  1. I just scheduled a service with my Toyota dealer for my 5000 miles maintenance and they asked for $86 for oil change and tire rotation. Is this price reasonable?

     

    Car: 2015 Toyota Corolla S, 1800 miles (I barely use it, 2 year free maintenance was passed)

     

    Other questions: What else should be done during maintenance other than oil change? (sorry I'm no car expert)

  2. My hard drive in my super old computer has a strange noise when booting up and you can always hear when it's trying to find data and it is the loudest part of my PC. I also never turn of my computer because it is a pain to wait for it to boot up and I only restart it exclusively when windows needs an update. This SSD would be a glorious upgrade. SSDs makes computer snappy and it will make a low budget computer feel better/snappy.

  3. You probably made a mistake since an i7-4790k runs 400 MHz faster on quadcore loads at stock while selling for $20 or so more while a Xeon E3-1231v3 runs 200 MHz slower on all cores while selling for $60 less. So the i7-4790 is kind of in a no man's land with regards to pricing: pay a little more for significantly more performance or pay significantly less for a little less performance. It's not a big mistake by any means though, as an i7-4790 is a monstrously powerful gaming cpu and a decent workstation processor too.

    I know, I made a premature mistake because I'm too excited too build a PC and 4790k was out of stock. I'm just trying to convince myself that I made a good choice and make myself feel better.

  4. You made the right choice if you're not overclocking and don't need that minor clock speed bump.

     

    One option you may consider if you can still return the 4790 would be the Xeon E3 1231 V3. It's exactly the same CPU, except it lacks an integrated GPU. If you already have a dedicated graphics card, this can save you ~$70+.

    That was what I am about going to do but a bit different. I was about to return the cpu for a K version, but I went in this forum to convince myself that I made a good choice and not worry about the hassle of shipping the cpu.

  5. Just bought i7 4790 last sunday because I was too excited to build my PC and i7 4790k was not on stock and I have all my parts except for the CPU.

     

    Did I just made a mistake of going on the non K version? Did I miss out the glory of the K version? Are the manufacturing process of making the CPU's the same?

     

    Even though I am not overclocking, I feel disappointed/dissatisfied buying the non K version. :(

     

    I know that the K has .5 ghz advantage (base clock).

  6. This WiFI adapter is very powerfull. I have the same and reach 877Mb/s (air link speed, data througthput is about 450Mb/s).

    How far is the AP away from the adapter?

    Have you checked that you are using the least crowded channel?

    Test 2.4GHz net, vs. 5GHz. For longer distances 2.4 GHz is better.

    As far as distance, my PC is not that far from the access point, about 25-35 feet with 1 wall between them

    How do I change Ghz and check the least crowded channel? (sorry, I'm a noob at networking stuff)

  8. I'm planning to install Gmod on my SSD but installing CS:Source on my HDD.

     

    Does the textures show if the games are installed on different places OR do they need to be on the same storage in order for the CS:Source textures  appear on Gmod?

     

    And what games do I need to install so I can see the majority of the most used textures?

     

    THANKS!

  9. I have an old hdd, and decided to buy a ssd and also decided to not clone the hard drive to the ssd because it might have issues in the future.

     

    What do I need to have in order to upgrade to ssd, I'm planning to format the hard drive and use it as backup or a storage in case my ssd runs full.

     

    I currently have a 2tb hdd, bought a new sandisk 240gb ssd.

     

    THANKS!

  10. When you tap the clock widget on galaxy s5, it will open the clock app. But my widget wont (it does nothing).

     

    I tried restarting my phone, clearing cache, force stopping the widget and the app, clearing the data of the app and the widget, booting to safe mode.

     

    Pls Help

     

    Thanks.

  11. Erm, depends on if the phone is connected to the hotspot or not, if it is, then I'd assume it uses the hotspot, otherwise the unlimited data.

    Hotspot is off, I'm just concerned if I will be charge if I use this as my internet rather than my super slow wifi (no access to wired ethernet).
