Is there a way to bulk make MP3's louder?

I'm trying to set up the custom radio thing in GTA5 (inb4 fuck off back to /v/) and while it works, all the MP3's (using these because it's all it will accept) are super quiet.

Need to make like 250 songs louder.

>how other guy got his h110 to cycle rgb
H110 is the chipset and it has nothing to do with RGB, that's a function of the specific motherboard from the manufacturer, so read your manual.

>>59198289
no, everyone says you need X years of experience. just apply anyway and make sure you include all your knowledge in the subject with your application

oh, well, the cooler itself (pump and radiator) doesnt have RGB functions, it's probably just the fans themselves and you will need a controller to make them switch colors

I keep getting conflicting messages about what "bottlenecking" will actually do, and how much it's worth worrying about. I've got 4670K and am looking to upgrade my GPU from a 290 to a 1080, and everyone gives different answers.

>any modern i5 is the max you'll ever need
>the 4670K will cut about 20% of the performance off that card
>you need a 7700K if you really want to drive the card completely
>various conflicting videos showing 10-15 FPS difference in some spots and nothing in another
>etc

I'm honestly not sure what to do. Upgrading the 4670K would require a lot more money, as I'd need to upgrade the motherboard and I think the RAM as well.

Is there a straightforward answer to this?

>>59200054
a particular application will only run as fast as the slowest component will allow
the slowest component at any instance is called "the bottleneck"

what componets are potential bottlenecks and how much it's worth worrying about depends on what components you have and what applications you use

just to give you a basic example, lets say you pair a high end cpu with a low end gpu and try to run a graphically-intense video game on them
the graphics card will almost certainly be a major bottleneck, major in that the cpu will be very underutilized, "bottlenecked" by the gpu

>>59200982
Thanks anon

Utorrent went botnetastic. And don't use outdated software, especially something with a large internet attack surface. You're just asking to get boned. Just switch to another damn program already.

>>59200054
There will likely be minimal bottlenecking as long as your channels are the same (ie CPU supports PCIE3.0). The easiest way to check bottlenecking (performance wise) is to run a monitor while gaming. For instance, I've got a 2700k and a 980ti. I see my GPU maxing out it's usage before my CPU creeps up much past 40% usage.

>>59202315
seems like it depends what you put into your settings.

and it seems to default to true
https://github.com/Floens/Clover/blob/dev/Clover/app/src/main/java/org/floens/chan/core/settings/ChanSettings.java#L216

so yes, unless you changed it.

Anyone here familiar with thermal management? What's the best way to calculate an optimal fan power curve for a closed loop liquid cooled system?

I've got a fully watercooled PC and I'm going full autist on """optimizing""" everything, because god damnit I want to get my moneys worth out of it. Sensors and data I have available.

- Flow sensor (Mechanical)
- Reservoir fill level sensor (MPS)
- Inline coolant temperature sensor
- Ambient air / intake air temperature sensor
- Internal case air temperature
- Exhaust air temperature
- GPU / CPU / HDD / SSD etc temps.
- 4x additional temperature probes I can put anywhere.

The software suite I have for monitoring and control allows the creation of any number of virtual sensors as well, which I can assign a data source to. Virtual sensors can include things like calculated power consumption, all kinds of shit.

Fans are all PWM, and I can create curve controllers to manage their power based on a sensor.

I want to keep my noise to a practical minimum without my system running any warmer than it needs to.

This question is more a matter of curiosity than looking for a fix, as I doubt there's anything that I can do about it, but here goes:

Is it still safe to use pic related after they had a shit load of water spilled on them?

A glass of water got knocked off my bench and drenched one of these while it was plugged in and powering my PC. I quickly turned it off at the wall and pulled it out. I hit it over and over to try and get the big drips out, then I put it on the radiator overnight to try and dry it out. Then today I took it apart to make sure it was dry, seemed pretty dry, I gave it a blast with a hairdryer to make sure. It currently seems to be working fine. I was going to let it sit in 99% isopropol, but as it's flammable that didn't seem to smart so I didn't bother.

I got a cheap PC from my workplace, it has a W7 key stickied onto it and i have a spare SSD.
How do i properly deactivate the HDD windows installation so that when i try to activate the fresh install on the SSD it won't bitch?

Chances are it will just activate. If it doesn't - they make you call to some telephone number and write down a key.

>>59215221
>is the curve a meme
Yes. It's shit.

What is your budget?

>>59215563
Wait, you're not making any sense. You can do a couple of things:

1. Boot from SSD, format HDD (that is, deactivating Windows installation because you're not copying shit anyway), do fresh install.
2. When doing a fresh install on the SSD, the HDD won't interfere because you select the device you want to install Windows on.

>>59216281
Sorry I was out for lunch.

OLED is #1 if you ask me.
The most important features of a TV are: Colors (including viewing angles) > Backlight > HDR > Resolution.

Nothing beats the LG's OLED TVs in terms of picture quality, OLED offers perfect colors and backlight.
Samsung wasn't able to make OLEDs so now they are selling "qdot" which is just a better LCD - but LG is better.

Curved TVs are better when you sit in the right exact, but much worse on any other angle or distance (too far/too close).
Also note that OLED has much better viewing angles which counters the plus of a curve.

Whats the ideal size for a 2560 x 1440 monitor?

>>59216747
Before you think I shill for LG (because people probably fanboy TV brands nowadays):
Every OLED TV on the market has a panel produced by LG - so I don't see a point in getting a different brand.

If you don't want to go with OLED I would go with a VIZIO.
VIZIO has great price-per-value and has a simple chromecast software instead of a bloated, slow and buggy android.
(VIZIO did have a privacy scandal - they have a good policy now but I would understand why someone would not trust them anymore).


Looking at the current TV tech out there, and the content available (data throughput etc)...
If you get OLED 4K w HDR now, you'll be good for next 10 years.
We are witnessing a pixelrace on displays right now (just like with cameras couple years ago) - but the rest of the ecosystem is maxed out.

>>59216814
27 inch.

A 1440p 27" monitor has roughly the same pixel density as a 1080p 23".
I have both next to eachother and text/window sizes look the same.

Depends on what you'd use it for

>>59216814

>urved TVs are better when you sit in the right exact, but much worse on any other angle or distance (too far/too close).
>Also note that OLED has much better viewing angles which counters the plus of a curve.
when looking at that image i get the impression the curve has better viewing angles, how does this account for non centered viewers?

are we really in a pixel race though? 8k is only being pushed in japan and places like australia dont even broadcast in full 1080p yet.

I like what you say about the lg panels, i noticed a lot of ips monitors use the same panel, even mine uses it

where can i get custom made monitor sizes? or is the manufacturing proccess too expensive

>are we really in a pixel race though?
Pixel race is mainly on smaller screens right now.
Phones, tablets, ultrabooks. (A good thing but without it we couldn't do VR).
On TV's we are done, the storage media and cable just can't handle anything above 4K.
Also - resolution isn't everything. New encoding methods and stuff like HDR give more improvement than raw pixels.

>when looking at that image i get the impression the curve has better viewing angles, how does this account for non centered viewers?
There are many factors to consider in the curved vs flat decision (but srsly its a meme).
imo the experience on a curved TV when you're not in the ideal spot is a much bigger drop than the gain if you are in the perfect spot.

The "depth" or "immersion" of a curved TV is really minimal and you have to actively look for it to notice it.
While everyone looking from an angle will complain.


PS My roommate has a curved one. Also - the light in his room now reflects harder on the TV.

-> A terminal (Either Terminal on mac or Command Prompt on Windows), or use IDLE (a python shell)

Why do AMD CPUs get beaten by Intel CPUs that cost half as much?

>>59231507
it depends on the tests.
Intel has a much better per core performance, so stuff that doesn't multithread well runs better on intel.
The 1800X will crush the i5 in anything else using more than 4 cores.
Though, a lot of applications don't utilize multiple cores well yet.
