Upgrading my pc, on a budget, 3 quick questions:
Does this case sound any good? (nice discount, I am in EU btw)
http://www.nox-xtreme.com/producto/hummer-zero/10/
PSU: CX Corsair 600 + i5 4660 + R9 380 Nitro
I know the CX line is only passable, but will it last in this build? Worth an extra 20euros for a seasonic?
Thanls a lot for your input
>>51572086
Case looks fine to me.
A CX 600 will get you by okay, but no upgrades from this GPU generation.
>>51572121
Thanks a lot, I got the most of the components during black friday sales, so I didnt have enough time to check for good reviews, but now I have read a ton of hate about the CX series. I believe this might be related to better rigs, but i was a bit worried. Thanks a lot.

Fine i'll bite.

It seems that madshi doesn't like mpv very much, but why?
he says it quite clearly in the post you linked:
"If I made my algorithms available to an open source project, I could just as well open source madVR itself. Which is not going to happen. The key reason why madVR is closed source is that I want users to use madVR, and not some other renderer. Open sourcing madVR means I would lose any quality or feature advantage that I might still have over other renderers, which means users wouldn't gain anything, anymore, by using madVR, which is the opposite of what I want."
>I could give you a detailed list of all quality differences, but if I gave you such a list, I already know that you'd forward it to the mpv devs to use as a checklist for their future development, so I'm not going to do that.
Kek. Trust me goyim keep using madvr for my epeen.

It is a commercial shit...

Fat nerds help me find a way to prevent my IP address from being compromised when using a specific program.
Install Gentoo
>>51571994
Already did over 9000 times.
Define compromised.
What jackass at Microsoft set Windows to wake itself up at 3AM to do random shit by default?
Fucking video started playing by itself in the dead of night. Fairly sure it's that shit Reboot in task schedule under UpdateOrchestrator, but I don't think it ever stays fucking disabled or deleted.
Thats what you get for keeping your pc connected to power.

This desu.
Pull teh cord desu.
this desu.
1080p @144hz vs 1440p @ 60hz
Which one do you prefer?
>>51571708
Gotta be smooth desu senpai
video games? 1080@144
not video games? 1440@60
though i'd just save up for 1440@144, which should become a bit more affordable in the next year or so
>>51571708
1440p Master Race. Also most monitors you can run them at higher refresh rates. Mine goes at 90Hz with no problems.
Dear /g/, I'm in need of help. Are any of you familiar with making themes for Windows 8/8.1? I want to get the Windows Vista taskbar background on my install, but maintain the default Aero theme for the rest of the OS. I just like the taskbar of Vista, is all.
No one has made a theme like that, so I'm stuck with trying to take pieces of already made themes like Vista VS and replace the images in the stock Aero theme. I've run into a problem:
I have yet to find a reliable theme editor. Be it Windows Style Builder, or simply using Resource Hacker/Restorator. Style Builder is not completely supported on 8.1 so some taskbar properties are missing, which leads to problem #2, so I end up with pic related. No one has written up a guide on where common image locations are in resource editors either, so if I were to look for that spot (and the systray) in an editor, I would have no idea where it is located out of thousands of entries.
Can anyone help me? I just need to figure out what image to replace here.
>>51571667

Use VS style builder, there's a torrent for it on pirate bay
>>51571917
that's what I'm using, but I can't seem to find these locations. I managed to find the actual systray but now I'm still stuck with the Start button area and the Toolbars area (where my network activity is)
It's very frustrating.
>>51571917
Get the fuck out of my thread you uneducated ricer.
I want real solutions.
If Java has such great garbage

If Java has such great garbage collection, why doesn't it collect OP's post?
>>51571485
Because it can't keep up with the Indians.
>>51571496
Because 4chan is written in PHP

Do you expect them to build it, warranty it, ship it for free?
It's a business, of course they are going to make money off your lazy, incompetent ass.
Gonna buy that beast look at those rad colors and that dank carbon, being a gamer is so great because we get all these amazing products!

Why do I bother? Unless you're in the printing and design industry this offers nothing over Word, does it?
If you don't write things with a fuck ton of math in it, don't bother.
You can 'fix' Word by adjusting the line spacing and kerning if you want.
>>51571446
It allows more control to the user than word/office, if your not planning on using thos functions then dont use it, if you need more freedom then use it.
Its just a tool like all other programs.
Stop being retarded OP and just think for a moment.

How much does contrast ratio and GTG response time mean?
I am in need of a new screen because the current one is passing away slowly.
Have been eyeing this beauty. Asus VS248HR. It's 180$.
I know right,
>TN panel
But every time I am to check screens, they are either out of my budget or don't have what I would wish for.
IPS screens have slow response times. How much does response time matter?
If they have high one, the contrast ratio and light emission is shit (like 200 cd/m^2).
If I get a screen with good emission, contrast and response, it's TN panel. Which has shit colours.
300$ (or €) is limes superior in my budget. 24" is the biggest I could handle, so these are harsh boundaries. Which screen should I pick up? (It should have a DVI connection. I know DisplayPort is out of my league.)
>>51571393
Lower response times means more blur on very fast moving scenes. Anything 4ms or less work well at 60Hz. Doesn't matter for desktop usage or work.
Higher contrast ratio means deeper blacks.
Generally, nobody uses more than 200 cd/m^2 unless they're in a super bright room. 350 cd/m^2 feel like looking at bright concrete on a sunny summer day.
Unless you're playing a lot of fast paced games, you should try to look at VA panels. If you're gaming, it has to be a display with a kind of adaptive sync (G-sync or Freesync). The tech is just too good to pass. DVI or DP doesn't matter. Most modern screens support DP, and most modern GPUs have a least a DP output. It's the superior choice, while DVI is a legacy connector.
>>51571680
The problem with modern screens, and the grave problem with *Sync is that it's really, really expensive.
Have been loking around shops for supply, the cheapest models are 500$+.
Get a TN if you're a gaymen.
Get an IPS if you watch a lot of movies/anime.
Also get an IPS if you code and plan to attach it to a swivel and move it around and use it in page orientation.
Simple as that.
Get a TN if you'll be coding always in album orientation.

hey /g/
so i was redoing my watercooling tubing the other day and got quite a bit of water on my gpu,
i left it dry, put it in some paper towels without the waterblock or backplate on
it worked for abou 1 1/2 hours while i was playing fallout but then the computer crashed,
no its not detecting it as anything and theres artifacting across the screen
can i do anything or did i just brick a 980ti?
>>51571223
That's what you get for doing a custom water loop.
>>51571223
If you didn't let it dry for at least 24 hours, then you bricked your shit.
>>51571257
like 36 hours and i padded the droplets off straight away
Didn't know what thread to ask so i'll keep this short.
What graphics card is the bare minimum to play games at max setting with 1080p 60fps?
Currently have 650ti Boost but it barely gets 50fps on medium settings playing Fallout 4.
380x
>>51571009
scratch that, even that isn't powerful enough.
Try 390
960 is meant for 1080p gaming. It's a great card. 970 if you want, but its a bit overkill

THANK YOU BASED INTEL
>>51570970
No mention of OC in article. Is that shit locked?
>>51571141
Indeed. No Pentium Anniversary this time.
We may see an unlocked i3 next year, though. Core 10th anniversary.
Skylake CPUs have "Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)" enabled, for those AUTISM faggots that must have VT-d
Allright /g/entlemen
I know you are loathe to do this, but i am at wits end. You guys are literally my final out.
So recently my PC has begun acting up, youtube videos will crash, with the "An error occured, please try again later", video games will randomly freeze completely for a few seconds.
I formatted yesterday to try and fix it, and it did, it ran the entirety of yesterday without any hitches, but then again today, its acting up again.
Anyone ever had anything like this?
TL;DR Halp my PC is being a piece of fucking shit.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
>>51570892
Update GPU drivers. If fully up to date, revert to most previous version.
>>51570950
Drivers are fully up to date, i have tried using the previous driver, and that seemed to work for a bit. but it fucked up again, auto update is off.
