why do I get Gnome to save my settings and NOT go back to the fresh install every time I power off my machine??
Is it just me or does the basic version of the intuos have not the best tracking and also occassionally the style applies full pressure when you press softly?

Wrong 'nome, lad.
So, I want to upgrade my gaymen PC and have a budget of around 850EURO. Thing is, I don't really want to get a GPU now, will wait for Polaris/Vulcan faggotry to finally be up and running, and then jump either on NEW GEN or get something OLD GEN, but hopefully cheaper.
CPU - 6600K
Motherboard - Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4
Case - Define S
PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2
HDD/SSD I have from the old system.
CPU Cooler - 212 EVO by CM
RAM - 2x8GB Kingston Hyper X African-American.
What would be better choices here?
How do I cable manage this?
How many watts should my power supply be for r9 390 and i5 4690?

Cooler won't do you any good for real overclocking. Maybe a small boost, not much more
Also poor motherboard choice. I'd recommend MSI
>>53718242
unplug everything and reduce the length of the cable to be only as long as you need it.
like that one with the blue ribbon.
I'm using velcro cable ties for that.
>>53718242
Zip ties.
Make a PCpartpicker list with your parts.
Change HSF for a NH-U12S.
>>53718242
>PS2 to USB
>>53718242
I suggest purging it with fire.
Or you know, you could unplug everything and use cable ties to get shit in order.
>>53718256
>Also poor motherboard choice. I'd recommend MSI
Cooler is just for keeping shit cool, not much else. As for motherboard - please be more specific. What is wrong with this one and what would you recommend instead?
>>53718289
I wouldn't trust Asrock for a motherboard, simply because there are better ones on the market.

Firstable, It's USB to PS2.
It's not my fault my keyboard is USB instead of PS2, although it did come with the adaptor, so why shouldn't I use it? Do you not value USB ports?

>>53718286

Jesus fuck. This cooler costs over 60EURO + shipping. Man, this sucks major bag of dicks.
>>53718405
Look for GA-Z170XP-SLI or UD3H.
Avoid ASRock.
>>53718425
>Do you not value USB ports?
I value USB hubs, certainly not abusing those poor PS/2 ports
is an unlocked CPU worth the money for someone who doesn't plan to OC?
>>53718459
>Should I pay extra $$$ for a feature I'll never use
>>53718459
No, its the same than the locked one then.
Do you have a motherboard that lets you do OC? then get it.
You will OC eventually.
>>53718472
>>53718475
so you're telling to buy a 6500 rather than a 6600k?
>>53718073

Yes, if you wont OC there is minimum perfomance difference.
I posted last thread about an HDMI to DVI converter, and I just got it, however when I plug HDMI into my gpu and the dvi into the monitor I get no signal, is it a busted HDMI port? it looks fine
>>53718540
You should get a better HSF unless you wont OC.
>>53718615
Can you post a picture of the DVI on the monitor?
How is a fx 4300 6 core slower than a i5 4690k 4core.
>>53718656
6300*
>>53718615
Also I should ask first if the monitor is detected by your OS
>>53718656
Cores != faster. Single threading performance, and many other factors will differ the two apart
>>53718656
>>53718676
Less Cache.
Slower Cache.
Slower Cores.
Older.
6 slow cores never will win against 4 fast ones.

Also, how much RAM do I need? 8GB is enough or get 16GB?
>>53718695
8GB is enough for most stuff, i cant think of anything other than browsing in firefox without closing tabs that would need 16GB RAM.
>>53718695
8 gigs is enough
>>53718242
As people said, unplug, adjust length, plug back.
I would also recommend getting something to put stuff in like this basket thing or similar. Made it pretty easy, just stove in all the excess cable in there.

650W should be enough.
500W would work but your PSU wont last a lot.

>>53718784
Remove SV300 and get something like a 850 EVO.

>>53718830

i'm wondering about OS as well. i have a legit win7 key that i've been using with this PC. is it possible for me to download the win7 iso from microsoft using this key? and then i can install this OS on my new computer using a DVD?
>>53718836
Gps on its own does not use data,but map applications do use data to load maps.
Thats enough for today, I'm out.
>>53718874
You should have no problem.
If you do just download the original ISO from Mydigitallife and use Daz loader.
Assuming I'm using an phanteks evolv ethoo mini ITx case and don't really have the money or courage to make a custom loop what aio should I get for cooling? AMD stock cooler really are disgusting in terms of temps and most certainly noise.
>>53718874
If the legit key you have is retail,you can easily activate in new pc.
If the key came originally with pc,like oem,then not.

Hi! I just bought a new setup and I'm in quite the pickle. The onky thing I kept from my old build is the HDD.
Now, whenever I boot up, I get 2 choices, repair windows or boot as usual. The repair is unable to detect the problem and booting normally gives me a BSOD with STOP:0x0000007B.
I F8'd that mofo and booted in safe mode, but the ssme BSOD appears.
I F8 again, go into repair, but it doesn't recognize my password. After 4 failed tries, it's an automatic reboot.
What do you guys think is the problem? Did I fry my HDD?
>>53718952
Wont affect you a lot.
You do get 5-10% better perfomance but you will rarely notice it.

Hello /g/. I want to build a new gaming rig, but I don't know what processor, motherboard, and graphics card to use. I don't think I need a new PSU since I already have a 750W Seasonic one.

Sounds like whatever programs you've got running are shit.
i'm running win7 pro 64bit and had auto updates turned on until recently

Screeching sounds are usually fans. Do you get the same sound when you're working the computer hard and making the fan run?
>>53720091
Well it will be really cheap since you will reuse most stuff.
You will end getting only a CPU and motherboard.

>>53720164
But I also want a good GPU since I can't run Fallout 4 and other games at extreme settings. My current monitor is good, but since I'm trying to get a better GPU/CPU, it doesn't make sense to have a 60Hz HD monitor.
Also for some reason, my PC seems to consume a shitload of power. I think it might be because of the 8 cores on the CPU.

I'm thinking to build a rendering machine. When shopping a CPU, are there different architectures that are designed to handle specific workloads? Since rendering is very demanding and requires that power for about 30+ hours I don't want to get something that is meant for gaming and potentially ruin it faster than it could.
>>53720342
Yes. I've also tried offspins like Pale Moon, which is perfect for me, but I cannot stand the obnoxious fucking loading times and keep coming back to the Botnet.
>>53720329
the bloat is having shitty addons or old profiles that have had shitty addons
other than that, it's almost purely the placebo of chrome starting up faster (a legit problem with firefox, but none of you idiots close your browsers ever hence all the whining about memory leaks) as well as rendering pages slightly "faster" by not waiting for the near complete page before starting to display etc - a well documented psychological effect
>>53720248
>I'm gonna slowly buy all the components
That's a dumb idea. For some of them it's fine, but CPU, GPU, and mobo you need to choose and get all at once. Those are the things that have lots of compatibility issues.
How much are you ready to spend right now?
>>53720390
not really.
what programs are you using?
do you know what they benefit from?

You will see 10-20% better perfomance but thats it.
Twice performance were when they were rumored to use HBM2, they got confirmed that they will use GDDR5 again recently.
>>53720503
Not really concerned about CPU being replaced. As you said, Skylake is new so I can last with the same CPU for a while. My main concern is GPU since there seems to be upgrades quite often.
>>53720509
Go to logicalincrements.com and look at the "Exceptional" tier. Just the GPU, CPU, and mobo should come up to about $1000. It's not actually twice as fast, that's marketing bullshit. There's perfectly good hardware available right now to get the best value for your budget.
>>53720534
GPU releases happen around every 5-10 months, and still you wont replace a high tier one for years.
>>53720533
So you think I should wait, or should I get the 980 ti?
>>53720567
Up to you.
If you want just use your old GPU in your new build for a while then when you have the money just buy the new cards.
>>53720456
>what programs are you using?
Luxrender and Renderman.
>do you know what they benefit from?
What do you mean?
>more cores vs higher clock?
Since rendering is such a heave workload more cores would be better, right?
is the GPU important?
Kind of but not really. Only if I'm going to use it for rendering.
>>53720527
Not a whole lot you can do then, assuming you didn't fuck up somehow trying to update the drivers. Find out all the model information for your audio device and try to get drivers from the manufacturer's website. Failing that, try the laptop manufacturer's customer support. If that doesn't work, yeah, maybe a clean install will help, though there's a good chance it's broken hardware.
If it's broken hardware, get a cheap ass usb soundcard from Amazon and use that until you're ready to buy a new laptop.

Even when I'm using a Chrome with like 10+ extensions, it is still faster than a clean Firefox/PaleMoon.
I'm looking at them load the same pages and Chrome is faster but seconds.
Granted, I have shit internet, but it shouldn't favour one browser so heavily.
It used to be the same when Opera was good like 5 years ago.
>>53720722
Minimal but why you want a 2011 I7?
>>53720743
the PSU doesn't draw 650 watt all the time, it's just the maximum it can do.
It'll use whatever it needs.

Why Micro ATX? Have you checked whether the card and cooler will fit into that?
>>53721206
would suggest sandisk ultra 2 instead of kingston v300
also the heatsink is unnecessary
could also save like 5 bucks by buying your mouse and keyboard from walmart

Get ATX, you are going budget for a reason.

Why do some images in 4chan load slower than others, filesizes being completely irrelevant to load times and somehow opening them all at once via 4chan X making it fast.
>>53721149
Just open the script in raw mode.

Yes, what makes you think it wont?
>>53721366
You have to check whether they will FIT though. Look at the actual product dimensions and layout. High-end graphics cards and air coolers are pretty massive components, and you're getting a "Micro ATX" case.

What would be a good graphics card to get with the intel G3258 4 Pentium? I'd prefer nvidia since I plan on using linux.
>>53721301
Well, what's the better GPU to get? The R9 Fury X, or the GTX 980 Ti and what brand?
>>53721551
GTX 980Ti.
>>53721524
GTX 960.
>>53721485
>Is there a reason to switch?
yes
>Would I gain performance, customizability,...?
yes
but that doesn't mean you should switch to that shit.
a windows manager is more lightweight, so obviously you'll gain performances. About customizability, most windows manager permits you to customize most stuff on your screen unlike a DE, that usually just permits you to modify the themes and other small stuff.
So yes, there's reasons to switch.
Then it's a matter of taste. I don't like windows managers. I don't like spending hours to get everything as I want, and prefer using a DE that can be customized easily for the most basic stuff
>>53721551
if you play a lot of nvidia optimised games probably the 980 ti
the fury has a slight edge at 1440p/4k but they're mostly the same
>>53721567
But what brand? I've heard MSI is pretty good, but I'm not sure

Ok I've updated a few stuff. There should be no issues now hopefully.

Try factory resetting the router in case you fucked something up. If that don't work? *shrug* shit's broke, man. Sorry but get a new router. Anything with fa is outdated anyway.

There are a million reasons that could happen, without doing full on profiling there's no way to be sure which. Some possibilities:
>server load
>local network connectivity
>compression algorithm/level
>caching

Hi /g/
I wonder if anyone knows why some sites, such as Agar.io run worse on Firefox.
On Firefox w/ no extensions, hardware acceleration on/off frame rate is very poor on low-high settings.
Switching to IE on high settings is 60+.
This is a fresh install with graphics drivers tuned for performance.
>>53722719
Thinkpad T61
Powerful enough, even for today's standards
If you like 4:3, go for the T60
How many watts should I use for this build? I'm thinking 650W but I keep hearing people say to get higher wattage for more efficiency so the PSU lasts longer.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xGrNXL
>>53722563
Depends on whether you're using lossy or lossless.

I just got a new MSi gtx 980 and I installed the drivers, but I can't seem to get the DVI port to work. Now that is problematic because my computer screen only supports DVI, so I'm currently connected on the living room's tv set.
Any ideas why it wouldn't work? I mean, if there is a DVI port on the card, surely it supports DVI connections.
>>53722817
It shouldn't change at all, pngs are lossless, meaning whatever image data you give them is the same image data you get out. The file itself can change (e.g. the compression level, location data, etc.), but the graphics displayed will not be changed by the act of saving an image. This is unlike jpg, which will change the contents of an image, in order to make compression more efficient.
My university uses CentOS Linux systems and I've grown really fond of them over the past few years despite coming from a Windows background. I love using the terminal and making scripts. What distro would you recommend for me? I've heard a lot about Arch being very customisable but not suited to people who are relatively new to Linux.
>>53722866
try a different OS, if still no luck it's a hardware issue.

What can I use to watch blu rays on Windows 8? Every article I find on google is "Blu rays or DVDs" and then lists a bunch of software that can only play DVDs. These claim to work but don't:
VLC
GOMPlayer
PotPlayer
AnyDVD HD
Corel WinDVD
PowerDVD only works with some discs and not others.
>>53723034
I wouldn't reccommend Apple or the thinkpad's r or x series because they're hard to mess with hardware-wise (too many things are not replaceable or hard to reach, being computers designed to be as compact as possible) so if you want to learn about hardware or whatever go for the T or W series.
If you want to play only with software, then any of those initial alternatives you had are good enough. Just be aware about performance limitations and choose the one that fits your needs.

It's not that hard, but you should have a second pc and arch wiki by hand. Most chores like starting services are abstracted away by systemctl and netctl and such. Would recommend, just don't try to compile kernels.
