What question should I ask?
Just built a computer and my CPU is running hot. It is stock - all fans are running and I just replaced the stock thermal paste with new paste to see if that helped. It didn't
The left picture is what the temp. looks like when idling - very jagged. The right is when it's stress tested with Prime95.
Is my CPU fugged?

How do you actually disable telemetry and automatic updates in win 10 ?
I disabled automatic updates via gpedit.msc and chose notify to download and install but there are more methods which are saying i need to edit registry too is that correct ?

No, file size has nothing to do with how CPU intensive something will be.
For example this FPS game is less than 100KB big (about the size of a low-res JPG) and is very CPU intensive.

So dual booting with 1 drive is not how you're supposed to do it? I'm just trying to get an intuative understanding of how partitions work in relation to installing windows. When installing, it lets me pick the partition I want to install to. Would the old "reserved by system" partition automatically get overwirtten because there can only be 1 per drive? Or is the boot-information stored somewhere else not visable?

Most dual boots are separate partitions on the same physical disk. That part doesn't really matter. But most dual boots have 1 copy of windows and then something else. Windows tends to fight with other windows. It doesn't expect to see another copy. Now if you have 2 different generations and you install the newest one last, you might be able to do it that way. It depends. If it sets up the dual boot for you, you're golden. Otherwise you have to fiddle with the bootloader to get it to list everything. That system partition you mentioned tends to have the boot instructions in it, but you can move them to your c partition using easybcd, then delete the reserved partition. You can also edit those files to give you a choice between 2 os partitions upon boot.

That's so weird. Voltage at idle is 1.424V. Voltage when under 100% load is ~1.18V and results in cooler temperatures.

So if I simply boot into the windows cd with windows already installed on the drive, and choose a newly created partition on the drive to make a new install on, the old "system reserved" partition will get overwritten, and the old "C drive", will be named something else but still have all the shit in it, exept unbootable?
>>55493772
that is indeed fucky and i've never heard of such an issue before desu
yeah try troubleshooting in bios, maybe it has the boost clock undervolted for some reason or something like that
if nothing helps in bios i'd recommend googling this issue since you've narrowed it down some
>>55493827
I googled it - it seems normal part of the process and it used to prevent the cpu from frying.
I'm still a little worried about cpu temps idling in the 60's. The motherboard (MSI 970A G43) is idle at 57C. This shit is hot as fuck.

http://www.howtogeek.com/214477/how-to-dual-boot-two-or-more-versions-of-windows/
Ideally they'll both be bootable. If you're not planning on editing them it doesn't matter, but the boot files could technically be located in any one of the three partitions. I'm guessing the system reserved is going to be overwritten with a boot menu that points to both drives and gives you a choice each boot, unless you move or modify it

So I asume when you say hard drives, you mean an internal HDD. Otherwise all this is gonna suck. You want to move move the "location" of your user folders to the HDD. Just go into the settings of your folders for desktop, my documents etc. and change location. That makes most things automatic(like music, movies, documents and downloads which will be on HDD). If you install steam, put it 100% on HDD. Programs go on SSD unless they are too big. A file and the program that runs it do not need to be on the same disk.

My bad, guys. They do seem to have fixed it. When the card was first released, it was drawing enough power to fry your motherboard. Still, I'm not especially confident in the product after that, but it might be a good card now nonetheless.

>>55496386
Would upgrade your gpu first. An i3 is much less of a limitation than your card. RX480 is a good choice. People are just raging at it real hard because /g/ likes finding excuses to rage. The 1060 is also coming out soon but it looks like it will be about $100 more initially, and maybe not worth the price difference. Usually recommend waiting for the second revision of a card model if you're not in a hurry.
Are there any IT certificates that aren't scams? I watched around 25 hours of course time plus extra hours setting things up for a CEH certificate.

The other choice is to take an overpriced course with them + $100 application fee.
I would pay the $100 application fee if I knew they would let me take the test and pass or fail...

>When the card was first released, it was drawing enough power to fry your motherboard.
No, people just have no idea how the PCI spec works and latched onto something to complain about.
The PCI spec defines only a minimum power rating which is to be supplied by the motherboard. In reality the motherboard can deliver a much higher power than its minimum spec (hence "minimum") and this value is communicated to the GPU through PCIe registers. It is not possible for the motherboard to deliver more than this amount regardless of what the card is "requesting" because the motherboard (not the GPU) controls how much power is available.

Sorry, I didn't mean getting them to play in 21:9 (know how to do that). I meant just getting them to play in the first place. Me buying an Ultrawide is just the reason why I want to watch some Blu-Rays on my computer in the first place.
How long does a rip normally take? I'm willing to just rip a Blu-Ray and delete it after watching if the ripping process doesn't take too long.

I couldn't see that going under $500 on a good day. You can get those korean monitors that OC 1440p at 120hz for $200, but those literally will not output any resolution except 1440p, so you have to be real committed to it.

was thinking perhaps i3 skylakerange and maybe a gpu like 750 ti or a better deal.
although I do have a spare SSD and 16gb of DDR3 brand new ram. tough call.
After my PC idles for a few hours, my GPU's power sensor stops updating properly. It will just say 8% regardless of how much power it is actually using. When I reboot the PC, everything is fine and the sensor reports normal changes in GPU power usage.
Any idea what might cause this, or how I might remedy this?
How do i go about testing a new hard drive so it doesn't die on me when i need it?
I need internet to download drivers for my AC600 Wireless AC Adapter, and all I have that can connect to my desktop is an iPod Touch that can only download images.
Would anyone be able to host the driver for Windows 7 as an image somewhere?
Like, changing the file type to png or something.
iPod should be able to download that, and I can transfer to desktop then convert it back.

A lot of people use an ad blocker on the world wide web. But definitely not enough for websites to lose money over it. Youtubers like Pewdiepie are millionaires, and i'm guessing his videos are so effective because he targets kids who are too young to understand ad blockers and stuff.
What do you think how many Computer Science, Engineering, and other STEM students students use ad blockers? Must be somewhere in the 90% range. It probably wouldn't be worth it to make videos aimed at university STEM students, right?

ok so I posted a thread today where I asked why my bootstrap carousel doesn't work. I've been called an idiot (wich is pretty normal on 4chan) for not linking js file.
can someone tell me how to do this exactly?

Honestly it's not that bad, a little flatter Windows 7 without the start menu. Window 10 is worse IMO.

From my experience, Apple is just too stubborn. I recall people saying it's the best for video/image editing, but I want to have a lot of freedom and control over my OS instead of being railroaded.

Should I upgrade to windows 10? I have 7 and like it, but at the same time, the window for the free upgrade is ending soon
>>55497765
10 is good if you don't mind the unseen botnet and you dont use the store. 7 is more controllable, 10 is automatic whether you like it or not. if you've been on vista you're going to LOVE 7, and probably not hate 10. Linux is great but not for everyone.
>>55497872
Its 'ending' to pressure you to update
With all the nefarious ways they've tried to get people to update I'd be amazed if they don't extend it indefinitely.
>>55497837
Don't really know. Windows 8 is supposed to be faster(IIRC), but Windows 7 has a nicer GUI.
If you have it boot to desktop instead of Metro then you hardly have to deal with Metro at all.
Windows 8 will probably have longer support too since it's a bit newer, on the other hand Windows 7 might be cheaper nowadays.

I go to an engineering school and most of the people I talk to use some form of ad blocker. It's mostly younger generations who do it though. None of my older relatives or parents' friends know what an ad blocker is, how to use it, or think it is unethical to use.
Personally I use it on every site just because of how often ads are infested with malware. I used to keep it off on a couple trusted sites I visited, until they started playing video ads. I did get ads about STEM programs from different universities when I didn't block them, so I guess they are still worth it.

I won't use store, and I mean it's probably too late to be worrying about botnet crap; I Chrome and Google like a motherfucker.
I would probably prefer 7 over 10; I've used it before and it's good for what I want.

You would probably prefer 7. But you should also take advantage of the update so you have a license, and you can test drive 10 while your there. The goback process is easy. I'm planning on doing a big thread on it tomorrow
>>55489134

>The goback process is easy.
Honestly, I would have guessed it was difficult, judging by the way they shove it down peoples throats.
I mean, the 'x' button proceeds. That is malware.
>>55498083
No I mean if you're in 10, and you want to go back to 7 or 8, you just Start> Settings> Update & Security> Recovery, then hit the “Get started” button under Go back to Windows 7(or 8.1) Takes you right back
I do agree that the update tactics have been extremely malware-esq

Overheating I think
It climbs from 30 idle to 60 then everything locks up
ust got an MSI 1070 Gaming X and it has the feature of the fans turning off when there isn't any load. Thing is, temps go around 50-55 degrees when idle and when I manually keep the fans on it stays at 40.
Which should I do to prolong the life of my card:
-Keep the fan on at all times for constant low temps?
-Leave it as is and make the fans only turn on when the card is under load?
I want this card to last me a long time.
