Hey guys,
looking to discuss ideas and things that can be done to bring this idle temp down. Bought my rig in mid november, got a MSI R9 390 Twin Frozr which was recommended to me by a bunch of people. This thing idles at 63*C on web browsing. I try to set up custom fan curves and it doesn't, Afterburner says it is running at 16% fan power. This is horseshit. What do you guys do it fix it?

>What do you guys do it fix it?
My temps went down when I bought a Sapphire 390 op.
Don't know what to tell you OP.
My MSI 390x idles at 28c, hovers in the low 30s when browsing the internet or watching video, and that's with the fan at 10-20%.
It hasn't even broke 60c under load.

Only sapphire has good cards for AMD. Everyone else just takes their Nvidia design and put it 1:1 on an AMD card. Obviously not a good idea
Experiences with Deal Extreme?
Used to buy parts for my many psps from them, once received an order where the screen was messed up, and they sent me a new one no issue. Keep in mind this was back in 2013 so i can't provide any recent experiences

its exactly like aliexpress, shit takes forever to ship, and much of it is cheap Chinese crap. But there are some really good products for way less than they are worth, you need to know what you are looking for.

>white people made everything
Well memed.
this is what a $6000 per month budget looks like
People who run a Patreon don't deserve $72k/year
But if you divide that between all of the members of the channel it's really not that much right?
>>52016928
If you keep in mind that they also get YT money and get paid to shill products, I'd say they're all making quite a lot.

DVI or HDMI
and Why?
If you use 1080p and NOT higher resolution then there's absolutely no fucking difference at all.
Seeing the difference now isn't the reason why you should use DVI

what have I done

How, what, where?
got a 25 inch 1440p here, pretty comfy, no scaling required
Tracking Details
Google Chrome's user tracking capabilities include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
Installation. Upon installation, Google Chrome sends a randomly generated token from the installer back to Google. This is used to measure the success rate of Chrome installations. This feature is non-optional.
RLZ Identifier. An encoded string that, according to Google, contains non-identifying bits of information about where Chrome was downloaded from and when it was installed. It is transmitted to Google upon the first launch,...

Tl;dr It's useful. Why do people care so much about internet privacy? No one is that important.

Said the guy wearing clothes while having his curtains closed.
Bro, come on now. You value your privacy alright.
>disable
Having those things in the first place makes ne distrust Google completely.
What's the right way to do it?
Pic related or should you spread it out using a credit card?
For me.. X method. It's easy and you should have consistent results

It depends on your TIM, but rice grain is normally the best
Why don't I have any problem or malware issues on Windows XP?
I know too many people with bloatware, rootkits, viruses or weird background stuff.
They reinstall Windows every year.
This is 1 2008 install, SP3 and everything. Why does it works so well? Is that because people still open random .exe or any executable file?
Disregard your opinions or Microsoft's fear-mongering about not being supported will cause the world to crumble, I still like it. do back-ups occasionally just in case.
Is it just me or are there others who prefer to stick with an "outdated" Os that just works smoothly instead of getting a >tactile botnet like OSX/Win10?

Sure, lots of people.
But they usually don't post on /g/, because they have work to do and just use their computers as tools.
/g/ and similar places online are for people who want to experiment with software, because they're bored.
Oh and shills (especially from MS).
So take everything here...

yeah well i think i'm on this case. if ever there was something my router or NAT could not stop, i'd just browse the net on my other Debian laptop and keep this thing offline, but i highly doubt it's possible to be affected.
is commonsense pro pack really hard for people?
Wow OP you are so cool hacker.
Having no viruses and stuff, that's amazing.
so I'm about to buy into the /g/ meme and install xubuntu on my laptop
1) what are the odds of getting all the drivers working and being able to run my computer like on windows? i.e. no crashes, forced 480x640 resolutions, trackpad not working etc
(I have an anus tp300la)
2) how often will I have to reinstall the OS?
3) are my privacy gains going to materialise? is xubuntu a goy distro?
Try A live version first
>>52016221
if the computer is less than 5 years old, you're probably fine, at least on Ubuntu. If something doesn't work its probably under the additional drivers menu.
>>52016233
already did and it seemed fine
I've heard battery management is an issue. is that still the case in the newer kernels?
I'm a technology illiterate shit but I need your help and sorry if I fuck up the terminology
I have an old laptop that was my brothers(he died) it's been fucked up since a Windows update gone bad so I had been running ubuntu live off when I use it because no Windows update disk
Since getting a smartphone I haven't used the laptop, I just like knowing it's here. but yesterday I received a DVD box set to a series that I had forgotten I loved and can only watch them on the laptop
I can access the hard drive and all files, I have 2 ubuntu...

you could take your laptop somewhere with wired internet or use your smartphone on some public wifi (if you have low data) to download a windows iso on your phone, then transfer iso to laptop and make bootable flashdrive
you could also potentially tether your phone to your laptop over usb
getting an iso should be easy enough on an android phone, if you have an iphone then ios <=9.0.2 is jailbreakable
Ubuntu is notorious for fucking up Broadcom wireless. You can get them to work but it will require some fixing.
Follow this link and hope it'll get you somewhere:

Thanks. I'll try to download the iso onto my phone first. Seems like the easiest. How does the latest distro do with broadcom drivers?

Have you read the book today then?
python is the best programming language :^)
So Ive decided I want to abandon Windows and move over to linux. Only problem is that Ive never used Linux in my life. I have some questions.
1. Is it as hard to learn to use linux as everyone says?
2.Whats the most user friendly Linux os that can provide a jumping off point?
3.How hard will it be to get mah steam gamez working? I understand that some like tf2 will run already but most wont.
4.Are there drivers avaliable for all rigs?
Thanks

No

Manjaro or Ubuntu depending if you want to learn Arch or Debiam based distros
>3
Depends on the games some have Play on Linux compatibility that is basicly a program that runs scripts and setups wine and everything for you other then that you will have to learn how to use wine.

Yes and no. There are quite a few proprietary drivers that fuck up but you should be mostly...

Can you explain the difference between Arch and Debiam?
Also I use a desktop I ordered custom about 7 months ago so its fairly up to date
>>52016111
You should have no problem.
It's mostly just how they compile their programs and stuff and the package manager.
Also let me correct myself I ment to say Debian.
Honestly your better off using Manjaro and it's not going to be straightforward but it will easier to use after you get over the learning curve.
hey guys
i know there are some wizards here with the necessary knowlage to help me.
what i'm looking for is a software or a script of what ever to find me statistic about specific words/phrases usage during a specific period of time and a specific country on twitter.
example:
i want to know how many time the phrase "i'm a faggot" has been used from 12/1/2015 to 12/23/2015 in the US on twitter
TL;DR how can i know the number of tweets with certain key words/phrase during a specific period of time ?
thank you
Make a database and harvest that info, retard. There's no magic fucking button you can press to get all of that.
>>52015844
Write a bot that polls twitter ever now and then, processing all that is gonna be difficult tho
This was anwered last time you asked... I don't want to look up all the tools so this time just do it yourself and use the twitter API and your own code.

oh no heaven forbid they fix security issues
I guess we should all just use OP's browser that ignores security advisories because they occur a week after release and that's "uncool"
