Are there any dangers to the actual hardware when you undervolt?
I want to undervolt to keep my FX8320 cooler at stock speeds, but I don't want to damage it.

Running with an -0.006 offset right now, but I want to increase that. I went as far as +0.8 when overvolting to overclock and it was stable.

I was searching a board with flags and when I posted it showed a Russian flag instead the Spanish one where I am. I looked for my ip address location on the Internet and some pages showed Spain while others showed Russia. Yesterday I posted and it showed a Spanish flag. Should I be worried?

>>56515994
It will show the flag of the most local distribution point.

Being routed through Russia if you're in western Europe is kinda weird, though.

You might have to be worried. Maybe botnet.

What am I doing wrong? Why won't foobar show the tracks from the cue files instead of the mp3s?
Tried to write cuesheets to let foobar know about where the individual movements are within each track. They're properly formatted as far as I can tell and if I drag the cue files into foobar it reads them fine.

>>56516025
Why don't you just use Winamp, though?

Using foobar is like useless MPV elitism without the advantage of framesync.

Winamp has been the basic "it just werks" music player for like 20 years now.

It also has the most based visualizations. Milkdrop is fucking insane on modern CPU/GPU combos and runs in 1080p at 60+ fps if you have a decent setup.

Don't follow meme shit.

Took a random pic of Milkdrop running on my TV as a second screen for you.

Why is my PC/GPU louder at lower fan speed?

I was getting over 70C on some games and I could hear my (supposedly) my gtx780 working, nothing too much, but enough to notice. Because of reasons I ended up making a custom fan settings in msi afterburn with the most important being 60% at 60C and 70% at 65C. Now the fans spin faster with getting to over 2000rpm, but my temperature not only does not reach 70 any more, but I can barely hear the fans. Was I even hearing the fans before or what? I don't understand how this is suppose to work.

Asus cpu installation tool, do I remove it after I've seated the cpu?

M8 Milkdrop has like 100s of presets better than Foobar and there's a community scene behind it.

O-oh. It's just hwmonitor reading it wrong. It reads it with CPU usage, and data can get weird if you leave it running long enough. Your temp never went above 50C though, so if I'm wrong and it's not a hwmonitor glitch, then you might want to overclock to 13GHz.

Does the iPhone 7 have the speaker grill on the top too, or it's just the 16 holes on the bottom?

Because in the presentation videos (pic related) the effects seem to imply it has sound coming from both sides, but from what I see it looks like it only comes out of the bottom.

I can't find pictures of that side that aren't sketchy "leaks" or mockups.

floor type doesnt matter as long as it is not a fabric like a carpet.

grounded means it is connected to the physical ground under your house like a lightning rod protector.

you need to touch METAL. psu has to be plugged into the wall outlet but does not have to be switched on, the ground is still connected while off.

like >>56516884 said you can also ground yourself by touching a radiator or water pipe.

Ah ok, neat.

If anyone doesn't mind helping me out,

Taking a class on C#, I'm running into an issue with validation. The point of my program is to allow campus security to give out tickets, it calculates whether the violator is a guest, faculty, or student.

if ( violator == student )
            {
                if ( checkBox1.Checked == true )
                {
                    if ( (speed - 35) >= 20)
                    {
                        fee = violator + (((speed - 35) / 5) * feeExtra) + 120;
                    } else if ( (speed - 35) <= 20)
                    {
                        fee = violator + (((speed - 35) / 5) * feeExtra) + 50;
                    }
                } else if ( checkBox1.Checked == false )
                {
                    fee = violator + (((speed - 35) / 5) * feeExtra);
                }
            }

^Here's whats causing an issue. If the student is a senior, they get charged an extra $50, which is what checkbox1 is. And if the senior is traveling more than 20mph over the speed limit, the extra amount is $120 instead of $50.

But everytime, my program skips over whether or not its checked and just runs this bit for when a student is selected:

fee = violator + (((speed - 35) / 5) * feeExtra);

Any ideas on what could fix it? Please and thank you.

i guess you have a point about it having different meanings depending on where you're from. but where i'm from it's both music and photos, you usually specify it when you talk or it's understood from the context.
in this case it's dropbox which is used for all kinds of files, not only images, so i guessed it was song files.

>>56517036
you're just 5 years older than me

>>56516932
Instead of using the same variables for your if statement and calculations, use a different one for the if.

Can I also buy the case later and use it as an external disk?

How in the hell are you getting an external one cheaper than an interior one?

if you mean internal drives, you need to flip it the fuck around and look at the bottom, bro.
most external drives have plastic case.

you should not use an internal HDD outside of your computer case (without an enclosure) because it has exposed circuits.

Yes you can buy a case for an internal HDD and use as external. Just make sure you get a 3.5" enclosure.

>>56517726
you cant future proof the CPU and GPU.
literally any other CPU would be far better and i bet that shit you mentioned with bottleneck the fuck out of a 480 or anything similar.
your current i3 is far better. check some fucking benchmark comparisons you tard.
just buy a better GPU and nothing else.

Why?

class Foo {}

class A {
    Foo f;
    public A(Foo f) {
        this.f = f;
    }
}

Is A.f a pointer to a Foo object or does the constructor copy the value? This is Java btw.

Well I figured it out, foobar doesn't have an option to hide the files referenced within a cue sheet but it does hide files that are hidden in windows explorer. Hide the files but not the cue sheet and play the cue sheet and it works.

Bought a laptop. Intended to install 32bit Debian on it. Put my Debian install disc in...

Since there have been no errors, does that mean the laptop hardware works with 64bit? I have no idea how old this laptop is. CPU is Intel Centrino 2 vPro

>>56519018
buy a separate router and modem. Your ISP will instantly re-flash it as soon as you connect to their network if your router isn't segregated from their network.

>>56519018
Depends on the model. The help pages for it usually list the specific risks you're facing and how to avoid potential bricks. Most of the time as long as you are actually flashing the firmware intended for your specific device you wont run into any major problems and you can revert if you want.

Can an old hard drive cause my input lag?
Two years ago i started to have input latency with my mice. and some usb stuff transferred at 10mbps.
I tried everything, ram, psu, other mices, other ports, and no luck.
Now a week ago I finally after 7 years upgraded my computer, to a i7 6700, 16gb ram yatta yatta.
the thing is, I STILL HAVE MOUSE INPUT LAG. and the USB 3.0 stuff are transferring at 50mbps with my external hard drive. in which i remember with a friend's computer it went 100mbps.
I changed everything but the harddrive, it's an old WD250GB that i had since 2007, that's where i install the OS on.
A friend in a month will give me back a 500gb that I borrowed him and will try install OS there.
The detail of how my mouse lag is:
Move slow, I can make a 180º move. Move really fast, it will only move 10º.
this problem with 2 years and buying a new pc and still have this problem kinda made me want to hang myself. But will wait for a response.
I have a 4 year old 700w PSU, but tried with a 650w bronze and still was the same.
Tried different monitors
I've installed Windows 7 two times in the old motherboard that I had when started the problem, then changed to a new one, Gigabyte H170-G1, then had to change it to a Asus Z170-A, and with every the problem persisted
A mice with a higher DPI does seem to kinda fix the problem, the mouse lag is itty bitty tiny notice-able, and doesnt have that transfer loss, but doesn't mean the problem is gone, since my USB 3.0 is going half of what is suppose to go. with the old mobo happened too. 5-10 mbps transfer with the 2.0, though i thought that was normal.
Tried different mousepads too
My question it's again, can somehow a HDD do that?
it's weird, since it's like it's not giving the proper power to the south bridge or something I don't know

demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC3cbdUSog8 it's not just delay, it's not receiving the whole movement
i've suffered this for 2 years, please help

>>56519053
It's a "Format String". %20s means insert a string padded out to 20 characters, %10d means insert a number padded out to 10 characters, \n is a newline.
The strings and numbers listed in the format string are then taken from later arguments to the String.format function (in order).

An old hard drive will cause slow startup, long loading time in games, and terrible performance when you're trying to run something else in the background. Also the older a hard drive is, the higher a chance it will fail and you'll lose data so you should probably replace it anyway.

Now as for your actual problem:
What mouse are you using?
How do you have the Windows mouse settings set? It looks like either the tracking speed is much lower than I would ever use for a game or you have mouse acceleration on.

What does /g/ think? I currently have a 980ti and only went team green because the fury had problems at launch. Coupled with no shadow play. Now shadow play requires an account to record. Bullshit. My 980ti can be returned for $610 because of warranty. Should I get 2 fury cards? They also have the Sapphire nitro rx480. Would it be worth getting 2 of those instead for $280 each?

>>56519731

No because the RX 480 is actually on par with the Fury but has more vram and better cooling.

>>56519715

You're better off getting a Fury X because the 1070 and 1080 are designed for DX11 and upcoming games will run better on AMD.

You shouldn't get 2 of anything. SLI/crossfire has poor game compatibility, and it's only getting worse. That's basically the only reason anyone cares that the RX 490 is coming out soon. If you want high end right now green's your best bet.

Networking question:
I did a fresh install of Windows 7 on my desktop due to hardware problems not long ago and installed the essential drivers that came with my motherboard and whatnot. Normally this is fine as I would just hook the ethernet cable up to my router and I would be connected just fine since the router has all the settings stored already.

But this time, when it came to downloading files, especially larger ones, it would start off downloading at an average speed and over time it would gradually slow down and grind down to 0b/s. All my other deviced which are connected to the router wirelessly can download large files without any problem whatsoever. This problem with my desktop is also preventing me from downloading and installing updates. I did a speed test between my desktop and laptop and the desktop has a throttled speed and it would frequently dip at points compared to the consistent connection of my laptop. Any idea wtf is going on?

>>56520160
>installed the essential drivers that came with my motherboard
i hope you only installed the network drivers and then went online and got everything else because the ones that come with the mobo are old as shit

i told you this in the last thread you posted in. go to download the latest network and chipset drivers, then download all important windows updates.

>>56519985
Ugh fuck. Might just swallow the nvidia dick and make a fucking nvidia account to use shadowplay. Figured if I was going to use something other than shadowplay, might as well go back to amd. But I'm not going to take a performance step down AND lose shadowplay.

>>56520293
Not worth it, AMD has better DX12 support, freesync does not cost extra like Gsync does and AMD gets better performance boosts from drivers over time than Nvidia.

Also Nvidia are dicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcF36_qMd8M

>i hope you only installed the network drivers and then went online and got everything else because the ones that come with the mobo are old as shit

I'm trying, but this connection issue is kinda preventing me from getting said drivers. Then again, the motherboard drivers listed on the site predate the date I bought the motherboard. I can try again just to be extra sure. At this moment it's the network issue that's doing my tits in.

>>56520490
What motherboard model?
Which driver version came with the mobo disc?
Did you check to see if internet worked with the default windows drivers before installing the ones from the disc?

>>56520490
Use a different computer to download the drivers

>>56520332
I know that amd has the better A-sync compute and that drivers only get better. But would it be worth stepping down from a 980 ti classified to the Sapphire nitro Rx 480?

The motherboard is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX. (AM3+, DDR3) I am unable to connect at all with the default windows drivers. I have just reinstalled Windows 7 again just to confirm. No drivers have been installed.

I'll do what >>56520552 suggested and try downloading the drivers from the site onto a flash drive instead (Including the LAN driver) and see how that goes. I have never had any problems using the drivers provided with the disc with previous reinstalls and updating from there.

>>56520846
you're doing something wrong then.
probably re-using the same corrupt software files when you reinstall stuff. redownload everything and try without any drivers for your mouse.

>>56520900
i tried 2 different windows 7 that one was mine, and another from a friend's. without any drivers, in the desktop i moved my mice fast, and still had the lag, and the loss in the movement.

Because Shadowplay has the best mix of recording options, seamless hardware encoding, and zero (0) performance impact compared to fraps or OBS. Ive used them all and shadowplay is easily top of the heap.

my question is, How loud can I turn these up?

They're 125 watt speakers, and the receiver is 105 watts on each channel, but it also says there is dynamic power output on the receiver spec sheet. is it just a buzzword?

Cheers. Will try that. For some reason, with the LAN driver I had been using; I kinda suspect that it might be something to do with my desktop or router's network settings, since I could surf and play online without any problems before. It's only now that when it came to downloading files through the browser that things slowed down to a halt.
I also did notice that my router outright disconnects from the net when I try to upload a large file like a video up on to youtube from my desktop, but that might be a different issue altogether.

btw did you buy a non-K cpu and a z170 mobo? kek

>>56521415
maybe try messing around with the usb settings in your bios?

i really can't think of anything. maybe try windows 8 or a different version of windows 7

>>56521314
Maybe. You can download drivers manually at any rate. It is possible that certain features might break in the future. For now you can download copies of 2.11 here

http://us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/2.11.4.0/GeForce_Experience_v2.11.4.0.exe

or

http://www.filehorse.com/download-nvidia-geforce-experience/old-versions/

and disable the update by renaming C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience\Update\Setup.exe

I guess it's not a big deal to make an account, but since I only use experience for driver checks and settings recommendations it didn't seem worth it.

>>56521415
Maybe your screen has input lag?

What's a good laptop that can play video at 1080p and run programs like autocad relatively smoothly?

Budget is not an issue but the cheaper the better

I bought the Z cause the H didn't hit 2400mhz.
Now if you tell me that the non-k doesn't hit the 2400 ill cut me balls.
Also can't in the 1tb because pic.
Don't have enough space to make a backup in anywhere else

>>56521480
I tried, there wasn't anything crazy to configure.

>>56521526
tried with a crt

>>56521555
are you using a vga cable for both the lcd and crt? or are you using different connections for each?

>>56521530
2D CAD? Netbook with latest gen i7.

>>56521537
the CPU supports higher RAM speed than most motherboards can, and it's not chipset dependant. it's up to mobo manufacturer's to make them support higher speeds.

I put this computer together for about 100$ with all used parts and I was wondering how badly I'm being bottlenecked?

>>56521606
can you plug in the led to the comp with an hdmi or display port?

>>56521638
don't have a display port cable. tried with HDMI too, but I would've thought that caused more lag. still was the same tho.
But still I have half the speed in my usb's than I should've had, explained in my op

>>56521606
>then why you/the guy laughed at my z170 purchase
because you dont need a z170 mobo to run high speed ram like i fucking told you 1 minute ago

>>56521637
>phenom 1
>hd 7900
pretty hard cpu bottleneck i think

>>56521696
oh ups, missed the chipset part. tho I did read a chart and non of the H i saw (atleast sorted by price) reached over 2133mhz. and the first one to hit it was the Z.
Thought it was because of that, and when I had the h170 in the cmos didnt let me change it over 2133 like the Z one. that's why i changed it to the Z the next day. I missed gigabyte tho, was 30 dollar off for the next gigabyte mobo, didn't reach with my wallet

>>56521716
I think also, but I want some aut..nerd to tell me how bad it really is :p

>>56521694
ok well the only thing left is your OS. that seems to be the most common thing in all your setups and everything else seems fine.

>>56521483
Thanks. Yea I guess I'll manual driver update if necessary. I use shadowplay quite a bit, so losing it isba pain. I'll make a nvidia account when absolutely necessary.

>>56521764
yes but how come when I install it on my friend's there isn't any problem, even try it with my mice.
Sorry if i'm repeating stuff, it's quite a scramble to follow my responses.

>>56521800
i have no clue but i can't think of anything else at this point. just reinstall with a different version and see what happens. if it's still fucked up then just take a bat and destroy the comp tBh

How would you rate this pc:?

Intel Core i7-6700 3,4 (8M Cache)
12 GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD R9 360 2GB

I dont get to pick parts because its for work and it has to be a complete pc.
Its a Dell Vostro of some sort.

>>56521800
you said the only thing you havent changed is the HDD, try installing Ultimate on the WD Black like i suggested >>56521474
the magnet links is the ISO and activator.

>>56515808
why does QC keep getting shittier and shittier?
Also why is everyone in it fat?

>>56521940
>i7 6700
>DDR3
good luck with that
>R9 360
meh

>for work
tell them they're retarded for buying DDR3 RAM when skylake has big benefits from DDR4

and why the fuck does it even have a graphics card if it's for work?

>>56521940
Bretty Gud, except it's probably not Windows 10 compatible because of the DDR3.

>>56515808
who's the cute girl

>>56521947
I said I don't have enough space to backup and install on the caviar. anyway I better wait a bit and buy another hdd. then after I try an install in a new hdd, i can finally know if I should put bullet on head.
bbl in 3 months

>>56521980
I think its retarded too, cant do a thing about it.
Ill use CAD software and data visualization, perhaps get into open CL.

>>56521983
Gonna install windows 7

>>56522021
get an ssd, you don't need anything crazy, just something decent.

>>56521980
Not that big desu>>56522053

>>56522021
Make space. Using a fucking 200GB drive from 2007 for your OS when you have a WD Black is fucking retarded. And even more so since you dont want to buy a new drive.

>>56522053
You can point out to your boss they're wasting money on stupid outdated hardware.

Can you activate Windows 10 with Daz loader? If not what's another easy method?

>>56522062
too expensive where I live.
besides it's been a while since i've read about ssd, I feared it's reliability and its price in the past since i've heard a lot of them failure often. I can't go buying hard drives every now and then. it's been 7 years since i've upgraded my computer. and never changed the hard drives since then. 230gb from 2007, and 1tb from 2010, got the last one cheap, bought it day before the flood in wd.

>>56522072
Been there done that. The buying of this PC is part of a project that has rules. I cant go any higher on the ladder.

I sort of have a thing in mind since the start. Secretly contacting the shop and ask if they can make a "complete PC" with some extra parts. I dont think they will agree.

>>56522072
I make space every now and then, the most I can get off to is 200 free. and 500gb without the games.
And kinda didn't know too much about computers back in the day before I filled it up. will report in 3 months with new hdd.

>>56522105
no you need mstoolkit

>magnet:?xt=urn:btih:D9C408477736C0CB282AD66ECAA1A6894ACA9F64

>>56522169
Then why are you even asking us if you cant change anything?
And what exactly are you asking?

>>56522180
you only need 30GB to install windows. stop being a tard. make a partition and install windows on the WD Black now.

Does a HDMI to DVI cable affect the data or speed or anything?

>>56522203
Didnt ask anything about changing things.
I was interested about getting some opinions.

>>56522180
you can resize your drive in windows and install windows on it, google 'shrink drive windows'

>>56522244
No.

>>56522251
What for? The CPU is nice. RAM is stupid. GPU is enough for multiple screens and office work but it's last generation so kinda stupid.

>>56515808
Going to be switching from iOS to Android in the coming months. What's the best 4chan and Reddit apps on the Android marketplace?

>>56522244

>>56522203
>no you need mstoolkit
And can I freely update my system everytime after activating it or should I not update it ever?

>>56522318
it activates windows, you can get updates. you cant even disable updates on win10.

>>56522274
>What for?
Because im not an expert, and thought you guys had some better experience with knowing how good some parts are.

Forgot that most of you are cunts.

Thanks for your help anyway.

shrinking is safe? a friend of mine that I know he is kinda paranoid said that it could mess up stuff. Besides I found this the other day. Trying to get another HDD anyway, kinda afraid of data loss.

>>56522355
i've never had problems with it, but if you don't have backups i wouldn't do it. just in case.

>>56522355
yes.

HOLY SHIT YOU GENIUS

>>56521346

I've installed the network driver you provided but I'm still getting the same result. I've only managed to download just under 20MB of a 292MB file (The dreaded graphics card driver) before the connection slowed down and stopped. It's strange because I never had this problem with my previous setup and can't imagine why this is happening all of a sudden. I even tried switching ports to no avail.

>>56522608
try different modem/router.

I was afraid it might have to come to that. Looks like I have some shopping to do.

Can I replate my Quadruro K1000m with a 970m if I wanted to?

>>56522710
you cant borrow one from someone? or maybe get an old 100Mbit PCI NIC for 5 bux

>>56518868
The String.format method in Java is used to make printing and formatting easier.
You do %[spacing][data type]
So (%5s, "test") will make "test" fit into 5 spaces; since "test" is only 4 characters, it will add 1 space to it.
If the space is positive, it adds the space to the right of the string; if it's negative, it's to the left.

>>56522819

Unfortunately, I'm the most tech-savvy person I know. I might try with one of those cheap mini wireless USB adapters and see how that goes. I honestly never replace the complementary router my ISP sends.

How do I know if a certain audio amp can drive a certain pair of headphones? I know it has to do with the impedance of the headphones but can't find a simple way to tell.

Looking at a nice pair of headphones but it has a listed impedance of 470ohms and don't know if my fiio e7 could drive it.

>>56522980
does your router have wifi? then you can try that.

but you can still borrow their modem for an hour just to try it.

After I've activated the bluetooth in my T420 bios, how exactly do I turn it on in windows?

>>56523133

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the USB wireless adapter. My desktop is the only thing wired to my router (Besides from the modem/phone line) and is experiencing the whole slow-down thing with downloads. Things connected to the router wirelessly like my laptop can download larger files without any problems.

>>56523158
install drivers and you should have a tray icon. some laptops have a physical button.
if none of the above check device manager.

>>56523173
ah ok. probably the cable or your network card then.

>>56523178
I'm not sure where to find them, apparently it's tied into the wireless care drivers. "If wifi works, bluetooth should work" the forums say.

I hit the Fn+F5, which bring up the wireless menu, but only wifi and airplane mode pop up.

im on a new pc

what torrent client should i get ?

whats the best laptop for a programmer under 600 dollars but also good for some light gaming?
