Is there a reason to buy the R9 380X (1.02GHz, GDDR5 4GB, 190 Watts, 240€) over the R7 370 (1.02GHz, GDDR5 4GB, 120 Watts,170€)?
Also the GeForce GTX 960 would be about 200€ and have a better Clock Speed.
Basically pic related is the parts I was thinking about to get.
But I'm also not sure about the MoBo. Should I stick to a more expensive H170 Board (or a Z170 with the same price?) or go with the cheaper B150. The B150 does what I need, but it's a microATX instead of an ATX. Could that be a problem considering space and maybe warm air management?
If I don't intend overclocking is the i5-6500 still more recommended than the i3-6100 for let's say playing Arma3?
Regarding the PSU my question is, if it says the estimated Watts is below 300W, would I be good with a 430W PSU? Or do I need at least 500W?
I know it's a lot of stupid questions. I'd appreciate any help on improving this.

1)u can never have too much power for PSU
2)380X is better than 960 and 370, so if u want for gaming, then yeah sure, if for shitposting and browsing web then stick with 370
While you can always spare wattage, what's not used is pretty much wasted. Get one that suits your energy draw plus some headroom without going completely overboard
Like, if you draw 400 watts, get a 550w 80plus psu. At least thats how I do it.
what should I do with an android netbook?

is there anything suspicious about this pc because it looks too good to be true? bearing in mind the graphics card costs half of the price when new
>>53859045
I guess main use will be browsing and shitposting. Most demanding game would be Arma3 I guess. Would that run on medium or high settings with an i5-6500 + r7 370 at reasonable fps?
>>53859140
More than 1080p is not my plan. Wouldn't the 2GB GDDR5 be not enough for Arma3?
>>53859085
Thank you. Then it's better to get a 500W PSU instead of a 430W PSU for an estimated Wattage of 300W?

>Is there a reason to buy the R9 380X (1.02GHz, GDDR5 4GB, 190 Watts, 240€) over the R7 370 (1.02GHz, GDDR5 4GB, 120 Watts,170€)?
the 380X is much faster
>Also the GeForce GTX 960 would be about 200€ and have a better Clock Speed.
clock speed is not the only thing that determines how good a graphics card is
>Should I stick to a more expensive H170 Board (or a Z170 with the same price?) or go with the cheaper B150
cheaper B150
>The B150 does what I need, but it's a microATX instead of an ATX. Could that be a problem considering space and maybe warm air management?
if you get an ATX mid tower it doesnt matter because mATX is smaller motherboard than ATX so it will fit.
and it makes no difference for heat.
>If I don't intend overclocking is the i5-6500 still more recommended than the i3-6100 for let's say playing Arma3?
yes. very much yes.
>would I be good with a 430W PSU? Or do I need at least 500W?
yea but you should get at least 500W in case you ever want to upgrade. plus there's really no price difference between a 430W and a 520W unit.
Thinking of selling my i5-2500k and upgrading for incoming VR, what should I get? Will only be playing games on it, selling both my mobo (asus p8 z68V) and cpu.
>>53859229
medium yes. need a R9 380 to play it on high
also there is no reason to choose a Z170 motherboard if you are not going to overclock (neither the i5 or the i3 you mentioned can overclock) so it's just a waste of money, and your budget does not allow overclocking anyway.
>>53859229
>Wouldn't the 2GB GDDR5 be not enough for Arma3?
no, textures need more VRAM. get at least 4GB VRAM on the GPU.
>Then it's better to get a 500W PSU instead of a 430W PSU for an estimated Wattage of 300W?
yes.
>>53859270
>>53859295
Thanks for the answer. I shall go with the R9 380X then. Can you explain me what makes it faster than the ones with the same stats?

Don't do this
>>53859229
The price for more memory is not that significant. You can find ways to use it later (i.e. light video rendering/editing/3D modeling etc.)
You can play Arma3 on 1440p on Ultra Quality just fine even with a gtx 690 (pic related). It will probably lead to some tearing in fact if you use a 60Hz monitor on 1080. Not sure if the game and your monitor have G-sync/FreeSync but put your monitor on 75Hz in any case. Anyway get something newer for better performance and longevity down the line. A 380X should do great. Not sure if you can overclock a 380 but if you can, definitely get it over the 780.
>>53859009
Regarding power supply, the 380 consumes 190Watts, depending on your CPU (probably 60-75W) you'll need some 300Watts minimum. For a single GPU system you'll be fine with 450 (be sure to get a GOOD, RELIABLE PSU -- don't skimp on the PSU it's possibly THE MOST important component in your build). A Gold certified PSU will save you money in the long run. Anywho like I was saying, if you have optical drives/a couple of HDDs, a bunch of fans/USB devices/or plan to have a CF/aftermarket CPU cooler/water cooling eventually/etc, it's a good idea to get a 500-550W PSU especially if you might overclock something eventually. A 450W would do but I'm not sure how it would fare if you want to overclock something but there are online calculators that can help you with that. You might be able to pull off a CF with a 550W psu eventually if you'd rather spend another $200 for another 380X eventually instead of buying a new card for more but you wouldn't have room for overclocking or much else at all. But it'll manage.
tl;dr if you want a single GPU system a 450W PSU is fine. If you plan to eventually have a CF or watercooling etc. a 550W+ PSU is a better investment. You can play Arma3 on ultra quality settings just fine on all the cards you're considering. Don't get something with 2GB of VRAM.
>>53859356
>The price for more memory is not that significant. You can find ways to use it later
it's VRAM. anything under 4GB for a game made in the last 2 years is gonna struggle with high settings and will get raped by upcoming games.
>>53859405
> will get raped by upcoming games.
Exactly. I was suggesting he get something with more VRAM than a 2gb 780ti/960. The game he wants to play has very low requirements but getting an old card with little VRAM will like you said struggle quite a bit with newer games. He'll be forced to buy a new card or have buyer's remorse when he can't properly play a new game the way he wants to. Besides that, he might explore some hobbies and use the additional VRAM and processing power for things like video editing/3D modeling. Getting a cheap, relatively new card makes more sense.

>>53859405
Thanks for the great input. So I feel like I should go with the H170 MoBo for CF capability and a R7 370 4GB and then go for CF if needed in future.
I guess for the PSU I should go with a 600W 80+ Bronze? Would that be reliable and good enough? I thought about this one: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-power-supply-st60fesb

After spending an hour trying to calibrate and position a cheap subwoofer/speaker set (an SBS A250) that doesn't have any knobs to control the subwoofer strength, I managed to get the sound I want by literally shoving a piece of tissue paper into the subwoofer opening at the front (the hole at the front of pic related).

Is there any money to be made still in IT work with just an A+?
>>53859563
Ik heb laatst wat spul gehaald bij remarkt.nl, ze verkopen refurbished computers voor enorm lage prijzen. Ik had laatst voor 15 eu een pc gehaald die ik als FTP server gebruik. single core, maar 2 GB memory en relatief traag, maar meer dan voldoende voor een simpele ftp server. Als je een honderdje of anderhalf te besteden hebt kan je wss al een refurbished pc krijgen met een i5 of zo
>>53859665

>>53859684
There are still revolutions to be had and great software to be developed, but to be honest it's looking more and more like a bubble that could collapse at any time. People are paying far too much for simple software, but because supply is always lagging behind the prices are high.
Imo you can still get rich off IT, but you'll need some creativity, some way to be a cut above the rest. It's not so much about the A+ but the skills that will give you an A+;
that's just my opinion though, grains of salt required
>>53859658
No problem at all. You just muted it a bit and changed its intended frequency response.
>>53859717
Well, part of the reason of getting the A+ is to prove, in theory, that I have the technical skills required for A+ work. But I'm concerned whether or not that's enough to land a decent job making decent money right away. Not that I'd be planning on just resting on that A+ for the rest of my life but if it's enough to be comfortable for a little while before I get more ambitious.
>>53859695
I rather not waste money on it.
>>53859894
What do you consider 'decent money'?
You could likely land an easy first-tier tech support for entry-level salary in your area, $28k-$45k depending on cost of living, something like $45k only in San Fran.
>>53859912
40K seems pretty decent. NYC here. But I'd content being in the 30s for the time being. Much more than I make now. I don't believe A+ to be enough for 40, though
So there's a bunch of trucks fitted with dashcams writing .mov files to sd cards. What's the best way to archive old footage? Save it all to ext hdds, or should it be compressed/zipped or whatever first?
>>53859995
zipping video files probably won't do much. depending on the .mov encoding you might try to reencode the videos with a high efficiency encoding like h265 using high quality settings.
>>53859603
Both can accommodate a CF since they have 3x 6+2 connectors. The xfx is a tier above the silverstone in terms of quality but this shouldn't matter. The important bit is the cpu/socket your motherboard supports and whether or not the PSU is haswell compatible. Both of them are. Shame about the prices. I'd say go with the 600W since it's cheaper and provides more power. The xfx is higher quality but more expensive and can provide less power. At least you're saving a good bit of money by getting a 370.
>>53859995
Depends on how much space you have.
Ideally, you have terabytes of storage available at a colocation and you keep everything saved lossless from the recordings.
>>53860071
>>53860104
Cheers. I'll see how the cam encodes the .mov, but hdd space is cheap anyway
>>53860097
They're also SLI compatible so if you want to get a 960 you can do that too. On high/very high at 1080 the 370 would give you 30~40fps and a 960 40~50fps and lower wattage too. Whether or not the extra ~$35 is worth it is your call. But you'll be saving some money on the silverstone so you might as well get the 960 if it's 4Gb.
I just bought a Dell U2414h monitor. Annoyingly, the sound over Mini Displayport is distorted to shit. It's fine over HDMI however.
At 1080p/60hz is there any noticeable difference between a HDMI and a Displayport? If there isn't I'll stick with HDMI since I can't be bothered to troubleshoot.

Nah, HDMI is alright for that screen config. DisplayPort really stands out when it comes to high resolutions with high refresh rates such as 144hz. You could also use DVI if that's the case but it wont carry any audio signal at all.

9 times out of 10, people cry bloat when something has tons of features that they don't use.

Is Visual Studio 'bloated'? Sure.
Is it necessary a bad thing? Not really.
I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Is there anyway to force standard usb storage mount for my android phone(4.4.4)? I'm so sick of mtp's bullshit.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the reason google went with mtp was because there was some issue with both the PC and phone having write access to the storage simultaneously and this was causing conflicts.
I'd even settle for a method that requires me to power off my phone for the duration of the mount(only PC has write access), so I can connect my phone, copy a couple hundred songs at once and disconnect without mtp shitting itself.

Just got a T420 with an SSD, installed W7.
How should I configure it to get the best stability/peformance?
>>53861930
Iunno why anyone buys new, desu, unless the contract you were getting anyway supplies it. It's like cars. As soon as you buy a new one it instantly becomes worthless, and you don't get anything except status anyway.
Except nobody cares about your phone.
The whole smartphone thing is dumb.
>>53862025
I don't have experience, but I can't imagine how storing it with a security-oriented live distro would make it any safer than just using the encryption methods that that distro would be using anyway.
I would just encrypt it. It also sounds easier.
>>53862078
Because his laptop only has an SSD.

Sounds like it's all kept in the profile folder. Just ctrl-c that. You could probably try Firefox Sync or the FEBE add-on, depending on what you think 'most convenient' is.
>>53860617
It might also be driver or software. Make sure you don't have any weird programs that send mouse events, like AHK or something, and check drivers. If it recently worked, Windows System Restore is magic and you might want to try it.
So I recently got a new PC with a 6600k and a R9 390. I want to futureproof by getting a new PSU that might be able to support 2 graphics cards when cards become more energy efficient. Would a 760W PSU be enough for this?

Hey /g/ i'm running hackintosh right now and the problem is this:
When i open a virtual machine using 32 bits virtual box is telling me can't open the vm because i don't have VT-X enabled, sadly my cpu doesn't support VT-X and the solution is run all on 32 bits instead of 64 bits and in GNU/Linux worked fine but in mackintosh doesn't care if is 32 or 64 just tell me VT-X is not enabled and close the vm
Any solution for this? Pic very related.
I'm interested in 2D, 3D, audio production, gaming, programming and web browsing. Do you think all these activities could be done on one computer or would it make more sense to have a dedicated machine to each task?

My pc has 5.1 channel audio capabilities.
Can I somehow use my 5.1 home theatre system on it?
What programing language should you learn first if you:
a - don't know shit about programing
b - want to better understand how programing works, to be able to program some small games and apps
c - will probably end up working with people who know much more programing than you do and need to understand what they say or do
>>53863313
Python
>>53863310
yes, just plug it in
>>53863313
C# or Python.
Both great starting languages.
Is there a programming forum out there that isn't dead ? I don't wanna post in the daily programing thread since I'm learning the basics and I will get bullied.

I need a makeshift, short time solution, for my cooling problem.
My video card heats to the point of crashing and while I wait for my new one, I would like to extend my average usage time at least a little bit before I switch cards.
I don't have a fan. The card's fan is working, but isn't enough apparently. It is not overclocked, nothing has changed since I installed it some years ago. Room temperature is around 77F.
8 Gb RAM or 16 Gb RAM? 16 is kinda useless right now but at least it's future proof, right?
>>53863489
Do you do any video/image/audio editing/encoding or run VMs?
If yes then 16 else 8.And yeah 16 is future proof.

Not sure if it's a stupid question but whatever.
I got a wireless mouse + keyboard combo a couple of months ago. The receiver is a small USB receiver that fits in the bottom of the mouse. Stupid thing is that I lost the mouse (and the receiver with it as well), but I still have the keyboard. Now here's the thing. Would it be possible to hack the keyboard so that I can reprogram it to work with a new USB receiver?
Bought some 2666 DDR4 ram, couldn't install Windows, system would crash all the time during the install.
Figured I had to overvolt the ram so that it would work, system is perfectly fine, except I can't boot in safe mode or play in the UEFI for too long since it overwrites the Overclock settings.
What's wrong with my system /sqt/?
Anything I can do about it?
System has been built and is stable, besides this issue, since over 6 months.

Very, very doubtful. Just reinstall Windows!

Yes, it is supposed to be compatible.

I think I figured it out. I was running out of space somehow (I use BTRFS, very related), and when I rebooted GUI failed and shit.
I deleted a bunch of snapshots with:snapper -c root delete 100-500
The list was from 430 or something to 501, but I assumed there were much more, but seeing as the list if pretty much empty now I guess I deleted all snapshots.
HOWEVER.
What the fuck is this? Do I need to do something else? How do I prevent this scary shit from happening again?

Does brand really matter? I know it's a dumb question but this thread is full of them.

How is it? I see a lot of people complaining about lag and thermal throttling. The specs look comparable to the G4 which seemed ok when I tested a friend's.
>>53864548
I hope so. I hate worrying about the stupid height and bending in my pocket. I shouldn't have to worry about that at all.
>>53864607
>Does brand really matter?
Not really, outside of some brands automatically tacking on extra hundreds of dollars for the name, like Bose.
Bose makes good stuff, don't get me wrong, but diminishing returns make Bose items a poor value.
Hey sqg
Got an r9 390 back in Nov. Been solid for months. Within the past couple months, fans acutely spike to 100% even on customs curve as if thermal sensor had a fuckup.
More importantly, today I got artifacts at healthy temps. I.e. 38c GPU and 50c VRAM. They did not subside until both hit about 30c. Shit is gonna die soon huh. Might as well RMA? Is it possible for loose pcie or power connections could be culprit? Plan on reseating and all, gut tells me to prep for sendoff.

Hey I think I asked this last night but I don't see a response here or even my original question.
I was the dumbass anon who bought a bunch of shit cheap and couldn't get his mobo working. The good news is I got almost everything working, the bad news is I can't get my secondary harddrive working. Windows was able to install itself on the ssd pike I wanted to, but it doesn't even list that my second HDD exists. Even my bios says it doesn't exist as anything but an override boot option. So Anons, how do I get it working. I hear it spinning, and I believe I have it properly plugged in, but I don't really know what I would do here to get it working.
>>53864619
It's slow, I haven't done anything to improve performance but bone stock even after that update that was supposed to fix lag apps will stop responding frequently, will lag for seconds at a time going through menus in apps, etc.
The one positive thing I can say is the apps that lag weren't stock Android, all the stock stuff works great and quick with no lag at all. Snapchat for instance though just doesn't work quickly on this phone, ever.
Can you get noticeable performance increases by rooting the phone over bone stock Android?
>>53865518
how is this even possible?
>>53865730
Well, I got it fixed.
I just unplugged my headset from the front panel of my case and plugged it into the back.
It was fucking weird that such a simple action fixed it. Electrical/Radio interference is finicky I guess.

I bought some long(12-15ft, forget which) 3.5 to RCA cables from monoprice. The problem is, despite being shielded, they introduce noise into the audio, though it really only manifests when I crank my amp to max volume.
Regardless, I'd like to know if there's something I can do about it, or if I should just buy some shorter cables. Really, I'd love to find a source with some options, as I'd prefer a right angle connector, without having to resort to an adapter.

My ssh socks5 proxy is intermittently locking up and after days/hours looking for a solution, nothing seems to work. Pls help.
open ssh socksssh -TND 1234 usr@addrs -p22
open chromium with socks5chromium --proxy-server=socks5://localhost:1234 icanhazip.com
Everything works fine and i can use the internet like normal, other programs using the ssh socks work fine like curl.
But completely randomly i will getConnection to port 8588 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.
repeating 10+ times in the log and then the socks proxy COMPLETELY locks up. Curl doesn't work, chromium times out, and refreshing the page or restarting socks doesn't work.
However while the socks proxy is locked up i can still ssh to the machine which is/was hosting the socks proxy, which is on a different network, and it's internet is fine.
Also:
If i ssh to the other machine while the proxy is locked up and run wireshark on the ssh port i see nothing until the socks proxy "unlocks".

So this Anon here, I've tried doing everything I can to see if I can get this fixed. Nothing will detect it, not my bios, not windows, replacing the cords seem to have done literally nothing, disk list shows nothing, is it safe to assume that the HDD is dead and I should return it? Cause I can't find anything else test or check it.
Should I bother downgrading to a nicer 2TB as well if I do return it?

Which hard drive manufacturers are the best in terms of durability/longevity?
Talking internal here. Trying to replace my current one with something the same or better. My computer's been really slow to load pretty much anything lately and various registry scans and virus/_ware scans return nothing problematic. Needing a new hard drive is all I can think of, especially considering this one is like 5 years old now.
I have an optimization problem, but I don't know how to figure it out
Consider the following table:a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r
1 x x x
2 x x x
3 x x x x x x
4 x x x
5 x x x x x x
6 x x x
7 x x x
8 x x x x x x
9 x x x
10 x x x
11 x x x x x x
12 x x x x x x
13 x x x
14 x x x x x x
15 x x x x x x
16 x x x
17 x x x x x x
18 x x x x x x
[1-18] are different items. [a-r] are tests I can run to determine what an item is. An "x" indicates if an item will return true for a test, and a blank will return false. For example, if I run test "a" and it returns true, then I know the item I have is either item 10, 11, or 12. If I then run tests "e" and it returns false, then I know the item I have is not item 11, so thus it's 10 or 12, and I'd run test h to figure it out.
Each test is expensive to run, so I want to run as few tests as possible on average. Could someone point me in the right direction on a way to solve this?

were the hdd and ssd on the same SATA power ? can you try different SATA power if that was the case?

I just can't seem to understand how you couldn't do something with procedural programming.
>>53866812
They were on different ones just due to where they were located in the case. it was more convenient to do so. So I should move them them onto the same sata power cable then and that should fix my issues?

How the fuck do I set up a wireless internet connection on Fedora? Only network options are VPN, Bond, Team, Bridge and VLAN
>>53866812
Yeah, I'm having a hard time explaining this problem simply. I'm essentially trying to determine a webserver's many to many relationship by bruteforce, modifying my response and looking at the results.
The closest analogy I can think of would be like having an unknown chemical. This chemical is one of 18 chemicals possible (the 1 though 18 rows). You can preform a test on the unknown chemical and see if it reacts to the test. You have 18 tests (the a though r columns). I have to find out what chemical it is though a process of elimination.
Does that example help, or just muddle it more?

then something must be wrong with your mobo. try clearing cmos or resetting bios. try different SATA ports for either drive. make sure your hdd is getting powered (should be spinning) when you have the ssd connected.

Recently, at some random point in time for reasons I can't comprehend, h264 just stopped working on my computer.
I use VideoPad for vid editing and lately everything I try to export fails right off the bat if I try to use h264 as my encoder.
This was never a problem before and I don't know what could have changed on my computer to make it stop working. A lot of stuff seemed to suddenly start working wrong or stop working altogether semi-recently for reasons unknown, which is scary enough, but this is one of the most annoying things.
Is there an easy way to fix this?

Also, I guess one last stupid question. When it comes to Steam games, can I just move the Steam folders over? As long as they're in the same directory as before it should work right?

To save on bandwidth I can just back up the steam apps folder and move it right yeah?
