I bought a new headset for my PC but the connector is a single 3.5mm jack, it is supposed to work on my phone but it doesnt, unless I plug in the detachable microphone.
The headset is a HyperX Cloud II and the phone is a Moto X 2014.
Is there any way to fix this ? Buying an adaptor maybe ? Downloading an app ?

I'm looking to upgrade/get a 2nd monitor. Right now I have a standard 24 inch, Benq "gaming" monitor. Its a TN panel and I really need to replace it. I'll still use it, but not as my main monitor, would prefer to rotate and have it as my secondary monitor.
Anyways, I'm looking for a suggestion. Should I get a 27" 1440p and have my other one as a secondary? Or just get another 24" 1080p? I have space for either one. My budget is like $250-$300 or so. I definitely want an IPS panel.
>>51921757
What are you looking for is a Dell U2515H.
Want 27" instead 24"?
Dell U2715H
Keep both screens, IPS screens dont are "good" for gaming.

What player to use? Last time I installed a codec pack to use with MPC-HC it literally fucked Sony Vegas and other editors up.
>>51921866
VLC don't have the need to install codecs.
>>51921880
Well, the problem is that the image seems to look better in MPC-HC so I'm not sure.
>>51921866
CCCP will deal with codecs for you.
Its MPC-HC+Codecs literally.
Avoid VLC.

>it literally fucked Sony Vegas
does CCCP avoid this from happening?
>>51921919
It should.

Here's my stupid question
Are 6 core processors worse than 4 core processors for gaming?
>>51922025
Yes and no.
Which processors you are trying to compare?
Mainly because most games will use maximum up to 4 cores, never gonna use the 5th and 6th cores.
Most of the time they will only use 2 cores, reason why intel CPUs are considered superior for gaming.
>>51922048
The intel 5930k vs the 6700
>>51922063
For starters one is a high end CPU and the other is a high-mid end CPU, also not unlocked.
i7 CPUs are usually considered bad for gaming because hyperthreading.
the i7 5930K is slower than the 6700 in single thread use, but in multithread/core the i7 5930K is superior.
And the i7 5930K is from the 2011 socket and expensive as fuck for its perfomance.
If you are going to play games you are better getting a recent I5, you wont even reach 60% usage at full settings on one like the I5-6600K.
>>51921866
Use MPV, or Baka MPlayer if you want a GUI.
youtube-dl is no longer playing Twitch streams like it used to. Any idea why?
>>51922238
i don't use twitch, but haven't they been planning on changing video formats?

Could anyone suggest some Audibooks or Podcasts about technology?
More specifically, educational material.
>>51922340
Several relay.fm podcasts are about technology, but I'm not sure that they could necessarily be called educational material.
>>51922118
having the 5930k wont actually hamper gameplay though will it?

I just reinstalled windows on a new build, and I have three monitors plugged into my 280x and I installed the and drivers, but it wont let me extend the displays! Duplicating the displays works, but not extend! What did I do wrong??? Please help xoxo
>>51922339
no, they're moving AWAY from flash iirc. to html5
I have Windows 7 installed on an SSD, and today it refused to boot, every time I restarted it, it became slower to the point that getting past the BIOS screen took a minute or two. This had never happened to me before, so I'm quite confused. I tried formatting the SSD and reinstalling on it again after backing up everything on my other 2 HDDs, and it worked fine for the first hour when I was installing the drivers, but after 2 resets required by the drivers' installers now it went back to being frozen. What the hell do I do now?
Best onion sites for $uying things
>>51922437
It definitely still uses flash. The controls are HTML5, but the player itself still uses flash.
>>51922404
No, most modern high end CPUs wont be bottlenecked by games.
If you want better perfomance, spend it on a good GPU since that will determinate how well your games will run.
Its good to have a really good unlocked CPU so you wont have to upgrade in years (See I5-2500K, years and still kicking good) so if you want to get one, get it.
But talking about CPU power the difference in games is from minimum to nothing.
Unless you are getting a cheap I5 (i5-4460) instead a good one (I5-4690k/4790K/1151-2011-V3 socket CPUs), there you will notice a huge difference.
Most people get a stronger CPU so it wont bottleneck their videocards.
So I didn't want to feel like a retard and make a thread begging people, so h-here I go!
I am building my first computer for games (dat disposable income), I mainly play LoL, ARMA 3, Space Engineers, Paradox games, the new SQUAD game and some others. So not really graphically demanding but does need a good processor. I'm also waiting for Pascal.
This is my build so far (using Falcon guide and some help).

Help gee,
GTX960 or r9 380? Why?
>>51922480
The 5930k IS unlocked
>>51922238
Use livestreamer, there's even a twitch gui if you don't like CLI.
>>51922528
380. It's a stronger graphics card with better longevity.
>>51922528
GTX960, AMD is always buggy
>>51922480
>>51922404
>>51922552
What im trying to say, most recent games wont use the CPU 100%, GPU is way more important.
But if you want to get a I7-5930K get one, is really good and will last you years.
I just dont see why spend atleast $1200 on a computer that will be used only for games, also + the price of a good GPU which would leave it around $1700~1900.
>The 5930k IS unlocked
I know, that is what the K means, where did i said otherwise?
>>51922449
What SSD?
Looks like its dead m8.
Boot from an HDD and run crystal on the SSD
>>51922449
boot from a different drive and run diagnostics to check health. prepare to replace it.

Thank you very much, is there any place I could cut prices?
The GPU seems a bit strong seeing as Pascal is coming out in a half a year. Someone recommended the 390

then use your old gpu or the integrated on the cpu. it's a big waste of money to buy a gpu if you're upgrading in 6 months

dont even bother looking at those things
What should I upgrade to from an iPhone 4S
>>51922673
iphone 6+
>>51922673
iPhone 5s's are relatively cheap now if you can't afford a 6s+ (get a case for it though). If you wanna switch away from iPhones consider a G4 or a OnePlus 2
>>51922691
I'd rather an android device
>>51922655
Thank you again.
I think this is what I'll go with
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gV9HP6
But what about casefans?
They arn't on the wiki really.

How do I download all files from an HTTP Directory (without wget)?
Directory in question is

>>51922713
I personally would go with the G4 but both are really good.
>>51922704
dude, a 390 is a huge fucking waste of money if you're upgrading in a few months.
and the case comes with a few fans, plus you your cpu cooler will use up one or two.
>thermal controller
you mean fan controller? waste of money.
and the R4 case is outdated as fuck.
>>51922720
bad luck. just run the diagnostics like we said and you will find out if it's the SSD or not.
>>51922733
M8 just looks better in terms of body to me
>>51922720
Well, yeah. Chances are it's dead. Just diagnose it and post results.
You may try another sata port, or roll back to ide if you're using AHCI to rule out BIOS errors but it's highly improbable.
>>51922735
Wouldn't getting a 390x be even bigger waste?
I'm a bit confused.
>its outdated
Should I go with the R5?
>>51922735
>>51922785
Here's the diagnostics from crystal, it says that it has good health, but I might be missing something.
https://a.uguu.se/qrmzpt_EVO850.txt
>>51922790
yeah but ANY gpu will be a fucking waste if you're gonna upgrade that soon. just use your old card or the integrated on the cpu.
>>51922793
download an untouched windows iso and reinstall
So /g/, I have an A8-7100 apu running Microsoft cpu drivers from 2009. Is this good? Should I do this? If not, hoe do I switch to AMD drivers?
>>51922815
Will do, but it's what I got from the windows website before they took it down.
>>51922829
download them from the amd website maybe?
>>51922844
If you're updating so soon, get a used GPU instead if you want something dedicate and can't use your old one.
Consider a 290X or something like it - that should tide you over nicely without being expensive.
>>51922793
Looks fine from here.
Do what the other anon said, mdl forums have an original ISO repository.
Are your HDDs booting fine? Fucking weird.
>>51922856
It only gives me gpu drivers tho

They are, I would keep the HDD installation if I didn't have the SDD, will post results when I get the download done.
How do I install gentoo without half-an-hour of entering console commands?

windows update then.
So I'm running a non genuine build of Windows 7 (the notification on the desktop only appeared a week ago after over a year of use). Today I got the notification for the Windows 10 upgrade. I want to take advantage of this while I can, but is it recommended? Will I regret it if I don't back up my files first (I don't currently have an external Hard Drive) This is my first time upgrading an OS so sorry if that's a stupid question (even though this is a stupid questions thread)

Is it a laptop processor? Maybe that's why.
>>51922957
Yeah, no, some minor applications may require a reinstall but you'll keep your media, documents and user files. It's always recommendable to do a clean install but not mandatory.
>>51922941
cheaper mobo unless that one has way better mosfets and oc ability that you really want.
change ram to ones without those fucking huge retarded things that sticks up.
get one 2TB drive instead, it's cheaper and more reliable.
dont buy corsair CX models they're cheap and a lot worse than their other models. get EVGA, XFX, Antec HCG or Seasonic.
Get R5 case instead, or the Define S. R4 is outdated.
and a single noctua fan is pointless.

My r9 290 has a refernce design cooler on it. Should I
1. buy a watercooling loop for my graphics card only (cpu has a d14 on it)
2. Buy a kraken G10 & 120 or 240mm AIO and stick it on the GPU
3. Not worry about it
Most days here in summer are 40 degrees and gaming gets real sweaty (Aus life)

alright thanks lad, i'll get on it now

Yeah, its a laptop one. The Microsoft drivers seem to fuck performance though. Takes a ridiculous amount of time to boot, and the icons take forever to load
>>51923048
3.
what temps does the gpu reach? even 90c is fine
>>51923068
that's because of your HDD, numbnuts.
>>51923020
Nigger youre scared about installing a pirated OS but at the same time going for a shit tier bottom of the barrel PSU that could fry your whole rig?
Is this real life?
Just get an ISO and daz loader from mydigitallife forums, there's a sticky with everything. I vouch for everything bro.
>>51923081
Mid 70s in csgo. Fan spin at 55%
I'm pretty sure it's the gpu that makes me sweaty.
>>51923023

one more thing, from what I gather I need to use MBR Regenerator first because I have the non genuine windows error, have you ever used it and will THAT delete things off my pc?
>>51923081
Shouldn't be this slow though, right?
>>51923068
That does not sound like a CPU issue sempai. Diagnose your HDD with crystal, post results.
>>51923102
Better cooling won't decrease your ambient temperature, and hence make you less sweaty. The card will still be producing the same energy.

>>51923198
Already done. Just the CPU driver missing
>>51923174
I have a couple of thoughts regarding that build:
Firstly, CPU cooler. I've both had, and seen, problems due to the CM Hyper 212 (and derivative) coolers. The issue is in backplate and loading on the motherboard. Over several years, the torque of the cooler causes indentation at the top of the back-plate, and the base of the loading screws. In the worst case I saw, this had broken through the board lacquer and caused a short. If you can budget it, I'd seriously consider getting a prebuilt water cooling loop with a 240mm rad or greater. They're fairly reliable now, and avoid the loading issues.
My other point is just for considerations: A 650W PSU doesn't give you much overhead for overclocking with upgrades. It's impossible to predict the future, but GPUs do seem to be trending upwards in power usage. It might be smarter to get a ~750W, especially due to the small additional cost.
>>51923188
Won't help much, assuming the room is of a typical size, over any prolonged time it probably reaches equilibrium. Moving it to the floor might help a little bit, but then you have dust issues and poor ventilation. Just open a window.
>>51923174
I don't know about those series but there are much better PSUs at that price range, try to go for a xfx, antec or seasonic.
Check your wattage needs on extreme outervision calculator but you should be fine with any 650w PSU if you don't plan to SLI.
If you're unsure about a PSU check its review on jonnyguru, he's kinda biased towards seasonic, but that's for a reason.

And just for shits and giggles let me ask you: you're going to overclock the shit out of that i5 right?
How do I get into networking? What's a first good project? Is it worth getting into?
>>51923517
CCNA.
>>51923482
As the guy who mentioned the CM212 issue, I haven't seen it to the same extent on other air coolers. The other thing that you might be able to do, is to mount the rearmost CPU fan to both the case and the cooler, supporting it on the case.
The Corsair (and pretty much all other closed loop water coolers with similar or greater rads) outperform the noctuas now, so if you're going for OCing there's a material benefit.
what exactly are inversion artifacts and why should I be worried about them?
>>51923512
I might, but I'm expecting this to perform acceptably right out of the box. OCing struck me as something to do when your PC doesn't cut it anymore and you're trying to hold off on upgrading.
>>51923415
I will probably end up going with this, if it's got the seal of approval from y'all.

I have a 6 node cluster on one hyper-v server, is it possible to completely clone all 6 nodes onto a new hyper-v server to make a 12 node cluster?

Sweet build, I'm jelly.
Cold will probably destroy your components since it reallocates spin numbers on each electron during basal energy state creating cold magnetism that interacts negatively with the earths ever changing magnetic poles, move to Florida.
>>51923770
dont worry. just let them warm up to room temp for an hour or two before you try to boot up.
and get a grounding bracelet just to be safe.
also there should be thermal paste pre-applied on that cooler, or you get some with it.
>>51923826
kek i actually chuckled. that some boss-tier psuedo-science lingo
>>51923833
Yeah, they actually have good thermal paste. It's not worth remove and reapplying.

Super stupid question, but this is the thread for that: Will freezing temps damage the water cooler because, uh, water?
(plz don't bully)
>>51923860
Unless it freezes, there should be no damage.
If the water does freeze, it could burst/leak.
>>51923860
it shouldnt, but if it does you'll notice and you should get a free refund or replacement.
>>51923892
Fug. Maybe It'd be better to get a cheap-ish fan cooler, then upgrade to a water cooler once spring comes around.
onboard audio on my mobo is messed up. audio/video out of synce. Do i need to connect my gpu to monitor with HDMI cable to get nvidia audio or would dual link dvi work?
>>51923921
Unless you leave it outside in -20c weather for hours on end, it probably won't freeze. As long as the room you're in isn't at or below 0c, you should be fine.
>>51923926
Have you tried turning it off then back on again?
>>51923860
How fucking cold is there? I believe there should be some room for the water to expand.
Stupid question: is it just water or water + some kind of refrigerant like car radiator water?
>>51923921
do you have any clue how they transport packages and what the distribution centers look like and operate?
it wont be the cold more than a couple hours at a time at most. and even then it wont be directly in the open air, but in the back of trucks and cars.
chances of it freezing is almost none.
>>51923980
it should have additives to prevent crap stuff from growing, but i doubt it has anti-freeze in it.
My laptop with Windows 10 has been updating for the past hour. What can I expect with this update?
>>51924075

>>51924075
More "telemetry".
How difficult is it re-do all the cables in the average gaming pc? I had a friend help me build my first rig, and he did all the cable work for it. I had to return a defective power supply, and the shop offered to install the new one free of charge.
Its absolutely atrocious in there. They didn't route any cables behind the management holes in the case, and a lot of stuff is tangled into bunches. The CPU power cables even being stretched taught. Like actual tension on it.
tl; dr I've never fucked around with cables in a pc. how hard is it?
>>51923980
>>51923860
I don't actually know for the corsair ones, but I'd expect they'd have some antifreeze. Definitely room for the water at +4c though.
>>51924251
Doing it for the first time? Probably 2 hours of work, hard to fuck up.

I have an external hard drive, the small portable kind, from Seagate. It's quite old, perhaps 7 years, and I haven used it in a while until now. I noticed that whenever the drive comes out of idle state a series of three beeps come from it, a sort of knocking on a door rythm *beep beep beep* while the drive spins up.
Is this something I should worry about? I did a quick google search but every result was about a drives making beeping noises AND no being recognized by the pc but mine works fine.

So I'm having some weird issues with my internet connection speeds at the moment. In general it's slow as fuck but when I speedtest (on wireless) it starts off at 10mbps (paying for 100) then drops to 5 like half a second after then continues to decrease. Similar thing happens when I try it with wired (starts at 20 then drops.) It's not happening to any other devices that connect to the extender currently and I haven't had any issues with it previously.
List of shit I've tried:
>Restarting the extender, my laptop and the main access point.
>Run these
netsh int ip reset reset.log
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
netsh winsock reset catalog
nbtstat -r
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
>Tested on multiple devices
>Tried changing wireless channels
>Run AV scan
>Killed services/processes that could have been using bandwidth (win update, steam etc)
Nothing that I know of has changed prior to the problem starting
So I cleaned my mechanical keyboard since it was long overdo for one.
I just used soap and warm water and let it dry for a few days before putting all the keys back on and plugging it in.
Now it feels kind of sticky. I'm hoping that will go away after a few days of use since taking off all the keys is a bit of a pain and I don't want to clean it again. Any of you have a similar experience?
>>51925248
Maybe you didn't rinse the soap out properly?
>>51925274
I thought that I ran everything under water enough but you're probably right. I think I'll just try cleaning it with alcohol this time.
I have a virtual machine that I want to use as an isolated sandbox to scan files and movies for malware and viruses, but the hard drive I want to sync with it already has those files stored onto it.

Is it possible for the VM to access the drive while it's still connected to the main computer?

Why is my 24-port switch slower than my router? They're both rated @ ~100Mbps max, or so.
However, I have shitty internet here (~10Mbps), so, the rating doesn't matter anyways, right?
The only reason we even have a switch is because when we had our house built, we had ethernet ports wired in nearly every room, and it seemed...cumbersome, to just have a 24-port router. Those are ridiculously expensive iirc. So I bought a switch and plugged everything in downstairs. I didn't really notice the "slowness".
About a month ago, our internet died (it was the ISP's fault) and my family thought it may have been the switch, since there was no reply from our ISP; they plugged in a router and attached four important ethernet cables from around the house into the router. Apparently, there was a very noticeable difference in speed.
When I came home for fall break, I attached everything back to the switch, and everything was working fine. However, my brother said that it "got shitty again"; for example, he could normally watch videos on YouTube in 720/1080p nearly fine, but now shit barely worked even at 144/240p.
I'm stumped, and google is barely helping. I'd like to put the switch to use, and if it's actually just defective or something, could anyone recommend a good price/performance 24-port switch?
Thanks in advance, whichever anons respond.

I bought an ssd to put into my mom's old laptop as a gift to speed it up for Christmas.

Is it safe to write and rewrite to an SSD?
Currently run my OS/programs off one, but considering a secondary SSD for a few games, but they would probably be changed out sometimes. I had heard rewriting is bad for SSD, but I've also heard that was more early SSD and current ones are fine for it just dont defrag them.
Poorfag here, going in for an AMD GPU, Used 290 or new 380?

>>51927429
I don't understand what you mean by 'write and rewrite'.
>>51927429
What would be the point of buying one if you don't use it?
SSD's work just fine rewriting, so long as you turn TRIM on
>>51927429

What do you think rewriting means? I feel you do not understand the concepts you are talking about.
>>51922509
>audio card
nah, good headphones/speakers are key
>>51927429
using "write" and "rewrite" together gives the impression that you mean "write" as being a permanent operation
all writes on ssd's are rewrites, and since there's no such thing as write-once flash, "write" in the context of flash is the same as "rewrite"
>>51922633
>cut prices

>>51927444
As in doing frequent erasing and changing of data.

Ya have Trim on. Currently just running basic stuff and the OS off the SSD and everything else off a mechanical, but I love the silent operation so much I was thinking of getting a decent sized one for games and larger programs or programs with large working files like video editing.
Seriously never getting a WD again. Was using a black drive and god damn that thing made a lot of noise.

when x++ is run you copy its original value and pass it to printf
++x and x seem to pass its final value in the function call regardless of when it's executed.
Firefox just updated it self i guess and now some of my crucial addons dont work
Can i rollback?
>>51921483
x++ passes x as it is to the function, and increases it either before it runs the function or after it returns, it's up to the compiler what to do.
++x immediately increases x
it's up to the compiler to reorder the statements in the arguments however it likes.
tldr;
don't change a value while passing to a function
>>51921483
>Why this happens?
>printf("%d %d %d %d\n",x,x++,x,++x,x++);
Unspecified behaviour
You have no guarantee in which order the arguments are passed.
>>51921570
>>51928050
See above, it's unspecified behaviour.
>>51928145
>don't change a value while passing to a function
It's okay to do so, but don't pass change the value more than one time in the arguments.
Bothprintf("%d\n", x++);
printf("%d\n", ++x);
are fine.
Butprintf("%d %d %d %d\n",x,x++,x,++x,x++);
Is not. The only guarantee you have is that after after all the arguments are evaluated and printf is invoked, that x will be 3 more, but the values passed to printf can be anything in the range [x, x+3]

I doubt the driver will do that granted I'm no expert. Try to test if you have a spare cable. But if I'm gonna guess, it's your monitor.

>>51925910
most switches splits the speed into the number of connected computers. so if you have 4 computers using the internet at the same time, you get 10/4=2,5 Mbits for each user.
a router will manage the traffic so one user can use more than the others.
