Someone suggested a custom Sager but that seems like complete overkill, most of the tasks I'm doing fine on a Satellite a500-13f, it's mainly an issue on portability and battery-life, which was why I considered getting a thinkpad from all the praise it got here.

Is it bad for wires to be pushing against my GPU? It is slightly tilted because of them.
>>52309178
What? How many cables do you have hanging there?
GPUs can be pretty heavy already.
The GPU itself doesn't care, but the PCIe slot might if you push it down even further.
>>52309228
I see, thank you.
I am using a mini ITX board and a small form factor case. I don't have especially much room, I had no intention to OC, and I only needed one GPU so I didn't need anything more than that.
In the case, the GPU sits right behind the PSU, and the wires coming off of the PSU come out at a particular angle that they press against the GPU and then curve upward to go where they need to go. Like so, basically. Because of where the motherboard and PSU are mounted in the case it is impossible to fit them anywhere further away from eachother.
>>52309342
are you sure you mounted the PSU correctly?
what case is it, how did others put it together?

My desktop freezes when I run two or more programs that use up a lot of my video memory say for example a videogame and youtube videos at the same time. The display just freezes and the sound buzzes in a loop. I think it has something to do with my videocard which is a 2 year old 5670 because it never happened when I was using my CPU's integrated graphics. I heard that this can happen when the card gets too hot and it looks like my card hovers at 46°C, is this too hot?
>>52309684
no, thats a normal temperature
>>52309684
might be not enough power

reboot and boot from the USB stick, check your motherboard manual for how to do that.
then click next until it's installed.

I spend $100 a month for 105 mb download in Atlanta. When I speedtest, I'm only reaching speeds of 40 mb (plugged in) and 10mb wireless, so Comcast is screwing me.

It's not about lightweight as much as good. There aren't many projects that make their own encoding software. Most use ffmpeg as a library instead of doing the work themselves. Handbrake is another good option, and instead of just using stick ffmpeg, maintains a fork, but had gone on long enough that is distinctly different now. Probably easier to start with that.
Handbrake or vanilla ffmpeg

Is there any way I can install complete (heavyweight) themes on GNU Icecat?
>>52310938
but my provider doesn't offer anything that could help me manage the data limit, actually they want me to go over the data cap so they can charge me more.
I just want to set a limit for 19 GB in 3 months, nothing more (I got 20 GB promo for 19€ to use in 3 months, if I consume all the 20 GB then they charge me 9€ for 3 GB more then they cut me off after these are gone, I want to prevent them charging me extra 9€).
>>52310945
I tried already many times but it won't let me select today, it goes month by month, is there a way to explicitly set the limit? like not guessing from the graph. Besides, when I close the settings it just resets, the limit is ignored.
>>52311038
click "ciclo utilizzo"
then on bottom something like "custom cycle", then it lets you select your cycle date.

CPU is more important than GPU for minecraft, also look into the optifine mod to make use of more CPU cores (= more FPS), i think minecraft makes use of only 1 by default
I was thinking of downsizing my computer to a SFF mATX, and one thing that prevents me from downsizing all the way to an ITX build is my capture card (Elgato HD60 Pro).
Now call me OCD, as 95% of games are unaffected by this, but wary of my main PCIe slot downclocking(?) from x16 to x8, and for most ATX motherboards, even using the furthest lane with a x1 card, will downclock it to x8.
My question is, will populating the furthest PCIe lane on most mATX motherboards downclock the main lane to x8. There doesn't seem to be much documentation for most motherboards.

Granted, I don't know the specifics, but all sound needs to be processed, whether through a microchip or a traditional tube, but the difference being is that all sound is inherently analog, ie. the wavelength continuous and not discrete 1's and 0's. So theoretically, tube amps have a better sound signature than a traditional microchip opamp.
However, that being said, tubes do 'color' the sound, so if you want accuracy, you would never use a tube amp, nor would you ever find one in a professional recording studio.
My mobo doesn't completely line up with all the standoffs on the case. Is this bad or will it steadily line up as I screw it in.

Also should I be wearing those anti static things. I see people wear them in some videos and not in some others.
>>52311357
If you properly ground yourself touching a metal part of your case, you don't necessarily need an anti static bracelet. You must keep in mind this is not a 100% fool proof and you risk damage to your parts
>>52311292
cases have multiple standoffs for different motherboard sizes.
look up your cases manual which standoffs to screw in which fits your motherboard

Hi guys, I need some advice.
I bought a 4690k, NZXT s340, and a Corsair H80i GT recently and I am looking for an ATX mobo that has to be black or at least with no red or blue coloring, around $100. Green is my favorite color so I am going to put some green LED's in the case which is why i want a mobo with no color.
I would also like it if I dont have to update the bios.
Can you guys recommend me something that fits my criteria.
Much appreciated

Is it still worth it to build an 1155 system?
I want to build a new PC, and I have an 1155 mITX board around. I'd like to buy a used 3570k and some cheap ram to give it some life.
But then I look at the current deals on the newer processors and its tempting but more expensive because I'd need to get a new mobo as well. However, that would net new features like USB 3.1, m2 sockets, PCIE 3.0
I also don't know if I could bring myself to buy the 3570k again when I sold my old PC a year ago that had the same proc in it.

The only thing(s) keeping me from going from Windows 10 to a Linux distro is these things.

Generally, I would recommend against them, coming from someone with a G600.
The inherent problem is that mice are traditionally gripped with the thumb and a combination of the ring finger and pinky. When you essentially add a full ten-key to the side of your mouse, you're essentially removing the area where you would grip with your thumb, requiring you to modify your grip. So unless you swear by your ass-backwards monkey paw grip, you're better off with a more ergonomic mouse with several buttons.
Take a look at some of Corsair's older offerings--they're an eyesore, but they're probably more ergonomically conducive.

Do I have to worry about this? I'm trying to make my 50 Hz TV register as a 60 Hz monitor because there is this game that runs all cutscenes on half your FPS, but the cutscenes are made to run on 30 FPS which is why they stutter when running at 25 FPS for me. Maybe I'm doing something entirely wrong here I don't know. There is no option to turn vsync off or anything like that, it's one of those weird japanese ports.
>>52314036
And I'm wondering why recommending a file system with known issues, when deleting files from linux machine.
>>52314060
Probably you don't, because your TV monitor will just ignore waves above wavelength of 1080p50, but there is the off chance it won't.
Don't take my word for it
>>52314058
make sure you have an up to date recovery. TWRP is best. through the recovery you can factory recent and flash different roms from storage or sdcard.

Was it stupid of me to take a programming class at a cc when I could just learn it through available resources on the internet?
>>52314254
did you learn to program?
>>52314254
you have a certificate. helps in interview
I want an introduction to yacc or bison without having to deal with over 10000 words about tokens, terminal symbols and whatever, just a example with some simplifications to make it intuitive, I'll branch from it latter once I get a hold of the basic.

spending money on lessons is a good incentive for you to actually learn something.
have you tried self teaching before?
>>52314381
You have a point.
I have tried self teaching before but I always seem to put off studying till later.

>Is ... possible in C?
Anything is possible in C
If the syntax is correct C will compile, but trying to access memory outside your program's own will usually be blocked by your OS of choice.
An interesting thing to do is load files into memory and then run that or use unassigned variables, etc.
>>52314254
I find standards and expectations are set in school whereas you have no idea where you stand in the real world of self taught knowledge
What's the easiest way to do a long range network bridge? I want to bridge the networks at my house and a sibling's house.
What is the normal procedure in a case like this?
Some guy made a pull request about 3 months ago on github, but it didn't build for various reasons. I've now got his code working and changed a few things. He hasn't been online in ages and isn't responding, it would make no sense to do a pull request to his repo. Can I add my own pull request to the main project with his now working code and the changes I've made? It would be a shame for his work to go to waste.

What's a good way to find a new power source for my PC? Trying to figure out what exactly I need for the modular power supply I'm about to buy and I don't want to order something too expensive or end up with the wrong thing. The PC was built for me as a gift and I've never built/upgraded before so I know pretty much nothing past the basic shit
Should I use Windows' built-in compression on my video drive? It's primarily in the .mkv format, so would it even be able to compress it any further?
>>52314843
no, it's already compressed as much as it can.
>>52314877
Alright, thanks. That's what I was thinking but a coworker was claiming that Windows had some magical compression bullshit that would make it even smaller.

Here's a stupid question. I live with my family and connect my computer directly to the router which is downstairs. My family members complained that the wifi sucks whenever Im home using my PC (What?) so what they did was bought another router to use upstairs where all their shit is. I will be the sole user of the router downstairs while all their devices will be connected to the one upstairs. So my question is can 2 routers even be used without fucking something up? Can I expect a better wired internet connection since there's less traffic on this router?
Is low-mid 70's a safe temp for GPUs?
>>52315593
under load, yes. idle, no.
>>52315593
Yeah
>>52315522
If your router is in in router mode and is the one connected to the internet, then yes. Otherwise, if you are behind another router, don't think about port forwarding
>>52315645
Im not familiar with networking so that went over my head. Essentially my PC is connected by ethernet cable to a router which is connected to the modem.
They're buying a router to use upstairs connected to a wall cable I suppose? Their PC will be directly connected to that and other devices will be connected to that router via wifi.

no.
How can I monitor the websites other computers on my network visit?
(Windows computers, no linux)
>>52315926
set up a proxy
it will probably be able to read everything not encrypted. try disabling https for extra nsa on your kids
>>52315926
No effective way to do this unless you get control of the router. You could install agents on each box, etc, but that's a big pain.
What program should I use (besides FRAPS) for showing FPS in my games that aren't steam games? I want something even more lightweight than FRAPS, if there is such a thing.

so, I'm working on a interpreter for arm architecture, and am using open source software for the base,
the instructions so far are "the binary image file from the download site can be uploaded to the MCU's FLASH"
does this mean, literally, just the ".bin" file with a designation for whatever board I'm using? if there were only binary files that'd be fine, but the package contains all kinds of files, like header files, and shell scripts, that I don't want to fuck it up
Will this work? Also, does the scotch tape make it heat up?
I connected it and everything and it got kinda hot, is it normal? Whats the usual hdd temperature?
I need to buy an adapter to connect to wi-fi, does anyone have a suggestion for one?
Right now I'm looking over this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TQEX7AQ since I'm trying to get something that isn't USB based due to having a bad experience with one of them. Anyone maybe have experience with this one, the brand, or maybe just know a thing or two about networking and could tell me their thoughts on it? The router in use is the Linksys EA6300.
>>52316867
My experience with it usually stands on price>10$ produced>2010 and not a chink producer
>>52316867
I haven't had problems with that brand, but avoid internal wireless cards on desktops. Wireless tech changes fast. Get two different USB adapters with different modern chips. Use whichever works well. You'll get the same performance and still save $40
If 2.5" disks reach the same speeds and storage capacity as the 3.5 ones why weren't the latter phased out completely?
>>52316766
Your HDD is running hot if it passes 45

Cost. Also, they haven't reached the same storage capacity or speeds yet. For rotational media at least.

When a computer makes a TCP or UDP connection, how does it know which source port to use? Does it just pick a large number at random?
>>52317168
Depends on the protocol
/g/ recently recc'd building your own speaker by buying a driver and following a guide:
>>52275687
Would homemade monitors perform as well as the kind audiophiles buy?
Can you simply purchase the same drivers, construct a cabinet based on guidelines, and pay a third of the cost for some effort?
If so, why don't audio engineers do this? (or do they?)
>>52317201
HTTP for example.
Let's say I send a GET request to some server on port 80. How does the computer decide which source port to use for the server to send the data back to.

>How does it avoid collisions with others on the network?
In what sense would a collision happen? The return address still has a return IP layer three
It picks the port randomly (if it's not in use) I'm trying to remember what random method it uses to do so.
>>52317335
Specifically in networks that use NAT
