Small Questions Thread

How hard is it to set up a private email server? I want to be like the rich people.

So my PVM's manual says it supports component Y/R-Y/B-Y or RGB, but when I use it with my PlayStation 2 only Y/Pb/Pr works, when I set it to RGB the colors and picture glitch out badly. Anyone know what's up?

I just set up mpc with a ton of extra things like svp, madvr, etc for the first time.
I went for full performance and I noticed my parts were hitting some relatively high temps (CPU around 70 C and GPU around 80 C).
Are those temperatures high enough to damage the parts or is it alright?

Why the fuck does OS X naively support the DualShock 4, but Windows doesn't??

These files are all on the disc that came with my motherboard. My new computer doesn't have an optical drive. Can I simply copy and paste these files onto a flash drive and use that for my new computer? Will I be prompted to run something when I stick the flash drive in my new computer, or will I have to manually select something from within the flash drive?

>>55776355
To clarify, the motherboard is for my new computer. The screenshot was taken on another computer.

I would just download the latest drivers from the manufacturer website.

Would it be wise to upgrade to a 6700k 1151 platform now for gaming or is the next architecture and flagship going to overwhelm the 6700k by a huge margin?

my current motherboard has lots of issues (gigabyte) and i thought if i need to replace it might aswell get a new socket and CPU

Using FFmpeg (or Handbrake) to convert videos, will Linux distros convert faster than Windows? From what I've heard, Linux > Windows in speed until GPUs get involved.

I've got got a Thinkpad W510 hooked up to an external GPU which is hooked up to a monitor. Is there any way I can use the monitor and the laptop's screen at the same time?

It doesn't seem like anything even detects the laptop's screen at all when I'm using the external GPU. Is my only option some sort of hardware wizardry?

>>55777014
You haven't stated what you are currently running.

The 6700k is a shit, not worth the money, get a 4790k.


>>55777043
Windows probably will win in the GPU area.


>>55777128
I'd do some googling/YouTubing, you should be able to use both at the same time.

Every Youtube video I've seen so far seems to only display anything on the monitor the GPU is connected to.

That's why I feel like the only way to actually use the laptop screen would be to somehow hook the GPU up to it directly, which probably isn't worth the trouble.

The laptop's screen stays on and everything though. It's just black and nothing seems to know it exists.

Debian if you don't know what you're doing. If you fuck up something major and you have your install key, it's just a matter of smashing enter a few times and you're back up and running with a fresh install.

Didn't manage to find an answer yesterday;

I'm having issues with Radeon Settings.exe and I'm getting an error; 'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)'

I have searched online and tried these fixes that came up so far;

>Used Dependency Walker to repair and install missing DLLs

After this I'm still getting the error, can anyone help me with this?

Can I force certain program to use certain core of my CPU?

I mean, if I have some CPU heavy program and 4 or 8 core CPU, could I run, say, 3 instances of it and assign each to different cores?

>>55777147

>The 6700k is a shit, not worth the money, get a 4790k.

Not him, but the cost of 4790k is not much lower (at least in my case) and motherboards for it use only DDR3 RAM, while ones with 1151 socket (Skylake) uses DDR4 RAM.

If he is about to buy new motherboard, it doesnt make a sense for him to limit himself with old technology.

Is there an adapter for this SSD?
mz-ntd1280/000

I need it to become an mSATA so that I can connect it to my Maximus Gene V mPCIe combo thing.

I'm so confused by all these specifications and shit. I found this:

But when I read this part:
>About Mini PCIe SSD interface standard:

I become dizzy and want to puke.

Which is lighter in terms of RAM usage in idle, W10 or W7? Assuming we have trimmed all those useless services at msconfig.

Also does W10 boots faster or the difference isn't that much?

512 GB might be a little small for gaymen. You sure you don't want to throw in a HDD?

Hey, I just got a 144hz monitor, but when i plug the DVI-D cable into my gpu's DVI-I slot, but I can't choose 144hz, it only displays 60hz max, any idea on how to fix it? Thanks

>>55778994
What monitor? It may not support 144hz through DVI
Otherwise make a custom monitor profile, I know nvidia control panel will do that and I think AMD does too
You can also use custom resolution utility

>>55778878
Ditch the 512 ssd and get a 256gb 850 evo
Grab a 2/3/4TB hdd and store your games on it use the ssd for your system and programs you install on it, there is little gain in most games that will utilize an ssd

>>55778994
DVI does not support 144mhz

>>55778056

I'm not sure about the Acer 14 but with the C720 you could replace the flash storage. I upgraded mine from 32GB to 128GB. I know that's not much space but it's something. The whole point of Chromebooks anyway is to join the cloud botnet.

Finished reading a book on c++. I want to dive deeper into the language, for example i don't know how to use vectors or lists. What should i read now?

>>55778878
i5 is meh in such class build, with that budget I would do the following


- scrap heatsink completely for now, that means extra $150
- drop from gtx1080 to gtx1070 - extra $420

now I would drop i5 and would take i7-5820k with 6 real cores and 12 threads.
faggots will tell you its overkill, but comes zen everyone will have 6/8 cores with 12/16 threads, all the consoles are 8 cores.. it does play its role

you will need mobo change for 2011-v3 socket as well, could cost ya extara $50-$100, it still uses DDR4, which should be at least 2666MHz btw, above that the benefits drop

after this huge core change, you can come back again

>>55779058
DVI can run at a pixel clock of around 460mhz
1080p 144hz only requires about 320mhz

>>55779127
>take gaming focused build

great advice

Is there any way to make handbrake convert an mp4 file to a wav file and basically remove the video?

>>55779145
its still an extremely serious gaming build
dont be jelly just because you have 4 cores with no multithreading

this is not 2013 anymore, games make use of many cores and multithreading. Again, every single console stands on 8 cores, well major console, not sure about Nintendo

>>55779175
just use ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i gayporn.mp4 gayporn.wav

>>55779127
Scrap the heatsink, keep the 1080, consider an i7 but screw the 6 core meme. Would get a smaller ssd and a hard drive. Practically speaking the memory you choose wont have much of a real world impact

>>55779175
just use ffmpeg

Is there a way to add a bunch of torrents as magnet links to a text file then some torrent client just opens the file and starts downloading the magnets it finds? Some user intervention would be okay

>>55779179
The problem is that you're getting worse gaming performance by dropping the 1080 for a 1070
The 6600k isn't going to be bottlenecked by 90% of games.

>>55779208
make a script to do it for you

>>55779198
you do realize the difference between 4 core i7 unlocked and 6 core i7 5820k is just $100 australian dollars

Its absolutely worthy you stupid fucks to get those extra 2 cores!

>>55779222
but he will change the card sooner than changing the cpu
consider how poorly compares gtx780 and gtx980 to modern cards
that will happen in 2 years too

gtx1070 is enough to drive games, but value he gets from extra cores and threads in the future will be substantial

lets not forget about better overclockers, no stupid low quality thermal paste, no bending cpu with weight of a heatsink, mobo with better pcie lines for sli if interested...

i5 is enough for most, but seeing it in this level of build is kinda bleh
especially when price difference for those extra cores is so small

>>55778641

Is NixOS any good, or is it just 'DevOps' hype?

>>55779246
I swear you're just one guy lurking on all of the threads so he can spread the gospel of 6 cores. Just become a tripfag already so we can tune you out easier. 6 cores is for workstations. I get why you think it's for games, why you think there's been some great revolution in the last year. But the amount of games optimized to use 6 cores is minimal. It's not what people are expected to have, it's just some weird stopgap in the evolution of processing. And quit trying to claim that consoles have anything to do with it. It's a whole different ballgame when your entire user base has the exact same processor. Their optimization is wildly different from PC games

Sorry but you are exceptionally retarded if you think that games are coded like that, to special hardware in some strange way optimized.
What they can split to more processes they split, its exceptionally hard to code like that, parallel processing, but we are getting there.

Anyway game studios buy engine, engine is coded for huge variety of hardware, theres some underlying more to the hardware api now that makes absolutely irrelevant if it runs on AMD 8 core on playstation 4, xbox one or on fx 8350.

If you ever stopped saying that i7 provides no benefit over i5 (a popular idea few years back because it was mostly true), then if you understand how hyper threading works you are saying that real 6 cores also provide benefit.

I know theres always this adaptation period, retards will have hard time to ever acknowledge change in the world they come to be accustom to. Its threatening to them, they see themselves as having knowledge, and suddenly some new knowledge came, for some strange reason and it did not come from them, and its scary.

Stop being a retard jus because you went for 4 cores in 2016
Games use many cores now, especially many players multiplayers one
People record and encode on the gpu, but also stream their game, theres lots to do with more cores

What kind of hardware do I need to support a QHD (2,560 x 1,440) display?

I just want to play Overwatch at optimal settings.

im planning to build a pc. Yesterday as ive double checked if everything is allright i run into something. The case ive chosen have 3 default fans, the manufactures only states them as "regular" 120mm, two in the front and 1 in the back. The mothetboard ive chocen however have only two 3pin and two DWM slot. is it possible and alright to connect one of the case's fans into one dwm? what is your opinions? is this even a problem?

Is it worth investing in premium case, psu, motherboard (things you aren't liekly to replace without switching whole platform) and buy worse parts you plan to replace later anyway?

Example: I want to buy gtx1060 with an i3, with intention of replacing them later with an i7 and 1080ti when it comes out. Should I get something like gtx950/60 and g4400 instead, but put extra money in quality psu/case and mb?

>>55779465
Bro if you think consoles don't take advantage of hardware uniformity, you've got some reading to do. Why do you think games at the end of a consoles generation have so much better graphics? They've had time to optimize everything with one specific set of hardware in mind. I will give you that we are making improvements in multithreaded gaming with DX12/Vulcan, but most games don't bottleneck their processor, they reach the limit on their graphics card. 6 cores just isn't worth pouring resources into. It's pushing a specific technology with an extra cost and no guarantees of corresponding benefit. And I didn't go 4 cores myself, I went with a nice overclocable i7, but I do a lot more than just game. If you have something else you might want to do, by all means take it's requirements into mind.

You could probably build one for about $800

thanks for your answer. and what is your suggestion, which fan should i plug into the dwm? is it makes and difference in terms of fan control/internal pressure etc? this maybe a dumb question, a 3 pin fan works at full speed 24/7 right, but im not entirely sure

>>55779628
Previous gens generations were not x86 FYI
There was coding for hardware, specificly and taken advantage of no overhead
but the idea of coding multi threaded shit stands on fundamentals
if they figure out what to execute on what thread and sync the communication well between threads so it all moves nicely forward they do it same for all hardware.

And I guess that you buying i7 makes sense, you did not invest extra $150 and now you are bit jaded by seeing someone recommend something you passed on

I'm assuming you mean PWM

Not being x86 is irrelevant. You can follow software optimization on the xbone really easily because everyone was nipicking about how quickly it could catch up to the PS4. I'm all for improvements in multithreading. I just feel like by the time it would matter they will have already moved on to something else. And no, I'm not "jaded", I'm perfectly happy with my processor. It isn't the limiting factor in my games. It isn't in most peoples games actually, especially if you go with nvidia for your gpu. Whenever people start throwing around accusations I tend to wonder if they're actually referring to themselves. Maybe because you spent an extra $150 you are really trying to justify it before your next upgrade rolls around. Just don't go recommending it over peoples actually helpful advice and we don't have a problem

At what point should I get out the magnet

>>55779922
Well I don't know about AOMEI specifically. Every cloning tool has their own quirks and abilities. If you tell a tool to copy a partition that happens to have windows on it, but it doesn't take the special steps to make it windows bootable, that can mess things up. That's why I like using macrium reflect, because it's very good about doing that automatically. Is one of the partitions small, like 100-500 megabytes? Is it possible you missed a hidden partition that size on the old HDD?

>>55780153
It matters how you look at your drives. If a partition doesn't have a letter assigned to it, it won't appear in My Computer. If you look at them in Disk management or most partition managers it will show the hidden drives as well. Windows almost always uses a tiny partition outside of its main one. That partition is what your computer looks at when it first turns on, and without it your computer has no idea windows is even installed

If you are planning to no longer have windows on the old system, then there's a good chance.

>>55780244
Thanks

>>55780229
Well, you could re-clone everything from the old drive. Or you could try repairing the boot for the new windows install. It's a little weird trying to describe how to do it. You could make a rescue cd with macrium reflect or a windows install disk and try to detect and repair the installation. Or you could use a tool specifically designed for your situation called easybcd. It's actually the easiest method, but the tool is a little confusing at first.

>>55780794
Macrium reflect does a very good job with what you're trying to do. Just check the box to the left of your old drive so it selects all partitions, then clone disk.

>>55780908
so itll wipe the new one before it clones the old one?

How to change value of string with PHP function? I need to import XML file but some values are in Number ID form, not in words

elseif ($safety == "2"):
    $x = "Airbag 1X";
elseif ($safety == "3"): 
   $x = "Airbag 2X";

switch ($x) {
    case "4":
        $x = "Airbag 4X";
        break;
    case "5":
        $x = "Airbag 6X";
        break;
    case "6":
        $x = "Airbag 8X";
        break;
}

return $x;
}

?>

etc...

XML node is called "safety"

>>55780934
Unused lightbulb is a completely erroneous comparison. The fact that pre-loading some commonly used system resources into memory is beneficial is an established fact. Do you have anything solid that contradicts that?

>>55780927
That's what you are trying to do. You will choose where the partitions go in the cloning wizard, and it will warn you that the new drive is going to be erased.

"Manufacturers now use their own measurements so can not necessarily be compared between brands. Examples include LG - Motion Clarity Index (MCI), Samsung - Clear Motion rate (CMR), Philips - Perfect Motion Rate (PMR), Sony - Motionflow XR and Panasonic - BLS (Back Light Scanning). All these figures are twice or more than the traditional 100Hz/200Hz refresh rate figures."

Practically speaking it probably does look a lot like 120hz refresh rate, perhaps annoyingly so if you are bothered by the soap opera effect of high framerate movies. But it's usually a disableable feature anyway

>you are wasting resources every boot to pe-load
>some commonly means is not always used
>pre-load saves time only whe you use it
> you need other resources to manage the unused loads in RAM
>light bulbs is weak comparison sorry

so:
every pre-load eventually waste more resources
than minutes saved in the long run


e.g.:
-if some "office suite" takes 5sec to pre-load every boot and saves you 10sec when you start it, then is more efficient not to pre-load than wasting 5sec every time you don't used it.

-I boot straight to the WM cause I never login as different user and the partition ask for password before kernel starts.

How hard is it to install a gpu? Told the guys at the store I bought my parts from to not install it for safety since Ill travel by car home.

Is it true that if I install the PSU, plug it into the wall, turn it off, and touch the case constantly, I'm not going to ESD my motherboard or CPU? Google told me this was the case but it doesn't really make sense to me and I don't want to blow my money on friend electronics.

Have you ever played with lego?
It is pretty much that easy.

You take old card out and click new card in.
At most you will need to swap the cables from the PSU to the GPU to something compatible, but thats as easy as following where the cable goes and plugging it in.

Youtube it if you get stuck or worried you may break it.

Someone is disconnecting my xbox 360 controller, how is possible? I know it's 2,4ghz stuff, but what gear do you you need?

I installed Win7 then 10 then Ubuntu. Grub points to the Win10 bootloader, which I'm supposed to use to boot 7. This takes ages and restarts the computer and I have to pick the bootloader, and it's just a pain.
Allegedly if you remove the boot flag from the first Windows install, the second one will ignore it and they'll each get their own bootloader. Is there any way to give each of my current windows partitions their own bootloader so they'll show up in grub so I can boot them from there?
Would making he W10 partition not bootable, reinstalling 7 and then fixing grub do it? I don't want to reinstall the others.

Hi /sqt/, I'm hoping you guys can help me with a problem I've got. I bought a laptop for work about four years ago and had no problems with it until about two weeks ago when it started stalling, requiring a hard reset, went into speccy and found my CPU temp was 125c. Commenced a tear-down, replaced thermal paste, cleaned fan and heatsink and all vents. Pic related is my current temps and system info. Any ideas as to why this thing is still so damn hot would be most welcome.

>>55781592
How do I make easybcd do that? Pretend I'm a child.
I don't have any system partitions, but I imagine I'd also need to make the current W10 bootloader ignore 7?

>>55781501
I use mine with Windows and what I think is an official adapter. It just drops out sometimes.

>>55781368
The idea is that the case will be connected through the socket's earth and by constantly touching the case, you will be too, so no static build up. Don't stress too much.

>>55781720
So to confirm, when you look in disk management you do not have any 100mb or 500mb system reserved partitions?

Is thermal paste required 100% of the time? My CPU comes with a stock coolant and says nothing in the instruction manual about using thermal paste. Do I still need it?

>>55781693

Cool. FYI you can actually do the same thing using easybcd, but then you would have to extend your partitions manually. Anyway, in your situation the bootloader for both is probably written to windows 10, not that it matters for what you're doing. You want to write a different, independent bootloader to each drive.

Alright so easyBCD is a little strange. First you pick your target. Under the "BCD Backup/Repair" button you can click "change boot drive" to copy your bootloader to a diferent drive. If you need to you can use "Re-creat/repair" to make new boot files.

Now you can edit your bootloader on the drive you have selected. Go to edit boot menu, choose if you want the loader to display every time you boot(in this case you dont), and remove all menu entries except the copy of windows installed to the partition you are currently modifying. If the right windows instance isn't listed, add it in "add new entry". The trick with adding entries or viewing things in "view settings" is that you need to make sure the drive letters are correct from the point of view of the operating system you are CURRENTLY BOOTED IN TO, regardless of which bootloader you are currently editing.

When you are done editing the first bootloader, go back to "BCD Backup/Repair" and click "change boot drive". This will copy (not move) the current bootloader, and all the changes you make from this point forward will now apply to the new partition you are pointing to. So you can give each partition their own, independent loader, and incidentally if you had started with a system reserved partition you would now be able to delete it.

I want to turn one of those rock band guitars into an actual instrument.
What is better for this, a raspberry pi or an arduino?
I found some really neat synth libs, but since these guitars lack buttons it might not be the thing, and you can't really "jam" with synths, its more of a table thing.
I also thought of using an sd card with an arduino, but the reader always returns failed when initializing, which makes me assume it's broken.
I'm reluctant to use a raspi since an arduino has alot of onboard protection whereas a raspi doesn't. But a raspi is multi-threading.

Here's the link : http://boredoms.neocities.org/ My problem is, the I configured for the video moves when resizing my browser's window from left to right. Moreover I am not sure if it's actually well positionned in other computers (it's supposed to cover the nipples).

Could someone recommend some good PSU's for the following hardware.
I just can't decide and can't find anything from logical increments that's recommended in my country.

A couple of them would be really nice.

i7 6700K
GTX1070
16GB DDR 4
SSD EVo 850 Samsung
HDD Toshiba 2TB

>>55784335
Is the i5 6600k good?

I plan to use it as a general purpose computer. Gaming, some editing of video photo and audio, movie watching, etc. Just an all around computer.

If i had to say, it would probably be mostly for gaming.

>>55784429
Its on par with for the highest single threaded performance CPU currently available which is important for a number of things still, including many games

It will do everything the average user wants for many years to come

An i7 would be better for heavy audio/video editing but the 6600k should be fine.

I'd like some good readings/tutorials/etc on making a GUI in Java.

>>55784349
You do know you don't need to link the code right?

>>55784379
Depends on what prices are like in your country
I would aim for around 600 watts, 550 would be fine too.
There's an image floating around of a PSU tier list but I don't have it, this looks pretty similar

>>55784535
What do you mean ? How can you know where I failed ?

>>55784556
You linked your Pastebin document, but you didn't need to since pretty much anyone that visits the page can press CTRL+U and see the code, look into CSS margins to cover the tiddy.

>>55784583
Oh, ok. Thanks I didn't know that. CSS margins you say ?

I've been retarded with backups, just copying files/directories to a spare hard drive. Now I want to organize & reduce.

What's the best way to compare directories and see what files are duplicates? My subdirectories are all a mess (different naming conventions for mp3s, etc) so it would be best to work at the root level.

>>55784614
Seconding this.

>>55784614

what's the difference between SE and CS? I'm studying IT but i'm not an americuck so i dont know if im a CS studying pajeet

>>55784545
Thanks

>>55784667

CS is straight coding. SE heavily favors hardware but will also make sure you're at least sub-pajeet.

How much time would someone need to get proficient in security (web apps, dbs etc) with a virtual setup like this?: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/
the guy suggests ubuntu server with the OpenSSH server install option in order to use nginx.

Is it worth upgrading to Skylake if I have a 4790k?

>>55784707
>heavily favors hardware
in what sense
automatons, networking, OSs?

>>55784745
Not really

Why is speccy reading my RAM as 1063Mhz when it's 2133Mhz as well as my GPU at 4GB when it's 8GB?

what in ear headphones for games like counter strike?

>>55784848
1063x2= 2126MHz, its DDR, you multiply it for 2.
Probably you are using a new GPU speccy doesn't recognize or you need to upgrade your drivers.

>>55784888
Ah, I knew that in the back of my mind but for some reason I'd just forgotten. All my drivers are up-to-date according to GeForce, it's a 1070. Weird.

>>55784916
Its a new card, eventually speccy will roll out a version that will detect it correctly.
Its usual for this to happen with new cards.

Is there a SATA to USB cable where I don't have to worry about a dedicated power cord that will feed into the device?

Isn't the power from a USB port enough to power the HDD/SATA peripheral attached to it via the cable?

>>55784926
Ah alright, I wasn't aware of how long speccy took to update, thanks!

>>55784941
>Isn't the power from a USB port enough to power the HDD/SATA peripheral attached to it via the cable?
No.
2 Barely for a HDD and enough for a SSD.

Cracked my galaxy S5 screen. Gonna upgrade, need to wipe it. Is encryption + factory reset a secure method for wiping?

So I updated to Win10 out of hope it would resolve a problem my rig was having. Now that I've updated, my monitor is receiving no signal from the computer. Is this a common problem? Also what the fuck do I do.

>>55785002
I see
Would the safest option for a peripheral be to just use a molex to power cord adapter with a dedicated ATX PSU?

>>55785144
That's a bit excessive but it would work
A 12v 2a adapter should be fine

>>55785199
I'm worried about using the chink adapter that comes with it.

Thanks for all the info

>>55785066
if you're using a GPU try using onboard graphics

the GPU might have gotten disabled maybe

I can't get this mobo to fucking line up. It's driving me crazy.

Compare the bottom left and top screw holes to the screw middle right. Wtf is going on? Case is a Corsair 200r, mobo is a asus z170. The outputs line up great. Do I force it? Pls help.

>>55776117
Do we still like Noam Chomsky or no?

>>55785285
Unfortunately the only port thats not connected to the GPU is a male VGA so i'll need to see if any place nearby has a cord thats male to female, but thank you!

>>55785286

So it needs to be pushed to the left more? Last time I put together a Corsair case and Asus mobo I had the same problem. Had to place it in an angle and force it towards the left more.

>>55785357
should i just leave some screws out? i dont think i can force it anymore

got myself a nice debian install, first time using it. do you folks recommend upgrading to a newer kernel and using the testing branch, or do you recommend using the stable / 3.16.0-4?

>>55785398
the packages are very old on the stable branch

I personally like using the stable branch and installing newer versions of certain programs I need

I don't like dealing with an unstable core system

For Winshit, is there a type of license that expires? If I remember correctly only enterprise licenses can expire and all others are not sold on a time based model

My computer just made a sound from the inside of the case. It sounded like a "soft?" car horn or something.

Is it dying?

I am a comp sci student and I got an IT job by killing the interview and knowing some of the answers to the sysadmins questions from having a home "server", and a glowing recommendation by a professor. They pay me great for having so little experience, so I need a crash course in networking with a hardware and Windows server focus. Any suggestions?

>>55785714
"Soft car horn"
Really? couldnt you have came with something like, i dont know, a beep?

Probably BIOS POST, what were you doing with it?

>>55785732
>a beep
It didn't sound like a beep.

>what were you doing with it?
I was just browsing the internet

>>55785742
might want to open the case and check for loose pieces / screws etc if it happens again. but you shouldnt worry about it for now

>>55785742
probably a fan rubbing on something
stop rubbing your fans on things and you should be okay

Is there a mumble client for amazon tablet?

How retarded would be buy 4 USB cameras and connect them to a Raspberry PI for a cheap security camera setup?

>>55785918
I'm not sure one pi can handle 4 cameras

>>55785918
you'd be better of with a higher end board

>>55785957
It wouldnt handle 4 480p cameras?

>>55785967
you'd probably be stressing the pi quite a bit

>>55785985
Should i try use a Mid-High end computer(I5-4460) + UPS instead then?

I want to overclock my CPU.
>CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz
>CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX
>Mobo: MSI Z97 PC Mate(MS-7850) BIOS v4.3
>PSU: Corsair CX430 430W
To what end should I adjust CPU MHz and voltage to?

>>55786017
Your motherboard wont let you overclock a lot, and your PSU wont let you either unless you dont have a videocard.

>>55786005
dont think you'll be needing that, a laptop or older computer you may have handy should work for it. you should check how much power each of the cameras draw and compare it to how much power the rpi draws and see if it will be too much

>>55786017
Aim for maybe 4.2-4.4 and up to 1.3v if temps allow
Its only a dual core so the PSU shouldn't be an issue if your GPU isn't too power hungry.

>>55786062
I can extend the USB cables to 5-8m without problems right?

>>55786031
Would that mean 3.3 or 3.4GHz be manageable? Or is the power supply still a bottleneck? (I have a GPU drawing 2.046V)

>>55786134
i'm sure it'll be fine to do so

>>55786134
Going past 5 meters is probably not a great idea
You could use a USB over ethernet adapter maybe.

What are containers good for?
Should I learn about them before I set up my arch media server?

>>55786167
why use arch as a server? do you not want a server to be as stable as possible?

>>55786173
Well yes, but I've used an antergos server until now and it hasn't really been an issue.
Plus, I'm kind of hooked on the AUR. I never really got good at manually installing packages. Even Arch wiki can always help me when I get into deep waters.

Would it be possible to replace the ps3s RSX with another GPU?

>>55786223
fair enough. just remember to be careful and keep safe backups

>>55786251
No

When looking for UPS they are rated in VA.
How do i know how much this is in W?
Lets say, 1000VA?

>>55786315
Also Cyberpower is the best option right?

fucking grapes, how do they work

>>55786406
Sunlight and water go in, fruit comes out
You can't explain that

>>55786315
Depends on the efficiency of the unit

I have an old 560ti and I'm running dual screens on it.

When I move around windows, pieces of the window will be constantly stuck to the screen. Even when I'm watching a youtube video for example, a frame from that vid will be on top of whatever else I switched to.

This doesn't happen at all in games, it's just that been happening when i switch windows or tabs constantly.

>>55786533
are the drivers updated? what OS are you using?

>>55786544
Idle and only 2 case fans?
Yes then.

So I have the Zalman ZM-MIC1 mic (duh) which has 3,5 mm stereo jack (trs). Would it work if I'd connect it to a XLR mic in on an audio interface (no phantom power there)? What kind of a converter should I use if so?

(pic related)

>>55786560
I've 3 case fans on the bottom of my case the GPU is above the middle, the CPU is above the right one and my HDD is above the left one.

>>55786598
So you only have 3 intake fans but no exhaust fan?

>>55786613
I'll show a pic, two seconds..

>>55786553
win 7

updating now. looks like a lot of this is vr stuff tho.

So my GPU has been disabled, but my motherboard has no display ports. I cant see shit going on and have no idea what im supposed to do.

You can see two of the fans here, theyre blowing the air up and out the top, the left one is behind the casing.

try to SSH into the computer if possible, and do your best to sort it from there

Can I SLI/Crossfire graphic cards with different VRAM?
Let's say I have same card, except one is 8GB and the other is 4GB.
Since the vram doesn't stack it doesn't make much sense to pay more.

Can I do that?

>>55786718
vram is mirrored, I assume if it worked at all it would use the lowest common amount
