Why can't I get a gaming pc that is at least on par with PS4 and costs the same? I just want something that can do at least 60fps with most games in 1920x1080. Every time I go calculate the parts, it always goes more expensive.
Hi I'm an idiot from a board with Unique IDs
Is there an extension that allows me to "label" IDs?
Clicking an ID to highlight it only allows me to highlight one at a time.
Ideally I'd want to be able to write a custom label ("OP", "furfag", "mentally ill tranny" etc) so that when I see a new post in a thread I'd have an idea who it was (provided they posted before in the thread and I had labeled them).
I just installed 4chan X to check if it did this and it did not, and when I uninstalled it my native extension got screwed and I had a bitch of a time to get it working again so now I'm wary of installing 4chan extensions just to check if they can do this ;_;
>>54849056
>I just want something that can do at least 60fps with most games in 1920x1080
PS4 can't do that with most games. A PC as capable as a PS4 needn't cost more than a PS4.
>>54849232
I know that but I do want 60fps ideally.
I have a 5050 RGB LED strip behind the projector screen of my home theater. It came with an IR remote. I want to change the stock controller that came with it and replace it with an RF controller.
This LED strip I purchased.

Here is my question. The RGB LED strip I purchased is rated at "3*2A" (6 amp /3 channel). All of the RF controllers that I can find are all "3*4A" (12 amp / 3 channel). The RF controllers are nearly twice the amps of the RGB strip I purchased, but the power supply that came with my 5050 RGB LED is only 5 amps. If I plug a 4 amp per channel (12 amps / 3 channels) controller into an RGB LED strip that is 2 amps per channel (6 amps / 3 channels), will I blow out the lights in my LED strip or will the RF controller break?
>/stupid question
>>54849056
It's very easy to build a PC that performs better than a PS4. So easy, in fact, that your post is most likely bait.
Is the local DSL provider attempting some kind of intentional failure scam/fraud mailing ads for very non-competitive pricing or are they just shit? They're offering half the bandwidth of my cable connection for only $5 less per month, but requiring a three year contract.
>>54849288
PS4 can run every game at maximum settings. That PC cannot.
>>54849288
No it's not. I'm really anxious about putting the thermal paste and CPU on correctly.
>>54849316
>That PC cannot.
Well, then that PC wasn't built correctly. Post a pcpartpicker link to your build.
So I'm gonna be reformatting a series of computers, and before I nuke it I was wondering what the best method is deal with the driver issue.
Is there a simple way to backup and restore the drivers?
>>54849316
>That PC cannot.
What PC? I'm not seeing a part list in his post nor a link to it that would give any indication as to what exactly his PC is capable of doing.
>>54849347
A $360 PC cannot run every game at maximum settings while a PS4 can.
>>54849376
yes it can. easily.
>>54849376
>while a PS4 can.
obvious bait.
>>54849392
No, it fucking can't. A $1000 PC can't run every game at maximum settings. But a PS4 can because it's so much better hardware design.
>>54849422
>No, it fucking can't.
Yes it can, if you know what you're doing. You clearly don't know how to build a PC. You only need a $1000 if you want to overclock and put LEDs and racing stripes on it.
>>54849056
$500 if you really have to save money. $750 to be really ready. $1000 if you want alot of hardware and features

In general , the ps4 design is best. There is no pc that can fit in that design. The ps4 is whisper quiet too.
>>54849558

That cannot run EVERY GAME at MAXIMUM SETTINGS.
PS4 does and that's why it doesn't need more than one setting to make games play smooth.

Remove the static of your body touching something metalic or grounded.
Remember to dont fuck everything up.
Only a dot of paste for the CPU if you are using an aftermarket HSF.
Dont forget the standoff screws.
Put the HSF first before putting the motherboard in the case.
Put your motherboard over the box that came with it.
Remember to dont fuck up the F_Panel cables.

On the note of fucking everything up. I remember I messed up my AMD CPU last time because I accidentally missed a row of pins despite doublechecking my work. I'll chalk it up to be depth of vision.
Does Intel also have the potential of fucking up royally like that too there I have bent pins?

My PCI-E card isn't actually a TV tuner, but a capture card. I had to approximate with the closest thing available.
Having said that, this seems like a remarkably low number. In fact, I went back and plugged in my current card (760) just for the fun of it and came up with a value 5W greater. Is this calculator full of crap, or is the 1080 that efficient?

how to reinstall windows 10. file explorer wont open
Alright so my screen just recently fucked up, it takes a loooooong time for it to "light up" even though the screen is already on but very dim, it was a few minutes at the beggining now its literally hours. You can still barely see half the screen in a dark room. It also makes a constant high pitched buzzing while on that disapears when the screen lights up.
Its kinda weird, I have to wait for it to suddenly light up, then automatically turn off on its own after a few seconds and I MUST be there to light it up again as fast as possible, 4 or 5 times for it to stabilize and work normally, those steps are pretty quick. If i dont light it up again fast and let it rest it'll restart the whole light up thing which takes hours.
Its like it has to heat up over time or something, is it my backlight/buld or my inverter that is fuckecd ? Or maybe something else ?
Just would be a waste to throw a working monitor for something cheap that I could fix myself.
Any advice appreciated.
If my main OS is Windows 10 and if I got a VM with GNU/Linux on it and put some sketchy files into the VM would those files be safe from the NSA?
>>54851206
VMs use "virtual" partitions for memory but the files are still located on your hard drive just like anything else..so no they wouldnt
if you're afraid of the NSA you should bury a hard drive underground and then only access it via ftp or something. as long as the files are never on your other computer they can't do shit
I'm setting up Windows for my parent's laptop. Is malware bytes the best options for security? Common sense 2016 may not be user friendly for them.
Here's a really dumb question. I have no idea how power line frequency works. If I run a 50/60hz monitor on 50hz power in my country, will it affect the refresh rate of the monitor? How does it work?
Why shouldn't I major in CE?
>>54851378
Windows defender is fine
>>54851474
No, that's not even remotely how it works. They're not related at all. Hz just means cycles per second, and is by no means universal across applications. Take a look at this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country You'll notice no country is running 144Hz power lines, because that would be totally retarded. That being said, some extremely high end computer systems use specially generated 400+ Hz power, but probably not for the reasons you think.

thanks in advance
>>54851474
>I have no idea how power line frequency works.
Hertz in AC electric infrastructure indicate how many times per second the current alternates from negative to positive.
>If I run a 50/60hz monitor on 50hz power in my country, will it affect the refresh rate of the monitor?
No.
>How does it work?
The refresh rate of your monitor is indicated in Hertz. If your monitor is only 60Hz then it refreshes 60 times a second.

When you put your heatsink on that there is going to be airbubbles and the paste will likely spill off the side.
Do not ever spread it.
Get a microfiber cloth and 99% rubbing alcohol and clean that shit.
Draw an X with the paste on the processor, leaving some room for it to spread, and slowly push your heatsink on. This is the proper way to apply.

So I'm assuming just using common sense, I should be fine? Like only getting popular torrents and avoiding seeding as much as possible. I have a vpn. Does that help me?
>>54852274
>avoiding seeding as much as possible
I think you should go.
I was reading over the /g/ wiki. Is there some sort of list of safe sites to visit? Like it seems that most of the solutions to avoiding malware are just common sense, safe practices. Do most search engines vet sites in their results? Are there common sites to avoid that are fairly popular?
>>54852274
If you live in the US, the only illegal part of software piracy is distributing, not downloading. So set your torrents to stop after the have downloaded.
And yes use common sense when picking torrents, check the comments, see how many total downloads the torrent has, see if the author has a good track record, etc.
A VPN isn't necessary if you aren't seeding but if you want to seed then use a good VPN or you will be getting letters from your ISP.
>>54852305
You will not get a virus just from visiting a website.
Yes, the solution to avoiding malware is common sense, don't download and execute things that you don't know is trustworthy.
I work in IT for a corporation and we frequently send fake emails to our employees to test and see if they will download bogus email attachments and you wouldn't believe how many people do.

I run it at 1360x768, my CPU usage usually goes to 100% when I'm playing and I haven't really been keeping tabs on my RAM usage, but I remember alt-tabbing at one point and seeing it at around 65%.
As for temperature, I haven't been keeping tabs on that either, but that's probably not the culprit here, the game runs the same whether I've been playing for 5 minutes or 4 hours

If the people that are interviewing you are competent they'll know it's impossible to have every single detail internalized.

What's a solid DSL modem+router+WiFi AP for around 50~ USD or less?
I just want something good quality that has decent wireless strength because I'm sick of the gutter trash that ISPs send.
Also, is it with getting a device that supports DDWRT/tomato/whatever or are they only really useful for power user networkers?

Well, yeah, I do the same. I'm kinda new to the bussiness and I wasn't sure if talking about documentations and google was a good idea to bring up
Thanks, friend! Wish me luck

October is ideal, Vega GPUs will be out and Zen CPUs will be either out or very close to it (and by then we'll know when Zen is coming out of its not already).
However if you can't wait until then, end of June with a Skylake CPU and RX 480 (or 1070/1080 if you want something more powerful) is certainly not a bad time to build. Kaby Lake won't offer much over it.

Which torrent client should I use?
>>54853586
Deluge if you want supreme stability/reliability, a cohesive UI and don't mind spending an extra ~1% CPU usage and 20MB of RAM on a Python program.
Transmission if you want something simple and lightweight.
Qbittorrent if you want your torrents to randomly reset to 0% due to "IO error".
uTorrent if you want to watch YIFY rips on VLC that you downloaded from TPB.
Tixati if you're a complete and total faggot retard and steel rebar lodged in your skull.
>>54853810
So tixati has no bad points? Thanks, anon.

Other than being a closed source Chinese botnet that's banned from any reputable tracker due to how shitty it is, not at all.

If your hard drive isn't aligned with the magnetosphere it will cause data corruption
I got the hardcover version of Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing PC's 21st edition. I think it's a great book so far, but it's heavy as fuck.
I wanted a pdf version to read on my phone, but could only find the 20th edition. I assume I'm not missing out on much of a difference here?
Can raspberry pi power a hdd?
Im planting a secret seedbox in my office. If it works i would power it with battery and solar panel
>>54854138
What does that mean?
>>54854145
If you have a sufficient power supply (2A) it should be able to power a mobile HDD, I doubt that a solar system would be viable.
>>54854145
2.5" HDDs don't draw much current and can be powered from a USB port, whereas 3.5" ones need a separate power supply to spin up.
Why are you going to use a solar panel to power it? Can't find a socket nearby?
>>54854157
Your HDD uses a magnetic field to store data, if it conflicts with the Earth's magnetic field bad things happen.
>>54854228
How would I measure this? FYI I only noticed it was askew after starting the download and it's still downloading.

>>54854572
Interesting idea, there is an ISO on kat.
>>54854608
Well my GPU is a R9 280 so not quite as strong but still ok - I decided to upgrade as I was getting bottlenecked.
I don't intend on OCing so it's either go for an i5 or the Xeon really, not sure which one to go for.
>>54854690

>>54852990
>>54853093
I'll trust in you memers. Just ordered an Asus over and AOC that looked cheaper and better.
>>54854695

B) i5 6600 + Asrock H170A-X1 + 8GB DDR4 -
>£288
I am leaning towards A), but I'd like some opinions on this.
I do not want a 6600k either.
>>54854949
>I do not want a 6600k
Why?
But if that's the case there's no reason not to go with the xeon.
>>54855089
Don't want to OC + extra £20-40 cost of an aftermarket cooler.
But yeah, I've already got some DDR3 RAM but I didn't know whether Skylake + DDR4 was really worth it.
Want to reward myself if I pass my postgrad exams.
>>54855205
Most applications are not RAM limited, DDR4 is never going to be the reason someone should upgrade.
I wanna move to linux.

I want a distro that is stable and as hardware compatible as possible.
I'm between Ubuntu and OpenSUSE. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks
>>54855249
Would you think Intel will keep switching sockets?
I was more thinking that upgrade paths in the future will require DDR4 due to the IMCs in the new CPUs.
So you think I should hit up the Xeon then? That's good news to me.
I bought an 8350 for a server and I'm using it's stock fan temporarily
how the fuck did AMD make it so loud?
I have it on it's lowest setting in the BIOS and it sounds like it is compiling a kernel
It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have a fucking whistle and a knock
>>54855291
Hard to say, Intel's roadmap is to keep the socket until the end of 2017, but the xeon will give better performance now.
>>54855275
If you don have much experience then start with Ubuntu or Mint.
>>54855371
thanks. i used to have ubuntu and arch 8 years ago for a year or so, so i have some experience.

>>54855366
>the Xeon will give better peformance now
Well that's good - I've been on a shit CPU for so long anyway, so little increments in the future probably won't mean much to me anyway.
I didn't actually know it was that much better - I see much about the Skylake i5 having better vidya performance for example.
Can someone please explain the fuckery that AMD did yesterday?
Why did they compare two gpu's in crossfire to a single gpu, and then show that they were only at 51% load? They should've just showed one gpu at 100% since they were obviously implying that it matched performance.
Also, it was obvious that the 1080 was displaying the game much better than the 480's were, so I don't really get why they even showed that.
Were they just cherrypicking results and skewing them or am I just being retarded?
what's a good Chinese tablet (around 8inchs) that has good support for ROMs and shit like that.
Is there any significant difference between a 5th generation i7 and a 6th generation i7? Is it worth spending more money for the 6th generation i7?
>>54855552
Most people are talking about the 6600k, which would definitely give better gaming performance for most games - higher stock clock and the OC potential, but that xeon model is equal to the 6600's single thread performance and much better multithreaded performance.
>>54855552
The Xeon will outperform it by maybe 5-10% in highly threaded applications, for games that top out at 4 cores skylake will have a similar lead in performance.
>>54855600
arguably for laptops it is worth it, otherwise no.
>>54855578
It wasn't in crossfire. It was using the DX12 multi gpu adapter that AotS had.
And also, no.

Both ran the benchmark at the same settings. Just AotS does terrain in procedural generation so no one benchmark looks the same.
>>54855620
>>54855621
I think I'll get the Xeon then, considering it's cheaper anyway.
And no, it wasn't just the 6600k - I did a long trawl across reviews, forums etc. - apparently an i5 6500/6600 has the same performance as an i7 4770.

I was getting BSOD when playing games on win 7 64bit. After some bsods here and there, the pc won't boot. I'm getting nonstop long beeps. The event manager was saying critical error kernel power 41.
specs:

gtx 970
gigabyte 970a-ud3 mobo
corsair hx650 psu
The mobo's manual says continuous long beeps means gpu not properly inserted. But
I tried switching the GPU with a 6850, but the problem persisted. Also the 970's logo lights up when I turn the PC on. Already tried switching the memory sticks, still the same issue.

Don't use utorrent and don't seed unless you're using a private tracker or vpn.
I'm only decent with maintaining my internet/router but I have two band router 2.4/5Ghz and I primarily use the 2.4 due to range.
My parents suddenly come over and fuck with my IP for their own device and now suddenly the 2.4 band went kaput.
Now the 2.4 band is nowhere to be seen on my phone or anywhere in my house/computers
What steps should I do to get it back considered I have no damn clue on where it went? Only the 5G band is operational but the range is troublesome.
