just get a newer Adata one. they're alright.

>>54398017
What'd you get?
So i'm buying a pc. Is there anyway I can download windows for free instead of paying for it?
>>54397914
Yes
I heard piratebay sells it for free
>>54397922
ok but how?
>>54397930
Wouldn't i get any trouble after downloading it from tpb?
are sound cards useless ?
my friend landed me his sound blaster Z, and to be honest i really can't tell the difference with my on board codec.
i have fairly decent headphones (Bayerdynamics DT990) so technically i should be able to hear a difference.
>he fell for the audiophile meme
>>54397749
sound cards are pretty useless unless you actually know what you're buying
for almost all intents and purposes an external DAC will do you better purely because of isolation from the inside of a case
>>54397749
if you skimped on the mobo and got a shitty onboard sound with interference then internal soundcards are fine as are external ones (usb, firewire, whatever)
if you didn't skimp on your headphones and bought the wrong headphones for the wrong system and have high impedence then an onboard soundcard will be a tad better, as will external ones
the problem is when people buy internal(/external) soundcards when their onboard works fine - internal is going to be fine for driving 99% of headphones/speakers and isn't going to have an issue, dedicated soundcards usually try to appeal by having more amplification or by having better recording or by having more channels/connectors etc
the main difference between internal and external is that external soundcards, especially usb, suck for latency (which makes a difference when recording) -- to not get shit latency on external you need a firewire one and you need to spend a shit ton (>£80-100) minimum whereas even the cheapest of the cheap internal soundcards have almost no latency
I need a new pc i have 600$ to spend. What pc should i get. Oh and i need to be able to use SolidWorks python c++base programming etc

Do you need all of the fixings like a new keyboard or mouse or monitor?

>>54397626
You shouldn't use Debian for desktop, even if it's the unstable release. Switch to Arch, Gentoo or Slackware and never worry about outdated software again.

what are the best cpu air coolers for around $35?
currently trying to decide between the hyper 212 evo ($25), the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer i32($24), and the CRYORIG H7 ($34)
the evo has a good track record with people. the i32 is a semi passive cooler that turns off during lite use and on during higher loads, and the h7 has good reviews too.
should i just go with the cheapest one? or is the h7 worth the extra couple bucks?
i have an i7 3770 not overclocked.
>>54397624
The only coolers worth buying are Noctua. If you cant afford them you need to look for a job
Not overclocked? Just go stock man. Out of that list though the H7 is best, however the 212 is the cheaper and more than enough for a cpu that's not overclocked.
>>54397877
why is that?
i can afford them, but i dont really know if its worth the extra money for what i do on my pc. which is play games and 3d modelling
My Celeron dual-core (pic related) is kind of slow, even with a brand new SSD.
Are there any 11.6" netbooks out there with a Core M or even i3 series for less than $200?
>>54397487

>less than $200

kek
You should try to find a Chromebook with a recent big core Intel processor, i.e. Skylake, Broadwell or Haswell. They are way faster than the Atom based ones, even if both are sold under the Celeron brand.
Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?

God i can't wait untill Stallman dies and thewhole freetard movement goes away.

DuckDuckGo is donating $225,000 to Open Source this year. Does this make you want to use them more?
>giving money to freetards
No because they are worse than Google when it comes to tracking and cucking.
No since their search results still blow ass compared to most others.
It's 2016, why aren't you programming functionally yet?
I don't know what that means.
>>54397154
Everyone is programming functionally though, moreso professionally unlike some /dpt/ memers
