Gaymen question.
Do I understand correctly that simply increasing the core and memory clocks of a graphics card, without increasing voltages and without allowing it to overheat, will not accelerate electromigration or otherwise damage the card/reduce its useful lifespan?
If the above is correct, why is OCing still seen as a dangerous/warranty-voiding activity and why doesn't literally every single person who buys a card OC it?
>>54635030
My ass
>>54634831
Why is Jim Carrey so based?
>>54635075
If you don't increase voltage you may end up with instability
>>54635101
Right. But let's assume I decide not to, and just get the clocks as high as I can on the stock voltage without artifacting/instability.
>>54635118
You can, but the gains will be minimum and stress testing it takes time.
>>54635118
Dosent work that way.

I need to upload a 1.87 GB video file over DDL, and I did so, through MEGA. The problem is that I didn't know about the bandwidth limitation. While downloading the file for testing I got a warning saying that I had exceeded my quota (for downloading 1.50 GB over the last six hours) and I realized that other people trying to download it would run into the same issue.
So, the question is: what would be a better service to upload this file to? One that allows more than 2GB uploads and uninterrupted downloads.
>>54635237
Clock speeds scale automatically
>>54635075
In principle you're still making it work more, out of spec, so yes, you actually will accelerate electromigration and reduce lifespan, even when keeping the temps under control. Increasing voltage is what truly makes it dangerous.

Dear /sqt/.
I have a problem with various programs made at my work that refuse to even start at my Windows 8.1 on laptop, while working flawlessly on Windows 7 on home desktop and work desktop.
No matter if I double click or open cmd and type "start x.exe", nothing happenes.
All three are 64bit ones.
How can I check what blocks it from running?
>>54635153
>>54635155
I did. I OC'd my 960 a decent bit (not sure of the exact numbers, not booted to Windows now) without tweaking the voltage, and it seems to work fine. Got artefacts past a certain point, reduced it a bit and they were gone. Standard stuff, as I understand it.
Played a few hours of RotTR on mostly-High (& Very High textures) and it was the difference between locked 1440p30 and... not.
>>54635277
See this is what I assumed before. But from researching it, I can't actually find what would actually stress it from simply "working more"- assuming stock voltage and reasonable temps. Can you give any more details?
>>54635237
Yes you can just leave it. Your OC only affects the highest performance step; outside of games your GPU/memory still clocks down as normal.

>>54635377
All batteries self-discharge to some degree, and many phones aren't truly 100% off when they're "off". Your own drain may or may not be normal depending on how fast it happens.
>>54635345
>I can't actually find what would actually stress it from simply "working more"
It's just that: working more. The fact that currents travel through the transistors in the chip slowly destroys them with time. Make it work more often (more cycles per second) and more current has to flow in a fixed time, accelerating the damage. Not accounting for the extra heat, doubling the frequency would be like using the card twice as long in the same period of time.
>>54635345
>Yes you can just leave it. Your OC only affects the highest performance step; outside of games your GPU/memory still clocks down as normal.
does this apply to overclocked cpus too? how long can i run the game for without damaging the cpu/gpu?
>>54635460
You can configure the CPU settings in the BIOS, if you want it can use adaptive settings or constant
Temperature is the main factor
Try not to exceed 80C for GPUs and 70C for CPUs
>>54635460
>does this apply to overclocked cpus too?
Roughly yes, if you don't disable the speedstep function (which there's no reason to do unless you're doing extreme overclocking).

Are we talking "it will last 3 years instead of 6" or "it will last 15 years instead of 20"? I'm not all that familiar with electronics' natural lifespans. If it's more like that latter, it seems like a very abstract matter since no-one uses a GPU for that long.
>>54635460
Generally CPUs do clock up/down as needed too, although it will probably run at full speed rather more often than your GPU will.

>>54635646
No, overclocking it generally doesn't void the warranty, however if the problem is found to be due to overclocking your warranty may not cover it.
>>54635573
Again not accounting for the extra heat, at fixed voltages the lifespan would scale linearly with the (inverse of) frequency, in my gross extimation based on a very limited model of the wearing dynamic. I believe that fairly used gaming cards don't typically reach 15 years.
>>54635646
>am i just being paranoid of the them catching fire when i'm sleeping?
I suggest you to use a monitoring tool (such as MSI Afterburner for the GPU) and see for yourself how frequencies switch and temps change.

I think I might have some sort of virus, but after doing a full scan using MSE it couldn't find anything.
I'm using Chrome and have that setting which keeps my tabs open for me enabled. The past few times I've turned my computer on, whatever tab is currently open isn't what page I was on originally, but http://one-night-affair.com/?u=0t0pae3&o=1c0e9u2&t=. I can click back to get to the original page though. But the thing is is that I just restarted my computer to see if it would happen again but it didn't. What the fuck? I haven't downloaded any sketchy files on this computer, adblock has been enabled since the second I installed this browser, and haven't used it to watch porn in a really long time. I recently reinstalled Windows on here too so it couldn't be something from months ago.
Any idea what this might be? If it's worth mentioning, the pages it's opened itself up so far on are /vg/ threads. It didn't happen when I tried restarting with a Google page open.
>>54635030
Consider how long 1080 has taken. Modern graphics cards are barely pushing 4k60, you want essentially 12k 144. How about we get to 4k 120 first. Could be in for another big performance boom though now that we've got another die shrink.

>>54636793
You shouldn't miss a cable, everything should be in the boxes. Even if you can just buy new one, they're dirty cheap. As long as you can follow instructions, you won't fuck it up. Watch on youtube tips on building your own PC, or building PC from the scratch. Even if you fuck something up, you can go to local pc store and ask them to check, why it's not working
>>54636802
Better wait for 3rd party cards if you want 1080. Shit's overheating af
>>54636771
>does 2/4 way sli/crossfire mean double/quadruple the performance/fps?
Absolutely not. 2-way SLI generally gives 1.5x performance at best
>is sli/crossfire recommended in general?
If the CPU you have is bottlenecked by your GPU (your CPU prerenders frames faster than the GPU can render them, this is kinda rare) AND your GPU and mobo support SLI AND you can afford a second copy of your GPU, but you can't afford to buy a GPU that would give better performance than SLI-ing your current one, then go for it. If ANY of these is not true, don't do it.
>>54636793
>>54636793
You may need to buy a cable to connect the hard drive, and you'll need some thermal paste for the heat sink if it doesn't come with some. I like ceramic. It's usually not more than a degree warmer than metal and won't short stuff if you screw up. I think you goofed getting only one terabyte. It fills fast.
>>54636888
How long is it until 3rd party cards will be released, just as an estimate?
Why is google captcha getting steadily more obnoxious and what can I do about it? "Select all squares..." was annoying enough but now theres a ton of "Click verify..." which is even slower. And every so often it just says "Fuck you. Do it again."
I try to search for at least some commiseration but all results are two year old articles from when it was good - when they were still digitizing books.
>>54636771
SLI isn't worth it unless you're already using the highest end card available, unless you somehow get a second card for free.
You don't see linear performance gains, many games don't even support it, you have to get a more expensive PSU, and you get a bigger power bill.

how is screen tearing a thing? it happens when the gpu makes more fps than your monitor's refresh rate. according to >>54635345 gpu/memory clocks down to normal when not needed so assuming that the game i'm playing doesn't require too much performance, why doesn't the gpu limit itself to create less fps, it makes me think that the gpu is always pushing itself to its limits to make the highest fps as possible.

That's what vsync does
The problem is that this increases latency and can cause noticeable input lag.
Newer monitors often support variable refresh rates so you get the anti-tearing effect of vsync without the latency.

I know I shouldn't ask this here, because you goyims hate "hackers", but anyways. A while back I saw a page or a pastebin document where there were a lot of Google Searches where you could find SSH logins, normal logins for websites that didn't protect their own login files and stored it in plaintext and some files like some kids phising site that saved all of his logins he got from the phis site in a .txt file. Where can I find a list somehow similar to this?
I have no idea why but I can't post from my computer because captcha won't show up. I thought it was adblock or noscript or firefox acting up, but I can't post from chrome, wherein I don't have adblock or noscript installed, either.

Spend more on monitor or spend more in motherboard?
Thank you for this thread. I have a question that might seem stupid for the average /g/ veteran:
Okay, so I have family who use computers. I don't want them using windows 10 because it constantly screws up their files. My mother's laptop installed it without her permission and a bunch of drivers got screwed up because of it. Imagine my surprise going over to her place and finding her computer missing important files left and right.
Regardless, is there a way to check if Windows 10 is installed on a computer? I know the UI differences between the two, but I feel like W10 is a ticking time bomb that'll install itself if it has the files on your computer. Is there a place i can check for these files? Can I delet them if they're there? What can I do to avoid Downloading W10 if it isn't? I know you're supposed to disable automatic update, but I'm worried that I'll miss an actually important update for security and all that.
I wish I could install gentoo or linux, but my entire family (including myself) are computer illiterate. So it can't be helped.

What exactly do you mean by this?
Your family is not special, and the Windows 10 upgrade will not just 'screw up files'.
Are you referring to compatibility issue with certain programs? Have you tried setting them to run in compatibility mode?

>>54637664
>Are you referring to compatibility issue with certain programs?
Specifically, alot of games don't run properly on it. Also, a big issue is that a major driver wasn't installed with Windows 10, in particular it was the "quick bar" driver. So she can't use the task bar at the bottom of the desktop, or click on any icons from it. She couldn't have deleted it, because she's been using her computer for 4 years, and I've regularly done maintenance on it. I've had to reboot it once, and install antiviruses and scan for malware,but she's never had that happen to her. it's not a file you can accidentally delete, right? Even if you're completely computer illiterate, the partitions you have to bring up and the specific actions to not only locate the driver, but delete it as well, would be too complicated for the average person.
As to the other thing you said, I just want the option to stay on Windows 8.1. Even if Windows 10 is better, my experience has told me that you never upgrade to the newer windows until at least a few years have passed. Not only do I do it for compatibility issues, but I also don't trust Microsoft to make competent hardware OR software. I fell pray for the Xbox 360, which was garbage, and I'm not slipping on that banana peel again.
Can you use an external graphics card for laptops if there's one inbuilt that you can't remove?
>>54637604
You can restore back to your previous version of Windows after upgrading if it does go through with the update, so you should be OK.

For premiere pro video encoding and gaming at the highest settings on cpu-demanding games, will a i5 6600k be as good as a i7 4770k ? Which one should I get ?
I can get both at the same price (new pc build) but I don't know if skylake is worth the price increase on motherboard and ddr4...
One is more "future-proof" and the other has hyperthreading !
and compared to a i7 4790 ?
Thank you :)
>>54638891
Yes. As a CS major myself, plenty of my classmates came in just like you.
>>54638891
You can do it, but there's really no point.
>University computer science departments are in miserable shape: 10 years behind in a field that changes every 10 minutes. Computer science departments prepare their students for academic or research careers and spurn jobs that actually pay money.
Any successful programmers are self taught, even if they happen to have a degree. All the paper does is get you past HR and into the interview.

Should I bother repairing my Xperia Pro MK16a for [spoiler]700 mexican pesos, maybe a little less[/spoiler]?. Also, what could I do to make it faster/improve it?
I want to split my internet into 2 wifi clients. One of them would have 1mb/s and would be free so my neighbours would connect and use it, while I would keep the remaining 9mb/s.
Is it possible?
And how would I do it? And how can I see what people are browsing?
Thanks

I've got it propped up between two books with the back cover off and it still averages 107 degrees
I don't think there's much dust in there, but I'll put on some thermal paste and see if it helps things
What do I do with this? Got it for free, over clocked the q9300 to 3ghz easy with no extra volts. Didn't come with any hard drives but has 8 sata2 ports(!) Max memory supported is 16gb, and I could do a 771 swap but is it worth it /g/? I'll have to buy a new power supply if I put a gaymen GPU in it or any SATA drives

That can be a decent midrange gaming machine. I'm not sure if it has PCIE v1 or v2, if it has v2, it can be a mid-high tier too, with a decent videocard.
You'll be limited to ~250mb ssd speeds though.
>>54639248
Depends on if you already have something better
You could probably throw a 750ti in it without a new PSU.

I still have to buy new psu for sata drives though... I already have a 3570k build with a 970... I booted archbang on it while overclocking and ran a memtest and it is pretty fucking fast for being free. I can do an e5450 swap and it would hit 3.6ghz no sweat, but i only have 2gb of ddr2. I would have to buy more ddr2 as well. Do you guys think I could sell it on craigslist as a gaming pc if i put an ebay gpu in it?
>>54639336
also it's pcie2.0x16 so yeah it has potential
I need a surge protector. I don't even know how to phrase this. How many joules is good? I see protectors from 400 to 4000 joules, and I don't know how strong an average power spike is.

What about Computer Engineering? I'm not that anon and I know it's a completely different field (I hear it's closer to EE), just wondering
Okay, so after all these years of having my site hosted with Jewgle Sites, I decided to start hosting my own site which I've been totally rewriting in HTML. Started learning today.
I *expected* HTML and CSS to be markup-language not unlike my experience with LaTeX, but there are some basic things, I can't figure out how to do even after searching (probably still obvious).
For example, is there a way to write the code for a menu bar for every page on my site independently in a different file, then call the file on each page? I can do it in each page independent, but that's a huge waste.
Please tell me that there's a way to do this. I'd hate to have to go change every file when I have to add a menu item or something.
Would there be any problem if I leave an internal hard drive in my room?
I'm seeing that they are cheaper than external hard drives and I can afford one right now but I can buy the case until next month.
Would that be bad for the disk?
>>54639887

What is a decent bitcoin exchange I can use? Mainly looking for one that deals in CNY and USD, I don't really care for "trading" to generate profit which seems like what most exchanges I find are about.
I just want some place I can trade money for bitcoins. I usually just need them to buy something off Steam or some other online stuff. I only really use it for small transactions under $100.

Why do you people like Linux so much? Not trying to hate just an honest question. I don't know much about Linux.
any decent CPU overclocking applications tha arent the BIOS or UEFI?

Its a surge protector on steroids plus battery backup if something happens.Add 200W to the size of your psu and get that.Plug only your tower and your switch/router/modem on to it.Boom internet still going on,tower still on.Lets you ride out the storm without being interupted/
>>54640073
Well it does everything that Windows/Mac do, but with more customizability, no spying, no forced updates, no bloatware, and a community of programmers who can modify source code when confronted with a problem, rather than Microsoft Pajeets who just have to say "I'm soddy sir, but ve cannot do dat."

It keeps your computer on if the power goes out at all, so you don't lose your work if a lightning strike makes dip for a couple hundred milliseconds, and you have time to save and shut down if the power goes off. They also tend to protect from some kinds of fluctuations way better than plain surge protectors do.
I recently had a storm cause a brief dip that reset everything not on the UPS, and I didn't notice until the next day because it kept everything in my office running smoothly.

I've been looking to get into drawfagging, since I consider myself a decent cartoonist.
I have a tablet (pic related, it's a BAMBOO FUN CTE-650) that I bought in 2010 or something, but I lost the pen to it, and it's pretty expensive (~100$ I think).
I could buy the pen to it and keep using the tablet I have now, but I'm not sure if it would be more worth it to just completely buy a newer cheaper 30$ tablet off of amazon. Which one should I buy? Which would be the better choice, are there certain advantages to using my expensive bamboo tablet as opposed to say, a 55$ Parblo A610?

If the parts are cheaper altogether because of a sale or something on the pre-built site. What exactly am I losing out here? It seems like a decent deal assuming it all ships safely than paying a little extra money and having to do assembly myself.

I have a C++ question.
I have a function something liketemplate <typename T>
int foo(T *__restrict x, T*__restrict y){...}
I give it a C wrapper:int foo_int(int *__restrict x, int *__restrict y){
return foo<int>(x, y);
}
Naturally I pass two int*'s into foo_int. But for some insane reason, T gets interpreted as double. Even more confusingly, if I addprintf("%d\n", x[0]);
std::cout << typeid(x).name() << '\n';
to foo, the printf statement generates a warning about T being interpreted as double, but the typeid shows Pi.
What the hell?
So I'm using Kid3 to clean up my music files, and foobar has all the metadata, while Kid3 says there had been none, which makes no sense because it shows every last tag. And foobar isn't pulling the metadata from some other location, afaik.
