My motherboard isn't on Qube's HCL
Could it still possibly work?
I have two monitors. If I try to play a game, like CSGO for example, and try put a youtube playlist in Firefox on the other monitor, the performance in game tanks.
CPU usage isn't even that high, it hovers between 20-30%, and my system is fairly high end. 2nd monitor is only 60Hz, don't know why Speccy says 144Hz for both.

1.Do packages for Ubuntu generally work on all Ubuntu-based distros or am I going to have to compile it myself from source?

![FileDownloadHandler[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/dS3Jsyv.jpg "FileDownloadHandler[1].jpg")
My computer crashes and gets the BSOD when idle for about 5-10 minutes.
It never does this otherwise.
I built it a year ago will all-new parts. About two weeks ago I added a new GPU to it, a GTX 960, and everything was going fine up until a few days ago.
It does not crash in safe mode.
You guys have taught me so much over the years, can you help me out one more time?

Not any worse than buying a brand new CPU. You could argue that someone planted a backdoor or whatever in the firmware but the same could be said for a stock CPU. Very few (as in percent of the population) has knowledge to do it so I wouldn't worry about it.
>>53591866
Most likely the graphics driver going full autism so try reinstalling it or install an older version.
>>53591784
Usually they do work on all ubuntu based distros.
Most distros come with a GUI package manager/installer that makes installing stuff very easy.
At max you might have to download a zip and run a few commands.
Linux these days is piss easy to use and you wont have to do crazy hard stuff. There are plenty of tutorials out there and you will get step by step guide of most things you will be wanting to do.

What do you suggest? I'm the "computer crashing while idle" guy.
I figured it was something to do with the drivers...should I try to install and older version and see if that fixes it?

Just got a rechargeable electric tooth, do I keep it charging in its stand? Won't that harm the battery?
>>53592361
Not that guy but I second his "most likely graphics driver" opinion.
Uninstall driver completely, should be doable in 5-10 min timeframe.
Reboot, windows should get you its own derpy-driver so you'll have a terrible resolution. Don't worry, it'll boot properly.
Don't install any other drivers, just test if you won't get any crashes with the derpy-windows-driver.
No crashes? Install another driver.
Still crashing? Something else is the cause. At this point your best bet is probably to reinstall OS (worrying considering it's already a fresh install, but still worth a try before assuming it's hardware-related).

Is cooler position like that efficient for air - cooling?
I also think I need to replace thermal paste, been more than a year - what should I get?

My hard drive is pretty old now, does it look like it'll die any time soon or does it seem alright?
>>53592583
>>53592601
If the fans at the top are outtake and CPU cooler blows upwards then it looks OK.
Otherwise it should will still work thanks to relatively good case airflow preventing accumulation of too much heat within the case, but *it wouldn't be optimal*.
You want to get rid of air from the HOT-HOT parts (CPU, GPU) ASAP to prevent it from being reabsorbed by other components.
>replace thermal paste, been more than a year
Replacing thermal paste is a procedure that's done once to replace the crap that CPU/GPU manufacturers provide for "free" for something with actual market-competitive thermal conductivity.
Maybe there are pastes that degrade over time, I dunno, but in general, thermal pastes work in the opposite manner, often needing to "set-in" over time before providing optimal conductivity.
It's also a good practice to replace thermal paste whenever it gets exposed (when you pull the cooler off the cooled component) to prevent "accumulation of tiny imperfections" so-to-say.
So if you already got good paste there (that's a Noctua cooler, they still give their TIM free with every cooler, right?) then you have absolutely no reason to change it just because "it's been there more than a year".
If you want to change it for something better, then I dunno. Do your own research. IMO Noctua's NT-H1 is good enough, no need to replace it.
>I guess it'll be fine.
Don't take it as granted.
Every part is different even if they are exactly the same model and produced in exactly the same batch. Do the proper incremental overclock->test->overclock->test routine.
Don't jump to 4.5 GHz from stock like a retard. It should be fine with that cooler but - again - don't take it as granted.

I have a 500gb hard drive and its split in 120 gb w10 partition because i wanted to test it out and a 380gb archlinux partition. I dont really use archlinux anymore and i was wondering if deleting archlinux and making it all one partition will slow it down. Im using bout half of the w10 partition and it boots unusually fast
What is the nearest thing to a waterproof laptop?
Or water resistant?
fanless 2-1 tablets?
>>53593451
No. System partition/drive capacity and system performance (be it boot speed or general cpu usage) are two metrics that are unrelated.
Closest things to that that are related are that on a larger partition you can have more stuff, and having more stuff can make it slower (more work for search indexer).
tl;dr: No. Having more empty space *will not* make it run slower. Having more *full* space may, but even then not necessarily.

I did a clean uninstall of the video drivers, then installed drivers from a month ago. Still getting the crash. I forgot to check if it crashes without any drivers but I'm guessing it will. Maybe I'll uninstall them again and check.

I'm assuming that "drivers from a month ago" weren't the same ones you just uninstalled.
No point uninstalling them again.
Try running in safe mode (no network to eliminate one more potential cause), see if it crashes there - let it run until first crash or for an hour.
>What else could it be?
Tons of shit, anon. Tons.
That's why it's best to test for drivers first because those are easily and most conveniently reinstallable.

Change motherboard for a GA-Z97X-UD5H or UD3H.

They are better, unless you use your PC for games its not worth it, the performance increase would be around 2-5% for $100 more.

>i7 over an i5
Moar cores.
If you're doing computationally heavy work on your PC (like datamining, gaming is NOT computationally heavy) then you get i7.
Alternatively, you get one if you want to impress your friends over at speccy threads and don't mind spending tons of $$$ for minimal practical gains.
Otherwise, you stick with i5.
>2 8gb ram sticks over 2 4gb ones
Twice the capacity. Meaning twice as much resources can be stuffed into the memory.
Again, crucial in things like datamining. For "normal" uses 8 GB sounds enough, if you have reasons to believe it's not enough for you then just get 16 GB and don't give it more thought.

Super-short non detailed explanations incoming:
Dual-channel means that ram sticks work best in pairs (2, 4, 6, 8 sticks) triple channel in threes (3, 6...) quad channel in fours (4, 8...).
RAMs will *work* together if they are same DDR (duh).
They work together *better* if they are same top frequency (all sticks have to run at same frequency, if you have 3 1600 MHz and one 1333 MHz, all will have to work at 1333 MHz)
They work *even better* together if they are the same model (eliminates compatibility issues that shouldn't happen in theory, but in practice they still do happen).
Yours is best case scenario. It will work perfectly.
>>53593816
I do not think this rig will be able to run Fallout.
>>53593817

Yes, it's common practice.
Just make sure not to screw anyone else's setting, who's sharing your network. (Pro tip: ask them, they probably know if they need ports forwarded to them).
>>53594118
Hence the disclaimer
>Super-short non detailed explanations
All RAMs can be set to run at lower timings, so timings-mismatch case is virtually same as the second one (*better*) I mentioned.
I knew I'd miss something, that's why I included the aforementioned "disclaimer".
Still, his case is still the "perfect" one, so my advice still stands strong.

So atm there is no driver support for second gen Intel CPUs. The next best thing you can try is to run the 8.1 driver in compatibility mode for 8.1

Hey /g/! I need your help!
Okay so my pretty old laptop (to give you an idea of its age, it came with Windows Vista installed on it) is not switching on anymore. I think the fan in it stopped working or something, because it has been getting really hot and switching off all of a sudden lately. Anyway I accept this loss, but I would like to get my files off the hard disk in there ideally (I didn't back up when I had the chance, I know, I know, I'm bad!). However being pretty much a technical novice I don't really know how to approach this. Do I just... put it in a caddy or something? Then what?
Thanks for the help and thanks for reading my words even if you don't help!

DMZ is overkill for a game, set up port forwarding for the specific ports it needs. Most developers have that information out there, just google the name and port forwarding.

This is why you dont buy seagate.
>>53594767
Alright thanks, I'll look into it a bit more and purchase it soon. Hopefully the dying drive will last for another month. Just got an SSD too.
>>53594391
I read something somewhere about port forwarding on the technicolor tg589vn not actually working
>>53594802
That drive will last more than a month even as a main OS HDD, but you will notice problems with it.
>>53594787
Is this possible in the trial version or should I pirate it?What data would it provide me with? I'd rather install things I'll keep. I hate trialware/shareware.
>>53594852
Another disk of mine was also failing. Was transferring my data/OS onto the SSD and one partition caused some errors. I bought my main drive 8 years ago and the one that seems to be failing some 6 years ago. Guess it's time.
>>53594921
Download HD Tune pro and do a read test if you want to avoid problems, 15 days trial but more than enough to test it.
Crack HD Sentinel if you will use it for a long time.
>>53591359
Holy shit I laughed
>>53594587
So you recommend running an HDD and SSD?
>>53595100
SSD for the OS and applications you use a lot, HDD for storing movies and stuff.
>>53594429
Get WD caviar blue. An SSD is a big improvement too.
How to use Emacs shortcuts?
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf
For example, how I type in the keyboard C-x C-f to read a file? It's the same as Control+x and Control+f? I don't understand.
I had some quirks with my front USB ports - they never really worked right all the time...so today I took them out, did basically nothing, and put it back together and now it works.
The only thing I actually did was some very light "sanding" with an emery board on the contacts, and reseat the connectors (which didn't seem to be improperly seated anyway). Is it weird that I feel like MacGuyver for pulling this off?
>>53595100
Yes, a lot.
SSD for OS and HDD for stoarge.
You wont be able to come back once you load everything instantaly and your OS boots under 15 seconds.
>>53595170
>It's the same as Control+x and Control+f?
Yes.
>>53595181
No. Working as intended.
>>53594236
You probably don't have to worry too much. I doubt it's NiCad. Probably shouldn't leave it on the charger all the time, but as long as it wasn't pricey as fuck, meh.
>>53595142
>>53595163
>>53595182
So do you think a 250gb would be enough? Or should I just go for a 500gb?
>>53594939
What else should I do? Well the drive is almost full (~20gb free) and I'll replace it in a month definitely, not worth losing all my data on there. Maybe freeing some space would help avoid/manage the bad sectors more aptly.
Why do freetards hate GUIs?
Even if you have incredible typing you save so much time with them.
>>53595501
256 should be no problems, I ran on 128GB for forever.
Just remember to move away huge files to your other disk.
>>53595501
240GB 850 EVO is just perfect for a OS HDD.
>>53595502
Free some space, the HDD wont fail soon but it will eventually.
There is nothing you can do, once a HDD starts failing it just keeps getting worse.
It will work as a secondary storage device for non important stuff later on if you want to keep using it.
>>53595561
That's too damn soon. Even if it is some 6 years old. I'll go with the 1TN WD black as a replacement. Maybe I'll get a cheap $50 WD for backups too.
Thanks for all the help and input anon, much appreciated.
>>53595651
You can get a WD Blue if you want too, you dont really need a WD Black, but if you can pay it why not?

Download the Windows 8.1 ISO from here:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/59229-Windows-8-1-x86-x64-ISO-Download-ALL-VERSION-LANG-HTTP-links
Get a program to make your USB bootable with the iso.
(Rufus or unebootin).
Then boot from your USB and reinstall windows 8.1.
You will lose the stuff you have so you might want to backup everything with a linux USB.
What happened is that dell backup software fucked up your windows partition trying to restore 8.1 when 10 was installed.
>>53596544
Do you have a disk? Usually they provide one, rarely it's some kind of gimped version that might rely on a partition or something. Which is bullshit.

I'm drunk, and wasn't thinking straight. That doesn't actually back up stuff, just makes it so when you open a file it redirects. I used it to run ten copies of steam off the same folder when idling was still a thing. Woulda sworn there was a way to do the inverse without using file history. But again, I'm drunk and barely tech literate.

Question I haven't been able to find an answer to online:
Does anyone know how to make the touch keyboard on windows (happened on 8.1 & 10) tablets popup automatically as soon as a textbox is selected in desktop mode? It just randomly stopped one day and is quite annoying to have to do it manually.
Someone online said microsoft programmed it to only work in metro apps, because they assumed keyboard & mouse would be used in desktop mode, but that wasn't the case for me when I first got the tablet
>>53596789
Its on the accessibility options in windows 8.1.
Its on by default if im not wrong.
Also when you reinstall windows you might have to reinstall some drivers.
Download 3DPN for network drivers if windows 8.1 doesnt install them from the start and 3DP Chip for all the others.
>>53596474
Winamp. Can wirelessly sync with your android phone (winamp player for android -- not on the google playstore). Has shoutcast too when you're bored of music. Indexes everything once and does it right. Indexes movies and videos as well, unlike foobar. Foobar is way more customizable, though you get a shit bear-bones skin at first.

No problem, if you need help just ask but installing windows is somewhat easy.

Also your key is on the back of your laptop
I'm trying to ditch windows for ubuntu and playing around with it in a VM for a few days.
I just tried to clean up the install and reduce its footprint a bit and upon reboot the screen just stays black.
So how the fuck do you start troubleshooting linux? Theres no error message or anything.

No better alternatives then? I guess I'll go for it thanks.

The program "Cheat Engine" has a "Speed Hack" feature that allows you to speed up - slow down the gameplay of any game you apply it too.
Would this feature be advantageous during online gameplay?

struct Obj
{
V data;
}
}
I want V to be Obj*. But I'm having some issues.typename Cont<bool>::Obj
...is how I'd usually refer to this sort of thing. But now I encountertypename Cont<Cont<Cont< ... Obj*> ... >>::Obj
That is, I'd have to nest it indefinitely! Surely there's a way around this, right? It's not and option just to add an member of type Obj* to Obj.
Are images kill for anyone else?
>>53597331
No, most anti-cheat engines detect speedhacks and close the game.
Still client side operations wont match the server side ones so nothing would happen.

Say I want to upload a video to Youtube......
From what I've heard, Youtube transcodes any videos above 2000bps. So say I want to upload a video that's 60FPS--would I theoretically get better video quality if I did 30FPS at 1080P, than if I did 60FPS at a lower resolution, assuming both are using the same bitrate?

Poorfag here and im trying to build a pc to replace my old one
I'm in huge dilemma right now, i already have my list but i can only buy two or three parts every month.
Should i buy one by one every month or save money for the next 3 months and buy everything in one blow?
>>53597749
Save money until you can buy the whole PC. By then, some newer parts will have showed up or your choices will have become cheaper.
>>53597331
even if it wasn't detected, you'd likely desync yourself from the server, though i suppose it'd depend on the game
>>53597749
If you have no rush buy as soon you see something under 5% of the original price or a better part that is under 10% and is better than the one you current selected.
Example, a I5-4460 is $130 here, and the price gets reduced to $115, you buy it then.
BUT, the I5-4590 got a discount too and now is $130, then get the I5-4590.
Its all about stalking offers around newegg and amazon, if you dont have the money to buy it all right now just wait and look for offers.
Or save and get better parts.

framerate doesn't linearly change the complexity of a video encode, that is, a 60fps encode vs. a 30fps encode of the same source won't necessarily need twice the bitrate at a given per-frame quality
while there's twice as many frames to encode, the difference between the frames is lower, making them more predictable
same goes with resolution, twice the resolution doesn't necessarily require twice the bitrate
it's all down to the content, do some test encodes locally of the video(s) in question and see what results you get

>>53592624
If it's the v2 psu and your processor draws under 100w you should be way more than fine. Peak TDP 2 390s should be around 575w. for If it's not v2, I personally wouldn't risk it. V2 is made by seasonic, so could probably handled 800w if it really had to.
