Running CM 12.1 on Asus ZF2 and was having an issue with gpsd and Google Play Services battery drain, used an app called GFix from the playstore to fix it and it did, but now I'm getting a huge battery drain from Android OS, and it never did this before.
I deleted all apps I thought would have been troublesome, but it still persists, what could be causing it?
Reposting in new thread
Came home from work last night and tried turning on my rig, nothing. Check cables and outlet, nothing. Checked switches and voltage. Switch out PSU cord, nothing.
I remember I have extra PSUs for this reason and remove the mobo completely from the case leaving only the CPU/CPU fan in. Plug in both PSUs and trip the power switch. Nothing.
Just for shits I check all of the PSUs to make sure they weren't fucked.
Emailed Gigabyte's RMA last night. I'm sure it's the mobo. Am I an idiot and did I forget anything?
is there any way to automatically continue downloads with filezilla in case the connection shits itself during the download? i'm currently having internet troubles and i'd rather not sit there and wait for 100gb to download on my slow connection
How come we have CPUs commonly going into 3.5-4.0 Ghz territory (talking about stock speeds), but GPUs seem to be stuck at under 1.5?
>>52289812
if the mobo doesn't beep at all during post, it's probably broken. i don't think you forgot anything.

In the last thread, I asked how to solve an overheating problem with my CPU.
I went out, I bought thermal paste, and now the idle temps have dropped 20°C, which is great.
The issue now is that the same problem is happening with my GPU.
You can see the idle temp is over 60°C, but that's not the end of it.
If I booth any graphics intensive game (used Fallout 4 to test it now), the temperature spikes to 99+°C in a matter of less than five minutes, and remains there until I turn the game off.
Of course the GPU fans spin loud enough to make the computer feel like it's going to take off.
What should I do? Should I replace the GPU thermal paste too? I've bought it two years ago and never opened it, the stock paste should be still holding up fine, yet it's acting like this.
>>52290509
because jsfiddle wraps it into an onload event function, so it's not global and can't be accessed.
you need to set it as global function manually.

Should a PSU be getting loud enough to hear when playing a modern game?
>>52291122
no.
>>52291136
why would it do that in the case it was noisy?
I'm not talking some clanking or coil whine but just a constant noise
>>52291151
I mean when it's not doing anything or doing a low yield task I can't even hear it. Then I boot up something like MGSV or Mad Max and I can hear it. Older games it stays pretty much silent. It's a platinum 750 Watt psu by the way
>>52291151
i cant say for sure seeing as i havent heard it but if its a constant sound then it could be a dying fan on the psu. if its not under waranty then i would take it apart and check to make sure that the fan is working properly.
>>52290603
Um, excuse me, but what the fuck changed about your GPU? In the last thread, your CPU was the one with the temp problem and your GPU seemed fine. now that you've fixed your CPU temps your GPU temps are suddenly up? What?
>>52291188
I bought it recently. It's a new unit
>>52291220
if its under warranty i would call the manufacturer and request an RMA. it should be fairly easy companies typically dont like it when they send people dysfunctional stuff
>>52291220
Additionally it only does this when I'm playing a modern game. Mad Max does it but the sound stops when it's on pause.
Older games like deus ex (even human revolution), ass creed games, age of empires don't suffer from it.
So is it simply not getting enough power somehow? My previous psu did the same thing before I replaced it but made the noise during idle sessions
>>52291294
what is the wattage on the psu? and post your speccy. (prefferably in the same post to prevent clogging of the board)

Still, it's getting overly hot over stuff it shouldn't be having problems with, any fixes for GPU overheating?
Like mentioned, it's only 2 years old, should I take it apart and replace the thermal paste in there too?
99+C temperatures for 4 minutes of gameplay are way too high for a mid-high range card like a GTX760
What am I doing wrong?result = True
index = 0
while index < 4:
if result == True:
result = False
else:
result = True
index += 2
print(result)
The final answer is "True".
Index 0 = False
Index 2 = True
Since it's still below 4, aren't you supposed to add +2 again? That would make it "False" again.
I'm just doubting, or is it never supposed to reach "4" in the first place?
I recently bought a used HIS 7950 IceQ Boost (pic related). It's working fine and the temperatures are low, but the fan gets pretty loud when I'm playing games. If anyone here has ever used this card (or another card with a similar IceQ fan), could you tell me if it's normally somewhat noisy at load? Should I apply lubricant to the fan bearing or just get used to the noise?
idk if it's more /g/ or /sci/ but whatever.
Would a book make a reasonably secure one-time-pad or am I missing something? Say I'm assigning every character a value equal to its position in the alphabet, blank spaces get a value of 27, commas get a value of 28, colons get a value of 29, and dots get a value of 30. For simplicity's sake, let's assume there's no other symbols in the book and that we're starting on page 1. My encrypted message is a sequence of numbers; the first number gets added to the numeric value of the first character in the book, the second number gets added to the numeric value of the second character, rinse and repeat. If you wind up with a value above 30, keep subtracting 30 until you wind up with a value between 1 and 30. The number you wind up with corresponds to the position of the character you want on the aforementioned extended alphabet.

>>52291369
you should be well within the recommend power draw for that. unless youve got an ass ton of peripheral devices. contact the manufacturer and do an RMA. it soulds like when you place strain on the components of your computer they start drawing more power. your psu starts getting warm from the power draw so the fan kicks into a higher gear and boom youve got your sound. either way you need to contact your manufacturer.
What is the best ROM for Xiaomi Redmi 1S?
>inb4 MIUI
>>52291584
right now your sitting at around 500W draw under load.
do the math on the power draw in watts for all of your fans and anything not listed in the speccy. and add that to the 500W of your primary components. if it goes over 650W then you will need a larger psu.
>>52291451

i really hate that they use food for captchas. im getting really fucking hungry.
>>52291623
So it's never supposed to reach 4? makes somehow sense.
If it said "index < 6" and below "index += 5" it would make sense not to do it twice because it would be far over the 6.
I just want confirmation, that's all.
>>52291637
or you could try shifting it to where its not on its side. even if you have to take it out of the case. or lining the outside with some sort of sound dampening stuff. even duct tape would work to prevent it from vibrating against the case.
I have a stock Dell Inspiron 570. Would the 300w PSU allow me to add a GT 630?
>>52291620
>>52291678

How would I go about getting a higher wattage psu in that case? An rma for an identical product? fine. But I doubt retailers take "I fucked up my estimated wattage" as an excuse for a return.
I've pretty much shortchanged myself then without knowing it.

It changes to "False" before adding +2 right? So index 0 should be False?

my university is using 2 different internet networks
the first one is pretty safe, you have to install a certification and use 2 passwords
the other one is like a wi-fi in a shoping mal, everybody can connect, but then you have login (of course with uni account) to use it outside of the university website, its mostly used for guests, but it is more used then the first on because students are too lazy to use the safe version
well, the IT guys recommend every semester that everybody should you use the first network because it is not encrypted, they say that other people could read all your activities

I'd recommend either learning some more C++ and then going through the various solutions equipped with the sort of knowledge that's gonna make it relatively easy to determine whether a given engine suits your needs and tastes or not or, even better, coding your own (2D stuff is realistically doable even for a beginner without a lot of mathematical experience). Even if it winds up being shit in the end you'll learn a ton in the process of putting it together which is going to make you an objectively better programmer - plus, it very well might be a lot of fun.
Other people might have different opinions on this subject though. It's a lot like handgun calibers; there's a few which are objectively unsuitable for anything other than fucking around at the range but beyond those you're best off ignoring the Sunni-Shi'ite-bullshit-tier cartridge cultists and just pick whatever the fuck you're comfortable with (or, in programming terms: stick to basic best practice, anything beyond depends on your personal tastes and situation).

Any sysadmins here? Looking for advice.
I want to rent a dedicated server and use it to host a personal website. I also want to use it as off-site backup storage, ownCloud, audio/video streaming, game server maybe, VPN tunnel, basically anything.
So how do I go about it? I just sign up for some hosting company, get root access to an entire machine on one of their racks and then install the stuff I want to run? It seems simple and it feels like I'm overlooking stuff. For one, how do I make sure the server is secure and won't spontaneously turn into a CP botnet?
Picture somewhat related. I'm familiar with Linux, understand concepts listed in the senior class. I'm a programmer and I can automate things easily. Thing is I have no idea how to "manage services".

Hey /g/ I have an i5 4690k with a stock cooler.

have you tried to measure exactly what you can and cant fit into your case?
People tell me to stay away from gaming headsets.
Is It possible to use a headset and separate mic like people keep telling me on ps4/xbone ???
>>52293078
im using firefox and im on a regular PC i refuse to use chrome its garbage that doesnt download things properly
>>52292930
Well it's possible. The previous one started doing this when I started running more recent titles. I honestly thought it was just dying so I went for a new model.
So both units doing the same thing; points to a similar issue. Just did the calculations. Was coming up roughly around 500w
>>52293083
I can't be assed to take off my case lid and use a ruler, but I had to pry off some of the fence things on a lid so I could fit in my MSI 970, just to give you an idea.
Here's my case.
>>52293138
but having said that it shouldn't be straining the unit.
And what would re situating do? I'm not sure rubber padding would fix the noise if it's the unit straining or dying

What's the best program to test HDs? I only found bootables that are branded, windows-based tools are horrible as windows dies before you can even start the fucking scan program and I want something that can, at the very least, deal with HDs with bad blocks.
>>52291777
does no one still use foobar?
there's gotta be someone who has an answer to this...
>>52289838
>>52289838
This is because GPUs normally have a very big storage space for data and therefore don't need that high frequencies.
>>52291776
>>52290631
Just tried installing flash for my system, and for Chromium. Still doesn't work.

Is it still pretty dumb to overspend on a graphics card even if it's within your budget?
>>52293476
Never overspend man, always look for the best deals and treat yourself to pizza afterwards. You'll regret not having the extra money down the road.
I'm almost done with my first build. How many cables do i put into my video card? It's not obvious, and i dont want to ruin it.
Maybe not a stupid question but definitely doesn't deserve its own thread.
If I make a backup of the NAND, re-format the NAND and then try to restore said NAND at a later point, will it let me? Or will it fail because the content is completely different?

will EVGA's ACX 2.0 cooler for the titan X fit my reference 980?
I think if I do some cutting it will, but I'm not sure.

I think im all done, but what with this 3 pin in the center? I have no more cables to plug into it

>>52294167
beepcodes?
>>52294134
root is the privilege and sudo is the group. I'm a little more used to it being set up in a different way, (using the sudoers folder) but the name of the game is to add your user(s) to the group admin. I hope that kinda helps
>>52293904
Try copying the line and replace "root" with your username?
>>52294127root@dhcppc8:/etc/sudoers.d# adduser myname sudo
The user `myname' is already a member of `sudo'.

exit

what kind of beeps does the mobo make during posts? you can look up what they mean in the manual
>>52294181
you need to login again to make the new group work.
>>52293099
Why would you use a headset and a separate mic? The point of having a separate mic is that you can use decent headphones instead of the headset.
>>52294194
it worked.
thank you and the other anons who've helped
>>52294177

It doesn't beep, but it does have a number code which means "Early CPU initialization"
I don't know what that means

I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I read this. Not sure why.
>>52294246
did you plug in the motherboard speaker for the beepcodes?
reset cmos and try again.
then reset again and remove all but one stick of RAM
then again with only the other stick in.
>>52294284
What's the safest way to reset the cmos, that sounds like an easy way to get permanently fucked over.
>>52294318
read your motherboards manual.
all it does is clear bios settings.
is it necessary to have pip3 to make a virtual environment for python 3? i use Slackware, and there is no slackbuild for pip3, and i have little confidence in building from source... i just want the environment to make python 3 run with bpython, while still retaining use of bpython with previous python iterations.
Every time I plug in my external drive it says I should scan it for errors and i usually ignore. If I scan are there any chances i can lose my data?

My dad was having phone issues, so we called an engineer. While he was here, he checked our internet and installed a 6db attenuator. My dad is an overly suspicious idiot and because the second the engineer left, my dad ran speed test and was getting slightly below average speeds, he immediately suspected the engineer of foul play and took the attenuator off (I've since run speed test several times to get an average, and it seems fine).
I checked the router status and the dbmv is around 10-12dbmv. I know the ideal is supposed to be 0, but am I within an acceptable range, and what does a dbmv value much higher or lower than 0 actually affect?

I already have one FTW GTX 950 that I received from a friend.
Now I have a 1440p monitor and now have a $250 Amazon giftcard.
Do I buy another GTX 950 FTW and SLI plus get a nice headset?
Or do I buy a GTX 980 FTW for $600 - $250 giftcard - $150 on ebay for the 950.
So, 950 SLI for free plus headset for 1440p gaming OR
980 K|ngp|n for a cost of $200 out of pocket?
>>52294677
Sorry didnt mean 980 FTW meant KingPin its the only one id consider.
>>52294677
i would go for the 980. but you only need the kingpin version if you are going for a custom watercooling loop
Could anyone guess at how an "auto on/off" feature might function?
I'm trying to see if I could realistically open up my bass speaker and disable it (preferably without burning my house down.)
I figure it's gotta have a sensor to detect incoming signals, and also a timer to know when to shut off.
In theory, it was probably a great idea, but god damn, I don't need my technology turning itself off. My bluray player doesn't fucking 'guess' when I'm done watching a film.
>>52294697
Thanks, I was hoping to try for the best air OC I could.
I know GTX 950 SLI is autistic for 1440p or even at all but I had to ask haha

Of course not when I used it. I dont know what his problem is which is why it sort of blindsided me.
Told him that extortion of a refund with a threat of negative feedback is a bannable offense(and you loose your right to buyer protection) and he apologized immediately.
Fucking idiot.
How do I install the tewi font?
New to arch loonix since I installed it a few days ago, and loonix in general. (I have used ubuntu before, but that's as easy to use as windows.)
I used "yaourt tewi", but even after using fc-cache and exiting x and restarting it still won't show.
>>52295031
Yup, scammers or buyers remorse faggots get a really long lease these days.
they have up to 6 FUCKING MONTHS to file an item not as described case.
Has one kike from New fucking zeland contact me about a R9 270 I sold him almost 6 months ago saying that it was artifact and unstable.
I told him that I cant do anything and provide no warranty and that if he wanted to challenge me he was more than welcome, I knew id win since he admitted that it arrived in great shape and said he had been running it highly overclocked.
I mean, you woudlnt expect someone on craigslist to bitch after using an item for 6 months... so why ebay?

Sounds like he has a bad power supply.

What video card should I get to play dirt rally at 2560x1080 at playable FPS.
Would be paired with an I3-2120
>>52295226

SHIT wrong post
>>52295121
>>52295235
>dirt rally
7970/280x,R9 290, GTX 970, 980.
Id go with pretty much any card that has 3gb of VRAM or higher.
/g/, it seems that I fucked up for good.
I just wanted to do good, I just wanted to make everything a little bit better.
I tried replacing the thermal paste of my 660ti and I thought that I did a decent job (thin layer, tried to put everything as precise as possible together, yaddayadda) but ever since my PC suddenly lags as shit when playing WoW for a few min, then 120fps again and after some time again. My sound interface also seem to stop working at the same time.
I recognized that it happens frequently when I play music in background and then switch from browser to game (which is windowed, but it happens in fullscreen too). The sound also seem to work again when I unplug the interface and plug it in again but only for a short time.
The gpu driver rarely crashes too.
Temps are ok, newest driver and i tried test the card with furmark but this doesn't seem to trigger this effect. I also tried to use different music player, same effect.
How bad did I fuck up anon? Do I need a new gpu?

can anyone recommend a cpu cooler for an i5 6600k in a corsair 100r case.
I don't care if it's loud, just give me the cheapest thing that isn't shit.
would be nice if I could get it off mindfactory.de

found the problem.
>>52295403
Sure it will but not by a huge amount.
If you get something lower, it might not be good enough for 2560x1440p.
Basically you either get a GPU good enough got 1440P or you dont.
A GTX 960 might be ok but get the 4gb model.
I made a partition on my SSD to install Debian.
I get "No EFI partition found". Should I ignore it?

Get 7 bro.
Pentium 3.5GHz can handle win10 and the hard drive has more than enough space for it, but I would go to win7 in my opinion.
If you like win10, go ahead, you'll be fine and all, but I like win7 so I would get that if I were in your position.

Good mic + great headphones.
You can still hear your chums with your headphones in game chat and can talk to them clearly with a standing mic.
The headsets that have both have to balance out the quality of the headphone audio and microphone components.
If you buy them separately, you get the best of both worlds

You can auction-purchase some ThinkPads from ebay for 5-10 bucks.
Just snipe the auction last hour and you're guaranteed the ThinkPad.
That should hold you down for college.
If you want a pc for gaming, do the above and oversell them on Craigslist.
Should add up pretty quick.
By oversell, I mean make it seem like a god-teir laptop to the average normie.
"4 WHOLE GIGABYTES OF RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY. You'd be crazy not to get this."
Upsell, upsell, upsell.
You'd be surprised how clueless the average normie is when they hear jargon from th"rtechy guys".
Other then that, take this guy's >>52294485
