I just (correctly) updated my drivers for my 7950 finally. It was running on drivers from 2013. Games are running noticeably better now. However, the fan is also running louder than before.
This particular card has always been dead silent while not under load and sounds like a jet when launching a game. Now it's slightly noisy idling and I think it may get even louder than before in-game. This is a problem because I use this PC for audio work outside of gaming so I can't tolerate the noise.
The AMD "Radeon Settings" software lets me set the fan to a specific speed manually, but disabling the automatic fan control is of course a stupid idea and I'm not going to attempt to constantly set that. There is some ability to set "profiles" for different game applications, but only certain ones, and these settings do not reset after leaving the application.
TL;DR - the graphics card in my audio PC is too loud after updating drivers and I'm wondering if there's any way I can scale the fan speeds back down without giving up automatic fan control. Never had any heat issues before.

>disabling the automatic fan control is of course a stupid idea
why??
>>55343916
You serious? That fan is pretty important anon. I can't just set it to 20% so it's quiet and then go actually using it for games or whatever at that setting.
>>55343956
Not that guy, but I agree with him.
Set it so it's a bit lower than how it is recently, and play some games while tracking temps, keep reducing until you're happy.
Not sure why the fans are faster though. Maybe it's got something to do with an increase in performance?
I know you ain't tech support but will anyone help me?
So I have a server in my room with 4GB off RAM installed and then I turned off the server cause I was going to be worked fine. wake up in the morning and turn on my server and it was running slow so I was like 'wtf' checked tasked manager and it says only 1GB of my 4GB off RAM is usable can anyone help?

Take the ram sticks out, put them back in
See if it works. If no, probably broken ram

Damn, you are the dumbest guy on /g/.
Congratulation!
>>55343539
because handling the UI in kernel space gives you performance.
There is a reason it's done that way.

My friend was getting rid of an old laptop Hard Drive, I asked him if I could have it since the one in my old laptop was dying.
I installed it with Windows XP, but its only recognized by windows as a 130gb when it is a 320gb. The BIOS recognizes it as a 320gb.
The laptop is a Dell thats like 10 years old, I even ran their own diagnostics check and everything passed, except for 3 [of the 8] Hard Drive tests
>SMART status test
>SMART short self test
>SMART thresholds test
Not that it is much of a big deal, this HD is actually in better condition than the one I had in it to begin with.
Anyone have ideas on how to get windows to recognize the true size of the HD, or is the rest of it probably corrupt?
It's a western digital wd3200bekt-75pvmt1 320GB 7200 RPM
I tried to see if there were drivers for it I could update but to no avail, a lot of posts online said you need XP SP3 for windows to recognize "larger" HDs but that hasnt changed anything. Obviously most of these posts were old

Why is Alienware so hated? They make decent stuff, yet people act like it's complete shit.
Overpriced
>>55343175
overpriced for performance, they kinda do the same as apple
if their products were cheaper, i would give them some respek
Are there any better brands? I'm fucking lazy and i don't have the confidence to build a PC.
imo elementaryOS has the best home webpage to tell you about it's OS. it is simple, clean, light, minimal, and it offers a very clear donation button which gives it a bit of class.
worst webpage HAS to go to Arch. horrible formatting, no images, doesn't tell you anything, no donate button. WAY too information-heavy. But, I guess this is a positive in a way, because it is clearly for an advanced operating system user.

gorgeous, modern design just like their default wallpaper

good OS though. like their DE and vala apps, and they have a reasonably active bounty source page

There is literally no reason for average gamer to buy anything else but this card.

If you don't care about graphics, get an APU. If you care about graphics, get a higher end GPU.

I'm barely getting 35-40 fps running Witcher 3 on my 480 and after 25 minutes it's running at 95c, then he throttles down and I'm down to ~10 fps

So I've been making music on the VICE commodore emulator. But I heard that the actual C64 sounds better. Is this true? The prices on ebay can be outrageous. But I found that people are selling it cheaper locally on craigslist.
I watched videos on how to transfer files from your computer to the commodore. My only problem is I cannot find commodore floppy disks themselves. Where do I buy the actual floppies?
Should just be able to format standard PC 360k disks for use with a 1541
Or just use a datasette.
>>55342874
>But I heard that the actual C64 sounds better. Is this true?
Yes. The best sounding option would be a C64 with 8580 SID with digifix. Almost every C64C (except the very early assy. 250466) have this SID; breadbins and very early C64C don't (they have the 6581 SID which doesn't need the digi-fix but sounds worse.)
>>55342874
>My only problem is I cannot find commodore floppy disks themselves.
Pretty sure that there are a lot of expansion boards that allows you to use SD/MMC cards instead of floppy drives.
You can also use tapes.
But again , there are mods to use MP3 players instead of tapes and there are expansion boards that let you use Memory Cards and USB sticks , there is no reason to use floppies in 2016
I am glad i've got the N6P.

Explain yourself. Why is USB-C bad?
>>55343955
Because all my other devices are usb-b. It's just enforcing change for no reason. Now I have to put a extra cable everywhere.
