I'll start:
My maximum processor state is at 100%,
if i lower it to 80% is that harmful to the cpu, since they are meant to be at 100%? I wanna lower my temps a bit.
There is already a thread here
>>54806118
Please do a search for "sqt" in the catalog before creating a new thread.
>>54808801
It's not harmful but it shouldn't be necessary to lower the temperature. What's your current idle/load temperatures, though? If your computer is a few months or even years old and your temperatures are abnormally high, it might be due to accumulated dust so cleaning the fans and heat sinks should help.
I was running debian on my server for a while but I broke it. Gonna reinstall, what should I use? I'm thinking fedora server. It's just a torrent/dlna/file sharing server.

How much watts does my computer use judging from this speccy?
The PSU caulacutor says 500w but is it just over estimating or what?

I downloaded a Python script to download imagefap albums.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/imagefap-gallery-downloader/
The instructions are straight forward. What you do is open the Imagefap Gallery Downloader and have it running, locate a imagefap gallery and click Copy and it should download the album. It worked for me last night, but now it doesn't want to do anything. I open it up, locate a gallery and hit Copy, and it just does nothing. There seems to be something I'm missing. Thoughts?

My fresh install of Win7SP1 has been "Checking for updates" for countless hours now. 1 odd thing though is this screen has changed. Went from nothing being there to all this being there. Is this all working as designed? Because it says no updates were installed yet all this is under installed updates now. My PC doesn't seem updated. I want to update it without getting tricked into Windows 10 forcing its way here. Will I have anything to worry about if I have GWX Control Panel turned on?

For the first semester or two, try to limit distractions. Get a T420 used, put some GNU/Linux distro on it and get some shit done. In my experience most people drop out within the first 3 semesters because they can't resist the temptation to spend all their free time (and then some of their study time, and then some of their lecture time, and finally all their time) doing anything but studying, then complain about it being too hard.

I installed win 10 on a 3 year old computer and now when starting up the pc the screen simply remains black. did win10 just destroy my bios and how do I fix that?
>>54814936
help me
>>54814966
Connect your monitor.
>>54814980
it's an all-in-one computer. nothing was done with the hardware
>>54808772
ok since two days win 10 decided to stick in a infinite loop of ''automatic repair'' at startup, tried everything even the with the cmd, it didn't work fuck it
so my question is when I reinstall windows 10 using a usb device will it wipe my system disk automatically, because of space reasons I cannot copy my files to a different hard drive, I am planing to create a ''backup'' folder in my system drive and copy everything of value in there using a bootable linux solution
normally on win7 and lower the system would just create a ''windows.old'' and leave everything intact, so could it work?
I'm having a problem when I play games, after a few hours the monitor will lose signal and the pc crashes. Sent it to the store and tech guy said it's either the psu or the motherboard. If it is the motherboard and I have to change it, do I have to reinstall windows?
The proximity sensor is giving me trouble during calls and I don't find it useful. Since I have Tasker, I thought about using it for disabling the sensor at all times.
I only created a simple 'hang up after 59 minutes' profile and I'm clueless about how to proceed, but I'm eager to learn.
Can anyone point out how to do this?
I'm going to use a virtual machine for the only purpose of using the Adobe CS5 suite (the "less intensive" applications that is). This is because through WINE I have had many issues, tried a while ago and it worked fine.
Which version of Windows would be better for this? I'm concerned about RAM usage of all things. Using Ubuntu.
Is there any decent laptop with more than 4 GB RAM for $4-500 max ir should I save for something better? My 2011 Macbook Pro I got from school sounds like a goddamn vacuum if you do anything more demanding than web browsing on it.

I think you understand me wrong, I have only that drive (where my system is) but I'm not so sure that by reinstalling win10 he actually deletes every folder located on my drive that doesn't belong to windows for ex. a folder called backup
>>54815010
you can resize ntfs fairly easily.
shrink the win10 partition, make a new ext3 partition in the drives free space and copy the important shit there
then wipe the windows 10 partition and reinstall to there (dont wipe the drive), install an ext3 driver for windows 10, copy your shit back over, delete the ext3 partition and resize the windows partition to take up the whole of the drive
How do i use this
>>54815362
as far as i know resizing will erase all files on the drive
>>54815377
install it on something connected to a tv, point it at some movies, anime and tv shows, watch your movies/anime/tv through the tv with a nice ui

I have a few questions about RAID that Google refuses to give me definitive answers to.
I actually have a "RAID Box" (Icy-Box) with two 4Tb HDDs in RAID1 which is almost full and I'd like to add more space to it.
1.) Is there any way to add 2 4Tb HDDs to these (and change the box since mine only has room for two) and switch to RAID10 without losing my data?
2.) If I remove one of my actual RAID1 HDDs from the box and connect it directly to my PC, can I access my data? Is there any risk of losing data doing this?
3.) I've read people having issues recovering their data after their box died. I always thought that if it happened, you only had to connect one of the disk into your PC or to put both in any RAID1 box. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
4.) If recovering data after a box breaks isn't as easy as that, shouldn't I simply stop using RAID? Should I use JBOD and manually mirror copy everything on separate HDDs everytime to be sure I'll always be able to retrieve my data if something bad happens?
I'm really anal about my data, I just want it to be stored in the safest possible way (Cloud excepted, my connection wouldn't allow it).

Hey /g/, I'm in a semi-big predicament. A family friend of mine called me up today because her windows 10 account password has been changed without her knowledge. I dropped by yesterday to clean up her laptop, and everything was in working order. I even restarted it and was able to log in just fine. She can't type anything into the password field and when she presses enter the password hint is 'some are unlucky', which is not her password hint.
Apparently users can fix their forgotten passwords with a password recovery disk, but she doesn't have one. There is also the M$ online password reset system, but that doesn't look like it can reset passwords for non-MS accounts; she made a local one only. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset her password? I suggested to her looking for the admin account on the account select page, but she couldn't find it. I also suggested reinstalling windows since she has a backup, but, naturally, windows installed itself so she has no windows disk.
Is there a way to stop uMatrix from blocking an image from being loaded after I've a-okayed it after the page has loaded? I'd like to be able to right click on the white-and-grey placeholder image > load image after I've 'whitelisted' the domain.

You cannot compress, compressed data.
>>54816827

>>54816887
You can't compress compressed data. There is nothing to compress. MP3 is an encoded container. Putting it in a RAR file,and using anything other then the 'store' option, gains no results and justs waste cpu time. When using compressed data, check how your compressing software handles a pure archive(rar and 7z using 'store')
>>54816916
there is a limit to how much you can compress something, but mp3 is not that limit
>>54816939

>Can I put a 120mm PWM fan on there instead?
sure, as long as steps are taken to ensure it won't overheat
>How will the card react when there's no fan connected to it's PCB?
i'd recommend attaching the new fan to the same fan header, so it can be controlled by the board/it's driver, which changes the fan speed relative to the chips' temperature
without the fan connected, the card might cause the machine to fail POST (aka, won't boot)
if it doesn't prevent boot, then it's safe to continue, again provided steps are taken to ensure the card won't overheat
I'm having hard freezes on my computer, requiring a hard reboot of the system. If there's any audio playing at the time, it loops the sound loudly. I have backlighting on my mouse and keyboard which turn off when the system freezes.
Strangely enough, the freeze is more likely to happen when there is less load on the system. If I run any full screen video games, the crashes almost never happen. This has actually happened to the system while it was installing Windows, so I don't think it's a software problem.
I've clean installed every single driver in the system, ran virus checks, ran memtest and windows memory diagnostic. I ran a chckdsk on the hard drive. I've checked that everything is plugged in inside the computer correctly and securely. Nothing is touching bare metal. The temperatures are never above 65c in the system. Everything in bios is set to defaults. So far no test I've ran has indicated any problem whatsoever. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?

is there any problems with those? Are you bottlenecking or is it slow in certain tasks you are doing?
Those are solid components.And unless you just want to have new toys to play with, i dont see why you would upgrade. If anything wait for the new gen cpus and the new gen nvidia cards.
>>54818580
GPU? any time you want.
CPU? Do you really need to upgrade? is there anything that maxes your CPU?
If no, why?

If you have concerns about privacy then you shouldn't be using Facebook to start with.
You can use auto-fill settings for Facebook to have your email and password already set when you visit Facebook, so all you have to do is press login.
>>54809806
Yeah, sure, why not? Any .deb or .rpm bistro will be good.

Irrelevant.
You could try to use a Linux USB to see if you still have those problems to clear your doubt.

What does /g/ think of portable software? Is it bad to have those?
I have two devices and am gradually switching over to only using them, because it's easier to keep settings synchronized that way (through syncthing on Win8.1).
I've got a 60fps video which I have to convert to 30fps.
Can I make the 30fps video smoother in some way given that I have a 60fps source?
It doesn't look so nice at 30fps when I straight convert it.
>>54819863
no, why would it?
>>54819895
No.
>>54819895
Why do you need to make it 30?

I like them because I like having everything in one local folder, but you rarely get software that does that in Windows. I thought there might be some rational reason for deviating from that.
Is stuff generally in one folder on Linux, by the way?
I'm having an issue with my mouse.
It works fine for a while and then freezes up, and drop down to the bottom of the screen when moving it,
I've tried different mice ranging from $5 generic mice,5 button mice, and 12 button mmo mice
Ive checked udev, and there are no rules relating to hid or usb at all.
I plugged the mice in one at a time to all my usb ports,v2 and v3 and the same problem persists.
There is no other issue with any other usb devices(keyboard,headphones,usb drive)
What could cause this?
>>54819963
what?
>>54820011
Windows has this registry-thingy. I like being able to just copy whole folders of programs over to other devices, but that's not possible on Windows, because stuff like settings tend to be hidden all over the place (AppData, registry, programs folder...).
>>54819963
>>54820033
you install programs on windows so every user on the computer can use it and have its own settings.
when you have portable applications in your user folder, no one else could use that program and would need to get another copy of it.
back in the day when hard disk space was a luxury this was important.
>>54819993
Drivers?

Its just using the generic hid drivers(linux)

My PC won't let me load BIOS help
Have an ASUS Motherboard, have tried all common keys, and read the manual and used the key they say is the one to load bios, but nothing.
On Windows when you kill a program from the task manager that has an icon in the notification area why doesn't the icon disappear until you mouse over it?
>>54820155
lazy programming
the list of icons isn't reloaded b4 a mouse over event
>>54820155
if you kill it it can't tell the taskbar to remove the icon, so it only gets removed when the taskbar notices the process is gone.

I have a 3tb Seagate desktop backup drive that is formatted to exFAT and my computer won't boot while it's plugged in, even though it has not problem reading from it once the OS is loaded. It's not nearly filled to capacity so I can create another partition and move everything over if I need to, but I never made this one bootable so how would I avoid this problem while keeping the same filesystem?
I'm certain it's because of exFAT because I tried it with another drive too.

How do I pick a good case? I don't know shit about airflow.
Also, what pricerange should a decent case be?
>>54821081
$50 is a budget case
$100 is a nice case
>>54821081
Bigger fans = less noise.
Keep in mind that heat goes up so you want to setup the thing that produces the most heat (your power supply) at the top of the case.
You want the airflow to go in one side and out the other (usually from front/bottom to the rear/top. Perpendicular fans to the flow are shit, remove them if the case you get has some.
Also, you want positive pressure in the case, which means more flow in than flow out.
>>54821002
hmm, I checked that but I'm still having the same problem. What's more is that I tried plugging it in while in the BIOS and the whole thing froze. I think my computer just really doesn't like this hard drive. I'll stick with just remembering to unplug it each time I start the computer; I don't reboot that often anyway.

Depends on your needs.
Do you need an optical drive(5.25)?
How many 2.5 and 3.5 drives do you have?
It its a small amount look in to microatx cases.

Fans in the front and then fans in the back,everything else is pointless

Build it with him. Consider buying a used CPU and GPU to save some dorrars.
I have a computer with the following specs:
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 MoBo
Intel i5 2500k 3.3GHz
16GB DDR2 RAM
AMD R9 280
I've fallen for the hype of the GTX 1070, but I'm debating whether to upgrade my current computer or to buy a new one. My computer isn't exactly new (it's coming up on 5 years old), but I looked up comparisons of my i5 2500k to the i5 6500 and found that the 2500k is just as powerful as the 6500. It seems CPUs haven't really advanced much in the past few years, and I was wondering whether it was even worth it to get a new computer or if upgrading my current computer would be just fine. Upgrading would allow me to get a new monitor to go along with the 1070 and maybe get a few extra upgrades (bigger SSD and HDD for example).
Here's what I'd probably be getting if I were to build a new computer (replace the 980 with the 1070, I just put that in there as a placeholder for wattage and price calculations):

I've been trying to get Overwatch to work on my computer these last few days, and have spent hours on blizzard's help line.
Basically every-time I boot it up through Battle.net the intro cinematic plays, but then as soon as it tries to connect to the battlenet servers it crashes immediately.
Seems like the problem may be with my Intel graphics drivers, but they are up-to-date so I don't know what could be wrong
I upgraded to Windows 10 as that was the last resort the people at blizzard recommended, but it still didn't work, I had the same problem (plus it fucked with my tablet's drivers) so I reverted back to Windows 7.
I've been offered a full refund on the game but I'm holding out (stupidly) for a chance it may work.
Please if you have any ideas, let me know.
>>54821423
Unless they have their profile private,you should be able to on twitter. I dont use facebook/instagram, but i'd imagine they have similar privacy features with no profile.
Even signing up for it, they will track you. Anything you click or check out will be on your profile, even if you never used it. Thats how they track the "here you might like these people" and "oh you live in X, here are people from X near you"
