IS IT ALRIGHT TO RUN 809 WATTS ON AN 850 WATT POWER SUPPLY OR IS THAT PUSHING IT?
Just installed a 212 evo, running a prime95 stress test, one of my cores is running consistently cooler than the rest by upwards of 10C. Should I remount the cooler?

>>51604107
No, but you may not be using all the cores, prime can not activate all cores sometimes, check your settings.
>>51604201
Nah m8, all four are running and all four are running at 100 percent. I checked to make sure of that. Good thought though.

Is the sysadmin field oversaturated? I feel like I'm slowly developing a lot of the skills necessary for it naturally.
But does that mean too many people apply for that job for it to be an easy job to get into/be secure in?
>>51604764
You need both knowledge to prove in an interview, and you need certificates such as A+, Security+, CCNA, ... to get a decent job
If you think otherwise Gl to you
>>51604746
Help please.
>>51604821
You can wipe the current driver with this
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
and to find the best driver you should use ATI's auto detect program
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
>>51604792
I'm in college rn and I'm going to be working on the certs very soon now that I have foundational knowledge for many of them, I would just need to study for a few months for each one. But my question stands. how is job availability and security?
I just want to know that if something happens like if I move from one area to another I'll be able to get another job.
I'm not entirely sure how to phrase it. How replaceable it a sysadmin?
>>51604863
How do i uninstall/install the driver? Won't my screen just like go black? I know tihs would be stupid, but i'm just asking.
>>51604863
Oh and i'm also currently on Linux Mint, if that makes a difference, but i'm pretty new to it.
>>51604919
>how is job availability and security?
For me here in Ottawa/Canada it's widely available. Ofc if you travel it will always be different.
As for demand yes it is true there are a lot of sysadmins but imo the top notch jobs requires you to have those certificates and not everybody has them. If you're in College you will land a nice job
>>51604943
Those links were for Windows. For Mint you need to use the OS updater. You can also select closed/open source driver in settings (open is default) closed is better
Complete baby here. C++ question about pointers.
Why does this:int main() {
char c1, c2;
char *pc1,*pc2;
c1 = 'A';
c2 = 'B';
pc1 = &c1;
pc2 = &c2;
cout << "c1 = " << c1 << endl;
cout << "c2 = " << c2 << endl;
cout << "pc1 = " << pc1 << endl;
cout << "pc2 = " << pc2 << endl;
Print out as:
c1 = A
c2 = B
pc1 = A
pc2 = BA
What's with that additional "A" at the end? I wasn't pointing to c1 at all in pc1 right? Isn't it just supposed to bring out whatever c2 is? (pc2 = B)?
>>51604925
Also no the GPU comes with a minimal driver made for basic use (ie low screen res)
>>51604988
How do i do that Os updater stuff? Like i said, i'm really new to Linux, but i appreciate your help- Also, will that too uninstal/reinstall the driver?

It depends on what you originally installed

I have a particularly long house. My first desktop sits at one end of the house (Yellow dot), where all the WiFi stuff is. Green dot is a guest house that I occasionally rent, and to get the signal to there I have a range extender in the green house.
Now, between red and yellow dot are of course a lot of walls, and I know for a fact that wifi signal to there is not very good. I have the parts for a pretty nice pc in the mail right now and I need to know the best way for me to get sufficient signal for 1080p streaming and decent download speeds from yellow to red. No, I cannot position the new pc anywhere but at the red dot and no I cannot move the modem. Would my general speed suffer a lot from just setting up another range extender maybe halfway between red and yellow? Or should I just bite the bullet and manually wire from red to yellow with a long ass ethernet cable?

Stupid question for you. I built my rig for overclocking. I have a cooler master silent pro 1000w. It's powering three mechanical drives, an ssd, an r9 290, an fx 9590, and two liang d5 variable pumps. I can hit 5.2 with relative stability on all 8 cores and my cooling solution barely breaks a sweat. But if I try and go any higher, I get cpu over voltage errors on my crosshair v.
From what I have read, my vrm's can push 350 watts to the CPU. My vrm's are under a full cover ek water block, so heat isn't an issue. I think my PSU is my current bottle neck. What kind of specs should I be looking at in a beefier PSU? Do the vrm's draw from the standard 12 volt rails? Should I look for a single high wattage rail? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?
I do overclock my graphics card, but I am much more gentle with it. So it shouldn't be drawing too much more than stock power.
Is this a good GPU? I'm interested because of the discount

>>51610897

>>51611257
>I don't get why it is recommended to use a vpn to torrent
Depends on the isp and country, some just don't give a crap, in that case VPN are useless.
>>51611257
>the IPS reads everything that I request via internet
not literally everything, logins for example are safe over https
But they can tell what sites you visit even over https even if the content itself is secured
>>51609249

>>51611276
So if my ISP doesnt rat on people, copyright agencies can still find me if I download some popular torrent?
>>51611299
so the ISP just knows that some anon visited the piratebay and they deduce I should be a pirate? Or they put me on a monitor list and wait me to actually torrent?
>>51611335
Yeah, if they're monitoring it. Though usually they'll just send a threatening letter and move on
>>51611335
>So if my ISP doesnt rat on people, copyright agencies can still find me if I download some popular torrent
They can't possibly find out without literally tapping inthe the ISP wires
>Or they put me on a monitor list and wait me to actually torrent?
Again, depends on country/ISP
I never knew of someone actually getting in trouble for pirating movies/games/songs/programs
But as i said some might get pesky, for example mine made the router reset if i torrented at speeds over 600kb.
or they can send mails as >>51611347 said

Also my MoBo has only 4-pin CPU power and I'm running an FX 6300. Should I switch to a mobo with 8 pin power (and actual VRM heatsinks to prevent throttling)? Would pic related be worth it? It fits my white case so that's bonus points

I'm trying to find a cheap-ish replacement, I'm most probably never going to SLI/Crossfire so what it the minimum wattage I should get? Currently on an i7 920 + r9 280x.
How do I get a Run As Admin batch to save in the current directory. Whenever I run it the output gets sent to System32. The directory changes so doing something like cd %programfiles% or >> %programfiles% is kinda pointless.
>>51612265
520W is probably enough but if it's not much more expensive I'd go with 620 just in case
Also 620W gives you more room to upgrade to a more power-hungry card or CPU in the future
Is Crucial a good brand for SSDs?
>>51609405
i play a dumb amount of csgo on a 660 and a haswell i5 on all low graphics settings at a relatively consistent 160-180 fps
you can probably get similar parts for pretty cheep these days

The clip on my sata cable was so stubborn that the plastic gave out first, and now I have a cable with no means of securing. Am I a retard for using it anyway?

generally governments just block domains like piratebay, they don't do shit about actual torrents
ISP's just observe your traffic patterns, torrents involve a bunch of simultaneous small downloads from different connections, normal web browsing and other shit involves fewer unique connections
You get hunted down and sued by copyright keklords who seed popular torrents of their own material and send takedown notices to all IP's who leech from them, peer2peer connections reveal your IP to your peer. this is what a VPN changes, it hides your IP behind their VPN IP

I'm looking for a laptop that can decently run emulators and old 16-bit steam games I have purchased. I've looked through the gaming laptop guide but everything is well over $1100-1200 at the cheapest for updated versions of the laptops that are listed in the guide. Any suggestions?
any good cyber monday deals?
>>51612155
clear your caches and stuff
>>51612423
So using a VPN changes the "several small downloads and uploads with various connexions" to "several small downloads and uploads with ONLY one other server" ?
any good cyber monday mouse deals?
>>51612509
gaming laptops are memes, buy a thinkpad, normal laptop graphics can run lowlevel steam games and probably emulate most stuff
my 3 year old t530 with integrated graphics and blue A meme linux can play Binding of isaac rebirth, luftrausers, Race the sun, etc. just fine
>>51612566
a VPN is a tunnel, anybody monitoring your connection through a VPN sees one fat connection

Thank you. I come from an electronic background so I know little about networking and how the internet works. Can you recommend me some material to begin my learning in the field?

Is it possible to run a two monitor setup with different refresh rates for each? I have an R9 380.
I have a 144 Hz for main use but I'm thinking of adding a larger 60 Hz monitor for more casual gaming use as well as emulation connected to the same PC. Just wondering if anyone has had any issues. I'm assuming in 2015 this is not a problem.
>>51605126
I almost bought an i3 from them last week because it was $20 cheaper than anywhere else. Glad I didn't waste my time.
>>51612748
yes you can do this. the only problem I have is if you try to run a game at >60fps on your 144hhz while having something like a video playing on your 60 hz monitor, the 144hz will run at 60. This happens to me when I play csgo on my 144hz in windowed mode and play a video or watch a stream on my 60hz monitor.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YnfCHx
this will be the first i actually put together instead of repair or replace, i'm nervous. thoughts? i already have an asus 23" monitor, standard gaming fare.
>>51612800
Alright thanks for the heads up. That's interesting that the 144 Hz monitor reverts like that. I don't think I'd be trying to use both at the same time very much but that's good to know. I guess my worst fear is that I'd be forced to run 60 Hz at all times by having both connected.
A computer DOESN'T need a graphics card to work and give graphics, right? Just confirming. Processor is intel i5 4690k
>>51612966
having a processor like that without a graphics card is like spaghetti without meatballs
>>51612661
nope
>>51612987
It's just that the graphics card I want is out of stock and I still want to buy all of the other parts I wanted and build my computer and make sure everything about it worked fine
skylake or haswell when first time building for gaming only?
>>51612670
>>51612742
actually only have to turn off for that promo page, i still have it on and once you get through to the site once youre fine
Is newegg fucked up for anyone else? It just keeps loading the page with all the deals, no matter what I click. Cookies are enabled, scripts and requests are allowed, I'm not messing with referrers, what the fuck is going on?
>>51613017
may as well go for the newer generation
>>51613007
just make sure the motherboard you're getting has a video port of some sort. until you get your gpu enjoy that sweet 1990s era resolution.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/68GNdC
Someone reccomonded me this build. My goal was 550~ but it went a little over is this any good /g/? I just want some 60FPS gaming
>>51613049
manually type out a different part of the store or follow a link to a specific product and then navigate the website from the dropdown menus at the top.
>>51613007
You'll be fine. The integrated graphics on that card is powerful enough to run everything you do in Windows including stream movies at 1080p. Shit, I even played some games like Dark Souls on it when my graphics card went down. Don't listen to >>51613056, he's a fucking retard.
>>51613062
Holy fuck. I had to disable adblocker and work around /etc/hosts. Fuck Jewegg.
Looking at audio interfaces and mics.

Guys, help. I fucked up.
Long story short, I had upgraded my BIOS to UEFI some months ago, but my boot was in MBR (BIOS compatibility mode). I decided I'd fix that, so I converted my MBR to EFI using the gpt-fdisk (gdisk) with these commands (there are more, but just to give context):
shrink desired = 200 minimum = 200
create par efi
format fs = fat32 quick # Format this with fat32 file system
assign letter = Z:
exit
bcdboot X:\Windows /l en-us /s G: /f ALL
Thing is, I have an SSD. I was leaving about 30GB unallocated for over-provisioning, and forgot about that. My intention was to shrink the system partition 200MB and make an EFI partition with that much, but it ended up making a 30,2GB EFI partition.
How can I shrink it?
I'm buying a Blue Snowball Ice with the pop filter below, listened to some reviews and comparisons but there's no comparison for Snowball Ice vs the shitty Zalman-ZM1 clip-on mic I'm using right now.
I don't have the budget for a Yeti but I'm not doing anything professional, just usual Voip, video games and occasional acoustic guitar recordings just for fun. This should be good, right?
And does anyone have any experience going from Zalman-ZM1 to Snowball? Both are popular after all.

Their site a shit. It has been up and down for several days.

>>51613224
Say there's a file at
www.filehoster.com/filehere.7z
I want to upload it to another website but without downloading it to my computer first.
0x0.st can upload from URL doing
curl -F'url=www.filehoster.com.filehere.7z' https://0x0.st
But in my case the file I wish to upload isn't being accepted by them and I'm looking for an alternative website which has the same feature.
>>51612029
Nevermind.
>>51613302
that CP feel
if its just *your* computer you dont want the file on, use a vm or buy a cloud server for an hour from rackspace for like 3 cents
>>51613262
You're going to have around 2k less PPI than you'd have with 1080p / 24inch monitor. It's not going to look bad or blurry though, but 27 inch is more ideal for 1440p.
>>51613280
you don't sit 2 feet from a 60 inch TV.
FHD looks like absolute ass on a 27"
>>51613353
nah 0x0 just didn't accept it because it said it had no content-range header or something along those lines.
So this is what my laptop screen looks like right now. Could this be a hardware issue? When i tried reinstalling Windows, it crashed when it had to install the drivers and i got a "video_tdr_error" message. Im trying to reinstall my graphic drivers right now, but maybe anyone here can help me with this.
Say I use my computer after work, every day. Obviously it would be best to shut it down when I go to sleep right? When is it beneficial to keep a computer on all the time?

Having trouble with Cat6a compatibility. Needed a long outdoor cable to join two separate networks together across a long distance. I bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0040Y1P7E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Works fine from router (TD-W8970) to my desktop (MSI Gaming 5), doesn't work between the router and when connecting to my laptop/TL-SF1005D switch/TL-SG105 switch/TL-WR702N router, it just doesn't recognise any cable being patched in.
I've got an RC heli that didn't work out of the box, so I replaced the IC with an arduino nano and will communicate over RF.
Now, the driving IC's I connected for powering the motors are able to give the current, but the heli still isn't getting enough lift to take off.
Is it possible that the wires (regular breadboard wires) connecting the engine to the drivers aren't able to deliver the current? It's about the only explanation I can think of.
which is better Corsair 500R or Antec 900
My friend said the antec has bad cable management
how stupid is it to buy an aftermarket replacement power cable for an external hard drive if the original manufacturer has it out of stock on their website
most reviews say it's ok but the ones that say "it immediately fried my hard drive" scare me
>>51613800
Match the specs up and you'll be fine.
Is it even worth going LGA 1151 over 1150?
it seems to be even more marginal of a boost than last gen, and while you can get mobos with gen3 M.2 with it i'm starting to wonder if that's even worth it over SATA.
>>51613579
>My friend said the antec has bad cable management
He's more or less correct so in your case i'd go with the meme case.
>>51613800
While barrel size, voltage and amperage should be the only things to worry about, I would just crack it open and use a sata toaster to read it.
How does a Chromecast compare to a Miracast?
I'm looking for a device that I can stream either a screencast or dlna to.

What does "t." mean when used around here?
E.g "t. stupid Redditor"?

do you pay your own electricity bill?
there are negligible stress effects on HDDs from starting and stopping, so really no reason to keep your computer on.
if your boot time is that slow, SSDs get cheaper every day

do you have a skylake processor, if yes then yes, else probably no

consumer grade internet connection will have a dynamic IP, this makes it difficult to point webpages directly at it and is probably the wall youre encountering.
there are ways around this
>order item from amazon
>never get it delivered
>Tracking says an attempted delivery was made and a notice was left
>don't see any notice
>tracking says schedule another delivery online next to the notice left attempt
>put in my address and tracking number and schedule another delivery
>gets registered on the website as mail is being forwarded to a new address, even though it's the same address
>still no package days later
>call USPS
>bitchy hispanic woman says that my package was forwarded and keeps asking for my new address even though I explain I just asked for a redelivery
>another lady has to come in and tells me that they confirmed that my name and address is good and the delivery man can vouch for it( jesus christ) and that the system somehow got registered as forwarded even though it wasn't possible to reschedule a delivery even though it said so on the site and I have a redelivery request confirmation number
>says I'll get my package eventually
>1 week later tracking number says my package has been delivered to a completely different state on the other side of the country
are you fucking kidding me? how do I get my package
Since it's Cyber Monday, I'm thinking of fulfilling my longtime itch for a little Mini-ITX HTPC. This would be used solely for playing movies or streaming shit, but I'm wondering if my configuration will be:

>powerful enough to consistently decode 1080p video without issue
Cost, power consumption and noise levels were my main concern. What do you guys think? Are there any changes that I need to make for the intended purpose?
