Is it bad overclocking only one RAM stick?
I only have one.

How hot do 1080ti's get? Is it worth getting additional cooling. Founders or custom?

i bought PIA and installed in on my phone and laptop but the installer wont fucking open when i try to open it on my pc. like a window flashes really fast then nothing comes up. wtf

Hey, I'm looking to start my own personal media server and I want to do it myself but I am having issues finding a good tutorial for it. Can you guys recommend any good guides on ripping and compressing media? Also something that will give me a good overview of mkvtoolnix?

>be me change windows 10 start up sound
>restart computer for test
>itdoesntwork.exe
>try screwing around for another 4 hiccups including putting the thing i want on another setting
>still plays that shitty tune im trying to change

what am i doing wrong

kys faggot

Never get reference cards.

Based on the card expect 70°C tops.
It should work at 50-60°C 90% of the time unless you overclock it, or use a single fan version.

No, just be sure it is well cooled.

I dont wanna OC it a lot, just from 1600 to 1866 MHz.

I wanna get another stick but i rather get a GPU first.

And i have planned to get a Thinkpad T400 so it will take even more time.

"ls" seems to sort by name usually, but it fails to do it for these symbols (LANG=en_US.UTF-8).

Why?

Is dedup off by default?

Does every HD in a computer have to have the same raid setup or can you separate them?

Can I have raid one for disk drives and nothing for SSD's to be more specific?

Thanks.

You can exclude things from the raid, yes. Although most people who think they want raid actually don't. It's a shit solution for most problems a home user would have.

Hello.

I don't know anything about motherboards and I was recommended this one.

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813132928

Could someone answer some questions for me about it:

-Is this a good motherboard? What makes a good one in the first place?
-My current motherboard doesn't have support for the 2 usb 3.0 slots in the front of my case. Does this one have support for it?
-In the M.2 section, why is M.2 slots mentioned twice instead of 2 x M.2 slots?

Thanks for any help and sorry if these are dumb questions. This is my first time shopping for a motherboard.

Well my thinking is, most things on a HD I want to save long term so a more stable raid setup makes sense for those, but most shit on a SSD is things I wont mind losing long term or can easily replace if the drive tanks like an OS/standard programs and games.

what is the best app (nonroot) to record my screen on android?

please no bloatware

should i buy bitcoin miners? a guy has I have 1x S7 (4.73 TH) for sale and 3x S9s (11.5 TH)
at "negotiable" prices.

If you don't care about anything on your OS drive then that's up to you. But you still haven't given any reason you would need raid

The gravy train left the station years ago, user. Small-scale mining isn't competitive and hasn't been for some time.

Without looking, I'm guessing the reason M.2 is mentioned twice is because one is a M.2 key E for wifi/BT and the other is (likely) key M for PCIe SSD. If you plan on getting an M.2 drive make sure it doesn't eat up PCIe lanes you need for graphics or whatever. And if it's a key B&M make sure it doesn't eat up a SATA port you need.

I've had my Nexus 5x laying around for a while as I got another phone. I've rooted the Nexus and unlocked the bootloader.

Without thinking I start it up and see there's an update so I download and install it. Now it just boots into recovery every time I try to start. I remember now that you can't update the phone with official ROMs when rooted.

Can I just flash stock or other custom ROM and it'll work again?

Aren't those the ones that stop being useful even before the preorders were closed?

so how much should i invest to get reap rewards? thata like $10000 worth of equipment

Are you prepared to build the equivalent of a mid-sized corporate datacenter in a place with unusually cheap electricity and/or a cold climate that saves on the cooling?

>9gag

>more stable raid setup
Raid doesn't give any kind of stability you would care about.

What is better.
1x8GB AT 1600MHz or 2x8GB at 1333MHz.
Is Dualchannel that useful that slower RAM speed wont matter

Not having to use virtual memory is a million times faster than a few megahertz difference

i have $50k without a loan and can get $50k from a loan without needing to jump through hoops, would that even be remotely close?

Well, i got a 1333MHz stick from a older build but my current one is 1600MHz.

For whatever reason XMP wont work on it.
Running memtest right now to check if it works perfectly.

I've started posting those just because it pisses people off. I'm tempted to make a layer with 4-5 bottom tier stamps and slap it on my most oldfag pictures just to give people aneurysms

The good ol faggot shitposter tactic.
Since old times it never fails.

Whats the most minimal distro? In size and other stuff.
I have core 2 duo which i used as my main pc, but now i am getting s laptop, for college and stuff and thinking of connecting it to tv and install retroarch on it, i won't be using it much except for putting more roms in it or maybe using browser, help would be much appreciated.

When it comes to m.2 ssd's, what's the difference between one that is NVME and one that isn't?

Arch, Gentoo,

Unless you mean bloated minimalism, try LXLE

Puppy linux.

Just use lubuntu or mint.

Yes, install copperhead OS

Speeds and how they work.
Also if your motherboard would like them being different, its not a problem in recent chipsets but can happen.

Core 2 isn't that bad. Pretty much any linux will do decent on it. Lubuntu is good if you're really going for minimal but don't want things to be a pain. You can also boot into your program of choice instead of a DE.

>Speeds and how they work.
Is it a big difference?

What programming language should I teach myself to get a job?

If not a job then maybe to write a game app that I can just tweak and dress up in different graphics a few times to appeal to different audiences.

>Work
Java.

Do I have to?! REEEAAAALLLY?!

Can anyone help explain why this for me? Connecting from west Canada to google shouldn't be this unreliable. How can I make this connection more consistent and reliable?

core2 is just i5 except with two cores.

You probably wont even see a difference between an i5 and core2 for most things

setup a vm you pleb

Thats what i am going to do, but the thing is i don't want to download big size os, if all distros are 1gb + than i think i can download anything, i was hoping for a distro of you know 300-500 mb

download: to pull data from external location into local machine
upload: to push data from local machine to external location

but what about when someone is hacked and the hacker steals info from your local machine, is your machine "uploading"?

How small is your HDD that you are worried for 1GB?

No, it's uplinking. Uplinking to the mainframe.

Seeding.

puppy linux fits on a 512 MB usb zip disquette

thanks for the sarcasm, but i genuinely need to know

would ras-Pi-an work?

lotus elise works too.

raspian is just debian with special programs preinstalled for the raspberry pi computer.

It might work, but any of the other suggestions you have had in this thread will work.

Nah downloading is a pain, but i will go for one of the suggestions, perhaps lubuntu

What is Puppy Linux?

Puppy Linux is an operating system for computers. Other well-known operating systems are Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, and MS-DOS. Puppy Linux is based on GNU/Linux. It is completely free and open source software.
How is Puppy Different?

Small size, ~100MB! This lends itself to some very useful and unique features.
'Live' booting from CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives, and other portable media.
Runs from RAM, making it unusually fast even in old PCs and in netbooks with solid state storage media.
Very low minimum system requirements.
Boot time is well under a minute, 30-40 seconds in most systems.
Includes a wide range of applications: wordprocessors, spreadsheets, internet browsers, games, image editors and many utilities. Extra software in the form of dotpets. There is a GUI Puppy Software Installer included.
Puppy is easy to use and little technical knowledge is assumed. Most hardware is automatically detected.

Looks real neat, thanks user.

Most minimalist distro.

OS is not a place to skimp on download size. Although if you're really in a bind you can install ubuntu minimal and add components manually.

The most likely answer would be that "ls" doesn't handle all utf8 encoded languages yet.

Why that is, I do not know.

What's the reverse shortcut of Alt-Tab to switch between windows. (I just want to switch backwards) if there's one.

alt shift tab?

Recently bought a Philips white ambience light and a hub with it. The light works but every time I try to turn it off using the app or any command other than physicall flipping the switch it turns itself back on in a few seconds. It's connected to a dimmable plug but from what I've read it can happen anywhere. I've tried reengaging and restarting everything + updated but same problem persists.

I have yet to try:
>Doing a force reset of the hub
>Disconnect from myhue online service
Since I'm at work right now.
>Try other plugs, specifically non-dimmers

Googling has yielded a ton of other people with same problem but no real solutions unless you have things setup with lots of other homecontrol apps, plugs, bridges, sensors and scripts.

Any other ideas?

Yeah, thanks

is CS actually a meme or is that a meme itself?

anything else?

My PC is suddenly getting a lot worse game performance and when I have a game running the background other things run worse. For example typing this has a slight lag on the keys I press being displayed and scrolling is way less smooth. Never had this before.

It's Windows 10 so I'm going to assume it's that but I haven't updated, all I did was restart my computer instead of their usual shutdown that works more like hibernate.

Oh and there doesn't seem to be any increased cpu or disk use in task manager.

Where can I buy cheap Windows 10 licenses online? As in legit ones, not shady stuff.

For how long has it been worse? Temps? Disk usage? What programs/services run on boot?

My best guess would be an a/v that runs on boot or something updating

meant for

Only started today after restarting instead of the usual shut down. Nothing running at startup to my knowledge. Temps seem normal although maybe a little lower than normal which I will look into.

How do you sabotage an ISP business?

I have to setup dual boot on my PC. But I'm noob.

I have windows 7, and I need to instal Ubuntu 16.04 alongside. How do I go about it without destroying my current system?

I've tried that few months ago, but every time I installed ubuntu, I could not boot windows anymore.

Here is my boot order and boot options, and speccy. How do I go about this without destroying a universe?

do they get sorted if you pipe it through sort?

raid gives you less reliability here.

I've seen plenty of dudes fuck up their raid config and end up with an uninitialized array, way more than I've seen crucial data saved by raid (because this is not what raid is designed for, it's designed to keep systems online, not keep data safe !!! !!! !!! this is a very important concept to get through your head).

Stop being a jew and buy enough drives to do an offline weekly backup of your important files. I absolutely guarantee you're not at the scale where this isn't viable, and if you can't afford it you should sort your finances out before fucking around with PCs.

kinguin. Least shady that isnt super overpriced

Bomb their main office.

May Allah be with you.

schrink your windows partition or use a diffrent hdd or sdd.
Install ubuntu on space you made on the partition or other hdd or sdd.
profit.

hi my friend gave me a power supply (corsair something) but he doesn't know if it works or not

How can I test if it works or not? I don't want to break components or anything

Other than that?
The assholes are limiting internet speeds, and blocking porn sites.
I've sent complains but they didn't even respond.

And it seems like there are other people sharing the same connection.

Are you doing it on a single disk or multiple disks?

If you're doing it on a single disk, just don't. It's painful and not really the right way to do things.

If you're doing it on multiple disks, the "easy" way is to simply disconnect your windows disk whilst you install ubuntu to the other disk. When it's done, plug the windows disk back in.

When a PC boots, it looks at the first small FAT partition on each disk to see if it holds an EFI bootloader. If it does, it will read that to boot whatever the bootloader tells it to.

When you install ubuntu with the windows disk still connected, it is probably over-writing the windows bootloader with its own. If you install ubuntu without the windows disk, it will create it's own bootloader partition. You can then choose between the two in your bios boot menu.

Do you want to actually check it or just see if it powers on?

Image related shows the pinout of the big ATX connector from the power supply (be sure to check your orientation, the clip to hold it in the socket should be on the right hand side with the pins facing you.

If you just want to power it on, use a paper clip to connect PS_ON with any of the COM pins.

If you want to check the voltages and see if the power supply actually works, get a multi-meter, it it in voltage reading mode then check (all) the 5V, 3.3V and 12V pins by putting the RED voltage meter probe in the appropriate pin, and the BLACK probe in any of the COM pins. If it reads the correct value, you should be good. Do this whilst the PSU is on, using the previous paper clip method, obviously.

forgot my image, fuck.

Okay my GPU doesn't show a temperature in speccy and judging by the game performance it isn't being used. I reinstalled the drivers but that didn't help. What's the problem?

By the way this isn't a new, I've been using the gpu for years.

it's relative.

If I'm hacking your PC, I am *downloading* data from you, and you are *uploading* data to me.

If you're connecting to your bank's website, they are *uploading* data to you and you are *downloading* data from them.

It isn't to do with the locality of the machines, but the direction of flow.

When you go to a website, like Sup Forums, you are both uploading and downloading. You upload a request to get information to Sup Forums's servers, then you download the response which tells your browser how to get all the posts and images and shit.

Fucking twink trap heathen! KYS F40 times over, sucker of cock!

Now geforce experience says there is no driver found despite the fact I just installed the same one. What the hell is going on?

Get hwmonitor.

It should show you a GPU utilisation %, current, min and max. With it open, play a game for a few minutes in an intense section. Do you see the utilisation value go to 90-100%?

Are you 100% sure your monitor is plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard? I know plenty of people who accidentally do this.

Grab the latest drivers from their website, and do a "custom" installation and on the next screen be sure to select "clean installation". That will remove anything that was there already and do a full new install of the nvidia driver.

You seem pretty upset over someone's distaste for a car. Based on that sentence, I'd say you should stick to the third world shithole you came from.

Can you check the router and PC if they are showing high traffic on idle? How is the cabling? How are the security settings in your router? Have you tried another router?

reboot your router, see if it goes away. Your router might be holding more states than it can handle (too many connections).

Otherwise do the shit the other guy said.

thanks

I'm gonna try that. But what if I loos the ability to boot into my windows? And wont ubuntu's boot and windows boot clash somehow?

Will ubuntu install into legacy be default? Because I can't change boot options in the bios without ruining windows.

No, traffic levels are minimal on idle. This is just one example from this network i've set up. This is wirelessly connected but that shouldn't effect a connection on the other side of the continent...

Router has been rebooted and settings -should- be fine. any specifics i shoulds noop at?

done it

Do you mean the PC is wirelessly connected to the router or do you have some 4G dongle that's wirelessly connected to your ISP? The traffic from your PC to the router is fine, but the problem is obviously between your router and the router that it's connected to.

Some of the security settings can increase latency a lot too, if they keep checking all the packets that come and go. Have you done any changes to the settings or is it brand new device with default settings?

What is the best way to compile C on windows?
Everything I've looked at seems horrible.
