Hey guys I have a question about overclocking I can't seem to find the right answers. I'm a noob at this so bear with me.
I recently bought a I7 6700k on a MSI Z170A M7 mobo and I'm going to overclock it. So far I read that the main thing I need to do is set the multiplier to 45 for a 4.5Ghz speed and change the option for voltages.
How would I go about testing all of this? I'm using CPUz to monitor the core speed and core voltages and using Prime95 to stress test.
So far I would crash or get a core failing when using around 1.25~ volts so I'm using 1.264 right now and it hasn't crashed or had any errors in the past 30 minutes.
Is there anything I'm missing that needs to be done?
Also how long do I need to run Prime95 to have my voltages for my multiplier to be considered "Stable" is the 24 hour mark a "gold standard" or something?
I'm running temps around 65~ currently.
Thanks for the help I appreciate it guys.
Picture unrelated, just using my laptop to post this.
edit: It does sometimes jump to 1.272V according to CPUz
That's about it just runs stress tests for quite a while to see if you crash. Prime95 has a check math mode where t will see if your getting errors
I just let it run until I think it's good
>>55402424
Yeah thats what I read about doing to ensure it's stable at the voltages. Now I'm just double checking in case I missed anything. In the bios I edited 2 things, the multiplier from 40 to 45, and the voltages for the cup.
I just got a clock watchdog thing as we speak so I think I have to up the voltages again
I'll try to make this short and I'll send anyone who solves my problem $20 PayPal.

My computer is my life, I just bought Overwatch. So I bought a new charger. Did I do well?

Take the battery out and try powering it back on. If it shuts down it's probably an overheating issue.
Seriously, this is it. This is the best smart device of 2013 and quite possibly 2014.

Why do mainstream browsers obfuscate the full URL from the address bar now? Are they trying to pull an AOL on us and obscure domain names?
You literally have to go into the secret area of VIP quality settings to disable this behavior.
What's the point of doing something like this? What are they hoping to achieve?

Browsers don't show the full URL anymore. Is that simple enough for you?

They've been hyping it since 2012 and there's still content for it 4 years later.

It's just not necessary for most people. The move to HD from SD was obvious even to a grandma. Anything above 1080p (hell, arguably even 720p) is well into the realm of diminishing returns in how many people are going to care, or even notice for that matter.
it works well for computer monitors and people sitting around 2-3 ft away from the screen.
If you are sitting 8ft + away you will need to have a huge screen 80+ inches minimum to benefit from 4K. Most people just don't have the room for that huge of a TV.
The only thing all of this has done for me is making 1080P televisions cheaper.

What is the cheapest ITX build I can do including both LGA 1150 and 1151, that will perform AT LEAST as well well as a 2500k from back in the day?
There is nothing wrong with my computer right now other than it being old and noisy. I want to switch to ITX form factor, but finding an ITX motherboard for a 2500k is impossible. So I need to "upgrade" to something newer.
I don't really need more performance and I don't have a budget in mind, I just would like to get going with a build at least as good, for as cheap as possible.
Any suggestions?

They will be back soon, it happened before. What do you expect anyway. Tutanota is free but I don't think many people use their premium accounts. They are somewhat popular so maybe the traffic is high or they are doing maintenance. If you want a private stable email, go to privacytools.io and choose a paid one from there. I paid 12$ for a year at mailbox.org, they give you some cloud space and office utilities, also a shitton of settings, I like them. If you don't want to pay a few dollars per year, then get back to Google or try to appreciate what the people at Tutanota are doing for you at no cost.

Don't have any experience with Quake 4, but I'd say something's wrong. I think your integrated graphics should be better than that.
>>55401583
No, it only has 3 GB.

I fixed it since making this thread.
It couldn't detect my refresh rate and setting it manually has allowed me to achieve 60 for at 4k resolution.
Thanks for any concerns, gonna play this game I missed out on now.
I have a MacBook Pro and the hard drive crashed. I do not have any installation cd's, where can I download software so I can reload from a flash drive
>>55401501
Download it from the App Store in your purchase history. You really should keep the Install OS X.app around for this reason.
just go into recovery mode it will connect to wifi or ethernet and then pull down the recovery program and download the os for reinstall

Oh yea I forgot about this, do this.

I don't assume with pic related? Vega furry probably will just barely compete with the 1080.
Hi /g/!
tl;dr: What is your opinion about Alienware laptops, do they really worth it?
So, I need to buy a laptop, building a desktop is not an option (I already have one), I need to move it, and I don't want a mac. I'm thinking about buying an Alienware, I want it for good quality gaming (WoW, FFXIV, etc) and for working with Adobe programs, mostly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, all at the same time. I have been lurking around and I'm not sure about it, it looks like there are other laptops with almost the same specs but the are a lot cheaper,...

>paying for the name?
Yes. Paying for the glaring LEDs all over. The stupid fucking logo. And the name. If you absolutely NEED a gaming laptop, get something from the Asus ROG line. Or order a custom Sager. If you're looking to drop dosh on Alienware trash, you have plenty of money for the Sager models.

Those things are thicker than cheeseburgers and weigh as much as a heifer. I've had alienware "laptops" before and they are not ideal if you actually care about mobility and battery life. Oh and I hope you are a fan of 5000+ rpm fan speeds because those things will not shut off even if you are casually surfing the web. In short, I would not recommend an Alienware, but if you absolutely must, get it with the...

Yes, I am worried about the weight too, I currently have a 17" and it is very heavy and a pain to mover after a while. The 15" inch Alienware has the same weight and has a smaller screen, so I was thinking in only buying the alienware if it has something so special that it worths the pain on my back, haha.
