"Is this motherboard a standard form factor and if so, what is it? It's an hp dc5800, similar to the slim dell optiplex" edition.
I want to build a new PC after rx 480 release. Should I go for a DDR3 or DDR4 build?
>>54983750
Please include the word "question" somewhere in the post next time.
Well, can you, nerd?
>>54983816
If you don't go DDR4, you'll just regret it afterward. Eventually DDR3 prices will go up so if you want to upgrade in the future, you'll be stuck getting gouged.

There's a broken HP all in one at my place (similar to pic related). It suddenly stopped working, it just shut down and wouldn't turn on again. Mom and dad claim that it's the result of their prayers to god because my brother was getting addicted to it (for using it 6 hours a day), and say it can't be fixed because it's a miracle of the lord.
My brother talked to a couple of smart jackasses who fix computers on their free time, but they said they can't do it because they just do normal computers, not all-in-ones. Even the people at some small HP support center said they couldn't find anything wrong with it (however they're not the actual HP support center, they're just licensed to represent them in this town or something) How easy are these to fix? Is there a place where I can learn a lot about these so I try to fix it myself?
>>54984059
You can't defy the power of The Lord, anon.
>>54983750
Looks non-standard to me.
>>54983816
The difference in RAM type practically doesn't matter, choose by whatever your CPU needs.
>>54984059
What's not working with it?
>>54984059
Those people he talked to are shitters. All-in-ones are the most interesting too look inside. You may be able to find a service manual for it.
And six hours a day is nothing if it's not interfering with studies. In the 90s, teenagers averaged that much television.
>>54984059
Post the model.
>>54984149
I meant should I go for a LGA 1150 (DDR3) or LGA 1151 (DDR4) build
>>54983897
Thanks anon
>>54983750
That is a BTX form factor board.
This was just something Gateway, Dell, and MPC (now bankrupt) tried to whip up to compete against the ATX standard.
The placement of everything had something to do with thermal issues of the then-current Pentium 4, but then Intel wanted to focus on lower power alternatives (Core), and then BTX was rendered unnecessary.
>>54984240
Unless it's >10% or so more expensive where you live, go 1151.
>>54984307
Not quite BTX, the board sticks out on the top right corner and the CPU socket is in the wrong place.
>>54984334
>Not quite BTX, the board sticks out on the top right corner and the CPU socket is in the wrong place.
Then it's some sort of proprietary garbage offshoot of BTX.
Please rate this build.
I know I should wait until the 1070 comes out so the price drops on the 970, so the reference one is just in there as a placeholder.
I'm thinking of upgrading to 16gb of memory but I'm not sure if that's going to be worth it with the 6400 and 970.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/DMgLkT
>>54984467
Don't get a 970 now, AMD's RX 480 is coming out in a few weeks and is expected to be faster, a little more efficient, and only $200. Spend the difference on getting an SSD for storing your OS + frequently used programs, gives a nice improvement in "smoothness".
>>54984223
It's a PC Omni 100 like pic related.
>>54984208
I too believe that there's a vast conspiracy of people my parents paid to pretend it can't be fixed.
>>54984149
>What's not working with it?
Doesn't turn on. Allegedly at the support center they checked every single soldering everywhere and nothing was wrong, but I don't trust them. I'm gonna start from the bottom checking the PSU (if it has anything like that) and the on/off button switch, and then I'll keep looking into more advanced stuff as long as I know what I'm doing. Never really tried to fix an all in one though.
>>54984083
I'm also approaching the magic angle just to be sure, even though I don't even believe in that bullshit. Some softly strange stuff happened around the prayers, and the computer stopped working that same night, so a few people believe that it was actually paranormal. I'm also gonna check with a priest just to have that possibility covered.

I am considering the 480 but in the past I've only had nvidia cards and never had any issue. I can't tell how good amd drivers are because I can't really tell when someone is just memeing or if there are any legitimate problems.
>>54984570
As much as I'd like to get those things I have a budget of like $800
>>54984559
Not turning on at all is probably either the PSU or the motherboard dead. PSU is most likely. You can probably find replacements on aliexpress/ebay if HP isn't willing to do anything about it.
>>54984649
If you insist on sticking with nvidia I'd still wait, 480 will likely push used prices down.
>>54984606

What brand of ssds are the best in the 100-200gb range? I am thinking of buying 2 120gb ssds (for my mom and I) and I was curious.
>>54984616
So it can be just a space? not four or five as I thought, very interesting. Thanks!
>>54984663
No, Indentation affects the control flow of a program in python.
>>54984683
typically the standard is 4 spaces per 'indent' so its easier to read. As long as they're consistent it should be okay
>>54984661
I don't really care that much, I'm just really unsure about amd because of the mixed reviews.
In your experience are amd drivers up to date with nvidia's? I feel like even though the AMD cards are on par with their nvidia counterparts in terms of raw performance nvidia manages to gimp them through gameworks.
>>54984679
This is a graduation present from my parents. Max budget is $800 and I don't have any income so I'm not going to be able to save up any more.
>>54984708

>>54984698
Thank you so much.
>>54984708
In my experience the lol amd has no drivers is 90% meme 10% true, they often take a week or two to get a performance / bugfix patch out for new games that nvidia gets a patch out in a couple of days for. Their "gaming evolved" recording / game setting suggestion software is pretty shit in comparison to geforce experience, but they're both not really necessary. The only area where nvidia's drivers are significantly better IMO is for games that haven't been rewritten for ages, for example flight simulator and it's descendents as well as some other simulator games tend to work quite a bit better on an nvidia card.
>>54984708

What happened to your job?
>>54984747
I'm finishing high school and I never had a job.
>>54984740
Thanks for the information. The only thing I have left to ask is if the 480 will benefit from DX 12 as much as the current line up of AMD cards. If it does then the 480 looks like quite a good deal.
Does anyone know how much the 8gb 480 is going to be? I think the general consensus is $250 but is this just speculation or is there actually a source for this?

Anyone else's chromium started acting funny during the last couple days?
Everything was perfectly fine but for some reason it's completely screwed up now, it *always* freezes up and eats up loads of CPU when i want to watch a video on youtube or load up spotify or something and i can't right-click either when this happens
I already tried updating pepperflash (it was version 20.0 before and now it's the newest one) manually but to no avail
I'd really like to know what caused this though, like why would a perfectly fine browser fuck itself up for no reason
It's such a shame too because up to this point chromium was by far the most reliable and stable browser in my opinion, but not anymore i guess

Hey so, I'm thinking about the possibilities of a home server.
I want a central computer for serving up Plex streams, NAS, handling backups for computers on the network and maybe seeding torrents. I'd also like it to be capable of hosting FTP and game servers, though those aren't things I'm interested in doing in the near future.
The first thing I'm thinking about is which OS to use. I hear FreeNAS and Linux thrown around a lot, but some people also seem to think Windows is adept at server tasks too. I'm completely unfamiliar with the former two, but I'm willing to learn them if they're the better options. Especially Linux, as it's always been a blind spot in my computer knowledge.

But is there no online service that allows his books to be displayed to read, but hard to download? Like soundcloud does, though it was very easy to download music from soundcloud a while ago, even though they had a price tag on.

>>54986377
Many of those are different paths, and would generally not be on one server,as you want a low latency media server, but at the same time you want memory and disk thrashing programs at the same time, in addition to opening it up to the network,potenially causing the loss of data, if someone were to get in to your ftp and/or firewall
Never opted to use freenas. Everything it requires is very easy to setup, and dosent have a single poinf of failure.

I guess, I was thinking that too. Guess I have to talk to him about it and see what he thinks.
He told me that people were taking his books and just scanning and distributing it, but then he told me to scan his books together and put it online professionally so people would at least, read it from there. But there's no way to protect them unless you're going to sell your books and use a service like brytewave or a publisher I guess.

Within the last week or so, my headphones have started producing a strange crackling/buzzing sound whenever there's no sound playing through them.
Sound quality doesn't seem any different.
The crackling stops if I mute all sounds, or if I play any audio (even if the audio file is complete silence.)
Are my headphones just dying? They're a couple years old.
It just seems odd to me that the crackling would only happen when my computer is both unmuted and not playing anything.
>>54986377
A good place to start is:
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Setting_up_a_Server
>>54986629
my guess is something's up with the connector.

>>54986597
I always setup my systems modular,keep that in mind.
I would put the ftp on a chroot/container thats isolated from the rest of your network and the system its running on. This would be fine with the media server,as you need to move media to the serving folder. Media server will transcode if needed and thats a hit to your cpu
>torrents
Grab a seedbox, that way you just have to import the data to your media server(use ssh/scp/ftp/etc), and your isp wont be on your ass about torrents.Plus you have higher uptime,and you can send it torrents if you arent at home from your phone etc

No.
If you download a Win10 ISO from Microsoft's website, and activate it with AutoKMS, you have a copy that is identical to a "legitimate" one. The only difference is that it will be activated via the KMS service instead of a retail key, which is to say no difference.

When are we going to get benchmarks for the 480?
>>55000149
What do you mean? There's tons of benchmarks for the GTX 480, the only 480 that matters.

Whats wrong with the RX 480?
If it delivers on the rumors of near gtx 980 performance for only $200 that's a pretty good deal.

Is there a way to make a script turn on and off the camera policy? I've used various different ones,but they always lack a widget that i can quickly press and have the camera be usable again. Having to wait 5 seconds to snab a picture is getting tiresome
when i start firefox fullscreen it only fills half and i have to open a new window of something else then close that for firefox to fill the whole screen. and now when i click addon buttons on the toolbar they do nothing, so e.g. i can't see umatrix's menu, nothing happens.

What do you guys think about buying refurbished goods from Newegg? Is it a good idea? I just ordered an Asus PG278Q for $470 refurbished.
Are these "professional" Ultrasharp monitors worth the price premium over their non-"professional" variants?

In C++, how do I round a number to the nearest multiple of 64? For example, if I have 12,847, how do I get to 12,864?
>>55002310
I haven't touched C++, but I'd guess the simplest way involves a % or similar operation
>>55002071
I think the only differences between the two would be that the professional one looks to have a higher end stand and might come calibrated out of the box.
>>55002310
divide and floor
>>55002347
Is there a way to calibrate the other one myself? If they're the same panel and it's just a calibration difference, definitely not worth $150.
>>55002352
or ceiling in this case. so question not answered. (You) :^)
>>55002347
>might come calibrated out of the box.
A pro is going to have a color calibrator, though. There's probably more to it than that, but Id on't know about those specific displays.
>>55002071
eye dee kay
Even my cheapest UltraSharp came with a calibration printout.
>>55002375
So divide the number by 64, ceil it, then multiply it by 64 again?
I guess that works.
>>55002071
I actually have 2 of the U2515H displays. They are really nice. The stands are good, but I use an arm setup, so meh. The bezels are super slim. They are feature packed and even for gaming they work well. That said, dell's pricing for monitor arms can go eat a bag of deep fried dicks.
For Windows 7, what are some good image organizers that focuses on folder organization, as in, any organization that I do appears in the actual folders and not just the program itself? I'm looking for something primarily does that as well as some other aspects like batch renaming for example.
I feel defeated. This is my first build and I spent 9ish hours on it today, ignoring meals, because I was screwing and unscrewing things because they got in the way of each other. This is a shit pic of my GTX960 that won't fit into the case (cit spectre, its 2/5). It's too far right of the slot because that's how the case is, there's no way to push it left. PC Part Picker didn't mention any incompatibilities so I've probably made a mistake or am missing something significant. How the fuck will it fit?
Hey /g/, /b/tard here

How do I turn this off?
I want to build an all-AMD ITX/SFX computer for testing OpenCL software, which I am writing for a uni project.
I would like to know what is the current best AMD CPU (preferably with its own GPU integrated, but optional) that goes with the best ITX board. I already have a mid-tier AMD card for the GPU.
>>55002647
You can only set your status to invisible as far as I know, as the 'app' can't be turned off and it's why I got a desktop installation of Skype on my Win 8
Is this question too stupid for /sqt/?
>>55001855
Personally, if the price difference between new and refurbished isn't attractive enough, I'd rather just spend a bit more to get a brand new one.
Also, if the item costs a lot (over $200, for example), I would rather get a brand new one.
>>54984559
I've dealt with a couple of those shitty all in ones before, it was the motherboard every-time. Apparently they're complete dogshit
I need another hard drive, at least 1TB. Is there a major upside or downside to going bigger, other than the obvious more space? And what brand isn't shit?
>>55002837
Bigger is more likely to have more platters which means more moving parts that can fail, but I wouldn't make a decision based on that. Get what you need. Or maybe RAID5 1.5 times what you need.
>>55002737
How do I set it to invisible lol tyty

Should I buy refurbished hard drives from Micro Center?
>>55003135
>refurbished hard drives
I'd never do this. Hard drives are so cheap and hard drives have a life span that you don't want to end while you're using them that I just don't think it's worth it to buy one with some of it's lifespan already used up.

I'm upgrading my laptop hard drive from a 500GB to a 1TB. I have never done this before so I'm using this guide:http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/ In the guide they never say to format the drive. I'm assuming that using this method(cloning) that you don't need to. Is there an easier way? Is the method I'm using pants on head retarded?
>>55003223
Its a sandy bridge so its a couple generations old, might want to check out reviews but Id say go for it,
Next time you upgrade youll have a decent CPU for a dedicated server build
Why won't it let me in?
>>55003223
Its an older gen, seems to be about the going rate for them on ebay
Keep in mind that LGA 2011-3 is not backwards compatible with LGA 2011 CPUs

>>55003341
You need to escape the space with a backslash. Tab completion should do that for you.
>>55003341
cd "New Volume"
cd New\ Volume
>>55003628
>>55003633
Thanks. Why does it need this anyways?
>>55003681
Becaise it intepreters the first string from the params so up until a space so you either need to wrap the string into a " " so it reads everything between the quote marks or escape the space with a backslash.
>>55003580
Just install setuptools then do:easy_install pip
Then use pip.
>>55003712
But why just for the mounted hard drive? All the files on my SSD with the OS don't require this.
>>55003734
I'm pretty sure they do unless you tab-complete them in which case it's automatically escaped for you.

I can't get ctrl+f to work, everything else works perfectly.
I've tried to restart, it doesn't do anything.
I did put it in safe mode, it works then.
I'm not sure what is wrong with it.
I looked up /how/ to disable ctrl+f and checked, it wasn't setup like that.
I ran "regsvr32 oleacc.dll", nothing. I turned the on-screen keyboard on and tried to ctrl+f, it does not work. EVERY OTHER HOTKEY WORKS THOUGH

Ah, okay, I misunderstood. I thought I was having to use " " because it the directory was highlighted, but was using " " because there was a space in "New Volume". Sorry.

Could be some program that you have running that intercepts CTRL-F globally, try killing some processes until it works?

I like having a desktop more than a laptop honestly. Takes up less desk space and less fan noise / heat.
>>55004273
A desktop definitely produces more heat than a laptop. And plenty of laptops are silent while still having plenty of power to play cartoons. You're are mom isn't going to let you stay there forever.
>>55003225
pls help I need validation
>>55003723
Thanks mate.
>>55004312
What I mean is that the heat is blown off somewhere else rather than on my desk or lap or whatever.
Part of me is also fed up with using laptops for my main computer for nearly 10 years.
>>55004376
You can plug a keyboard, mouse, and monitor into a laptop and leave it out of the way like it's a desktop, but still be able to take it elsewhere. It seems suboptimal to buy a desktop if all you're going to do is view text and play videos on a single monitor.

relevance of RAM speed? I asked this question in a different SQT and would really appreciate input. My current setup is
>i5-4690k
>4x4GB ddr3-1600mhz CL9
I can get either an i7-4790k for $280
Or an i7-6700k for $280 as well.
Now granted getting the 6700k would entail a new motherboard, new ram, so the final cost for the whole new setup would be just shy of $500 for
>6700k
>Gigabyte Z170-XP SLI
>2x8GB ddr4-3200mhz CL15
Money isn't an issue really but would it be placebo to get the Z170 platform as opposed to sticking with Z97? I mean gaming aside, I do a lot of video encoding and the extra threads would help. How relevant is RAM speed in current day applications? Is it even worth going to DDR4? I know Z170 brings more PCIE lanes, proper NVME support, low power consumption etc.
>Please help me /g/. I've been flip flopping back and forth on this for weeks.

cloning has 2 outcomes. Either works flawlessly and everything works out, or fails terribly and you lose everything. I recommend you backup everything important to you, then go for the cloning. If it fails, you have to wipe the drive entirely and begin fresh. That's a whole other process.
>>55004023
You aren't playing vidya games? Why do you need to overclock? Toss the noctua fan, get a locked cpu, get a cheaper motherboard.
It sounds like you're trying to not be judged for playing video games though. If that's the case, just say so. Half of this board is gamers who just happen to hate browsing /v/.
>>55004681
I've already created a disk image om a flash drive for a back up. Thanks for the reply.
>>55004695
then it should be fairly straight forward. If the cloning goes off without a hitch, make the old 500GB drive an external. You can get a USB 3.0 enclosure for like $20 for a really good one.
>>55004709
Thanks for the tip.
>>55004661
I'm pretty sure unless your work is a server or super intensive, DDR4 isn't worth it.
If I install KCP and then install the latest version of MPC will it just werk?
Which would be better/easier to set up for someone older and not so good with tech a roku box or an amazon firestick? Looking to get one for my dad on fathers day since he want's something he can just watch netflix and hulu on.
will a 20 pin + 4 pin power supply work on a 24 pin + 8 pin board?
>>55004661
DDR4 isn't really a reason to upgrade, but if you want to upgrade your CPU I wouldn't half-ass it, get the newer platform. If you do a lot of video encoding you can use the old machine as a secondary render box. There is a slight benefit from going from DDR4 2133 to DDR4 2400, but past that not as much.
>>55004826
You should get your dad to do stuff instead. Or have him euthanized.
>>55004826
If he has an Amazon Prime account, go with the Fire Stick. Otherwise Roku or the Nexus Player
>>55004845
yea I figured as much but since the 6700k is literally the same exact price as the older 4790k I felt a bit leery about NOT buying Z170. And as for DDR4 speeds, the only reason I'm getting DDR4-3200mhz is price.
>DDR4-2133 = $60 for 16gb kit
>DDR4-2400 = $63 for 16gb kit
>DDR4-3200 = $70 for 16gb kit
For $10, why the fuck not right? I would probably just sell my i5 and Z97 board to a friend.

>You can plug a 20 pin ATX power cable into a motherboard with a 24 pin ATX connector. The image above shows the 20 pin power cable plugged into a 24 pin motherboard. A 20 pin power cable only fits into one end of a 24 pin motherboard connector so you can't insert it incorrectly. The 24 pin motherboard connector is actually just the 20 pin connector with 4 extra pins added on the end. The original 20 pins were unchanged. The extra 4 pins are not separate rails. They're just extra lines to provide more current to the same rails. On every 24 pin motherboard I've seen, the extra lines for ground, 3.3, 5, and 12 are just connected to the other lines on the same rail from the 20 pin connector. I've never heard of exceptions and it doesn't make sense for motherboard makers to create any. As a result, you can plug a 20 pin cable into a 24 pin motherboard and it will work just fine. At least, it will for a while. They added those extra 4 pins for a reason. When you plug a 20 pin cable into a 24 pin connector you're not providing the extra current carrying capacity which may be needed by the motherboard. If your motherboard's current requirements are low enough then it will work properly with only a 20 pin power cabled plugged in. But if the motherboard draws enough current, then you can overheat the 20 pins you're using on the 24 pin connector.
TL;DR: You can but it isn't a great idea.
