So, now that the new i7 7700K is coming out, will we still be able to buy the older 6700K?
If so, will it cost less? By how much?

Also, I wanted an i7 6700K to run W7 on. is there anything I should be wary about?

Thanks in advance.

Caved in and ordered a 4K monitor.
I don't do a lot of gaming, but I still do some.
I know my 760 isn't powerful enough for pushing twice the pixels as my prior 2*1080p setup; should I go for a 1070 or stick with upgrading to a 1060?

>>58341795
cpu prices will not drop like they do with GPU's.

maybe cpu prices will drop a little.. but intel really own the market. they can set their own prices.

>>58341831
Ah damn, so a 6700K will cost about the same as a 7700K?
Will they be available, or Intel will stop producing them and we'll only be able to buy only those currently in stock?

Reposting, because the other thread was essentially dead.

Alright /g/, I've got 2 stupid questions that are completely unrelated:

1. What is THE best small screwdriver set that has every kind of tiny screwdriver you could need in a compact, self-contained package? I was about to pull the trigger on this: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/64-Bit-Driver-Kit/IF145-299 but then I realized /g/ probably has a better alternative.

2. My LAN at home should theoretically all be 1gbps, but there's a bottleneck in one of the ethernet cables I'm using to 100mbps. I'm fairly certain that all my cables are 5e because they've all been purchased within the last 5 years, but is there some way to run some kind of test on your LAN and figure out where bottlenecks are?

I have a gigabit switch, my router is an ASUS rt66nu, and all recent motherboard ethernet ports should be gigabit capable, no? I guess I just don't understand why transfers between computers over LAN seem to be going at 100mbps.

>>58341831
GPU prices don't even drop nowadays. They drop a little, then shoot up when they stop production so you can buy the expensive next model

how do I follow along with what is happening at CES? I think last year there were threads and livestreams and stuff

can a shitty power strip cause coil whine in psu?

>>58341894
No, and the coil whine is most likely coming from your GPU.

Is Debian better than Ubuntu?

ALRIGHT I GOTTA STUPID QUESTION FOR YOUR ASSES.

I want to buy this GPU. I don't overclock cards, or mess with any of that shit. I don't understand what the difference is between this one and the double-wide one with two fans. Is the performance the same? Is it just so it stays cooler? Or just that the mini card can fit in smaller cases?

>>58341860
4790k is still available and it's from Q2'14

availability has not historically been a problem

I've had my Nexus 5 CM11 for over 2 years working without issues, I don't have play store or any of that botnet nor bloated apps. Today it started acting weird, FCing apps and soft reseting (so I know its not the famous shitty power button) and resetting app data and configurations. Could it be that the internal emmc is shitting itself?

>>58341963
Ah, good. Thank you.

micro sd card or sd card for storing images, music, documents, and videos that would be used in desktop, laptop, TV, and phone (just micro sd card)?

When an SSD fails because it has performed too many writes, are you unable to read it also? Does it become bricked or just read-only?

>>58341952
One is long and thin, the other is fat and short. Depends on your case.

my printer is just about out of black ink, but i don't have the time to get a new cartridge right now
supposedly, single cartridge mode is suppsoed to be a fix for this, where all the colors make black or something. but that didn't work at all, it just says "low on ink" even though the black cartridge isn't in the printer and the color cartridge is almost full, and nothing prints.
what do i do?
it's an hp envy 4501

>>58342251
But why do they even make the big ones in the first place if it doesn't need 2 fans?!!?!

Every few days, 2 weeks at most, it's not regular, my windows 7 machine will lose the ability to open new connections over the internet. Loading web pages or connecting to other services just times out. The only exception is already established services like SSH sessions using putty or if I'm streaming audio or video.

In addition to that, I can't open folders or some other applications. I can't open the control panel or command line to check my IP. I can't even get into the task manager to see if anything is hogging the system. I also can't issue a shut down or restart and have to forcefully power cycle the computer. A couple of times this has happened over remote desktop and when I disconnect and try to reconnect again, it just hangs there trying to connect. When I try to log in at the computer itself, it just hangs at logging me in...

When it comes back up, it's like nothing happened. Everything works great. I'm getting no errors or other indication that anything is wrong before and during. Leaving the machine to "process" for a few days didn't fix the issue. The only solution is to force a power off.

Any ideas?
inb4 switch to linux or mac, I have 3 Macs and 2 Linux workstations in the same office, and no, they don't have the same problem.

>>58342378
shorter ones are for small form factor PCs mainly
they have a smaller cooler so they don't overclock as much as the full size versions

all cards today overclock automatically (it's called gpu boost or turbo or whatever) based on thermals, power usage, firmware and clock settings which you can adjust

if you have a normal sized case there is no reason to buy a small form factor card. maybe the price might be an argument but those aren't significantly cheaper imo

I had the same issue with Cox a few years back. Connection would drop like a lead weight about a couple times an hour. After several calls in to figure out what was up, they finally sent a tech out to check the signal and equipment, and everything seemed to check out. Finally, one thing they had me try was moving the cable modem's power plug from the power strip it was plugged into to having it directly plugged into the wall.

Surprisingly enough, it worked, and I never had the problem again except when the modem itself finally started to fail.

SMART values aren't standardized, so drives from different manufacturers will store the information in a different way that may trigger false positives in third party utilities. Add to that the fact that this means they typically aren't human-readable either. Get a diagnostic utility directly from Fujitsu and see what it says.

>>58343964
Just one write with zeroes is enough.

>>58344026
i heard that writing a 0 to a 1 bit value still leaves the bit magnetized on the platter enough to be read from again.

Depends on how important the different specs are to you.

How important is physical screen size? Resolution? Refresh rate? Pixel density?

>>58344501
These days a 500£ tv will usually end up being 4k whether you like it or not, which is stressfull to your GPU, but you can turn the resolution down. I'd find one with HDR if you can, especially if you have a ps4. Bear in mind that 1080p can be pretty low res if you're fairly close and it's larger than 25 inches

Why can't we use lots of RAM as storage ? I mean, why can't we make it persistent over reboots ?

Nothing much.
Just get used of the act of coding, of how a collaborative project works, and you'll be ok.
Not a code star or whattev shit but you'll get a decent job, and you'll end up managing and sending way more email than code.

>>58344989
There are temporary ram drives, and ways to make them back up automatically to disk before shutting down. You can't make the ram itself non-volatile because any form of persistent storage takes much longer to read and write

>>58345111
Not really one article. You'd have to understand how they all work to understand the differences. In the case of RAM you're pretty much just throwing an electric charge in a cell, then checking back to see if that charge is still there. It's super fast and responsive, but if you don't keep electricity flowing to maintain that charge, it will vanish in seconds to minutes, depending on the temperature of the ram. HDDs are at least 100 times slower. They have spinning parts which are super unresponsive for random access, and it takes a super long time to magnetically write a cell. SSDs use chemical reactions instead of magnets to store their data, like flash drives. They're only about 10 times slower than ram, and can be accessed much more evenly. Writing an individual cell on SSD is actually slower than HDD, but since you can write to multiple locations on an SSD at the same time, it's like having multiple flash drives in raid 0, so it's much faster overall

Same filetypes is a matter of what applications you're running. Many programs wont run on linux, some will run with wine. That's not the sort of thing that varies much between distros. My recommendation stands.

>>58345973
You'd probably be best checking the documentation.

Alternatively you could run `strings` on the binary and check for possible values but that'd be a bit tedious.

Honestly though, if a program doesn't respect your home folder and just pollutes it I would say the prospects there is something to configure this a little slim.

Yeah, I'd imagine the DX isn't your problem at this point. I'd make sure you get those windows updates installed, including optional updates. Normally I'm reluctant to recommend optional updates, but some like the platform update can be prerequisite to some games. I would install all recommended updates, make a restore point, then install the optional ones.

Not all ethernet ports are gigabit, check the stats. Also test your networks throughput, and find out how it compares to the normal real world stats. Gigabit might be slower than you imagine. And you're limited by the read/write speeds of the devices you're transferring between.

That precisely answers my question !
Thanks anon !

My router regularly drops wifi connections.
- Restart fixes the problem but only temporarily. Sometimes just for a few minutes.
- Happens even when there is only 1 wifi connection (me)
- Some pages won't load and app connections will become choppy.
- - facebook messenger can't send and receive messages even though it refreshes just fine; games gets 'failed to connect to server errors'
- - my FTP for local files will stop at 0.0 MB/s and will not report 'no connection' until I turn off my wifi connection or restart the router.
- - these apps can and will report 'no internet connection' if wifi is not connected. so it means that the apps can detect the wifi connection, it just can't send and receive data.

What could be the problem here? What settings can I tweak to fix this? I can't buy a new router now.

Shittastic Seagate HDD has just decided to start dying, barely lasted 1.5 years.

I need a new drive to put all my movies, files and porn on. Question is what the FUCK do I buy, its mostly storage but I do plan on seeding to 1:1 ratios atleast.
I had Samsung spinpoint, WD greens and now a Seagate one die on me too, and not one of them actually beat the 2 year mark - the PC is NOT running 24/7, half days at most and I adjusted head parking for them.

Would be nice if I didn't have to pay extra just for this shit, I already have two SSDs for system and for all the games and shit I want loaded fast.

So I got a shitty yoga convertible. I'm returning it for something else.

The best similar comp I can find is the thinkpad x1 carbon. They come with 6th gen i7s. Is there a better option?

>>58346441
Do you have a separate router from your modem or is it a combo unit?

It's a combo unit from my ISP

>>58346488
>ask your isp too give you a router, or you have a virus in your computer try factory resetting or full virus scanning
I don't think I have a virus since the desktop that is constantly by connected by ethernet isn't affected by it. only wifi connections are acting up.

>>58346514
I mean, I got a WD Blue last year, and it failed within 8 months with virtually no use whatsoever. Charts only mean so much. You could get a hitachi drive or something, if you're that opposed to the brand.

>>58346538

Well anon, you go by your anecdotal evidence and advise by it - but I have my own and my Seagate failed like a bitch for no reason, and so did 3 other brands.

So much for anecdotal evidence, might aswell rely on charts and return rates, if theres no obvious consensus on what is actually good.

Never use this board, really need a new wireless router, would like a dual band because family eats bandwidth, would also like it to be under 80 USD. Also I'm not talking about a two in one router

>>58346564
I bought a Seagate Barracuda in July 2012 and it's going on its 5th year strong :^)

>>58346441
Try physically connecting 2 devices and see if you can FTP between them. Try connecting a device besides your main computer and see if it has any issues. Try updating your router firmware. Beyond that you'll want to call up your ISPs tech support.

>>58347085
Then it's hard to rule out wifi interference. If there's a lot of other networks around, it could be causing problems. Also proximity to microwaves, or if your pc is really far away. But if you also problems with internet over physically connected devices , you may just need a new router. If you're leasing then the ISP will usually send one out for free after troubleshooting.

Then you have apps like Facebook that take up max like 5 MB but in browser it takes up 200mb?

Why? I don't get this? Why do they make apps easier for phones but sites and stand alone games basically on PC? what is so complicated about that?

I can play Hearthstone on my PC but I get this pink bar on my screen when it says "your turn" or whatever...

You can code things a lot of different ways depending on what your priorities are. Persistent storage and processing power are limited on phones, therefore they make an effort to trim the fat as much as possible.

Why is noone funding linux its fucking great it should be the new windows remote install shit comfy cyber punk systems

>>58347581
They do, just not to the same degree. Bandwidth is less limited, storage is MUCH larger, feature/security/visual presentation are more important. People expect more power from PC counterparts, and shaving an extra 20mb off the install isn't worth spending significantly more time/money enforcing minimalist code design.

Why would anyone opt for a gaming PC when a console is so much cheaper?

>>58347651
Your sentence structure. It hurts my brain. I avoid windows 10 mostly because the automatic updates have too much of a history of messing shit up.

>>58347651
at least you're not an uber /g/tard here.

That's basically it. Otherwise most people here have like windows 7-10 and just play games and look porn and watch animu. Any one else saying other wise is lying more than likely

>>58347660
you know it's funny when you think about it, we live in a decade where we keep getting better with storage but you'd think that devs would go "people like their space, lets keep it as small as possible"

>>58347688
In about 5 years, that console will be obsolete when with a PC all you have to do is switch out parts. At best back up your HDD. Even then, Steam and Origin keep your save game data. So honestly, a console is dumb UNLESS it has exclusive titles like Nintendo pulls.

You can upgrade things for one. And near the end of a generation consoles get pretty long in the tooth. Plus you can get better deals on PC games, there's more selection, backwards compatibility, emulators, way more mods. You have more graphics options if you want things to look amazing or run smoother. 3D,144 fps for shooters, 1440p or 4k helps in strategy games. Multiple screens. Running more than one thing at a time. Mouse and keyboard is a must for some types of games and more useful in general than you would expect. More storage options. Browser based games. Multiple controller options.

I would skip the fan unless you plan on overclocking. Your SSD is painfully small. I'd sy 64gb at a bare minimum, 120gb ideally, and you'd want to include a hard drive big enough for whatever games/media you need. Depending on how little gaming you expect to do you might get away with not using a graphics card at all.

>>58347718

the cpu fan on my old laptop is really loud now for some reason, it seems to just be on full blast all the time and on top of that makes just a weird rhythmic noise, nothing is stuck in it or anything it seems.

Huh thanks, this is the error I'm getting:

"Unable to get property 'getElementById' of undefined or null reference"

But that makes no sense to me, I thought the document DOM object has a "getelementbyid" method? Huh?!

My 2008 MacBook Pro board just died but the drive still works. I have some passwords saved in keychain that I want to recover. Is there a way to put my hard drive into an external case and access the keychain passwords in the file system?

you'll need some or other program for that, just google it lol. beware, many cost money or are actual botnets

>>58348288

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
setclicks();
});
function setclicks() {
$('#action-button).click(function() {
...
});
}
</script>

gotta setup your click on page load.

it will burn out in a year due to poor cooling

>>58348667

with the 1080, do they just install the chipset minus the fans that are sold for pc's?

>>58348691
urs they slap on plates and a heat pipe and tell you good luck

>>58348579
that's absolutely disgusting, no reason to bounce around

  $(function() {
    $(document).on('click', '#action-button', function (e) { ... });
  });

>>58348597
no, no, they're retarded. only tried the eye-fi which sounded like the best option in reviews.

it creates a custom wi-fi network and then you have an app on your phone that disconnects you from whatever your connected to, connects to the card wifi, and downloads photos from there (it's marketed toward photographers). then your phone syncs it to a (paid) cloud service.

however the wifi doesnt appear 1 in 5 times. the app never connects automatically so youll have to do it yourself. then the app doesnt find any new images anyway.

in reviews, the other options were even more retarded or error-riddled. and none of them worked with magic lantern, which is a custom firmware for my camera that boots of the sd card. apparently when you write that to the card, the wifi-things firmware gets overwritten.

>>58348735
forgot to say - they need power from whatever theyre put in so they dont work lying on a shelf.

What aspect of my computer could be the cause of issues like [pic related] occurring?

After moving the tab, that small faded preview remains stuck there in Firefox. Even if I minimize the browser, that small preview will remain visible in the same spot on my desktop.

This only happens after Windows 7 has been running for several hours, and it never used to happen.

>>58348735
Well, that's kind of dumb. If they have the tech to put wifi into a SD/microSD card format, then it seems like there'd be a million uses for it if you could map it to a network drive.

At first I thought it was Firefox only, because I always notice it there first. Also occurs with Desktop icons though, so I'm assuming something Windows related directly.

I've tried reinstalling graphics drivers, firefox, and getting the recent Windows Updates. I've also tried forcing a restart of Explorer.exe and DWM.exe, but the issue remained until I did a full computer reboot.

>>58348775
indeed. this was a year ago so i thought maybe some other company has stepped up, but i guess not.

Not asking about TOR, but how is CP hosted in a clear net site and not immediately taken down by the country code that is hosting it?

I was looking at the Xiaomi Mi Air, is there any other option at that pricepoint? Diggin the form and weight

>>58348840
on windows, absolutely not daemon tools.

can't recall what i used last and i can't check right now as its on the other computer. but i think youre better off just extracting it, not mounting, if applicable. there are some freewares for that at least.

>>58348731
depends if you are just trying to do that one thing or if you are setting up a file with lots of different jquery actions.

Should fans in the case blow hot air out of the case, or cold air into the case and onto the components?

>>58348963
yes

>>58348978
Which one?

>>58349007
yes

>>58348963
Air coming OUT should be warm-hot. Air coming in should be cold-room temp.

does anyone have that gaming ram infographic

>>58349007
both, supposedly in different ends of the case

I have an FX 8350 with an ASUS m5a97 le r2.0, and it's shit. Using the Corsair whatever liquid cooler, and the temps are fine. Playing Battlefield 1, the framerates are absolutely fine but then the CPU decides to suddenly drop from 75% usage to about 25%, and the framerate goes along with it, dipping to 15-20 fps. I tried forcing max CPU performance from all cores, I tried messing with various settings in BIOS, yet nothing seems to fix it.

Is it just AMD being AMD? I swear I'm this close to buying an Intel.

How do I enable gpu rendering in mpv?

>>58349583
Huh.. usually there's an /mpv/ general.

>>58349583
I don't know what the option is myself, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

Just look through the /g/ archives for an /mpv/ thread and look at one of the sample configs they have there.

>>58341780
Just formatted my PC.
Installed Win7.
Installed my Ethernet driver from my MB page. (Also later tried direct from Realtek)
Try to download GPU driver (313MB), gets 30ish% through, stops and never starts again.
Try to download GPU driver again, gets 45% and never starts again.
Did this 5 times, both in Chrome and IE.

Decided fuck it, I'll use my brother's PC to get the GPU driver. I figured it was their fault not mine (AMD Radeon),
GPU drivers install fine.
Try to install Steam. Initial update stops half way through and never starts again.

My Internet is fine (I can watch Youtube and other shit while they download, and it doesn't stop half way through)
What do I do?

>>58349327
so if i press yes it will anal rape my computer or what will happen

>>58349672
no

it will probably change how often it calls microsoft to say that youre verified or some shit.

also, i don't know why you donwload a thing that will change a lot of parts of the operating system, and then hesitate when it says it will change a part of the operating system?

What's a good price range to buy an used GTX 970 ? Would 160-180€ be good for 2nd hand?

>>58349801
.... Reinstalling takes an hour or so. Just test it out yourself, we have nothing to gain from it.

>>58349814
470 4GB, then upgrade to Vega. Neither will do well at 1440p going forwards.

whats wrong
isn't the GTX 970 basically a GTX 1060 in terms of performance
also im a poorfag and i dont want to buy a new PSU

>>58350191
It's below the 1060 (maybe ~1060 3GB)
What is your PSU? even a 550W can handle a 390

>>58349814
I've heard Sapphire is the go-to manufacturer for AMD products.

what program is like a file chest so then shit cant leave besides getting avast
