When does the next Xeon socket come out?

I wanna get a server, but I don't want my socket to be outdated in a fucking year.

My desktop died so now I am running on a 4 year old laptop with windows 7. I am experiencing the windows rot like no other. Are there any ways to cure this?

I upgraded to W10 recently (PC that is only used to play gaymes and little else, don't meme about it), and it fucked up my boot, and I have no clue why. I can only get it to boot if I hold F8 to prompt the boot menu and manually select the disk where Windows is installed, otherwise it leads me to a screen that says my installation is corrupt, mentioning winload.exe.

I tried googling around, which led me to trying to repair it by using bootrec.exe in Recovery, but when I do so, the commands tell me that I don't have any partition with Windows installed, therefore doing nothing.

Additional info that might be relevant, while in Windows, it always shows one of my 2 disks as an external disk, but only one or the other, never both. (SSD with Windows on it, HDD without).

Anyone ever experienced anything like this? Shit's really fucking weird.

Just installed windows 7, had to install a shit ton of drivers and some other updates.
I believe I'm still missing a few.

If i uninstall windows 7 and install windows 10, will it come with the updates and drivers or will I have to install some of that shit too.

Some examples of the updates I'm talking about is that emoji update thing where I could see the emoji text rather than a box.

It will be "fine", but just know that maximum efficiency is achieved at half the load.

I use my laptop alot, but I also use it in a office type environment daily too. To the point where I probably use the equivalent of two full battery charges per day. In terms of increasing longevity am I better off leaving it plugged in to the charger whenever possible, or letting the battery run down and only plugging it in when it needs charge? I'm guessing if I let it run down I should only let it get to around 20% before charging right?

defrag, ccleaner to mop up any random files. use ccleaner to go through and uninstall any and all programs you don't need or use any more. run ccleaner again to clear up aything maybe left behind. then use the tool to clear up the registry.

It should have an ssd or i should be able to put ny own ssd in it I already have.

Multi purpose for work / travel. (Don't need a large screen can use monitor at home) so lightweight would be handy.

I mean its an okay cooler so it may not be worth replacing unless you want to spend a lot more, its just that it costs twice as much as air coolers that work just as well.

So I've heard about CPU transistors reaching a size limit and the amount they can fit on a chip, and it makes me wonder: what's stopping them from just making the chips bigger?

2x size the chip, 2x the amount of transistors = more calculations = more speed, no? Mind you I know just about bum-fuck about CPU technology, but this is my current understanding.

>Why can't I write a 10 hour 500mb audio file to a 700mb audio disk?
because you don't understand how CDs work
the red book/audio cd/CDDA standard defines exactly what the format of the audio is, and how it's stored
that format is raw, uncompressed PCM at a specific bit depth and sample rate
this means the amount of audio in real time is fixed from the beginning

just the fact that you said "700mb audio disk" tells me everything, "700mb" is only applicable to (mode1) CD-ROM, cd-rom and cd-audio are /different standards/ which simply use the same physical media

you can fit arbitrary compressed audio on a cd, but unless it meets the standard, it won't play back in standard players properly

I just need to do college stuff/shitpost/make and play 2d indie games/emulators etc.
How do I find out if it can run stuff like directx?
A lot of 2d indie games seem to have all sorts of dumb unnecessary graphics requirements these days that keeps my old acer aspire from running them, and I don't want those issues.
The price seems so great I almost want to just try it, but amazon only accepts returns if it's broken or defective (or unopened) and I don't want to have a $160 paperweight so I figured I'd ask first.

>>56188366

you can change how the filenames are formatted, here's what i use;

"[20130519] mitch murder - mirage (BuHt0xSbru8).m4a"

>>56188384
Don't get that.
You'll want a laptop with a 960m gpu or better.
The one you linked doesn't even have a gpu, it uses the cpu to process graphics which is significantly less capable.
Just search around on amazon/newegg etc for machines with nvidia cards and when in doubt about a specific gpu look at notebookcheck.com
Take their page on the 960m for example
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960M.138006.0.html
Scroll down and it shows you gaming bemchmarks, click the fps numbers to see the other specs of the machine they tested with, then compare that to the machine you're looking at.

>>56186704
Yeah, but I'm not going to be buying for a long time.

If I got the current socket now when the next one is so close, I'd be getting a bad deal.

Besides, Intel only updates their Xeon sockets after the second generation of CPUs for it is released.

I should be fine two years after the purchase, and years afterwards, the price of chips will fall and I can get the top-of-the-line stuff that used to cost upwards of a grand for a hundred bucks for two matching CPUs.

I have some understanding of VB.Net and C/C++ but I haven't coded in so long so I am very rusty. I know I should've used that time to learn Java or something but I had to grapple with crippling depression and wanting to kill myself.

>>56189044
Yes, but only the older models. The new ones look like shit. If you're looking to buy a laptop, check out the thinkpad general. They're pretty cheap, comes in a lot of sizes for your preference, and are pretty good hardware-wise. Definitely the best laptops you can get for your buck. Just got mine few days ago

>>56189049
what extra cable?
tv connects to internet via wifi or ethernet and to cable via co-axial
HDMI for bluray

>>56189060
that's one setup.
now imagine you have a set top box you get the signal from which has an ethernet connection.
so you only have one ethernet cable to the set top box instead of a second one to the TV as well.

>>56189026
Just remember that they can never prove anything so long as you exercise caution

and usually no, if it's a big school

How exactly do those websites that offer supposedly original serial keys for cheap actually work? I mean, if some vidya is 50$ on Steam and 10$ on a site like G2A, what's the deal there? Do they hack Steam and steal those keys or what?

>>56190193
they pretend to be a reviewer and beg for some keys from the developer in exchange for a good review.
often you get more than one key to giveaway to friends and other reviewers to spread the word about the game.

sometimes it's just stolen credit cards, you buy a key and sell it before it gets disabled.
though most developers don't disable keys for that exact reason it would only hit the guy who paid for it in good faith.

>>56190193
Often the keys are acquired illegally through credit card fraud, but not directly by G2A themselves.

>>56190193
Sometimes it's fraud, where they buy games and sell them on the marketplace as some form of money laundering.
Also, they'll take advantage of region pricing. By that I mean that let's say Russia's price for HL2 is equivalent to $20 but the actual American price is closer to $25. Then Russians would buy keys in bulk and sell them for $22.50

>>56190234
Steam region locks keys now so regional pricing abuse isn't really as relevant.

>>56190220
>>56190223
>>56190234
So if I buy a key from some chinks, would I be at risk of getting busted by Steam and having my entire account fucked up? I mean, they swear the keys are legit and work globally, and I know the place I'm looking to buy from has been around for many years, so it can't all be snake oil, right?

>>56190278
I've never heard of steam doing anything to people's accounts who buy from the key resellers, but you are basically endorsing credit card fraud by using shady resellers.

Hi. I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (upgrading from Note 2) and I understand the battery is not removable. So I was wondering can Samsung replace the battery for you in 2 years or do you just put up with a shit battery life after the 2 year mark?

My sister has this iPad that is having issues with their wlan connection. I noticed when I tried to set it up with chromecast; I had to update it to get the Netflix app, but it said It couldn't verify the update, because I'm not connected to the intenet, even thought I clearly were. I then proceeded to update the iOS version via iTunes with computer. Now it can't stream anything, Netflix doesn't even show the Chromecast icon, and in youtube it just shuts the casting screen off immediately. Must be something to do between the modem and iPad? The signal drops from 1 bar to full bars alot, but never disconnects. Also I have reset the networking settings on iPad and restarted it multiple times. What do?

>>56190330
Just buy new Note every two years, problem solved!
>samsung want you to do this, that's why the battery cannot be removed without screwdriver

>>56190330
You could probably find a repair shop that would replace it for you.

I just recently replaced the cmos battery in my motherboard maybe 3 months ago after my clock kept constantly resetting, but for some reason it randomly started again yesterday. I have to manually click "Set time automatically" over and over. Any idea why my clock keeps fucking up?

Not really sure about different operation systems, but it's pretty standard practice to take harddrives out of old builds and put it in new ones.

It's hard to distinguish if they are intentionally making it hard or just not giving a shit about their older system. But they've been switching to cumulative updates, and once you're current you shouldn't have any problems. The main annoyance is that starting in the fall they're switching to an update system "inspired by" win10 by only offering a single update every month (no more choosing individual KBs).

Anyway the following updates should get you over the hump:


support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612
microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47351
support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3179573

2-1 tablets are really limited, but is the best option you have for something new in the $200 range.

2-4GB RAM and an Atom CPU that werks with 32-64GB storage, some come with a 500GB inside the keyboard.
But the average battery is 8-10 hours.
You cant change the eMMC that comes with the tablet, you cant increase the RAM, cant add another HDD or replace it, etc.

And this is why everyone will tell you, get a used thinkpad.

>>56194689
Actually it's that when you have a windows 7 install that hasn't received the new update clients they've been releasing over the last year, windows just can't sync with microsoft's current update system. Also if you're getting most of your post-SP1 updates for the first time and you don't have the current month's 'update rollup' then the initial update tends to take several hours.

Open it and clean it up. Gunked up fans run louder. Dirty surfaces dissipate less heat and dirty vents have a lower airflow, making fans run faster to mantain the same temperature.

WD40 ISN'T lubricant

it can help with squeaks, but you're better off using actually spray lubricant

>probably, but it'll squeeze a few more months of lifetime out of them while you save up for their replacements

>>56196077
I'm aware, I just wanted to put that out there

a lot of people seem to believe WD40 can be used as a lubricant, when that's not its purpose

should I sell my card to my brother and get a new card, or just stick with it?

There's your problem. Upgrade yourself and your brother.

>>56196123
your 290 should have no problems driving any game at high settings

>>56179608
So my dad needs a laptop to take to and from work. He's mostly going to be using it for Excel, a program called property boulevard, and probably youtube and facebook when at home. What laptop should he get. I don't know anything about laptops.

That's the one they're looking at, but the processor looks pretty weak. He have to to have a screen around that size too.

>>56184464
hmmm i feel like i should know this.

i'd guess it could be just different compression settings for whoever ripped the FLAC's. Could also be 96k vs 44.1k sample rate, or different media releases (CD/Vinyl/Web). I don't think you'd find this inconsistency with .WAV or .AIFF

>>56196195
it doesn't, but I have a 1440p monitor now and wouldn't mind a bit more power

and I can potentially help my brother out (since a 290 is almost the same as a 480, but in Canada a 480 is over $350)

>>56195692
Do you use any fan control software to make sure they're not going at 100% at all time?

>>56196291
but what you will buy will give you very little boost... 390 is identical to 290 with bit more clocks on gpu and vram
and furies are limited by 4gb ram in the future, so not that great investment

but if you would be selling 290 for $100 and buying gtx1070 that I could understand

>>56196293
nope, I don't think my mobo supports PWM control except for CPU fan, maybe?

it's a Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3

which one should i get? going to be using lot of photoshop/cad

Tell dad to reconsider
dragging huge 17" inch notebook every single day in and out is not ideal. And work in front of it is too bleh meh...

ideal would be if he had docking station at work/home and bring only some small, light 13". Dock it at work, and keyboard, mouse, monitor, lan, charging,... all would come up and he would use it as regular PC. Then take it home and got docking for home too, or use it as small notebook there..

maybe even better would be sharing data between two PCs, it would be also backup and comfort


Annyway, HP got decent shit for price, but dont expect greatness... low brightness screen only visible in room, never outside, and shitty touchpad...

>>56196358
What do you use that box for? Shitposting, movies, or games? If you don't need much actual cooling, consider disabling all fans except for CPU and using passive coolers for everything else.

I've tried, but it's still loud-ish

I'm pretty sure my PSU fan is being gay

no those are shit.. they come with some cherry trail CPU that can barely run Win10

How do I partition my hard drive so I can install a linux distro?
I don't want to completely uninstall my current OS right now, but will after I install all the drivers on Linux and get fixated.

Does MSI charge shipping for sending them a GPU to be RMA'd? Thinking of RMA'ing my 390 but don't have any spare money.

>>56196503
Does it only have male connectors?

>>56196518
even if I just need it for web browsing, pdf reading and word processing?

>>56196742
idk but it's sucks

>>56196697
in windows
disk manager
give yourself empty 30GB partition, at least
install on it, no other partitions
no swap partition, no bullshit
single partition

I installed mactype and now discord's font rendering is all fucked up

I know people use windows to play games instead of using Linux. Is this because it's faster, or is it because some games don't run on Linux? Is there a list of working games?

Will an overcooked fx 8320e and an rx 470 play almost everything one would want at 1080p?

>>56196999
They don't run on linux. VM with gpu passthrough (integrated for linux, gpu for vm) should do it.

>>56196999
dont bother going in to rabid hole of games on linux
learn to dual boot
think of windows as the gaming os
and linux as your main OS
the end, live happily ever after

Since the anniversary update from W10 all my internet is being used by Service Host: Local System. When i expand it on the task manager it says something about Windows Update, but going to Settings > Update & Security doesn't show any update being downloaded.
I just cant stop the fucking process too, doesn't matter what.
Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix this? I'm downloading the MTS version right now.

>>56197201
Here.

No ideia why i wrote MTS there, its actually the enterprise version, the one that is supposed to not have forced updates. When i do manage to close the specific svchost.exe task that consumes the internet, it get backs by itselfs after 15 minutes.

How are skylake cpus and mobos with win7?
Are they compatible? I'm planning on buying an i3 6100 with a cheap mobo but I don't want to be forced to use win 10.

>>56198272
Fully compatible, you might have problems with USB if your motherboard doesnt have USB 2.0 ports so you better have a PS2 keyboard around for the installation, everything else will work fine.
