Wondering how PCIe lanes work in this scenario -
I have an MSI Z97S Krait edition and a 4790k. This gives me 16 PCIE lanes.
I also have 2 GTX 980's running in SLI. I want to install a Samsung 950 pro NVMe SSD in the mobos M.2 slot. Since the GPUs are already running in 8x8, will adding the M.2 drive cause the GPUs to run in 8x4? And further if that is this case, would such cause a loss of GPU performance.
Is there a practical reason why you would turn off a computer to change a monitor?
I recently started working with an IT company, and on the second day, I was sent with a co-worker to change out monitors for a company. He insisted on turning off the computers to change each monitor, and I didn't really think much of it, until I realized each computer was using a slow-ass encrypted hard drive, which turned rebooting computers into a 10 minute process.
After about my second monitor, I saw no need to turn off the computer, and ended up switching out monitors in half the time.
I know it's probably not the 'proper' way of doing IT work, but my co-worker insisted on wasting time for both companies. Especially considering he claimed to have an A+ cert, I can't tell if he was just milking the company for labor, or if he's just dumb.
>Bragging about having an A+ cert
That's like bragging about having a high school diploma......

>Steve-o decided it was cooler to say "app" instead of program or application or software and all faggots followed.
wrong namefag...
more technically, any working code is a program, an application is the bundled (often executable) package. since most mobile apps are small (or truncated versions of desktop applications) 'app' is the appropriate and figurative and literal shortening (or truncated version) of 'application'.
>>53653257
When using HDMI it's a good idea to turn off the monitor and the computer, because there's a charge in the cable that can cause damage to both. It almost never happens tho. I'm not aware if this is an issue using other cable types.
>>53653299
I stand corrected.
>>53653299
I always sort of associated the word 'app' with 'applet', which is a small, specialized program.
Nowadays, 'app' is a generalized term, and while it might have once been valid to sperg on the semantics, anyone doing so nowadays is just asking for social repercussions.
By the way, is Intel's SSD caching still a valid technology for large hard drives?

I'm trying to get PHP to work locally.
I've installed XAMPP and thought it would be as easy as pointing my web browser towards my "htdocs" folder which is on my E:\ drive.
For some reason though "localhost" points to another folder on my C:\ drive.
I tried putting my PHP in that folder too but it won't load.
I'm sure it's something really simple that I'm missing.
Is there a way, and if so how, to make windows 8.1 selectively wake sleeping drives?
Example of what I mean. I put windows to sleep, go to wake it up, even though only the OS drive is required, it boots all 4 drives. Not a cold boot, but from sleep where there's no need to check the drives.
Another example. Let's say I have drives A, B, C, and D. I do work on A and B and throw a couple files in the trash, eventually C and D are put to sleep. I then go to empty the trash and windows wakes drives C and D, despite being empty.
I want it to stop doing that.

wow, baffled at your concession. not typical on the chans. much respect for this.
Copying this from earlier thread
I'm on a modified dell t1650 (500W EA-500 Bronze, GTX 960, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB HDD + 2 SSDs).
After shutting down my computer, I tried to turn on my computer only to find the amber LED blinking in the power button. It is a series of two beeps, a pause, and another two beeps. According to the owner's manual, this means "system board failure, PSU or PSU cabling failure". I did the paperclip test on my PSU, and it's working just fine. Do I need to buy a new motherboard? The ethernet cable LED is working, I'm not sure if that's an indicator or not. Also yes, I cleared the CMOS

So they can be longer when you stretch them out when needed but at the same time compact when not stretched.

>>53653647
yeah man. you need a new board. unless you have a 500x magnifier and know where to look and can repair the burnt out part. if you can even find it.
>>53653696
Do you think I'll have to replace my CPU too?
>>53653686
yeah i know why the phone had it. but why is it seemingly the ONLY thing that had coiled cords?
>>53653649
You can put that list into JDownloader I'm not sure how to use Youtube-dl though.
>>53653696
prolly not. but maybe. can't know without being hands on with it. try new board first. usually cheaper than new cpu
>>53653715
I've had keyboards with coiled cable
>>53653748
why did coiled cords die then?
seems handy to stretch when needed, retract when nested.

>never regretted any mid-to-high level lenovo products. just my personal opinion
>>53653236
The M.2 slot will use a PCIe1X connection to the chipset. It won't interfere with the GPU's, however NVMe is a waste, because it's only 1X, not 2X, which will bottleneck NVMe speeds.
NVMe is designed for use with skylake, which has waaaaay more peripheral PCIe lanes.
>>53653610
I've never found a way to do this.
>>53653915
Thank you.

Reseat everything. Check to see if the board is being grounded out anywhere by cables/chassis.

At least I'm not alone in this...
I just bought an R9 390 and I was updating my drivers. Raptr or whatever it's called says they're up to date at 15.12.xxx but it seems there's a hotfix that's 16.xxx. I need the hotfix, right? It just seems weird the control panel says I was up to date.

I want to convert a .wav audio file to a .webm file so that I can upload it to the 4chins.
However this isn't easy since webm has a video & audio stream, whereas my .wav file is simply a sound stream.

Its just surge protection, it wont boost any signals, only degrade them.
would it be a bad idea to get this motherboard if i only have an i5-4460 and a single GPU?
not sure if i should get it for more upgradability or just get a cheaper one.

Some retard at my university is clearly stealing people's songs and I want to call him out

google now on your android. press the button and hold phone toward music. it should identify the song.
Posted this last thread, the anon helping me went to bed, maybe he'll see this. I've got no signal on any monitor I use, I've swapped gpu's Ive used integrated graphics, I've booted with and without ssd and no signal on any monitor. I'm pretty sure my windows installation is okay because when the harddrive is in I can hear Windows start up sounds through my speakers, and without harddrive it Post's because I can hear the CPU fan speeds increase, I've tried everything I can think of, reseating.. Different components. And still nothing

>>53655510
go search sourceforge, pleb
use the tool, or don't idgaf
>>53654646
Yes it does. The bracket is just super obnoxious to install / get in place. Make sure you're using the right screws, too.
>>53655407
Just get an mATX board. SLI isn't worth it and you'll save some money. Further if you stick with a non K CPU, get an H81/85 chipset and save even more money.
>>53655525
Yeah, turns out I didn't read the instructions and started putting it on. I also blame the youtube videos where they don't have 2 different brackets to install and weird screws.
Thanks for your help though.
>>53655407
By the time you'd feel the need to upgrade your CPU it would be more cost effective to just move to a new motherboard.
>>53655544
i already have an mATX but i'm planning to get an ATX motherboard.
that motherboard was $180 (CAD), should i go with this one for $125 instead?
>>53655668
Why do you need more PCIe slots.
Why do you need more SATA ports.
Why do you need Z97 on a non K CPU.
What is your current board not doing that a new one will?
>>53655725
more PCIe slots incase i decide to get multiple GPU's in the future
my current motherboard only has 2 SATA 3 and 2 SATA 2 ports, so i already have to use one of the slower ports
incase i upgrade to a K cpu eventually
current mobo is mATX so it looks weird in my full ATX case, and it doesn't have USB 3.0 headers so the front USB ports on my case are useless.
>installed arch on a lenovo
>figure I can save a few bucks by installing ubuntu on a dell myself
what a mistake
naturally dell has a bunch of proprietary shit that the main distro from canonical is missing

have I gone senile or something? Why is life so hard?
Is there a website to vouch for other websites?
I'm interested in downloading an apk file from freewarelovers website, but I don't know much about them.
So if I just wanted to stream games and not worry about single core performance too much, is there any reason I shouldn't buy an 8320e?
Current processor is a 750K, I get that I'm not paying for a faster CPU, just getting twice the cores basically.
As a skylake i5 6500 would cost $100 more, and for game streaming I doubt it would do much better
I should also say that I'm buying a 16gb kit of RAM in either case, otherwise the 8320e would be about $150 cheaper
>>53656143
there are cheaper space heaters.
>>53656170
but the 8320E only has a 95W TDP
>>53656248
must not be a very good space heater then
30 bucks can get you a 700W space heater at a major retailer
>>53655281
very likely. If not, check the key for boot options at startup (90% of the time is the F12 key)
Also, consider less retarded versions of Windows or free software.
>>53655497
try different ports and different cables.

I have tried both dvi slots on each GPU both of which I can confirm are working, the HDMI port with a different monitor on one GPU and the dvi and HDMI input on my mobo with an ssd connected and without
>>53655944
just install the OS you want and add firmware later. Consider Debian + nonfree firmware if you want to stay in the libre scene without losing features.
i have windows 8.1 and am going to get windows 10.
i used to just have one 1tb HDD that was almost full, but i just got another 1tb HDD and figured i should use it as a backup for my other HDD incase something goes wrong while upgrading. how do i do that? i've never made a full backup before.
if it upgrades without issues i'll just empty the backup drive and use it as a normal drive.

I am just hoping I don't spend 80% of my time with the laptop constantly fixing things like I was with arch
I never did figure out why the audio on that arch box only worked every other reboot (literally every other reboot too... I got in the habit of rebooting twice)
>>53656305
I'm afraid your motherboard is broken. If your OS boots, you tried every cable/port/gpu/igp and still you get no image that's the only option left. Maybe clearing CMOS will fix it, if not, try paid tech support or buy a new mobo.
>>53656357

>http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html
I'm a very strong advocate of free software but I think, especially after having heard him speak in person, Stallman is nuts
Some poor kid in the audience, after donating money to the FSF, accidentally called GNU + Linux "Open Source." We sat in stunned silence as Stallman railed on the kid for several minutes.
Also I find the copyleft nature of the GPL very worrisome. I believe that truly giving people (not just software) freedom means willing to accept that the users of software may choose to do unethical things with the software.
Why do manufacturers sell 4GB GTX 960s? Isn't it just a placebo?

How exactly do I associate a irc client with links through chrome. Its this way on my laptop but not on my desktop. Whats worse is when I was trying I got some thing called irc lc and now I cant remove that.
>>53656526
It's useful for higher resolution textures and details, which has nothing to do with clock speed or memory speed. For example, you can't use the highest texture pack for Hitman with a 2gb card, but a 4gb card can.
It's not placebo.
Trying to pass a value between two forms.
I'm doing an atm simulation for school.
I've got the value in one form, but sending it to another seems to be a bit of an issue.

>>53656712
Grand Theft Auto V would be a game that could, since it will let you pick how much VRAM you use.
>>53656716
well I found how to get rid of it. But how exactly do I use chrome handlers
>>53656727
where did you define strBalance?
>>53656767
Here. Top of the checkBalance form.
>>53656779
that means strBalance only exists inside the checkBalance method.
The click method has no idea bout its existence.
>>53656730
yeah, but by the time you were using all 4gb on a 960 the card wouldn't be powerful enough to get a decent framerate.
>>53656792
Oh sorry I only stuck that in there to try and solve the error.
My error is I can't define the string in the checkBalance method and call it to switch forms.
>>53656809
your constructor (checkBalance(string strBalance)) wants a string as parameter.
so you need to call it withnew checkBalance("some string")
or using variablesvar myString = "hello world";
var pass = new checkBalance(myString);

I've got a pirated MS Office 2016 installed. When I create new .xls file with right-click > new > microsoft excel worksheet, the order of the columns is going from right to left, ie. column A is on the rightmost side and vertical scrollbar is on the left side.
How do I change it to LTR order permanently? Right now I can change it in options but whenever I create new .xls file with the above-mentioned way, it's always back to RTL order.
I've tried googling and found this http://superuser.com/questions/378111/how-to-set-the-default-page-layout-from-rtl-to-ltr-in-excel-2010 which looked promising, but ultimately it didn't work for me at all.
I can circumvent this by opening excel with ctrl+R, which opens new blank file with LTR order. It's a tiny bit less convenient though, but in case nobody has a solution, I'll go with this way.

There are many ways of screen sharing over LAN, how practical this is for your use depends on just how latency sensitive it is
You could stream a screen capture using ffmpeg for example

I want a new phone but not spend more then 300 bucks.
My Mouse is starting to fuck up. Sometimes when I hold down click it'll "let go" and re-click without me taking the finger off the button.
It's annoying. Like trying to drag an icon across my desktop only for it to get dropped half-way through and the mouse to start dragging a selection box over the desktop, without me letting off the click button.
Is there a way to fix this without replacing it? I already had this fucker replaced with it's warranty and then this started up again. I can't handle going another week without a mouse again and I'm too broke to get a better one.

Thanks for your input, i have found this program 'ScreenTask' Which hosts the image over LAN. Now I can grab it through a simple 'http://192.168.1.2:7070/ScreenTask.jpg' command.
This solution will hopefully scale even better as I can have multiple hosted images all from different IP addresses.

I can send free SMSs to card A, while she can only send free SMSs from card B.
Is there any way for me to keep the whole conversation in a single thread? I was hoping that having both numbers associated to the same contact would help, but the conversation is still split between two threads.

by the way, sorry for responding to you again here, but in the end I'm just gonna put the HDD back in the laptop, anyway, cause it'd just gather dust if left outside it, y'know.... and the space from the missing HDD would gather dust too unless I put the cover on it, and I wouldn't trust the cover's not being lost unless I screwed it in place, but at that point I may as wel put the dead HDD back in...
it's just altogether way too awkward in hindsight to keep the HDD out of the laptop, unless I was getting the replacement HDD in hours or smth, but it's coming in a few days, so...
>>53657343
You'd have to upgrade eventually (new shit not supporting w8.1) and it does have some good features.

Sqt problems sometimes amaze me...
Why isn't my PC turning off anymore? I choose the turn off option, but it restarts instead. Right before it shuts, a windows appears saying thatthere are still some tasks running, but it doesn't show what program is still running.
Quick question, Do I have to use a molex connector from my power supply or can I just connect my fans to the mother board with the 4-pin connector?
KeePass vs. KeePassX? (I'm on Windows though.)

Why?
>>53658567
I had the same problem. I fixed it by wiping and then restoring from a backup.
My question: Funtoo or Gentoo? What's the real difference?
Yo guys, someone once told me about a mouse guide. It's like a google docs spreadsheet I think, that shows a list of mice with flawless sensors, and information such as their dimensions and stuff. Can't remember what it was.
It was "someone's something something mouse guide". Anyone know?
>>53658569
Anyone?

Never mind, found it. It's highlander's flawless mice.

Hey buddy , you still here?
Its me,anon.Sorry I'm late today.
Did you check with a different psu?
Did you reset cmos?
Did you try with a different ram?
If you need any help with your manual,just ask me. I like reading manuals.
>>53658569
>>53658697
I don't understand your question properly, can you repeat preferably with some images?
Which fans?cpu cooler or case fans?
What kind of connector do the case fans have?
What mobo?
In general,yes you can connect fans directly to mobo instead of power supply,if the connector is compatible.
>>53658705
Uhm. Same with KeePassX I guess.
>>53658511
What do you mean?
Do you think I should open a new thread or are you just saying that this is a weird question?

I mean these types of questions are not seen everday,and technology questions interest me,so I find these questions amazing.
You don't need to open a new thread.
Theoretically, an app can be made that solves your problem. Does something like that exists,that I don't know.
>>53658248
I'm not understanding it.
Two people, one phone, two sim cards?
You are texting your girlfriend on the same phone using a different number?
Might want to not use SMS at all and use something like hangouts instead.
Is there any reason for me not to get a 1440p monitor? I'm using a single 390, that'll be plenty, right?
Is the difference in price worth getting IPS over TN? Will I, a casual gamer at most, notice any difference?
Alright /g/, I've recently come across a lost-n-found claim laptop with an Nvidia Quadro 4000m in it. I've read that elsewhere people have been able to customize drivers to work better with games (I have no real use for the workstation capabilities), but I can't seem to find any information on customizing the drivers under Linux. Is this possible? Fair warning- I'm not a Linux expert by any means.
>>53658933
That's my backup plan.
She now has unlimited traffic for most messaging apps (because fuck net neutrality) and I have wi-fi most of the time anyway.
I'm just curious if I can do this (I have a lot of friends that also have a similar Dual SIM setup).

mobo; gigabyte z170xp-sli
The fans I was talking about were the preinstalled case fans. The fans have molex connector and a 3-pin connector. But I fixed my issue with the.
The problem I'm having atm is that my computer is running but I don't get any video. Btw I haven't connected my gpu up yet because I think my mobo have an inbuilt gpu...?
Sorry for the late reply, I just went ahead and tested the fan stuff out and tried to see if my parts are working so far.
>>53658995
Do you have a fan controller?
Thats for the molex.3/4 pin goes on the motherboard.
>no video
Can you get in to the bios, of is it part of the init that you're getting stuck
>>53658995
If your case fans have both molex and 3 pin connector, I would recommend connecting them to psu not mobo.
And yes ,your mobo has integrated graphics.
>>53659024
Yeah I have a fan controller.
Yeah, the 3-pin fan connector goes straight to the mobo. I looked at some videos. Thanks for the tip though.
>Can you get in to the bios, of is it part of the init that you're getting stuck
Absolutely nothing comes. I turn on the monitor and it does the usually monitor turn on thing and then says "No video input". My computer also just keeps on turning on and off in short intervals.

I wiped my PC within Windows a few times and one of the times I did a full wipe which says it can take a couple of hours. It all got done, but now my PC runs stupidly slow and can barely handle the simplest of tasks. Any ideas?
>>53659071
specs?
temperatures?
>>53659057
Why not the mobo?
>And yes, your mobo has integrated graphics
I was just going to check that, thanks. But I dont get any video for some reason. I connected my pc to the monitor with an hdmi from the xbone cause I don't have one in spare right now, but I'm going to get it after this long weekend.

*Install Gentoo
I want to pirate a fresh install of Windows 10.
How would I go about this?
Should I install the official iso and use an activator? If so, which activator?
Or should I upgrade from an 'activated' version of windows 7? Is this still possible?
>>53659086
I kept saying PC but it's a Laptop with an i5=6200U
Nothing seems off in task manager except Edge taking about aa gig of RAM with 6 tabs and McAffee which I just haven't got round to removing yet
>>53658968
The difference between IPS and TN is color quality, and viewing angles advantage, where the IPS is better of course, but that's not important for gaming. TN does usually have much better response times, which is important for gaming, but some 1440p IPS monitors have great response times as well.
If you have the money, get an IPS.
>>53658933
>>53658977
Also, that would require me to have mobile data always on.
This guy here >>53659088
>>53659057
>>53659024
Do you guys think my cpu and/or ram is fucked? Because my fans that are connected to my mobo are working fine and I also get lights in the on/off switch, so that means the psu and mobo are ok. Right?
>>53659193
Does anyone know what's going on? I'm freaking the fuck out over here.
I'm having troubles with the ruizu x02 not playing select flac files. I had just transferred some flac files to the player and it said that the file format was not supported and it wouldn't play them. I haven't gotten the chance to experiment with it but I believe if I convert to mp3 files it works. Why does this happen if the ruizu x02 supports flac files?
>>53659136

The only odd thing I do see is that it's claiming around 50% of Memory is in use when going into "Users" only shows 1GB in use whilst going into the Performance tab shows 3.7GB in use
>>53659829
Oh and it says the 3.7GB is cached though I'm not sure what that means desu
A lot of my job is monotonous routine that I feel could be fairly easily automated.
How hard is it to write a script or something that accomplishes this (I could dedicate a workstation for just this):
1. Receives e-mail in Outlook
2. Outlook has .txt attachment (a comma-separated list)
3. Save attachment to Directory X
4. Company database has an import function for these .txt files, so after saving the attachment, have the workstation execute "File -> Import from File -> Select the saved attachment -> Import File"
This seems pretty mundane, but I don't actually have any clue how to do something like this? Is there a deskwork automation application I can use, where you can set the triggers and steps? If not that seems like a useful tool to exist.
>>53659853
I do things like this every day in C#.
What programming experience do you have?
>>53659853
>>53659862
Shit you could do this in Python easily. You should be able to create a program that does this without even being any good at programming as the whole thing can be done imperatively, though you will have to learn syntax.
>>53659862
>>53659886
A ton from high school/college but that was ten years ago. Mostly Java, but never anything like of that scope.
>>53659936
Are you working with an Exchange server?
I've got examples I could post of querying EWS for a mailbox's contents and getting information/attachments from the filtered emails.
I wrote a utility that sits on a server and looks for particular emails and if it finds them, it mails admins and restarts a service. Your request shouldn't be too difficult.
By querying EWS instead of your local files, the utility could be anywhere on the Active Directory domain, if you're using all that.
>>53659974
We're using Office 365.
Can you use one of those Chinese USB to DC 12V converters to power an ADSL modem? I can power my wifi router using an USB port just fine, but my modem needs at least 7.5V
>>53659998
Then you'd be parsing the data from the Office 365 APIs. There are example projects up for C# applications that you could scavenge code from for a simple command line utility.
Here's an example method for loading mail:
https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-Windows-Start/blob/master/Office365StarterProject/ViewModels/MailViewModel.cs#L228
Then you just use the mail object to filter your results and retrieve the attachment.
From there, its basic file I/O.
I'm not really sure how to help you out with this other than writing it for you, but I don't have a 365 account to test my code against, and obviously, you're not going to give some random anon on 4chan access.
tl;dr:
>It's pretty easy to do, but you need to know some C# to do it. (Also possible in other languages, I'm sure.)
Finally figured out why my Internet was so god damn slow, but I want to understand *why*. Time Warner gives me a modem box, with the little coax cable. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back. My router connects to one of those ethernet ports. I had another ethernet port on the router connected to the modem ethernet, essentially going nowhere? An infinite loop? Reset everything, and removed that loop, and everything is sooooo fast. Can anyone explain why?
>>53660123
Maybe the modem had built-in WiFi?
There were two ethernet connections between router and modem?
>>53660153
Yeah, the modem does have Wifi on it (so I'm not too sure which one I'm actually connecting too, haha), and yeah, two ethernet connections between the two. -_-
>>53660082
Thanks, this should be a good start. I don't know any C# but this should be a fun project.

How do i root my galaxy s6?
I've have a massive drop in fps while playing vidya. Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition to be specific. A few days ago it was all good but now it's gone to shit. I noticed that my gpu didn't increase in heat while having them open though. Does this mean my card is kill or is it a memory problem?
>>53660480
It could also be a PSU problem you know.
If I restart my Laptop and sometimes drop WiFi connection, will it mess with my torrents or corrupt them?
Or are they smarter than that
>>53660552
as long as you're not pulling the power plug on your laptop with a dead/no battery your torrents should be fine
>>53660552
You torrent client can verify integrity and redownload corrupt pieces for you if it's decent enough.

hi /g/
webcam problem (built in cam, alienware laptop... yeah yeah i know but its all i have right now)
lost power while i was using webcam. when i booted back up the webcam refuses to initiate. doesnt work in any cam sites (eg chatroulette), doesnt work in ManyCam etc. Yet when i use Skype it works.
ive tried updating drivers. ive tried updating flash (i dont think many cam uses flash though right?) nnothing will bring it back. i thought it was the cam, but surely it WOULDNT work on skype if it was the cam?
halp?

i play kotor 2 on offline steam at work where i have no wifi. the fucking cloud save almost never shows on my main pc even when i create a new save on the laptop when its connected to the internet, steam, have cloud save checked blah blah. is there a way to save the save file to a usb and transfer it like that so i can guarantee transfer instead of waiting an undetermined amount of hours/days?
>>53660683
nvm a restart fixed it
>>53660742
just tried a workaround by running the webcam in skype, selecting the video feed and running it through manycam, and then in Omegle selecting the Manycam feed....
didnt work, blank screen. could that give some indication of nature of the problem?

I'm pretty new to Linux, I've installed fedora 23, it's all working fine except I can't change my resolution to anything above 1074 x 728. My monitor lists as "unknown display" in display settings.

Ethernet surge protection, real or useless marketing bullshit?
I'm shopping for surge protectors and I keep seeing products with Ethernet, phone, and coaxial ports. Is there a remote possibility that these will be necessary? If that possibility occurs, will these products actually work and mitigate the damage?
I tested a cheap one that I own, and using the surge protection increased latency to the internet by roughly 1ms on average. In case you were wondering.

Yes, you can telnet to computers outside your subnet.
No, you cannot telnet to hosts with private IP addressess behind a NAT outside your local network.
