Should I upgrade my CPU or my graphics card?
I'm using an i5 quadcore at 3.4ghz per core, and a 7870 2gb Tahiti LE super wanker something or other at roughly 1130mhz clock speed
The GPU is rather potent for 1080p gaymen but its rather loud and runs somewhat hot
>>52051652
upgrade both. get a xeon 18 core and two titan x's
I got a Samsung Galaxy tab s2 for christmas. What do i do with it? I already have a smartphone what can the tablet offer that i dont already have besides a bigger screen? The only thing i've done so far is watch anime on it. I'm not sure how i feel about reading off of it because i have physical books and i prefer them.
Having a hard time picking out what TV to buy, got a 500-600 euro budget and looking for a 1080p 40inch+
TV will mostly be used for watching TV shows and movies, will also be buying a PS4 for my sibling as they stay at my house when they're finished school for a few hours.
Any recommendations or what to look for specifically? Goggling around only find me shilled reviews with very little comparison.

Got an Acer V5-571, specs are: i3 2367M 1.8GHz CPU; 8GB RAM; 15.6 1366x768 (extremely blue, made me feel sick) screen; Mobile Intel HM77 Express GPU. £220. It seems quite good but I don't know if I should swap it for a Thinkpad T430 (£250). It'd be a hassle, want to know if it'd worth it or if this is fine. I also don't know if I should trust something from eBay without a warranty.
i just got 4 random emails from yahoo japan. entirely in moonrunes except the parts that show my email address. the first email looks sort of like a sign up email would for a forum or something where you click a random link. now, i've never had yahoo. the account in question is my gmail for my phone, which i use literally only for my phone. its not a personal email and ive never signed up for anything with this one. its literally only for my phone. i changed my pw from my comp and immediately got notified on my phone that i had logged in from my comp. so if that was set to do that, if someone else had logged in id get a notification right? so i just marked them as spam and changed my pw, am i safe? why was my random ass account that i never use for anything targeted?
>>52052485
I'm not very tech savvy how would i go about doing that
>>52052470
i'd still recommend dual-booting w10 and GNU/Linux though. if you can read a manual you could also use w10 in a vm inside GNU/Linux and do a gpu passthrough. the 4460 supports vt-d so it should work. other than the spying, the "suggestions" and the BSODs from time to time win10 isn't too bad. >>52052529

I know about the gpu passthrough thing but I just happen to have a specific set of hardware that would be terrible for it.
Basically, my motherboard has only a VGA port and my monitor has a native resolution of 2560x1080 which ain't supported by that (and would require an adapter anyways). It also has only one PCIe x16 port. In order to do that I only have three options:
1. Buy a new gpu exclusively for linux (a really low profile gpu that doesn't require anything but a PCIe 2x port)
2. Plug an older monitor (1680x1050@120hz) and use it with linux, while using my newer ultrawide monitor with that VM. It feels weird to use linux as host with an inferior monitor.
3. Buy a new motherboard. This was an oversight on my part to be fair.

/g/ I need tech support help on Windows tablets/laptops
I've currently got an Asus T100, it's a tablet, has an Intel Atom processor and for a while I've pretty much been using it as my primary device. I'm on a Computing/Engineering course though and think it's time to upgrade to something that will hopefully suffice for that course and handle more intensive tasks as well as some vidya, even if it is on lower settings. Most of the time I'll probably just be using it casually but I'm hoping for something that will suffice for the next few years. I'm really hoping for a new device rather than used/refurbished.
My budget is probably around £600, but I've been out of the tablet and latop loop for so long I really don't know where to look. Ideally I'd want something around 13" but no smaller than 10.1" and fanless, because I've grown accustomed to a small form factor and it'd be nice if it functioned as a tablet as well
I've had a look at the Asus T300 Chi and it seems pretty damn good, but the reportedly poor battery life (I'd prefer around 7 or 8 hours at least) and lack of a proper USB port put me off. I'd be fine with something like the Lenovo Yoga, but I just don't know what's what. The Pro 2 is pretty expensive and I've seen some say the 300 isn't really capable of much outside casual use. I had a look at the Yoga 700 11.6" but reviews are pretty non existent so I've no real idea on it's capability
Any help?
TL;DR want a capable 2 in 1 Windows machine/ultrabook for around £600 with decent battery life

Alright, I have a question regarding SLI. As we know, not many games use SLI efficiently, some even working worse with more than one. However, I've also read that, at least as of 2013, having a dedicated PhysX card can help, especially if the game in question has poor SLI support (like Arkham Knight).
So, let's say that I had money to blow, and bought two 980 TIs. And let's suppose I want to use them in SLI for game X, which it benefits from, and use them as one main GPU and one PhysX GPU in game Y. Can this be done on a game to game basis? Can I keep the SLI bridge connected, or must it be disconnected first? I understand that few games support SLI, and few games are plugged to the ass with PhysX, but this is just a potential scenario.

Tech iliterate here... Is it hard to install a pirate version of Windows 7? Any steps or tips when doing so?
>>52053009
A stereo system won't play with a sub, so no
>>52053098
Well, I'm going by this, which says it's a case by case situation.
http://www.volnapc.com/all-posts/how-much-difference-does-a-dedicated-physx-card-make
In this pic, having one Titan as a PhysX card and another as the main GPU performs worse than two Titans in SLI, but that's in the absolute highest framerates. Otherwise, this beats the SLI configuration in the minimum and average framerate tests.
Again, this is old, hence why I'm asking.

Download the iso from ms website, install, activate with mstoolkit. Or you could just install GNU/Linux.
>>52053101
It usually is exactly the same as regular windows, except for perhaps a splash screen.
Torrents everywhere.
>>52053157
general advice - do not bother with SLi/CF if you can afford upgrade every year
>>52053101
You can download and burn a copy of Windows 7 from the official MS website. When it asks you for a key, you can just press the skip button and it allows you to finish the installation. Once you get this done, you need to download and run DazLoader 2.2.1, as that's the version that works for me.
HOWEVER! Your motherboard must support BIOS mode and NOT UEFI. Attempting to use 2.2.1 on a UEFI motherboard will tell you that the partitioned space is not compatible with the installer.

Search on plebbit. Also, whatever has the most reviews on Amazon is usually a good choice, and if not, someone will probably recommend something better in the reviews. After finding the right pick, look around for lower prices, because Amazon isn't always the lowest just because it is a good place to read reviews.
So I got this GPU (Asus Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II TOP) and most games give me temperatures of 70c or less. I'm playing something like Assassin's Creed Syndicate (which to be fair I'm not going to be playing anymore) and that shit kicks it up to 80c in about an hour of usage.
Is that temperature normal? I'm using pic related. I'm wondering if my best bet is to underclock the thing. Also I notice that fans never go higher than 40%.

GNU/Linux is a primary target for virus creators because of the amount of servers running it. it's just harder to make one because it has package managers, password authentication for system critical things and security holes are fixed way faster.
>>52054754
yes and "yes and no"
linux is more secure because you basically have to write sudo and a password every time you want to do something important like >>52054814 says, but that poster is bullshitting about it being the primary target, even though it's probably the primary SERVER OS target

The easiest way to crack a system is to trick its user rather than exploiting OS logic. Most botnets are composed of Windows machines because it's a magnet for normies.

Guys, I have two computers running win10, connected by a crossover cable. I there a way to give them both access to all each other's files and drives, without having to do something crazy like setting full control to everyone for the entire drives (C:, D: and so on) on the network sharing options?

The homegroup thing might kinda work, but I want to give access to the entire drives, not just specific folders. There must be a less convoluted way of doing this, I suppose...

Seagate.
Another question, this current one, can I just plug it in and be good to go or will I have to transfer everything over with a flash drive?
I'm looking for a new GPU, but I'm an indecisive cunt. What's a good option for 1080p? Budget is up to $300, maybe a bit more.
Something relatively quiet would be preferable.
>>52055606
so you have a hard drive already or is it a SSD?
You want at least one SSD f or the OS and your existing HDDs as storage.
It's highly recommended to do a fresh installation then.
If you keep the HDD you can just plug it in, but depending on how much of your system has changed it might not boot or needs some drivers first.
>>52055630
r9 390 asus strix is quiet and good. 380x if you don't need ultra settings in the newest games.
>>52055659
The plan is to also buy an SSD, install Win 7 via flashdrive afterwards simply plugging this HDD into the new system.
Would that work?
>>52055630
For your budget, get either a 380X (much better option than the 960) or a 390 (better option than a 970).
You can also see if you can find a 290 or 290X, which you can find with decent discounts now, but do not buy reference versions of this (the ones with the blower cooler) since they have temperature and noise issues.

Is windows 10 really that bad?
I was going to reinstall Windows 7 thanks to some stupid bugs in the Nvidia drivers, but digital river is down and i don't trust any other website.
How much pc/bandwidth resources do telemetry takes?
>>52055932
Yeah they're for 130 usd now, and that's what I was thinking about the boxing day, but I'm guessing this price is already including that; or boxing week or whatever
any pros and cons you'd say about them?
portability nice? length of cable? sound overall? comfort (ignoring the clamp story, I tried them and although didn't get to test their sound the clamping wasn't as I expected it to be by reading over /g/.
>>52055940
no it isn't, /g/ is just retarded sometimes.
insignificant to none.
>>52055982
Thanks. I really do not have problems with microsoft spying what i do. But i have a problem if telemetry fucks my performance.
>>52055940
if you don't mind occasional BSODs, MS spying, "recommendations" in the start menu and a shitty window manager windows 10 is the right choice for you.

I got this nexus 6p last month and i don't really use it that much but i can see it jittering sometimes when i scroll up and down.

380x looks great and I could probably ultra things if I didn't mind hitting 30-40fps. 390 looks fantastic, but I've heard that it's loud as fuck. I've also heard the temps get pretty high, which will probably be an issue in the summer as my house also gets hot as fuck.
Still indecisive, but you're helped me narrow it down. Thanks, /g/.

I've been using pic related for digitizing/listening to records for a while. It allows me to hear audio output coming from my PC as well, which makes managing my whole setup a lot more convenient. It's recently been dropping the phono input over short periods of time, and I'm think of getting it repaired or replaced. But before I do that, is there anything that's capable of performing the same specific task?

I recently returned from a semester in Europe and for some reason my browser's time refuses to return to my current time zone.

I wanted to try cleaning underneath my keyboard, so I took one key off to make sure I could get it back on. I can't get it back on.

Trying to figure out how a video could be outputted directly to a certain device, without being viewed within an OS.
eg. The display device detects signals of raw video, but not the OS being the video source.
Some kind of a way to ensure the best image possible, etc, what ever it is they do in a movie theater.
So I got a Sony surround sound bar (model number HT-CT180) for my small apartment. My tv is a Sony, my bluray player is a Sony. With this soundbar, I was hoping to have a sort product unity with this thing.
With that, I was hoping that it would have some feature where it could just sync up with the other devices. Like, I could just use the TV remote to operate the volume of the soundbar like I could as easily with the bluray remote to the TV.
Product specifications are http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/sound-bars/ht-ct180/specifications
Now, I can't tell if I'm just retarded, but don't seem to be able to get some sort of effect of operating everything with one remote.
Does that feature have some sort of fancy name?
Does this particular soundbar even have that feature?
Two things of note: of the two connectors this thing has (an optical out and a regular 3.5 headphone jack out), I have it plugged into the Optical.
The other: I got this easily at a Walmart, but there seems to be little-to-no information on this particular model on the internet.
Is this some sort of shit-variant that Sony made for pleb-tier Walmart customers or something? There's practically no helpful documentation.
>>52057284
it should go back on if you press on it a little harder.
There's no standard for scissor switches and they're often easy to break. Cleaning under them is not something people do, even if they're experienced.
>>52057200
fug, I meant >>52057180
>>52057356
Take it off you need to hook the other side on first...
Once you "hook" that hinge on you just press down and the part you have attached now just snaps on.
>>52057284
press it harder
>>52057369
Don't listen to this dumbass you WILL break it if you do.

If your case is like http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/cases/bitfenix-comrade-case-review/ and has the standoffs built in, you don't need the screws. And yea, it doesn't matter if they're both metal

Shut down computer. Unplug PSU cables from GPU.
Boot. Go to BIOS.
Force CPU graphics.
Shut down computer. Plug cables back into GPU.
Boot. Check PCI configurations, usually marked under system agent. If nothing is there, the card isn't being detected.
If card is detected, proceed to OS. Use DDU to uninstall old GPU driver. DO NOT REMOVE INTEL GPU DRIVER.
Download and install new GPU driver.
Reboot. Return to BIOS, change force CPU graphics to auto or PCI-E.
Reboot again. Unplug HDMI from mobo, stick to GPU port. Done.

Trying to rip a game's ost using VGM Toolbox from this guide: http://dbxvmods.freeforums.net/thread/137/anyway-rip-voice-files
My problem is that no folder is created at all when draging the .awb file into the blank space for the following steps in that link:
>4 - Drag and Drop the [BIRD_BGM.awb] Into the [File to search] blank space > Screenshot : img15.hostingpics.net/pics/221345Sanstitre1.jpg
>5 - Wait for [searching string to complete].
>6 - There will be a new folder named [BIRD_BGM_CUT] who contain all the music tracks encrypted in [.hca].
Any way to get around this? Also, I managed to use another tool to get the .hca files out of the .awb but they just sound like nothing but high frequencies, even when converting them to .wav, so it could be the other tool was shit or it indeed worked but I need to configure something in Audacity to hear them but what exactly do I need to do?
