Should I overclock my 6700k or under volt it and leave it stock?

I have the Asus ROG ranger z170 motherboard and out of the box, it sends 1.4v to the CPU to reach its stock boost clock of 4.2ghz. I manually set the clock to 4.2ghz and was able to undervolt to as low as 1.050v and still remain prime95/handbrake stable. Temps dropped 17C under load.

I also was able to get 4.7ghz while leaving the voltage alone (maxing out at 1.42v) stable 100% load on all threads as well. Heat is no issue, my cooler is keeping up just fine even with the higher voltage. I'm seeing 80C at a max after encoding for 12+ hours.

Other than encoding, I browse the net and play Vidya. So, over? Or under?

I'm installing Windows 8.1 update 1 after a good while of not doing so.

Tell me dudes, should I update it all the way or not update it at all? I remember using 8.1 update 1 without any updates for months and not having troubles, but still, what do you think?
Note: I don't give two shits about the botnet, I just want something more stable than 10.

I'm in a computer architecture class and I've got a homework question to convert a IEEE 754 floating point number to decimal

I've got it into binary but I don't know how to expand it and convert to decimal, could you help a brother out?

floating point 0x0C000000 -> 1.0x2^-103 binary, how get to decimal?

is plex good for playing music?

>>59209618
Assuming your conversion is right... that's already a decimal number. Unless you ended up with a 3 in binary which I'm afraid is too stupid for this thread.

>>59209759
Wait, I just literally slap that into a calculator and get a super negative number?

>>59209815
It should be a very small but positive number, with a negative exponent like that.

Is a CompTIA A+ certification worth anything? There's a non profit in my area offering a free certification course. Not in the tech field but would it look good on a resume?

>>59210364
Certifications are generally just a poor cover up for not having a degree. Better to seek out tangible and demonstrable experience.

For a while now I've been using an eGPU setup with my Thinkpad and a desktop PSU/GPU, and now that I've got enough money, I'm building my first fully-fledged desktop PC.
So, I was wondering: is there any precautions or things I should look out for when transferring the PSU/GPU to the new setup? They both work completely fine, I'm mostly asking 'cause I'm paranoid of the PSU completely frying my system or something like that since it's been in use before.

>>59212500

You want it only in your house or available anywhere? If anywhere just set up a regular web-facing home server to SSH into whenever you want, if while at home just set up a home WLAN with a router.

Available anywhere. Is there a tutorial or something I can follow to make my desktop a server? I'm on windows.

should I use a hybrid physx setup with an rx 480 and a gtx 740? or is just a hassle to set up and/or is the 740 so shit it would actually make things worse?

I have Windows 10 and set up the task bar to auto hide, but whenever I get a message from Skype or Discord, the bar pops again, is there any way to prevent that?

I built a computer about two months ago and I've discovered a problem. A couple weeks ago, after moving my computer onto a new desk, the pc bluescreened, and would never get to the OS after that. No matter how many times I reset it or shut it down, it would always bluescreen when turning on. None of the repair options worked short of resetting the win10 installation via the USB drive it came on. Safe mode didn't even work, it would just blue screen again.

"System thread exception not handled" was the stopcode.

Today it happened again, and I discovered the pattern. It happened right after I plugged in a USB device into a particular port on the motherboard, one of the 3.1 ports. It's this one particular port that causes this. I'm pretty sure I plugged something into it last time to cause it as well (I finally plugged in my hub that day as well, since I'd moved the computer).

BIOS are up to date. I assume it's the USB 3.1 driver or something, but I can't even do anything about it because the pc won't ever load into the OS, not even in safe mode. I might just have to reset the win10 install again like last time, then avoid that port forever, maybe put one of those rubber caps in it.

M.2 SSD vs 2"5 SSD. Any real difference in performance, durability, whatever?

>>59212636
Search "how to set up a server" on your favorite search engine. There should be plenty of guides. It's not really hard, but it is fairly involved and depending what you want to do and how (you really shouldn't be using Windows for this) the instructions will likely be different.

>>59212771
youd probably have to turn off message notifications from the apps, if thats possible in their settings

should i keep the ide on the ssd?
wouldnt the continuous write and rewrite kill the lifespan of the ssd quickly?
if i keep the ide on the ssd and store projects on a hdd would the speed be slowed as it has to retrieve from the hdd?

does 4chan allow webms with audio or not?

>>59212781
M.2 SSD (not NVMe) uses the SATA protocol, so there's no difference.
What matters is the flash controller, and the type of NAND flash used in the SSD,

>>59212776
> Asus z170-a
Yeah, that board has some baaaaad BIOS problems.

>>59212936
unless they changed something in the last couple months, yes. if you go to settings at the top of the page, you can change them so that webms arent muted by default

>>59212757
If you already have both cards, and can use them both, yeah, go ahead. LinuxShillTraps did a good video on PhysX benchmarks.

>>59212976
hm

>>59212936
>>59212976
that being said, it seems like most people post webms that dont have audio anyway. maybe just a consideration of the file size

In a laptop, everything else the same in the machine, meant for light gaming but mainly mundane:

i7 6500U
or
i5-6300HQ

>>59212176
If it's a really fast USB3.1 drive, it can work quite well.
If you have a USB->SATA adapter, or external drive enclosure (that supports AHCI), you can run it off an old 30+GB SSD over the USB port.
You're usually better off running it in a VM.

>>59213092
I5-6300HQ if you dont mind heat and giving it proper cleaning once every 3-6 months and repasting every 1-2 years.

I7-6500 for just werks.

What matters is the GPU.

>>59212993

i5-6300HQ

It's that simple.

>>59213128
>>59213092
Apparently the I5-6300HQ has better IGPU so it wins.

It also uses 3 times more energy and probably twice as hot because HQ CPUs are hot.

Because you'll use that for anything but CS:S or Minecraft...

dark souls 3 isn't really "light gaming"
the power you need in the computer is based on the games you want to run, not how often you want to run them

shit like minecraft or generally older games and games with nondemanding graphics (or anything 2d, like a lot of platformers and shit) will run on much weaker machines than a relatively recent 3d game

2 questions, what could be causing a disk to suddenly go offline on Windows without even spinning? I have 3 hard drives in my laptop, in the past hdd2 once went offline for no reason and I gave it no thought, that was months ago. Yesterday hdd1 went offline while I was away, no problem I thought. Today it went offline again for no reason and without being used (I set it to spin down after 15mins). Any idea what should I check for? Crystaldisk Info says everything's ok.

The other one is, while I was copying thousands of small files to an external drive hdd2 suddenly made a clacking sound (not very loud and it has done it ever since I have it) but this time and for some reason after the clacking sound I could hear the head seeking over the room, it was about 4x louder than usually but it worked fine. I decided to turn down my computer and thankfully the loud sound went away but it scared me a bit. I should note the files were fragmented and probably all over the disk because I could hear the head seeking constantly when I first started to copy them. Crystaldisk Info says this one is ok too, not running hot or anything. Could it be that the arm mechanism just got "overloaded" and went nuts? Should I be worried?

>>59214628
Actually I think offline isn't the term because it'd still show in the disk management tool, it just disappeared from both explorer and disk management.

Based on what I know about BitLocker, I think it's perfectly fine for average Windows users to rely on, which is especially convenient considering it comes with many PCs. If it ever turns out that Microsoft is willing to include a backdoor in a major feature of Windows, then we have much bigger problems than the choice of disk encryption software anyway.

Whatever you choose, if trusting a proprietary operating system not to be malicious doesn't fit your threat model, maybe it's time to switch to Linux.

What is the best way to straighten pins on a processor?

I took the heatsink out of my buddies PC and the processor was fused to the heatsink, so it came out with the socket lever still locked. There's a few slightly bent pins. I was thinking of using guitar string.

>>59219357
credit card method, also protip for the future, turn the pc on and let it run for a bit before shutting down to remove the heatsink, the heat of the cpu generally loosens the past enough you can get the heatsink off without taking the cpu with it

Will a mini itx handle emulators?

>>59219773
Mini-ITX more or less refers to a specific size of a motherboard (a component that connects all other components of a computer together), rather than something like, for example, its ability to perform certain tasks, which are mostly determined by the central processing unit (CPU or processor) and graphical processing unit (GPU or graphics card). You can put (overly) powerful components in a mini-ITX motherboard and it will handle emulators, or you can put in more moderate components and it will handle emulators as well.

2. bypasses the LED so you can't immediately tell.

What you should do is investigate how it works on your computer.
Like read the linux driver for your camera or implement your own to see if it is possible to turn it on without the LED turning on as well.

But if you feel more safe with gnu/linux, by all means, do so.

>Adoption of the SATA Express connector was extremely slow. At the launch of the Z97 chipsets there were no drives that supported the cable.[30] Motherboard support at the time was also uneven. High-end solid state drives that might have used the SATA Express connector instead opted for the M.2 standard. One reason for this was that M.2 drives could be used in both desktops and notebooks.[31]

>With the expected future adoption of the U.2 standard it is unclear if SATA Express will ever see wide-spread use.

>Socket AM4 and its accompanying chipsets finally brought support for SATA Express to the AMD platform in 2017.

I am very close to purchasing this laptop, but I am trying to figure a few things out before doing so.

The main things that catch my eye is that its full HD, has a numpad (important for my profession) and the low price. The compromise is that this laptop has a 1 TB HDD 5400 RPM.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6V65501149&cm_re=dell-_-1TS-000A-01CJ1-_-Product

After doing some financing I have come to the conclusion that it will cost ~$800 total to buy this as well as a 500 GB SSD with Windows 10 Pro.

However, upon further research I have basically found a carbon copy of this laptop with a 500 GB SSD factory installed

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7AB5939310&cm_re=dell_inspiron-_-9SIA7AB5939310-_-Product

This is interesting, and will cut out my additional labor. Although I find it kind of strange that Dell would mark up their product by $200 because of the SSD. Again, one reason why I am interested in this is because it was at a cheap $570, but if I want that SSD I have to pay an extra $200.

What do you all think? Is the second option a good deal? Is the 5400 RPM drive really not that bad? Im just trying to get something good for the money.

/fglt/ is shitting themself right now, I'm gonna try posting there later but I broke my linux mint. When I log in I get
>could not update ICEauthority
and I log out. I've tried countless commands but I don't have access to sudo. I've been at this for 3 hours now so I come here in desperation.

>>59224748
>crossfire
why

>>59224762
I doubt it since the intel IGPU should work.

>>59224764
>>59224774
It's cheap and powerful

>>59224778
Its not and no.

>>59224762
Gonna try the no gpu now.

Where do you guys shop for things computer? Looking to replace an old laptop.

>>59224594
Remove the GPU and plug on the iGPU, set bios to PCI and done.

I got a fx8320 because it was €200 with a decent mobo, i5-something K edition with the similarly featured mobo would have been €350.Game performance could be better, but it's not unplayable. Doubt you can run 4k at 60fps on it though. fx8350 is a higher clocked 8320 that 'won the silicon lottery'.

>gpu comes with 1100 stock clock (970)
>bump it up to 1400 and increase memory from 7000 to 7500
>3dmark score is only 80% of what I got at stock clock
the fuck?

>>59224811
Unstable overclocking.

Increase voltage.

>>59224778
>powerful
only if the game supports it and has no issues with xfire, and even then it's not mindblowing
>cheap
questionable, considering your performance will see massive disparities depending on what game you're playing
sometimes it will be better than average, sometimes you'll have spent $400 for $200 worth of performance

Trying to take out the gpu now. Got it out of the motherboard but the pci-e cord is having a hard time coming out of the gpu. Is there a vetter way to unplug it? Do i have to unplug it?

>>59224785
Looks like it is tho, at least for what I'll be playing

>>59224807
>fx8320
That's the one I meant, not the 8350. I don't think it will bottleneck the 2x480 since it's running at 4k

>>59224820
What games are known to have issues with it?

>>59224907
wait for the lower core ryzen cpus, they should be $150-250.

>>59211335
My i5 6200u + 940M manages to get like 25 fps on dark souls 3, so that computer should be fine.
xxxxU are low power CPUs for laptops.

imo its a fine laptop

Ok so unplugged gpu and plugged the stuff into my motherboard. Its still not connecting to my monitor

Your case should have came with one of this, did it right?

>>59224993
Nah i dont have that. Btw thk u to everyone who is helping i appreciate it

>>59225013
Do you have any way possible to connect a speaker to your computer?

>>59225021
I have some old speakers that connect with headphone jackand usb. Wouldbthat help?

>>59225021
>>59225013
Your motherboard is posting, but since you have no sound output (specially a motherboard speaker) its not making the beep sounds.
Something is wrong with your build, could be RAM, CPU or another problem but since there is no way to reproduce the POSTing we cant know.

>>59225037
Honestly im not sure.

>>59224955
Is this a brand new monitor, or an older one?

>>59225049
New.

>>59225046
Is ram the stick? Cause ive been having problems with that. It doesnt go in all the way like it feels like it can just fall out. I try pushing it in but it doesnt really go in.

>>59225059
might play with the monitor next, see that it's on the correct setting
>>59225081
you'll generally hear a click when it's set, it requires a bit of force, but not enough you're hulking out on top of the motherboard

>>59225081
Could you post a picture of it?

They should go all the way in till the locks are perfectly placed in the holes, you should hear a click.

Yeah just re did the ram to hear the click seems like its fully in now. Could this have been the problem?

>>59225081
and yes, ram is the thin stick that goes in the slots next to the CPU

>>59225104
Highly probable.
Your PC wont boot without RAM.

always try to run the computer after making a change rather than asking us
the answer is yes, it's possibly that, but we can't know for sure until you try it

Ok guys plugged everything back in again. Graphic card fans are now spinning so i guess thats a good sign but my monitor is still saying no signal.

>>59225146
Do you still have the cable connected to the motherboard rather than the GPU?

>>59225152
Ok so i tried doing it with everyrhing in and using the graphics card and trying it in the motherboard. Then i tried with graphic card out and trying to do motherboard to monitor. Still not getting signal

M80's, I want to set up my second router as a repeater. Do I have to connect the second router to the phone line as well just like the first? Pic related.

>>59225239
Could you post a picture of your motherboard?
Did you connect the 8 pin CPU power cable?
Since the fans are spinning the 24pin power cable is working.

What's the alternative to the discontinued XTY microphone that was on the wiki page?

>>59225372
bump

I need a chrome extension that will let me block urls. I'm procrastinating too much and need something to stop me from opening YouTube, twitch and even this goddamn image board for a while

>>59225399
Zalman clip on mic

>>59225317
honestly can't tell from the picture and the other anon was more knowledgable than I am
you might triple check every connection to make sure it's in correctly, including "extra" cables to make sure they're not supposed to be plugged in somewhere
is the 8 pin fully seated?
did you cycle through monitor settings?

Which kind of screws should i use in motherboards?

>>59225470
no, the repeater only needs power (and configuration to act as a repeater)

>>59225317
>>59225305
Anon, you connected the CPU heatsink cable wrong.

It should be CPU_FAN1 instead CHA_FAN1.

CHA_FAN1 is for the case fan, not for the computer.

>>59225667
It's been forever since I built one, but I'm pretty sure either your case or motherboard comes with them
Almost positive it's the case

>>59225712
Yes, my HAF912 came with them, the problem is, i dont know which one should i use.

>>59225729
How many different types did it come with? They should either be labeled in the manual or you can check just by trying to screw each in the holes and see what fits

>>59209008

help me my friends, a couple of days ago I posted about how my computer stopped working, at which point I assumed the PSU was dead. The motherboard LED was on, and this happened after some blackouts and days of extreme heat.

Well, great news, I bought a new PSU and the computer is still not working. End my life famalams.

How can I even check if the mobo is the dead one? I tried removing literally all parts except processor and I can't get any response.

The fucking motherboard LED is still on, same with network port.

Advice me my friends

>>59224966
pls repsond

>>59225694
Fixed it thk u

>>59225863
So, did it boot?

>>59225741
That can fit in the standoffs? 2.

>>59225879
Still saying no signal sadly

I can post more closeup shots if thatwould help.

>>59225912
Were they not labeled? Did you read through the manual?

The ones on the left looked like they're for the case itself to connect a door, the right look closer to standoff screws, but I can't know for sure. standoffs are generally flatter on top

What OS would you recommend for someone who hates every OS?

>>59226032
MS-DOS

>>59226032
Temple OS

>>59226002
Based on google looks like the left one are the ones used with motherboards.

Hey fellas, the micro usb port in my phone is loose enough that my cable won't stay in unless it's perfectly still.

How simple of a repair is this?

>>59225952
Post the CPU power cable.

>>59226135
Could be - are they the same length? What's the back of the head look like? Are they both flat on the back end?

>>59226190
Yes, both are flat.

>>59226233
honestly, it's probable they'll both work fine
if they're both the same length, both are flat end, and are right around the same size, it would seem like they'd both fit
I'd give the manual a once over to make sure, but unless you're having to force them in to get them to fit, or they don't seat neatly, it shouldn't be a big deal

>>59226043
Nice.

>>59226090
What makes you recommend it?

>>59226296
>What makes you recommend it?

>>59225912
computers mostly use only three kinds of screw threads
the "bigger" ones that is used in most places, psu mount, io brackets, hdd's, standoff's
the "smaller" ones are used for floppy drives, optical drives
and case fans use their own, which have huge plastic-cutting threads

>>59225805
>remove everything but mobo and CPU
>computer still not working
well obviously the problem is with either mobo or cpu, what more do you want from us

there's probably a proper name for these, but i don't care to find out

>>59221668
any help?

>>59225935
Post a photo of the CPU power cable.
