How good is this CPU?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/?tag=pcpapi-20
PCPartpicker says my build uses 237 watts, but I want to use this for games and to have it for the future. However, some reviews says this PSU is bad, and I want a good PSU to use, no matter if I'll have to replace it in future upgrades or not.
So here's the question if I didn't make it clear? Is this PSU good, if not, what would be a good, similar or lower wattage, PSU that would be of higher quality within the same price as the one posted.
I live in a desert where we hit 42-48+°C in summer, should i get a 212 evo for a I5-4460?
What are some good H97 motherboards? im planning to get a Z97 but they have been out stock for 4 months and no sing for them to be in stock any second now.
They both are the same price if not more expensive where i live because third world country retarded prices.

Get a EVGA 650 G1 instead.
Gold rated, better quality, more popular but this doesnt matter and cheaper if not the same price.

No, 1GB is, depends mostly on the phone and the bloatware you cant remove and what you want to do with it.
i currently have 16 GB of 1600mhz ram, is it time to upgrade, even when i'm not doing much its at nearl 80% and when i am doing something (games, vms etc) its nearly at capacity. if so any suggestions, ausfag here

verizonfag here.
I want to save some money by shutting down my home isp for a while, plan to live in nothing but mobile data. I plan to switch to boost mobile and drop verizon as well.
Anyway is there a "hard" limit to the unlimited lte plan (100, 200, 500 gb) where boost just plain shuts you down internet access or is it really "unlimited"? Plan to torrent and watch netflix all day on my phone so data usage will be pretty high.
>tl;dr = r8, h8, and appreci8. Pls gibe feedback on the choice of mobo.
So I'm building a computer (no duh) with a focus on mid-tier specs/price, good longevity, and a motherboard that can handle incremental upgrades.
Here's what I plan to buy initially (I already have a mouse and monitor):
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WMtwMp
And here's how I plan to upgrade when I get the money for it (which is soon, probably):
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VzwTvK
I feel contented in everything except the choice of motherboard. It's basically the most expensive of the choices I looked at, so anything below its price range is a welcome suggestion. I've heard MSI is the best brand of mobo; thoughts?
The build's going to be used mainly for 1080p video capture, consumption, stream broadcasting, and commercial-grade editing. The reason I plan to staple a 970 onto this ensemble at some point is to help with a dual-monitor setup, and in case any future AAA or VR games catch my eye. As for now though, the most demanding game I'd want to play regularly is Civilization V (which, incidentally, is hard to find benchmarks for because screw the cawadoody r4z0rmau5 gay men audience).
I guess that's it. Pardon the wall of text.

Save.
If you wont overclock dont get a UD5, get a GA-Z170XP-SLI, cheaper and get the 212 EVO.
UD5 is more like for really rough overclocking.
Trust me, once you place the CPU you dont wanna remove the HSF for another, get a good one from the start.
Save and get a 240GB 850 EVO, its worth it.
Welp it finally happened I fell for the close loop meme.
Anyway, can someone with experience with one of those tell me what are the safe temperatures for the liquid coolant temperatures?
With a custom fan curve low rpm to minimize noise My CPU stays under 50ºC under load but the coolant goes above 40ºC
CPU isn't a problem it can even hit 60ºC and I don't have to worry but 40ºC on the pump and reservoir makes me worry, is that normal working temperatures for this kind of closed loops?

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I'd like to overclock the GPU and the RAM if possible, as well as the CPU if I choose to upgrade it to a 6700K or 6900K(lol) down the line. Maybe I should just get a 66K now and hold out for the 69?
I'm not wanting for storage, just speed, so I'll consider a 120G-850.

Get a 6600K, a I7-6700K would be nice for what are you going to use your PC for if you dont have budget problems.
You cant overclock with your current 6500.
The problem is that 120GB is not enough as a main SSD, dont underestimate how fast you can fill 120GB.
User folder gets big really fast and you wont notice it.
Also the 850 EVO for reliability over the SSD Plus.

cheers man i got it, thanks
>>54078096
I feel like I'm going to spend more on this than I anticipated. I don't really have budget problems, but this is coming out of my late dad's inheritance, so I can't help but feel miserly.
I knew about the 6500 not being overclockable. Shame about that hotfix. I may just go with the 67K and a 240G-850 then. Thanks again.
>>54078193
Well a good PC should last you 4-5 years so its worth it.
You should wait and get the GPU later.
Just try to readjust your budget if you feel like you are spending a lot and use PCpartpicker to get cheaper prices.
>>54078230
Cool. Seems like there'll be a ~$300 Pascal card by the summer, so that's good.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sWb4XL
Here's my second pass through, if you or anyone else is still awake to see it. I switched to RAM with a heat spreader for better optimization (too bad it's out of stock), and I feel confident about every other part.
>>54078609
Check the price of the GA-Z170X-UD3, should be cheaper.
Also you wont get a huge benefit from overclocking RAM in most programs, it is already fast.
Also RAM is RAM, dont spend a lot on it.

Little to nothing, random read speeds and I/O are more important.

Is 32GB enough for a smartphone
>>54079490
You could see if the torrent client stores it in some file you can port over, and if the Ubuntu version will read it. Why care though? It doesn't reset the ratio the tracker sees for you, just the one you see in the window until you remove the torrent.
>>54079505
Is it enough for YOU? If you want to store 20 GB of movies, music, games, apps, etc., then it's enough. If you want to store 40 GB of shit, you should spring for the 64 GB version or one with an SD slot.

>>54079494

Aren't all tweets public by default? I can see no privacy.
>>54079518
>It doesn't reset the ratio the tracker sees for you, just the one you see in the window until you remove the torrent.
!!!!!???????
How the tracker knows who am I, if I change the client and OS?
>>54079582
It's the job of a tracker to keep track of that.
If it's not a private tracker, it doesn't matter either way though.
>>54079582
By the key in the torrent file. When you download from a private tracker, they put some key unique to your account in the .torrent file you get. This is sent back to the tracker every time your client checks in.
This is also why you get fucked if you share a .torrent from a private tracker here -- loads of people download it and immediately stop seeing, all of it is tallied to your account, and your good ratio is history.
If you port over the downloaded files and even redownload the .torrent files from the tracker to seed those torrents, you'll keep and add to your ratio all the same. Your client will see the data files there if they're the same name, in the right dir, and intact. (You can also use this technique to fix the corrupted parts of files if they get damaged by, eg, bad sectors on your disk. If most of a file is good but some blocks are bad, the torrent client will only redownload the bad blocks.)
>>54079654
>If it's not a private tracker, it doesn't matter either way though.
They are all public.
Why the ratio doesn't matter for public trackers?? Isn't it their job too?
>>54079571
There are still a few measures in place. For instance, if you @ somebody, only people who follow both of you can read that tweet unless you format it as .@somebody. Also, they show you in the tutorial thing how to set up a protected page where your tweets aren't public by default.
But in terms of metadata NSA shit, yeah, of course the Library of Congress can still find your tweets without a warrant no matter what because lolamerica
>>54079680
Public trackers don't know or care who you are. All they can see from you is your IP, so yes they could potentially track a ratio for everyone at your IP as a group. But they don't, and you are neither punished if you leech and ditch nor rewarded if you seed for a year.

What is a good addon for viewing youtube videos blocked in my country?
Can anyone help me with an audio issue?
I just got my first rig and forgot to buy speakers for it. So I've hooked my desktop up to my stereo with an optical audio cable, but am getting no sound output.
I opened the sound menu, and if I test Realtek Digital Output, it works through the speakers, so they are connected properly. But no other sounds play, ie those from youtube or vidya.
>>54079739
Nevermind, I fixed it. Just set the Realtek output as default. I didn't notice that option earlier.
>>54079732
a VPN
I'd like to be proven wrong, but I believe it determines your country from your IP, and that's all on the server side so you can't get around it other than by making your IP be one in another country.
>>54079739
Set default sound device. By default it outputs to the green speaker jack ("headphone/speaker" or whatever).

Hm, I was thinking they could get the ratio from my client, because, several years ago, when I started using torrents, some dumb people were talking about cheating ratio to get torrents quickier.
>>54079696
Wasn't the Library of Congress archiving only public tweets? Anyone can do that. Which is the relation they have with NSA?
>>54079765
>I'd like to be proven wrong, but I believe it determines your country from your IP, and that's all on the server side so you can't get around it other than by making your IP be one in another country.
Completely right.
>>54079771
Well then you don't need to give a flying fuck about your ratio since it isn't even tracked apart from the number your client shows you, but that's just for your own information and doesn't do anything. Seed if you want to be nice, but don't worry about the ratio starting back at nothing when you re-import the torrents.
>>54079772
Using a proxy in your browser will work too. Note though that all free proxies are slow flaky pieces of shit since they get effectively DDOS'd by all the users the instant they're posted in public lists.
>>54079780
GIMP.
>>54079795
There is some consideration by other clients on whether to send you blocks quickly based on whether you're uploading on the torrent or severely throttling other leechers' downloads from you. But iirc that's more to do with whether you've set a low upload bandwidth limit than if you've faithfully seeded other torrents for ages.

OTOH if you don't use other Google services or use it in private browsing, they see about as much as any map service.

Try it and see. It's not like any of those sizes are anything compared to a modern drive. Also, those sizes are a good deal smaller than your used disk space if you install everything that's on the disc. It's compressed.

>>54080526
lol...
you havent posted your room set up at all, no measurements or anything. Plus these are monitors so youre going to get a flat sound, which isnt bad but means action scenes in particular will sound shit because these are tiny and have no base. 7.1 is a meme and almost nothing is mastered in it
>>54080550

so utterly ridiculous
>>54080584
i dunno man, average size could mean anything. Ill assume your room is 5 x 4 meters and say youre not going to need just speakers but also a 2ch amp.
Honestly if you want monitors for movies your going to want at least a 7 inch driver.
Otherwise a 2.1 system might be the best bet.
Another problem with monitors is they need to be on stands or else they will sound god awful depending on height issues
>>54080643
I'm not a fan of bass and I'm just using my TV's inbuilt speakers right now, so shouldn't those monitors still be a marked improvement?

What are the best smartphones for ~200€ ?
>>54080806
Need to buy a phone since my Lumia battery life is shit now with windows 10 and the screen is not responsive enough.
Looking for android device, up to 380$ MAX, would prefer 300$ max but I can go higher.
I want it to look nice and have good screen, would prefer AMOLED because of darker blacks(NO SAMSUNG PLZ), but I'll be fine with ISP if it's LG G4 or HTC
I really don't know what to get.
I just know how much money I can spend on the phone and the things I want which is good screen, power bank battery, solid speed and a lot of storage.
HELP PLZ SENPAI

Nexus 5X has an excellent display but it's not OLED.
Oneplus X is an option if you want OLED.
Samsung phones have the best OLED displays though.

You either use American botnet or Russian botnet depending on where you live, since NSA/FSB probably don't share backdoor info with eachother.
Is there anything wrong with this build? I'm looking to make a mid tier gaming PC for less than $800 (monitor + Windows included). Should I spend more money on a motherboard so it would be compatible with future upgrades of other components for longer? I haven't been paying attention to anything /g/ related for a while, is there any reason I should hold out for anything being released soon?
>>54081007
Quite a bit.
>Kingston V300
Garbage SSD, uses crappy synchronous NAND.
>ASUS VS228T
TN display, garbage. Pony up for an IPS panel. You can get the Acer H236HL for $150~.
>FX-4350
Don't do that. Get a cheap Intel chip instead, AM3 is dead.
>XFX 380
Go for Sapphire if you can.
>Corsair CX600
Corsair CX units are mediocre and sometimes garbage. Get an EVGA, XFX, Antec or Seasonic unit instead.
>Corsiar Spec-03
This is subjective but I think the Carbide 100R is nicer looking.

Also, if you're on a strict budget, why not pirate Windows? Don't be a faggot.
>>54081037
Thanks!
>>54081048
I'm as straight edge as it gets. The only time I tried to pirate stuff, I got an email from my ISP saying if I do it again they'll cut off my service. I'd rather just stick to Linux gaming until I can afford a Windows license kek.
I've been using a WD Blue 1TB HDD for five years now.
Is it going to die soon? Should I replace it? I'm reading all this stuff about drive failures and I'm getting paranoid.
>>54081103
Your drive could last 5 more years or it could last 5 more minutes.
Always assume your drive is going to fail tomorrow and back up accordingly.
>>54081074
Instead of the Kingston SSD, get a Sandisk. I'm pretty sure they have a cheap 120GB drive which is about the same price as the Kingston but it's much better.
As for the CPU, an i3-6100 is an excellent chip if you can afford it, otherwise the G4400 will do until you can upgrade down the road. But try to shoot for the i3-6100 because it's great for gaming at its price.
Now if you're dead set on buying Windows I can't stop you, but let me just explain how easy it is to see if it'll change your mind:
>get Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's website; this will download Windows 10 to your USB and make a bootable installer
>install Windows on your new machine
>grab Microsoft Toolkit from the official MDL thread (google "microsoft toolkit mdl"); there's a magnet link on the page
>run it, click install under the product key tab then install under the activation tab with the drop down menu set to "AutoKMS"
Donezo. Permanently activated W10.

Are the mechanical keyboards sold on massdrop any worth a look?
>>54081284
better off finding them from an actual retailer unless you want to wait over a month for shipping.
>>54081295
ok I get that, but what I meant was the the selection they have. Are they any worth?
>>54081138
Not that anon but do you think dual-booting windows 7 and 10 is a good idea? I have a 250GB SSD and I only have about 100GB of free space left. I can install Windows 10 on a different drive maybe ... should I? I'd rather have an activated windows 10 installation while it's still possible, just in case I'd need it.
Is it possible to uninstall a Windows 10 license from one computer and install it on another?
>>54081311
Looks like they killed thier guest sign in URL and I cba to create an account.
I heard the magicforce68 key was good for its price and on there recently, but massdrop is shit to begin with.
Keep in mind, Their entire 'selection' of items are all usually garbage you don't need, submitted by idiots, and then bulk ordered from china. The pries usually end up being only 5%-10 cheaper than buying directly yourself as they lie about market value so you can't even rely on them for comparing on pricing either.
looking to get a new phone. im not a power user so I dont give a shit about gaming/graphics, or gimmicks like finger print scanners, just want it to be reliable and especially the gps.
here is what ive come down to so far:
> asus zenfone 2 (laser ze550kl) - $223
> nexus 5x - $314
> oneplus x (flashed to oxygen os) - $297
which shall I buy?
>>54081393
Ahh ok so it's a no go for mechanical keyboards. Thanks for clearing that up.
>>54081388
Depends on what the license is.
If you have an OEM copy of Windows you can't - not officially anyway. It's tied to the machine. But if you go through the activation process and call them up you might get the hookup anyway. I did.
The free Windows 10 update is OEM. If you have a retail version of Windows that you've upgraded to Windows 10 you have to downgrade to your older version of Windows, install that version on the new machine and upgrade it again.
Or you can just crack it.
What keyboard is that? 0:50

I live in a dorm, and my thinkpad doesn't get proper wifi connection on my bed, with a direct line of sight to my router. Like, depending on where on the bed, a packet loss of 20-90%.

Windows Movie Maker can't edit any .avi videos I make with fraps. It seems to be fraps specifically because other avi files can be edited in wmm. I've read things about the right codecs, but I've made sure to have all of them installed. Any ideas?
And short of that, is there a F(OSS) alternative in terms of video editors or indeed video capture?
Guys I have a problem in converting a pdf into images. I have used an online tool before and everything went fine, but with this file all the images converted looks like thumbnails. The strange thing is that if I open the pdf itself the resolution is fine (yes it's magnified to the page but the resolution is more then fine). The only solution I have is to screen every page one by one, but is a light novel and screen 250 pages is not fun at all.
Also, if some of you know some good pdf into images converter. I have some stuff that excedess the memory limits of the online tools.
Thank for the help in advance, have a wallpaper.

>recording with FRAPS
Let us take a moment to admire this quaint little occasion.
Now, I recommend recording with OBS instead (specifically, to H.264 in lossless mode).
AVI is an old shit of a container. Good luck working with that nonsense.

Did anybody have problems with the latest 2 Nvidia drivers? I bought my PC a couple of weeks ago and just had the last two, but I have constant 1-2 second frame drops in every game. It is not overheating and it is not the RAM or VRAM issue because the same thing happens on low and on ultra, it doesn't matter.
I have 364.72 currently, can I remove this one and install the 362.00? Do you think that could be the reason for my drops?
>>54081694
Use ImageMagick
convert file.pdf file.png
Done.
>>54081687
stop using WMM.
stop using avi.
stop using fraps.
stop living in 2006.
>>54081702
It never occurred to me to use OBS; the only reason I still use fraps is because it's a click and a button away from on the fly recording to get situations like this which can't exactly wait.
Can OBS offer me that? I've used it for streaming, but in my experience you'll need things set up in advance.
>>54081670
Change your WiFi channel.
>>54081396
I'd get Nexus 5x
Would a SanDisk SSD Plus be a good upgrade from a WD HDD?
>>54081745
I welcome suggestions for alternatives. Any input is appreciated.
>>54081750
Yes, OBS has hotkeys. Just press F4 while in-game to start recording (or whatever you set it to).
>>54081750
Once you get it set up for the first time OBS is a hotkey away from capture, and you can run it in constant capture mode and then have a hotkey to save the last n minutes of footage.
>>54081757
Definitely. Evo 850/Pro or Sandisk Plus or Ultra II are the best in the market all things considered. Unless you have a WD Velociraptor, your read/write speeds on a regular HDD are anywhere between 100-150Mb/s, assuming it's not dying (60-90mb/s usually). You can test it out for yourself in any case. An SSD can be anywhere between 5-10 times faster, usually about 5 when comparing to healthy disks.
>>54081751
any perticular reason why the 5x? sorry I just want some definitive reason to go out and buy it, im stuck between all three options
>>54081797
Long official software support, large community ROM/kernel support, excellent display (very color accurate), great camera, fast charging, fingerprint scanner. 5X was a mediocre phone at launch, but now that its dropped in price a bit its a good bargain.
>>54081795
>Evo 850/Pro or Sandisk Plus or Ultra II are the best in the market all things considered.
An Intel SSD 750 is better than any of those.
>>54081812
And the Samsung 950 is better than that
>>54081795
I bought my PC parts from a small seller which is pretty popular in my city and those guys would never fuck their customers up.
But, they recommended me to buy these two items (which I did):
WD 1TB 5400 rpm version - because they said "it was a newer model which is better than the 7200 rpm model they had"
Intel 535 SSD - I didn't find many info on this one on the internet, but it seems it is not much better than Kingston's.
Was I memed hard or not?
>>54081836
>WD 1TB 5400 rpm version - because they said "it was a newer model which is better than the 7200 rpm model they had"
Lmfao. You just got memed the fuck on.
>>54081770
But won't I need to have set the game as a source in advance, or develop the muscle memory to add the game as a source real quick?
>>54081847
I don't understand that one, I wanted the 7200 model but they insisted on this one, the 7200 is a little more expensive, doesn't make sense that they would cheat me.
>>54081850
You set up a game capture scene to have a hotkey to capture the active window
Launch OBS > Go to game > Press hotkey > Done
>>54081812
>NVMe
>>54081836
Well depending on the platter generation a 5400 may very well best a 7200rpm disk in different tasks which they may have seen as more important for a general consumer. If it was a green edition then you did indeed get meme'd.
The Intel 535 is fine but older Intel SSDs (300 series) had an auto-kill switch wherein they'd simply become read-only and expire after reboot once a single sector went bad. This is in contrast to the vast majority of SSDs which simply reallocate data to other (often dedicated) areas of the disk.
>>54081835
Only in some benchmarks.
>>54081859
Even if the 7200 rpm model is more expensive overall they may get more margin on the 5400
Is it true that encryption that is too strong is illegal for ordinary citizens to use?
>>54081892
No
Historically there have been laws regarding the export of encryption tech which was classified as munitions, but it's pretty much irrelevant nowadays

How do I hide the clock in statusbar at my HTC M8? I'm using an A9 port rom (jw, to be specific) and Sense Toolbox isn't working in that function.
>>54081870
It was the blue edition.
I don't know how big is the difference between the 5400 and 7200 rpm. But meh, I probably won't buy from them again, it was just an HDD, so pretty cheap, and I only have one, while my OS is on the SSD, if/when I buy another one, I won't make the same mistake. But what bothers me is that I'm not sure if my HDD is the reason I get frame drops on game all the time - or is it the driver issue.
Btw, somebody please -> >>54081726
I couldn't buy the Samsung's SSD at that time so I guess Intel 535 was fine, never had SSD before.
>>54081931
Check the see is the xposed framwork works on your device/supported. Some launchers try to hide it if supported by the system, like Nova so give that a try maybe.
>>54081941
It's already hiding with Nova, and I started to think that clock on statusbar sucks. That's why I want to change it..
Xposed 81 is working.
>>54081870
>>54081940
WD did a rebranding, their green drives are now sold under the blue label. If you're buying the newest drives you need to look at the actual specs
>>54081940
In any case, the Sandisk Plus is a good investment as far as SSDs are concerned. Go with an evo 850 if you're fine with spending a bit more. Totally not a problem if you'd rather get the sandisk. They'd both be huge upgrades from almost any HDD.
Your issue with framedrops are most likely caused by the new drivers. Rollback and see if the problem persists. If it does, then it's the drivers as expected and you should wait for a newer version/maybe a patch for your specific game. If not, it needs a more thorough revision of your system status.
Are ther librarys for C on windows which allow me to get below the IP on the network protokol stack?
Like if I would want to send an ARP request with my programm for example.
Concerning the Raspberry Pi Zero, could I split the single USB port with some sort of double-adapter and use that single port for watching movies up to 20Mbps off a hard drive while also controlling XBMC with a gamepad? Is there enough data for that? Does the Zero's USB port even supply power?
>>54081951
Make a TWRP backup and get xposed running. it can modify your system without the need for specific launchers and other background processes.
>>54082016
Perhaps crafting the structure of the packet would be simpler? if its just an ARP.
>>54081991
Didn't have 362.00, will install it fresh and see what happens then.
Do you recommend any program for monitoring? I had MSI Afterburner but couldn't see any problem with my configuration.
Btw, this what that HDD more precisely:
HDD 1TB WD Blue, 3.5", 5400RPM, 64MB Cache, SATA3, WD10EZRZ

Could one busted socket make all other not work? One of them is pretty busted and hanging out, and was used recently.

I'm trying to figure out how to install some custom ROM on my G3, and Cyanogenmod seems to have a good guide. But there's one sentence that makes no sense to me. Namely:

Should I buy used parts and build a solid i7 3770k along with gtx 780 or should i go buy and build myself a i5 6600k along with gtx970?

>>54082502
of course. You can build something very powerful for that money. You can even build a E chip/980 setup with money leftover. It's very easy to overspend on components with that kind of budget though so be cautious.
Also if you want a 'gaming' laptop don't go with ROG, it's way too ugly to be used shamelessly in an office/conference/job. Gigabyte 35/37 series are where it's at.
>>54082345
Same. i7-6700k and a gtx780. The Z170 motherboards can be as low as like $100. That's where you save the most money compared to building something older. DDR4 is p much the same as DDR3 nowadays too. Wait a month and get the 6700k if you have a job. You're bound to upgrade GPUs a couple of times during the PC's lifetime. Get a good processor from the start and avoid cpu upgrades from the get-go.
