ok, so ya know how when we run java games and programs, it's done in a VM?

so why are there no machines that run java programs natively? how hard would it be to create one, SBC style?

Is it possible to find the location of a poster?

Now, given the situation that I'm in, if he adds a x8 card, will the system put it into SLI automatically or should I return the card to get two x8s?

I want to connect my laptop to a monitor and use said monitor as my primary screen.

If my laptops resolution is 1600x900, and the monitor in question is say 1920x1080, what happens to the resolution? Will performance be impacted?

I don't understand screens and shit at all.

>>56299492
people literally do this all the time. it'll be fine.

>>56299492
It will have an impact but for most things besides gaming it wont matter, you could probably go dual monitor if your hardware isnt garbage

>>56299257

>>56299492
what connector are you using?
depending on your graphics, even intel graphic can pump 1080p @ 60hz to monitor via hdmi
displayport, same thing
vga, maybe u can get 1080, maybe not. if that's your only connector, you may have an old machine that can't pump it out like that.
there's also the wireless monitor option, google and read up on that and you pc/monitor specifics

I suppose there's no reason you couldn't in theory create a system that worked like a physical implementation of the JVM and ran Java code natively. My guess is there's just not enough motivation to do so. Part of the point of Java is that it's portable and can run wherever, as soon as you start talking about building a specific architecture specifically to run it better it seems like you'd be better off just using a different language.

Then again, I'm hardly an expert, and there could very well be some instructions in the virtual machine that would be very difficult to implement in an actual hardware design.

Is there any way to force my browser to justify any block of text on web pages?

>Is it possible to find the location of a poster?
No.

>>56299904
Also to add to this, it would probably (though again I'm not an expert so could be wrong) be easier to simply write a compiler that compiles the Java code into proper machine code that your CPU can execute directly. Wouldn't be surprised if such a thing already existed, actually.

Though it would likely be a bit buggy since a lot of the more complex Java functions do expect to be executing in the JVM, so you'd have to port that stuff over somehow.

>>56299418
Only if you are a mod. Even then you only get an IP address, which only gives a general location, though you could always try to social engineer their ISP into telling it to you.

hardline, no wifi
set it to update while you sleep
set it to auto restart for updates

Recently, I installed Windows 7 SP1 and failed to install the updates because it was taking several hours to show any results. I left my computer on for a few days while I visited a friend, and when I returned the webcam light was on. I don't think that I have a virus, as it's a fresh installation and I use NoScript and Adblock on Firefox. Do you think there was just an opened port from out of date software that was exploited? If it was exploited, will the update fix the vulnerability? Should I do a malwarebytes scan? Will it even matter?

Friend died, I never really cried the first day, currently on the end of the second day and I feel nothing

I realize I'm autistic but fuck me I hate myself for not being able to break down, hope it doesn't happen at work if it happens

I built my PC with i5 6500 + EVGA GYX 1060 GAMING + Asus VG248QE 144 Hz monitor. I can get around 110-150 fps on my games, but since they're old (2007-2008), they're not optimized for modern stuff, then the fps may drastically drop from one moment to another based on maps/players' amount ecc.ecc. They're both source games, then I'm wondering what I could expect if I turned V-sync on. Since I'm running them on a 144 Hz monitor, would V-sync limit the fps close to 144 fps or would it limit the fps to around 60 fps?

everyone is different man.
i had to go alone to my dad's apartment and go through all his stuff after he passed in dec '08.
crying didn't just happen for me either. always thought it would up until then.
i kinda had to force myself to cry about it. (i'm slightly aspie). i miss him still, and i long for a chance to be with him again and i'm sad for the loss when i think about it, (like now... thanks for bringing it up), but i don't fall apart, just not my nature.

if you do happen to break down at work, hopefully someone there already knows about your loss and can comfort you or cover for you, explain to boss. - if you are really concerned it may heppen, and you work in a safety oriented job like driving, heavy equipment, medical, electrical - use a personal day, make your self cry about it so that that part is over and you can move on. also:>>>/adv/

Also rec for a new router, I only use WoW / slsk / libgen (I'm not sure if any of this matters) so it can be cheap.

Which is the best ad blocker?

Will upgrading from a G router to an AC router increase the range or just the speed? What about from N to AC?

I have a Netgear WGR614v10 which was a G when I bought it, but at some point there was a firmware upgrade that gave it a 150Mbps mode, so it might be N now.

>>56300511
ublock origin

>>56300512
if upgrading your router, make sure you device(s) have same tech - ac = most bandwidth and range
but don't go cheap - buy in the middle of the price range.

>>56300511
She's cute!!
Also, UBlock Origin to answer your question. Turn on a lot of the 3rd party filters in the settings when you get it.

>>56300506
Derp around with a few files in spacemacs, if only to get a taste of what it can do, but don't start with it. It shoves a bajillion config and packages down your throat. Not that that's bad, but you get a feel for your system by installing packages, configuring them and binding the keys yourself. The best course is to start with vanilla and add packages on top of it.

Evil mode is a must
Neotree ~ Nerdtree
YCM ~ company-mode autocomplete
Syntastic ~ Flychecker (it checks on the motherfucking fly)
Not sure about tagbar

Why are you switching anon?

>>56300628
Forgot a link. Here are some Emacs tutorial-screncast type things (the 01 to 19 files). They expire in 3 hours so get them now

>>56300628
It started because vim fucks up Lisp indenting and I wanted a Lisp editor, but I've read more into it and I've realized that there's a lot to like about Emacs
It may not be a permanent switch, but I want to keep an open mind

Thanks for the advice by the way

>>56300660
Lisp indentation is pretty good as far as I saw. Configs are (e)lisp anyway so you bump into it no matter how (un)interested you are in lisp. I also recommend `use-package', it helps with organising your configs (and flychecker requires it). Flycheker support lisp syntax checking out of the box but I guess you'll want to fiddle with it.

If you get the need for vim-like empty-line tildes, chuck this in your config:

(setq-default indicate-empty-lines +1)  ;; indicate which lines are empty
(progn
  ;; define a tilde bitmap face
  ;; [#b00000000  0
  ;;  #b00000000  0
  ;;  #b00000000  0
  ;;  #b01110001  113
  ;;  #b11011011  219
  ;;  #b10001110  142
  ;;  #b00000000  0
  ;;  #b00000000] 0
  (define-fringe-bitmap 'tilde [0 0 0 113 219 142 0 0] nil nil 'center)
  ;; set the tilde bitmap
  (setcdr (assq 'empty-line fringe-indicator-alist) 'tilde))
;; change the tilde collor to the theme's `comment` color
(set-fringe-bitmap-face 'tilde 'font-lock-comment-face)

Is rinsing a bottle I drank something out of thoroughly with tap water good enough to make it clean? Or will there still be invisible bacteria growing in it?

depends on what the bottle is made of
boiling water 100C or 212F is a good way to sterilize (but may be too hot for certain plastics) and it will get the soap residue out.

Just remove the hyphens and learn touch typing

I have a computer running that acts as a PLEX server and nothing else.

Sometimes, it crashes. This is fine with me, it's an old computer and it happens. I'm convinced the crashes are hardware based, since it crashes regularly on Windows, Ubuntu and Arch, currently running Ubuntu 15.04.

However, when the computer crashes, it seems to take my router down with it. Every time it crashes, I lose my internet and I can't access my router. If I'm fast, and I plug out the ethernet from the server the internet comes back up immediately. If I take too long in doing this, the router needs to be rebooted, but will immediately crash again unless I reboot the server.

Any idea what could cause this behavior?

I want to spider-crawl a sample website a few times with different apps.
Can someone suggest a simple website to spider-crawl. A nice modern website but no need for hundreds of links and sub-links. The whole site should be no more than 100MB maximum. Give me a website.

Also, why don't people on /g/ who are annoyed with companies like Mozilla make videos explaining to the mass public why they don't like them? Why do they whine here but never do anything about it?

>>56302692
It just saves a few seconds here and there.

If HDDs were slow as fuck it would be a different thing.

So if I have audio cutting in and out on my headphones depending on exactly how I position the cable and if I move it around, that's pretty definitively an issue with the cable itself, right?

Build poster here, from what I've heard it's mainly CPU, but with significant GPU acceleration for rendering effects (which I use often), so CPU > GPU but both are needed.

>>56302605
>>56302529
I want me some fast startup, so an SSD is definitely going in somewhere.

>>56302762
GPU acceleration depends on the specific software used.

Does anyone have the webm of the grub loader that says something like
>ganoo/loonix
>microshaft windoze
and after selecting a bunch of install gentoo lines?

>>56302210
Why GTX950 tho? If price is a concern go rx480.

>>56302777
Yes, it does. Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas both claim to make use of GPU acceleration, and I plan on using one (or both) of those two.

I know some other program's don't, and iirc DaVinci Resolve uses a shitton of it.

Upgrading from ubuntu to kubuntu.. Would a fresh install require me to wipe my files again?

If so, do I have to back up everything or can I make a disk image?

>>56302721
It has a major impact on system responsiveness. Which is part of why cloud storage is switching to them left and right. Yes, for large consecutively written media files there's very little difference, which is why having an HDD for bulk storage makes sense. But for running your programs and particularly your OS the overall improvement is substantial. Which is why you can go back to a 5+ year old pc, throw an SSD in there and make that baby a snappy, functional machine again. I've done it. Repeatedly. I understand the logic you're employing here, and I have no problem with your personal decision. But for most people SSDs are absolutely something I'd recommend, especially now that they're so much cheaper than the used to be. And I don't think it's fair to go around pushing your personal opinion on people as if it's gospel fact. That's how the "SSD meme" meme got started. It's not the opinion of /g/, it's the opinion of a vocal minority.

I'm looking to buy a Nvidia GTX 680 graphics card. But I'm confused because there seems to be many different versions of the same card. The standard ASUS GeForce, and then one called Windforce. But I've seen at least two other kinds. What's the difference between these, and why are there so many? Are they all the same? Are some of them knock-offs?

>>56302806
The rx480 is double the price (at least it is where I live)

I don't need a particularly high end GPU, and the GTX950 is the sweet spot in value-for-money.

I made a thread like a retard about this but I have an RX200 vape mod that I'm rather ignorant of how the TCR works or is meant to be set up?

Running a tank with a .2ohm 316L stainless steel cartridge atm any feedback would be great.

>>56302860
>TCR
Therman Coefficient Resistance
Normally the device has already set up values for Nickel Titanium and SS, but TCR allows you to setup your own, more precise ir maybe if you'e using your own wire, whatever it may be, some people say they could use Nichrome or different sorts of steel.

I want to make a media server but I came across plex. Is plex the best out there? do I need something like plex? is there any free alternatives to plex?

>>56302880
well right i have it set on the SS mode, but what I'm trying to divine is what temp to set it at and what the wattage in relation to it should be

I get that it measures the current temperature of the coil through its current resistance, but not what i should set it at for my specific setup and what wattage i should set it to in relation to the temperature i want to vape at

>>56302843
nvidia get other companies to make their cards for them. All of them have the same GPU, but they might have different PCBs and coolers.

>>56302894
>what wattage
It gepends on the size of the coil, it's pretty empiric.
If you fire and for the first two seconds it's loud and vapor is too hot - too much
If you fire and it heats up slowly - not enough
>what temperature
i think around 250C slightly more or less is OK.

>>56302630
>>56302625
So if i were to put on an aftermarket cooler, the reference model would be best? Or if i were going watercool it?

>>56302921
so its basically just like tuning a carb, you gotta find the sweet spot the old fashioned way?

As far as TC modes go, if i'm continuously firing will it keep heating until the temp is met and then shut off or will it simply keep the coil at that temp without over heating it? I'm still not sure i understand the point beyond when you are using Ni200 or Titanium since cooking those too hot will give you a nice case of lung cancer

>>56299257
what's the law on EDCing lockpicks in the UK?

>>56302940
if you want add watercooling later you might have a hard time finding a fitting one for that specific PCB, so the reference card would be best since it's the same for all manufacturers

Does google voice call from a US number? I don't have my own google voice account because I'm not US but I am still able to make calls using the app and it shows as unknown number

>>56302946
>it simply keep the coil at that temp without over heating it?
This.
The thing is supposed to keep it smooth.
The perfect TC experience is
1 heats up quicly
2 keeps comfortable temperature
3 prevents dry hits
>Im still not sure i understand the point beyond when you are using Ni200 or Titanium
They have massive TCR compared to SS
Two years ago the first TC Mods weren't sensitive enough to measure resistance change in SS they were using Nickel simply because it has very high temperature coefficient. With time they grew more precise and using SS became possible.
Some people are trying to use nichrome but it's TCR is too low and results suck.
Kanthal will likely never fly ON TC because it's TCR is near zero.

If I understand correctly, my IP is dynamic, no? Yet, I've left the router completely unplugged for 3 weeks during a vacation, and still it didn't change. I've also tried a bunch of tricks on the router config site, such as releasing and renewing. Also, if I try switching to my old router, I get errors saying something about invalid IP and is unable to connect.

What the hell is going on here? Am I being cucked by my ISP?

Couple of quick questions.
I'm thinking about building logicalincrement's superb/excellent tier.
Going for either rx 480 or nvidia 1060, what would be a decent time to buy them, given that i'm in europe so no black friday n shit?
Also is there some alternative for the case and HDD? i just need something simple but big enough for the first and only 250GB or so for the second.

why cant linux into vsync with multiple monitors with differing refresh rates? (60 and 120)

using nvidia drivers atm and no matter what I try in nvidia-settings or compton, it draws things like crap, when vsync is set in either.

The mouse is still fluid like 120hz, but everything else like just simply dragging a window around is clearly not 120. Looks even worse than 60 partially desu.

Anyone has this working somehow?

Don't want to install win10 just for something basic as working vsync.

(setup is 60hz on the left as secondary and 120hz on right as primary)

>>56303844

Yes, your IP is probably dynamic, because it's not worth it to give their average user a static one. It's like a premium feature. But there's no guarantee they'll change your IP at any given interval, or even at all. Your old router might not have the correct login for your ISP, but there's a good chance it wouldn't matter anyway. You can try calling them up and asking them to change it, or you can just accept your ban.

A shipping company mishandled my old (2011) computer and broke the case, the motherboard and the graphics card.

My old setup was:

>CPU: i5 2500 3.3Ghz Box Socket 1155.
MB: Asus P8H67-M B3.
RAM: 4GB.
GPU: Asus GeForce GTS 450 1GB GDDR5.
>POW SRC: Thermaltake Litepower 600W.

(in greentext the components I intend to keep)

My problem is that I would like to get 16GB of RAM in the new setup and a GTX 750 Ti or a Nitro RX 460, both with 4GB of VRAM; and also get a motherboard with USB 3.0 capabilities. However, if I want to keep the processor with a 1155 socket (2nd gen), I will have to use an outdated MB without USB 3.0 and won't let me get to 16GB RAM.

Is it worth it to invest in a newer MB and a processor with a similar speed but with a 1150 socket?

This is the setup I was thinking about:

CPU: i5 4460 3.2Ghz socket 1150.
MB: Gigabyte H81M-S2H.
RAM: 16GB.
GPU: Asus STRIX GTX 750 Ti 4GB GDDR5 /or/ Sapphire Radeon NITRO RX 460 4GB GDDR5.
>POW SRC: Thermaltake Litepower 600W.

Is this a good idea?

I have partially downloaded a moderately large torrent of about 300 episodes of a TV show (~50 gb). I have 32gb of that data, with some seasons 100% complete, although I don't know which ones.

Since that time, my boot HDD died, along with my torrent client's cache/data (deluge). The actual video files were on a different drive, and predictably, many of them still play. On top of this, I got the torrent from KAT, which is now dead, so I can't just get the magnet link and scan+resume it with a newly installed torrent client.

Is there anything I can do, at least to discover which episodes are properly filled with data, and not just allocated space? Just an idea, but maybe a feature of python or bash that I can loop through files in each sub-directory? I use "full allocation" option in deluge. My only other idea is to open up 300 files manually and seeking through each one, there must be a faster way.

>>56299289
I use webroot.

>>56305282
search for it on a different torrent site. if it was on KAT it's probably on another tracker too. see if anything pops up, download the torrent, then scan the files?

idk that's going to be a bitch to fix

>>56305282
are you absolutely sure that the same torrent isn't available on another site?

>>56305271
>1 Is it difficult to figure out the cabling from the motherboard and power supply to each part?
no. it's pretty much idiot-proof, you can't put a wrong cable somewhere. there are dozens of good tutorials on youtube if you aren't confident. I suggest watching a bunch of them while waiting for your parts to arrive, or even before.
>2 Also what happens the first time you turn it on?
the system boots into UEFI/BIOS, you choose a media to boot from. On first boot, this is installation media, so typically a usb drive or an optical drive.
>3 Is the BIOS part of the motherboard?
yes
>4 Do you need to change anything there?
the boot order. this describes the list of priorities that your bios will attempt to boot from. this is easy, even easier now that all bios have mouse support and high resolutions. the manual that comes with the motherboard will explain it if you can't find the option, but it really shouldn't be a problem.
>5 Do you just install the OS straight away?
after the above, yes
>6 Can it be done by a USB drive if I don't have an optical drive?
on every modern motherboard, yes. it's much faster this way, and even more so if you have a usb 3 drive
>7 Should I get an optical drive, maybe a bluray to watch some movies?
that's up to you. there are better options these days to watch video content, but an internal drive is not a big investment.

My grandma died, and it was very similar to your stuff; I had it in my head if anyone gave me shit about anything I could counter with "my grandma just fucking died", but if you're planning an emotional outburst then it's not really legit, so there's that. She had Dementia for the last year, so her death was kinda more "formal" in the sense that she was already gone for a while so I always just thought the Dementia obscured her death. Seeing my grandpa break down when he saw her body at the funeral home hit pretty hard, but my dad's eulogy had me properly going. Humans are weird, and movies don't even come close to the actual truth.

>>56305282
if you can get ahold of the .torrent file you can verify what's done

if you're still checking the thread, like a lot of western countries it's illegal unless you have them for professional reasons

but really, in what scenario do you expect to be searched by the police? you'd have to be doing something illegal to begin with or the police will need a good reason to suspect you're doing something illegal, like a burglary in the area and you match the suspect, otherwise you can refuse a search, in which case they'd never know you were carrying the lockpicks

but in any other case, the police will likely take a common sense approach and not arrest you on the spot but may confiscate them or give you a verbal/written citation or something, it's a lot like < 3 inch knives (something else you edc fags tend to carry about), technically illegal but if you have a good reason to be carrying them nobody is really going to care unless you're doing something illegal

I'm having a weird experience /g/.

Since people have said that Cortana can't be easily disabled after the anniversary update to W10, I decided to Google how to do it. In the first page I found, some symptoms of having Cortana enabled were listed, I noticed that I was suffering none of those. It then pointed me to some place in the registry, so obviously I went and opened my registry, and when I was just about to navigate to the right place (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search) I found that I was already somewhere very similar (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search) and that the place that I was supposed to navigate to was actually no where to be found.

Does this indicate that I've disabled Cortana already and simply don't remember doing it? Or is she still alive?

Also, a question from a friend of mine who hasn't touched W10 in like 8 months (he's wisely dropped it for Linux). "Why can't you just delete the [Cortana] program outright? Just write some zeros into the executable, or if Windows 10 keeps on repairing it with every update, can't you just make a batch file and put it in startup to delete it (or you can even setup a service to run as admin)?".

Can anyone answer that?

>>56305709
>What do I do to be static proof to build this if the place you are has a non removable carpet?

if you give a shit, get a wrist strap that plugs into mains earth connection (the "cordless" ones are pure snakeoil) and do the work on an esd mat that also connects to earth ground

if you give less of a shit, do not wear any synthetic material such as nylon for clothing and try to stick to pure cotton, don't wear socks as static charge will slowly dissipate when barefoot on carpet, and occasionally touch some unpainted metal, if it's connected to ground that's preferable but if not available an unpainted part of the case or a cpu heatsink will do the job

if you don't give a shit, don't take any precautions, the risk for static discharge to damage components on densely populated boards like motherboards is extremely slim

that's not how VSYNC works.

it doesnt limit your frames, it locks it to the monitor's refresh-rate.
and if the FPS drops below the refresh rate (without gsync or freesync) it will cut your frames in half and you will get an even worse experience.

lower your graphics settings/resolution.

Blue oleds need the most power, reds the least. So you could enable the standard android night color filter (whatever it's called) and cut out the blue. But the most effective strategy would be to switch to dark/black themes wherever possible and use a browser which can invert web pages making to display white text on black background; Firefox has a nice addon for that.

Do you have any info from the crash dump or the kernel panic? That will tell you where the error is occurring. Follow these directions for Windows https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542953(v=vs.85).aspx. For the kernel panic, you'll need a monitor connected to the server to see what the issue is. It won't tell you over SSH when it panics.

As for the router, I'm not entirely sure. It sounds like the PLEX server is flooding the interface and causing the router to become bogged down dealing with its requests, though I can't say for certain what the issue is without more information.

I assume that you're getting the GTX950 for the CUDA cores. NGL, unless you're going to do 3D rendering and/or compositing, that feels a little over kill. The integrated GPU with the i5-6500 should be more than enough to handle 1080p video editing. Dependent on what you are doing, your RAM could be a little bit of a bottleneck.

>>56302810
>>56302846
then you should just bite the bullet and get an i7 and a good GPU, not some old budget card. you're gonna save so much time rendering. and you might get a big boost because of some new feature.

>>56302843
dont buy old hardware unless it's at a really cheap price. check GPU benchrmark charts and remember you wont be getting the latest features like DirectX support, free-/gsync and much more.

>>56303262
take it to a repair shop or call support.

>what would be a decent time to buy them
whenever you can afford to buy all the parts you need. both amd and nvidia just released their cards so they wont drop in price any time soon.
>Also is there some alternative for the case and HDD?
there's alternatives for everything. do your own research and check case reviews on youtube or other hardware review sites. for HDDs it's WD blue, Toshiba and Hitachi are the best. Seagate used to be bad but got better. Dont get anything under 2TB because the price per GB will be higher.

Could be a charge issue with the mainboard, that or you've got something in the system that is eating up your battery life. Looking at the percentage that it has used, a background task that Android is running may be the issue here.

That's what I did first, immediately after the reboot happened. All event viewer has to say about it is a generic kernel-power error 41:

SSD question

Should I go for 120 GB or 256 GB?

Soon there will be discount in my local store in Europoor. 120 GB version for about 30 bucks and 256 GB for 55 bucks. Both are from ADATA, TLC.

What I'm going to have on it? Windows 10 + some programs. I play games like Witcher, CSGO etc.

What do you keep on your SSD and how much free space do you have?

The difference in price for you may be small, but converted to my currency it is big.

>>56307279
They don't monitor/log that stuff.

>>56307315
Who doesn't log what stuff?

>>56307304
250+

>>56307322
ISPs dont monitor/log anything except who is using what IP.

>>56307344
Could you tell me why I should go for 250 GB? What else can I put on SSD?

>>56307344
Well I was told CenturyLink cared about torrenting. Do they or do they not?

>>56307360
Your OS and any program/game you want to load fast. I have a 128GB drive and it's constantly full just from a few games.

Get the Adata one, never heard of TLC.

>>56307370
That's a completely different fucking thing. It does not mean they monitor your fucking traffic and look at what you are doing.

It just means that they log your IP to the time you used it so if they get a copyright infringement notice they can prove it was you who used it and that time and send you a letter.

They will still be able to get your IP or personal info if you're using a VPS, and thus can send you a letter if you torrent something.

>>56307055
Get a EVGA 650 G1 or GS.

>>56307055
Corsair is overpriced and not as good as they used to be back when Seasonic made most of their units.

where can i get a cracked windows 10 code?

>>56307304
250-260GB minimum.
Get an ADATA SP550 or save for a 850 EVO.
Always keep 10% free.

>>56307402
So you're saying I'd get copyright notice just for data being passed to and fro my VPS at a certain time? I've got a hard time believing that.

>>56307402
Well 256 GB is still too small for keeping all games.

So SSD isn't a meme?

>>56307419
>always keep 10% free
Isn't that the whole reason it's a 240GB SSD and not a 256GB one?

>torrent thru VPS
>your VPS IP is listed on the torrent
>they send a copyright infringement notice to your VPS provider

Excatly that model from ADATA will be discounted.

Pull Exif location data out of photos they post. Get them to click a link to a file/site you host and log their ip. If they use a Tripcode google around social media and other sites for people that use that username. Or just use some code injected into an image that runs when viewed in browser, good luck finding an unpatched vulnerability/zeroday.

Idiots post there actual email address in those "I'll send 1 million dollars to trips/dub" threads on /b/ all the time. No one ever secures social media or sites that make you use your real name, so I can find there name by searching around on google in under 5 minutes 90% of the time.

>>56307440
I've already been torrenting with my VPS for forever, I'm not worried about the VPS provider getting copyright notices. I'm worried about it happening to my ISP. Never had an issue when I went through TWC, I'm just seeing if it'll be different now that I'm going through CenturyLink.

Crossfire yes, SLI I have no idea.

>>56307432

But its not really fast for a SSD.

Still way faster than other low end SSDs and ofcourse, any HDD.

>>56307410
>Corsair is overpriced
For real ? The HX750i is about the same price as the Seasonic Platinum 650 I was going to go with originally.
Sadly though, that Seasonic is out of stock literally everywhere I've looked with no ETA on when they'll be back in stock.

>>56307405
Aside from being 80+ Gold rated while the HX750i I'm looking at is Platinum rated, that 650 GS doesn't have as many SATA connectors as I'd like. Not an option, need 10 or more.

>>56307430
that's why you get a fucking HDD aswell. keep most used games and programs on the SSD and everything else on the HDD.

Check all the cables/loose connections. Clear the CMOS again. Update the BIOS.

Once it's working again don't change a bunch of settings incorrectly in the(now default) BIOS causing it to fail to boot again.

Pull out a few sticks of RAM, stare at them blankly then put them back in, usually works. Some dipshit bios's like to pick random timings/speed/voltage for memory and save the one that boots(not the correct stable settings). I've cleared a BIOS and had it change RAM settings to something different ever time I cleared it.
