally can't stand browsing 4chan without it.

>try to edit config file on Linux distro using basic editor

Why?

>>58923891
Sublime accessed it as sudo which is why it prompted the password, the other assumed read-only mode since fuck modifying files without sudo

When I use 'npm start' to start up Wire in Linux I get another window open in the app window (with source and shit) which I have to close.

How do I prevent this or autoclose that window on startup?

>>58923967
That makes sense, but how does sublime have sudo access?

>>58923873
they're IPS displays if that matters

>>58923999
holy fuck youre retarded, you gave it root access

>>58923999
simple, it reads the permissions it needs and opens itself in sudo (if needed) which then prompts for your authentication (password) and proceeds to open the file with read and write permissions.

Has anyone ever had to recover deleted files from a Seagate Central external HD or any NAS? The drive is read as a folder and not a disk so no file recovery program I've tried will detect it.

check specs online by googling model name, and get the motherboard model number then google that + cpu support.
normally it can support the whole range of CPUs that have the same socket, sometimes a BIOS update is needed.

no on the job experience, and i dont have a good enough knowledge base to get an entry level job in IT. is an a+ certification the best starting point?

I have a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD in AHCI. I'm planning on upgrading to two 500GB HDD in RAID. How do I do this?

how often should i defragment my hard drive? assuming i use my computer 8+ hours a day
also what other kinds of maintenance should be done on my computer?

How do you assess the overall speed of a chip based on clock speed, cores, and threads? For example, a new i5 is like 3.8 GHz 4 cores and the Ryzen 1600x is 3.4 GHz 6 cores. So Ryzen is faster?

Speeds from memory, so they may be off.

>>58924179
a+ is networking, there's a lot more to IT than that.
what are you interested in?

>>58924199
Which RAID exactly and what'd the resulting setup look like?
But basically it's just plugging in another drive and selecting the right option and drive in BIOS.

>>58924200
Windows does that automatically for you unless you turned it off.

>>58924236
You dont. You benchmark them and get real life performance results.

Is it possible for a graphics card to have poor colour output? Don't know how to put it in words but every monitor and TV screen I've attached to the RX 470 I got about a month back seems to have either been too yellow-ish or too dark, washed out, or just seem off, even after calibrating etc.

Could it possibly be a problem with the HDMI input? Would using DP possibly fix this?

>>58924298
>Could it possibly be a problem with the HDMI input? Would using DP possibly fix this?
maybe. try the other outputs first if you have cable.
do you have access to a different GPU to compare?

>>58924238
Gonna move to RAID 0. I heard switching from AHCI to RAID is difficult without starting all over again. Would I be able to image my boot drive and put that in my RAID array?

>>58924338
why the fuck would you RAID0 two hard drives when you have an SSD? that's a massive downgrade.

>without starting all over again
what?

in mysql if create a table and i have a row where i want the user to input either 2 or 3 characters (state and territory codes) can i do it with anything other than VARCHAR (3)? i want it be like CHAR (2-3) or something

Question. -. ...Would a 2.8 GHZ to a 3.8 GHZ Processor makes any gaming improvement (FPS Increase) or should I stick with wot I got...

>>58924338
Don't RAID 0, dumbass.

>>58924355
Ghz doesnt mean shit

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth

>>58924355
only if they're the same otherwise (core count, family and stepping, cache size, etc)
clock frequency means very little these days

>>58924355
yes and no, more clock cycles is better for some applications but games that are cpu intensive need more that just clockspeed

>>58924366

RAID0 two SSD. Is that not possible?

>>58924403
It's possible, it's just dumb.

>>58924400
>terrible argument
no, it's completely fucking relevant because he didnt mention model names and that link explains it very well, and there's sources at the bottom you blind cunt

i have an asus x540s laptop with a strange issue.

it won't switch to battery power when i pull the power cable out unless the battery is on 100%. if the battery is on 99% and i pull the cable out then it just dies immediately like there is no battery installed and it wont turn back on unless it's plugged in (sometimes if i hold the power button down for like a minute it will die to start but then it dies on the loading windows screen.) however if i let it charge to 100% and then pull the cable out then it will switch to battery power and run for 5-6 hours like it's supposed to.

anyone know what could be causing this? i replaced the battery with a brand new one and formatted and installed a fresh copy of windows 10 and the problem persists

>>58924403
it's possible but you didnt said RAID two SSD you said RAID two HARD DRIVES

>>58924418
no it's not, SSDs are far more reliable than Hard drives so RAID0 is viable

>>58924418
Why so. Is there no speed benefit?

>>58924236
Big no there. You basically can't use any of those stats to compare, especially between AMD and intel. The way they do shit is so different you pretty much just have to pop them in a PC and do direct comparisons

>>58924441
>far more reliable than Hard drives

You mean slightly more reliable. If you take out damage to external drives/laptops from moving parts, it's almost even.

>>58924441
My slip up. I still mistakenly call them hard drives out of old habit.

The card has only HDMI and DP ports and I have neither a DP cable or monitor. I've got a rather poor picture here, but it doesn't show it that well, up close it's very noticeable and off putting.

I thought it might have been a problem with the monitor (Asus VX239H) and had it returned, but I'm starting to doubt whether that was actually the source of the problem, as connecting it to the TV seems to have the same problems.

would a subaru forester or a honda civic make a better car for a /g/entooman

>>58924452
There is, but it doesn't actually translate into any meaningful difference to the user. HDDs are slow as balls and have horrible random access times. Taking an SSD and doubling it's speed doesn't really do much for most applications. It's like the m.2 drives that blow away the sata 3 stat aren't nearly worth the price premium to 99% of people. And raid introduces some level of increased risk/incompatibility, plus it means you're going to limit your drive selection to something exactly the same size as your last one. I just wouldn't bother.

how do i downgrade palemoon? i just updated it and now treestyle tabs doesn't work. fuck that noise.

>>58924466
>You mean slightly more reliable
no
>If you take out damage to external drives/laptops from moving parts
not an argument because you cant dismiss the moving parts

>>58924471
ok. and to answer your questino, you have to make an image of your current partition and store that on your HDD, then add the second SSD and setup RAID, then clone the OS image onto the RAID then expand that partition to the full size of your RAID (500gb -> 1TB for raid0)

>>58924476
what am i supposed to look for/at

>>58924500
>>>/o/

>>58924452
for hard drives there's zero benefit

for SSDs there's a big boost to transfer speeds.

>>58924561
Can a 980 use a simple DVI to VGA adapter or does it not have analog output on the DVI ports?

>>58924582
it should, i dont remember having to do anything special when i setup RAID several years ago. Your mobo should report it as a single drive to the OS.

>>58924540
>not an argument because you cant dismiss the moving parts

I'm not dismissing it. I'm saying that even with that taken into account, there's not as much of a difference in failure rates as people assume. In a desktop there's even less. And SSDs actually have more sectors go bad than HDDs do.

>>58924238
>a+ is networking
it seemed a lot more comprehensive than that, the exam guide covers hardware and OSs too, even mobile devices

>what are you interested in?
there was a kid at my old job that worked under the senior IT manager, before i left he was in the process of updating all the computers there with better equipment, he also came down a lot to help troubleshoot and fix the computers. im interested in a position like that, something inhouse where i could work under a more experienced person to develop my skills. eventually id like to be the sole person responsible for for network and server upkeep for a small(er) business. i dont have the knowledge to determine the common name for a position like that.

no. you cant go from HDMI to VGA without a bigger box converter because Digital -> Analog needs a bunch of extra shit.

Probably not. The dvi to vga only works if ithe card's outputting an analog signal. HDMI probably wouldn't

>>58924674
>>58924676
>>58924678
I guess it would be better to just get a displayport to VGA cable, then?
It's just a temporal solution while I get a new monitor, and my GPU won't have VGA.

>>58924689
DisplayPort is also digital only and needs a big box converter.

but it will be fine whatever you choose

>>58924773
That is a picture, not a link. If it's an active adapter then yes. Although the cheap ones tend to be unreliable

>>58924653
HDMI to DVI-D has no signal conversion, so as long as the VGA conversion is working it should be fine.

So on this site, when I try to enlarge an image it constantly fucks up because of the anchoring. If the image is in the middle of my screen, it anchors the top of the image, so the image enlarges down on my screen.

BUT, if I scroll down a little bit, and the image is near the top of my screen, the image is anchored at the BOTTOM, so it enlarges up, and I have to scroll all the way back up to view the image. Same thing happens when I click to shrink it again so I constantly lose my place and have to scroll around.

This only started happening a few days ago. What is this shit. Does anyone else get this problem? I know it seems a little trivial but it's really annoying.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

>>58924602
It only has 1 dvi port and I have it plugged into my main monitor.

>>58924861
It literally isn't converting anything. If it's HDMI to DVI-D it's an adapter, not a converter.

>>58925012

>>58925012

>>58925022
It's not necessarily the cause but it's a possibility. Make sure all your extensions and scripts are up to date as well, clear cache and cookies too if that doesn't work. Or if someone on the newest chrome can confirm if it's happening to them or not, it could eliminate possible causes.

>>58925066
I wouldn't even know what to search for to see if anyone else has it. "Embedded image anchoring problems" don't exactly bring anything relevant back. I think it's probably too niche of a problem

Choose the "Try Lubuntu" option from the boot menu so that you get a working desktop.

Choose "start menu" -> "system tools" -> "LXTerminal"

At the console prompt, type:

Then run the installer icon from the desktop ("Install Lubuntu 16.10").

I've absolutely zero experience with this stuff, but my first thought is to simply divide both sides by cos(...) when it isn't equal to zero. Is this valid or stupidly wrong?

god damn this is annoying

so my OS has been having some annoying as fuck random errors, such as not being able to open folders almost every time I boot, not being able to open several programs even after reinstalling them, windows settings crashing when I try to do certain things like creating a new partition on my hard drive or trying to reset my operating system.

now what I'm trying to do is reinstall windows. when I boot from my windows 8 disk and try to install it tells me to boot windows as normal then run it, so I do that, but then I get pic related when I try to do so.

basically for some fucking reason I can't reinstall windows and for some bumfuck retarded reason I can't install from booting off the fucking disk which is the most retarded shit I've ever heard of.

why are my fonts on web browsers so small on linux by default? is there a way to change this in fontconfig? thank u

>>58929142
yes and yes
the 3.0 ports on boards that have it work the same way, a controller attached to the pcie bus
the only difference is that one is soldered onto the motherboard and wired in permanently, and the other is on a daughterboard

>>58929142
I would imagine so, if the card has a controller on it. And PCIe x1 (as in the picture) has a throughput of 984 Megabytes per second (PCIe v3) which will be enough for Usb 3, which is specced at 625 MB/s

Obviously all ports cant do that at the same time continuously but you wouldn't see that in any normal use anyway.

I'll be migrating from Win7 to GNU/Linux and until that installation is set up and working properly, I can't delete windows because I'll be actively using it for work.

My current plan is

1. free up one of the 1TB drives, install Debian on a partition smaller than 500gb
2. set up everything, verify it's working.
3. create disk image of windows partition (as backup) save on rest of TB drive
4. create disk image of debian partition
5. format 500GB, move debian there, verify it's working again
6. delete win backup, format one data hdd to ext4, move all files there, format the other, organize files as intended.


Any ideas for a more elegant solution?
will the disk image copying work properly?

Come on, anyone?

I'm a fucking retard, and since I just got my own apartment, I figured I should buy a tv and some speakers (pref 5.1 surround) so I can watch movies and listen to music as I please.

In any case, since I have decent laptop (and my gaming setup, but nvm that), I was wondering if I'd buy a smart tv, and a 5.1 home cinema system, could I hook up my laptop and watch movies on the tv as well as get sound out of my home cinema system, if I have a connection between the laptop-tv and tv-surround system? I assume I could, but I'm a bit worried the sound might drop out or bug somehow.

>>58931455
the usual way is like this;
source---->receiver---->tv

the source can be anything, laptop, game console, standalone bluray/dvd player, etc
the receiver pulls the audio out of the hdmi signal, and passes the video on to the tv

it is common to connect a laptop or other computer like this, you should have no problems

>>58931455
Should work if laptop has HDMI. May need to use 3.5mm for audio if you don't want to spend a lot. You'll get annoyed by input latency on the tv every time you touch the cursor. Don't use a subwoofer in an apartment. Get a seat kicker if you want that. You can be frugal with just two *good* speakers instead of five shits, and an amp or receiver to power them.

So I got the PS4 wireless usb adapter in the mail today, but after I auto-downloaded the software then paired it to my PS4 controller, it acts really weird in game.

Sometimes I can't use the up direction on my d-pad, and in every game my camera is spinning out of control. What can I do about this?

R9 280X vapor-x died on me
Should I remove the heatsink and let it sit in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°? It's 3 year old (1 year out of warranty) and it just started dying on me one day, it's been out in the open for about 3 days now and I have a new card coming (equivalent price, much newer) but there's another PC I could use it on, with a really old HD 4xxx series card that is on its deathbed

The drive would be limited to the speeds of sata 2 connector which is ~200 mb/s.
Thats not really that much faster then a platter drive.

Anyhow, where did you get the 200? It's 300 isn't it

To anyone else who might be willing to answer my sq, let me rephrase it - if I put an SSD in a machine which has SATA2, would there be any performance difference between a fancy speedy one and one whose read and write speeds are just about those of SATA2 itself?

>>58932842
If you have a sata2 header on your motherboard, how can you possibly expect to get sata3 speeds?

>>58932819
Why? This is rather funnier than supporting. Also, there is no way that the artist for this web comic gets serious attention. Look how many edits there are and how people ridicule every comic posted on this website.

What causes win 8 and never machines without SSD to get stuck at 100% disc usage after few years of constant use? Most of my uni group have bought their laptops around 2013 and they all suffer from this, while win 7 machines work just fine. I was examining that on mine before it eventually died but none of recommended solutions like disabling indexing worked.

I got this Python script off of instructables for a project I'm working on. There's three buttons, two of them work, but the third one prints "m" and "A" repeatedly, unless I have it pressed down.

I know fuckall about Python, so it's probably just a stupid problem that I can't see

>>58932914
Stop using it and it wont use the disk.

There is literally nothing wrong here

Why is Pentium being sold again? I thought that brand died after Intel Pentium 4 and cheap ass Dual Core.

>>58932932
no, it's not. It was pain to use it and I remember it working at 40% while being new.

>>58932971
Your disk will only be used when you tell your system to use the disk. If you want disk usage to stop for what ever retarded reason, then stop making your system use things on the disk
Clearly you are doing things that are telling it to use the disk

Your argument is aken to the "why am i using ram" """""problem""""".

With an i5 (older one) and a gtx 970 how many years do you think I will be able to run games on high, 1080p and decent fps?

>inb4 fuck off to /v/
Please don't send me to that shithole.

>>58932924
pls respond

>>58932864
I don't expect SATA3 speeds, I'm just wondering whether an SSD, let's call it A, capable of 500 MB/s, and B, capable of 300, would be both equally cut to 300 flat on a 300 interface, or would B be even somewhat slower than that.

>Your disk will only be used when you tell your system to use the disk.
then why windows is using 100% of it while idle just after restart with autostart cleared?

How do I turn off the autoupdate on 4chan x? The counter is annoying and I'd like to control when the thread updates, not have it do it automatically. But from what I can tell the autoupdate is tied to the feature that also does the update button. How do I fix this?

>>58933081
You have things running in the background that are taking care of the things you told it to do when you were using it

>>58932939
they needed to name their current lower-tier CPUs somehow, so why not to re-use an already familiar brand?

well isn't it like if car capable of 200MPH going on a road with speed limit of 50 would be going 50, and a car capable of 50 would going 40 or smth

Mayble it doesn't supports xinput

They never stopped making Pentiums and Celerons.

Can my pc run 1440p? At the moment theres nothing I can't play on High or Ultra but I'm not sure how much of an impact the extra resolution will have on games.

>>58933584
Not bother using a VPN. There's probably something wrong with the configuration of that.

>>58933612
Not on a 390

>>58933612
>run 1440p
Sure, 4k too, hell if the ports would support it, 100k
>can I run 1440p at 60 fps on x settings
Now that's a better question
No you can't on ultra/high, on medium, yes probably, maybe tweaking some settings

What are god tier books for CS related math?
I'm trying to get into more interesting stuff but I can't read advanced algebra.

>>58933682
why is CS related math important

do you actually need it in the real world (if you dont do research?)

>>58933712
I want to be able to better understand the things I'm working with.
Research is also the main way up at the companies I've solicited at.
I don't want to get stuck in the codemonkey hellhole.

3 pins = +12, GND, sensor
4 pins = +12, GND, sensor, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
3 pins fans speed can be controlled, but only by voltage.

Fuck, Old image from before blackfriday. Now I Crossfire 2x R9 R90.

I was thinking about buying this monitor https://www.amazon.de/AOC-AGON-AG241QX-8Zoll-1000/dp/B01LT04C30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486805612&sr=8-1&keywords=aoc+ag241qx

Should I just get a 1080p version then? the 3DMark Demo on steam said I was 4K ready so thought 1440p shouldn't be much of a problem. Also I could play The Forest on 3200x1800 with no fps drops, noticed this when the game changed to that resolution after an update. ( I know my monitor can't display this but doesn't the computer render everything as if I did?)

>>58933823
I went to a vocational university.
While I now have more practical experience in programming, I lack the understanding to get into more complicated fields.
I just want some effective material for self-study.

>1440p@144hz
doubt that friendo, unless you plan on going medium on every new game to release
although buying a better monitor is a smarter choice than buying 1080p monitor now and having a good quality yet shitty resolution monitor for the next 5 or so years even when you change your graphics cards for ones that could run the new monitor at full

Is C++ a good language to learn as a starter and to move on to other things? I was recently gifted a Udemy course that teaches C++ by making games with unreal and the reviews seem like the course is worth it. Is this a waste of time or should I give it a shot?

>>58933881
I guess, Well I'm not hoping for 144Hz really, I just want over 60Hz mostly because of this shitty monitor I have now tears when scrolling text, I can't watch Netflix on it because half of the screen lags behind. I mostly use my tv at the moment for all games but Dota and CS.

Can run fallout 4 on ultra too and that's my newest game.
