You have an overclocking CPU, but a non overclockable motherboard. And you also have 32 gigs of ram but only a 970? I think your budget allocation is a bit weird. Ditch the 32. Go for 16 Gigs and spend the extra on a nicer PSU or GPU. Or use it for a Z170 motherboard.

Is this a good gaming mobo? I'm complete garbage when it comes to motherboards, so I have no idea one way or another. I'd be pairing it with an i3-6100 and a 280 3GB, and eventually replacing the 280 with a 1070

I literally modified the stock "enthusiast gaming build" and swapped out the case and graphics card which I thought were needlessly expensive for what I wanted. The CPU was chosen based on the price drop feature on the site.

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/jVZxFT/enthusiast-gaming-build

And what do you mean an "overclocking CPU"? I don't intend on doing any overclocking.

>>55020856
your going to put on os on a 3tb 5400rpm drive?

Reposting from last one as nobody replied.

Got some problems and questions related to them. Have I utterly lost in silicon lottery, is there something else going on and how can I troubleshoot this further?

I've had i7 4770k @ 4.3 GHz stable for around a year. No crashes which I could relate to the clocks and I could run benchmarks just fine. However to achieve that clock and run the system stable, it meant that I had to use 1.35V core voltage which is VERY high for Haswell and borderline hot under load even with my H110 closed loop liquid cooler. I accepted it as what it was even if the result I got was basically the worst 4770k I ever saw.

Recently I started experiencing crashes from occasional ones in games to ones during desktop use. USB devices would shut on/off regularly, CPU fan 2 won't work unless I plug it into one of the system fan headers etc. I tried running Prime95 and it crashed during the first minute. I go to BIOS, lower clock speed by 0.1 GHz and try again: crashes immediately. I lower clock speed again: system fails booting. After some retries it boots but it refuses to run a benchmark stable. I lower clocks to 4.0 GHz and voltage to 1.25V: it stalls in BIOS while saving and after it finally boots it still fails at running Prime on any of the benchmark types for more than a second. I never had any problems using clocks this low - just 0.3 GHz shy from the max turbo freq of the defaults.

Any idea what is going on? My CPU might be the worst Haswell ever produced but this kind of stuff makes me wonder if it's just the CPU causing problems or something else? I just loaded BIOS defaults and running Prime stable for an hour. Other specs:

Intel i7 4770k, now at stock clock speeds
Gigabyte Windforce GTX 780
2*Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600MHz DDR3
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5 with newest BIOS available
Samsung 840 256 GB SSD with newest firmware available
Corsair AX760 PSU
Win 10 Pro 64 bit

So how to narrow the problem down? What programs to use?

>>55020941
I swapped out the hard drive as well since I like western digital products.

>>55020954

C++ question: can static member functions be called if the class they're attached to is pure virtual?

Are factory overclocked GPUs worth the extra cost? Is it essentially pointless if you can overclock them yourself, or is there some kind of benefit I'm not aware of?

>>55021009
It's safer if you have no idea what you're doing and refuse to Google things. That's about it

>>55021009
Factory overclocked GPUs often come with better cooling systems and greater maximum power draw, allowing better overclocks.

If it's just clock speed then no, it's just for people without overclocking mobos.

Typically, yes.

Pic related, EVGA GTX 980Ti Superclocked and Kingpin. Notice the difference in pins. Kingpin can pull in a lot more juice so you can clock it retarded high, to the point where it's beating the 1080 with a good cooling system.

I was searching ebay for a replacement display for my T410, the listing says the part is for a dell, though. Will it work (the connector looked ok and the model number matches) or do I need to find one elsewhere?

I'm looking into an external poweramp for my audio setup and I'm wondering if an amplifiers 'headroom' is somehow related to Dynamic Range? trying to gauge what kind of power I might want.

>>55021131
Oh neat. I've got an EVGA Supernova G2 750w, running only a single GPU and 6600K @1.35vcore/4.5Ghz with a few drives. I could plug in another GPU cable with a card like this and get some pretty good OC going?

I've always been a bit leery of GPUs and heat because I typically use mine until they degrade or die without even overclocking. I've had bad luck maybe.

Thanks for the info though.

>>55021152
Headroom would basically mean how much louder the amplifier can drive your loudspeakers above whatever the loudest tolerable listening volume you have without clipping or pushing the loudspeakers into compression and high levels of distortion. Dynamic range is the noise performance of the system, think it as the difference between the lowest level signal which can be measure above the noise floor and the maximum output level. This dynamic range is unrelated to the dynamic range of the audio content which is much harder to define but think of that as the amplitude variance as a function of time in the audio. Here the amplifier power does factor in.

Power requirements tend to be vastly exaggerated in audiophile circles so take those as a grain of salt. Those general guidelines by Crown seem sane enough. Check your loudspeaker's sensitivity, know how loud you want them to be at most and then add the extra dBs there based on the musical genre as a headroom too accommodate for the louder peaks in the signal. Add some more if you are going to use an equalizer. Chances are that you can be fine with 50w a channel in almost any home listening situation but check the loudspeaker sensitivity first.

>>55021367
It's usually never good to buy a 3D printer if you're not using it very frequently or don't need it here and now for rapid prototyping. You can have stuff printed much better by services like Shapeways. Do the math and determine whether owning one and breathing the fumes would be cheaper.

>>55021494
3D printing would not be appropriate for that. Your parts wouldn't have the same kind of structural integrity. Learn to use lathes and drills and such if you want to do it right.

>>55021541
Neither.

If you want something future proof get the RX 480. If you want something cheaper get the RX 480. If you want something with better performance than both combined get the RX 480.

Chinks work with hundred thousand part production runs. Airshitters want to look like special snowflakes, and 3D printed parts allow them to do so.

Not to mention replacement parts for shit that has been out of production or shit the chinks won't offer replacement parts for (since they'd rather jew you into replacing the whole gun).

Once your RAM is working at 1600MHz it is fast enough to load anything instantaneously, making it faster wont matter.

I want to upgrade my shitstation. I'm getting 8 gigs of ram and I want to not only upgrade my CPU but my GPU too. It's a Dell Optiplex 390 DT and my case uses Half-Height slots. I can't find the correct spec sheets for my motherboard, so I can't find out what my possibilities are. I hope that someone from here can help me.
See picture related for information about my system.

>>55023569
The power supply is probably inadequate for those components. You might as well build a whole PC.

is there an easy way to transfer files trough lan cablle from windows pc to linux(arch) ?

>>55023228
Why not itx

>>55023569
not worth it.
you need to replace the motherboard unless you want to get a old LGA 1155 socket CPU.
And dell probably soldered the motherboard to the case, so you can trash it too.

this is why you don't buy a prebuilt, you can't upgrade it and have to replace it entirely.

Yes, it's called C-states and reduces power consumption of the CPU under low and idle load.

Stupid question here:

What the fuck is up with the temp readings? CPU load is constant below 8%, usually around 2-5%. Independantly of load, CPU temp spikes to ~60C every couple seconds, then returns to normal.

I can't figure this shit out because I can't do maths. I want to output the fraction of an number based on the cursor x position. So if the cursor is all the way to the left, it'll output 0, and as you move the cursor further to the right it'll increase that index until the max value. If the max value is 5, it outputs 0 at the very left, 3 in the middle, and 5 at the very right. Something tells me this is basic maths in javascript but i'm a complete idiot.

So I recently came into pic related and was wondering if it was worth upgrading from my 4790k, or if I should just pawn it off on ebay. Surprisingly, this and the 4790k fetch about the same price, so I could still sell my old one (which I've had for less than a year) for around $300. Plus my mobo for maybe $70. I'd still have to invest in a good skylake mobo plus some DDR4 modules.

I use my pc mostly for gaming, though benchmarks suggest that the 6700k handles fps drops a lot better than the 4790k, so I feel like that plus DDR4 would add a lot to the longevity of my pc.

Looks good, but if you can squeeze a bit more cash, you might want to invest in a 950 pro m.2 ssd instead of the 850 evo. It's about twice the price, but absurdly fast.
Also, you're really not getting the most out of that GPU with just a 1080p monitor. Either invest in a 4k monitor or a 144hz. If you don't care about either, just wait for the rx 480 and save yourself $500.

Have a 950 Pro. Absurdly fast is no exaggeration, you can copy to the same drive with 400+ MiB/s. For all intents and purposes a harddrive is used for, it's as fast as RAM.

How can I set it such that the vcore is lower when the CPU is at a lower clockspeed, e.g. 0.1v @ 800mhz, while maxing at 1.3v @ 4.3ghz?

Would an idiot breathe in oxygen? Yeah.

Time to stop breathing, OP.

>>55028018
dell xps or anything in that range.

Which one?


16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz 2x8gb cas13
16gb G.Skill Trident Z 16GB 3200Mhz cas16 2x8gb
16gb Ballistix Sport LT 16gb DDR4 2400Mhz 2x8gb Cas16
16gb G.skill Ripjaws 4 16gb 2x8gb 2400Mhz Cas15

use offset voltage instead of fixed and enable speedstep/c states

>>55028036
even though you set it to 1.3v that doesnt mean it'll consistently draw 1.3v. it'll draw what it needs but up to 1.3v

>>55028015
It's working correctly now, thank man (or woman).

is "Learning Python the Hard Way" as bad as everyone makes it out to be? Assuming I'm starting with no prior knowledge on the subject.

>>55028051
The cheapest.

>>55028111
if you know programming already just read the examples. i was done in like 2 hours.

>>55028051
any but the first

>>55028068
When vcore is set to "auto" I can see it fluctuate in real time on an indicator in my bios. When I set the vcore to "1.3" the indicator is fixed on "1.3". You could be right but I'm not sure.

is there a way to get an email or a text message any time someone tries to unlock my windows laptop, maybe by writing the wrong password many times?

>>55028113
isnt there a performance increase in any particular? the prices range from 60 to 90

>>55028144
how so?

>>55028190
No, its RAM.

Doesnt matter at what speed meanwhile its over 1333MHz it wont give you a single benefit.
Unless you are using a IGPU.

Anyway if you have a Z170/H170/X99 motherboard you can increase the speed from the BIOS.

>>55028209
so any brand thats the best then?

Whats the best windows XP version for a crap old laptop and general use?
I can't seem to run any linux distro properly because of how shit the laptop is
Ive heard people mention VL and Black edition.
Any ideas?

>>55028219
Unless its a noname brand all brands are good(Kingston, ADATA, Corsair, etc).

RAM is RAM, you usually go for the cheapest option.

>>55028229
ok thanks

>>55028203
Its slower, going under 2400 can affect gaming performance slightly

>>55028244
Try to use PCpartpicker to find some cheap RAM with good reviews if it worries you.

>can affect gaming performance slightly
If you are using a IGPU, yes.
Or playing fallout 4.

Other than that, it will be really rare for it to affect gaming performance.

"Assuming I'm starting with no prior knowledge on the subject."

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant the subject of programming, not just Python.

No, with a discrete card too
Its not a big difference but going from 2133 to 2400 isn't going to break the bank

>>55028326
nah that book isn't good for beginners.

If I connect a coaxial input to 120 volt AC, will magic smoke escape?

>>55028415
Probably

What's a good tool to cut portions from videos and then put them together?

I'm using Avidemux but this seems like it's going to be really long winded

>>55028564
ffmpeg or shotcut if you need a gui.

>>55028573
Thanks I'll check shotcut out

What's the deal with Exynos and custom ROMs? Never installed anything like that, but would a S3 have problems with Cyanogenmod? I heard with that CPU line you're better off with touchwiz.

I've never really considered it, but what kind of numbers should you be looking for when shopping for RAM? Aside from speed and capacity, obviously. I usually just grab the cheapest modules I can find (that doesn't have shit reviews) with the capacity and speed I'm looking for.

just got a 1440p freesync monitor
whats the minimum AMD card for decent 1440p gaming? i wanna save my dollarydoos for Vega

Wait for RX 480?

Dumb as fuck question : can you make games without learning how to program? Is Unity a way for this?

>>55028867
PS : if I must learn only one program (if possible) to create games, which one would it be? Java?

>>55028222
help

>>55028807
How long

>>55028666
My 290X has served me well over the years. Sometimes I hit a GPU bottleneck, but mostly I'm hitting CPU bottlenecks (because 120/144Hz), and it has enough spare power to turn on SSAA.

At a minimum I'd recommend a 380X, it's what I got in my second rig. Just remember to put that power slider to +20%.
If you can wait three weeks, the 480 is going to be the best deal.

>use google chrome on windows 7
>have 3 extensions, ublock origin, privacy badger and reddit enhancement suit
>browser stops working (slows down and eventually crashes)
>all extensions crash and need to be turned on again

Just closing the browser and starting it again works but that's being a hassle. Anyone know what's wrong with my broswer?

Can I remove this? Because I'm not planning of removing the service pack.
