I think LTT makes up a majority of Vessel views...

@nicklmg Any comments on this?: -
I'd like to finally install an SSD to speed up my mom's PC. Watching her wait on that 5400rpm HDD is painful, though she doesn't know any better
-
5/7 would rate again. No, but seriously awesome rig! I'm thinking that the CPU might be a bottleneck in some games, but I guess that it's not, as someone with such a baller PC would upgrade platform if there were issues. Good choice of PSU, too 9/10

Kova looks much nicer imo. Thanks for the giveaway!

My PC keeps crashing.. Tried everything I could think of
joppetie replied to joppetie's topic in Troubleshooting
But do you think a faulty PSU can cause my PC to crash (0,5-1 times a day) while not under any sort of load. Like when just browsing the web? -
Hey there, For a few months now, my PC keeps crashing every time I use it, pretty much. Games crash to desktop, other programs crash when playing games and I get bluescreens (even when just browsing the web). (almost always with different error codes, have used Microsoft hotfixes) My PC basically became frustrating to use to the point where it is almost unusable. I can't play most games for more than ~45 min without crashing. To try and resolve this issue, I formatted my SSD and reinstalled Windows 7, disabled all my overclocks, ran Memtest86 and only installed all the necessary drivers.. But it hasn't fixed it. Full specs are in my signature. People have suggested that it might be my PSU, but I don't want to buy a new one without first testing if it's maybe something else. Any clue what to do? Many thanks in advance!

I have, but I don't expect a reaction any time soon. I was really stoked to play the shit out of this game too..

Hey guys I bought GTA V in the Steam sale yesterday, and after playing for a bit, it froze. (the image on screen would freeze, audio would keep going) I had to close the game though task manager and restart it. Since then, the game keeps doing this everytime I play it after 10-15 minutes or so, unplayable. I've redownloaded and reinstalled the game, updated my drivers, completely turned off my overclocks and made the page file system-controlled and did a validation of the game files through Steam. Nothing has worked, I don't know what to do anymore. Anyone have a clue what might be the issue or the fix?

Are 5900RPM Harddrives really that slow?
joppetie replied to TheAmazingCookieFromSquare's topic in Storage Devices
Hi! I think I might be in a position to give advice. In my PC, I have an SSD as boot drive, and a 2TB 7200rmp HDD for mass storage. Sometimes, of course, you'll have to wait for the HDD to fetch the files you requested, which is normal. But I've never noticed a massive delay, not to a point where it would annoy me. Now, since two weeks, I added another 3TB 5400rpm drive, for more mass storage, and I really can notice that it's much slower in spinning up than the 7200rpm drive. (I use it for movies, so it's fine, I don't care about read speeds, as long as my video files play without buffering, which they don't) For now, it will simply live in my system, but I'm planning on getting another one, so I can RAID 1 them in a NAS. I can tell you two things: - 5400rpm is too slow too actually use in your system (programmes, games, files that you need more than once a week) investing in 7200rpm is definitely worth it. - 5400rpm is fine for a dedicated NAS, as they'll always be on. The problem here is that you're better off buying drives that are rated for 24/7 operation, like WD Red series drives or equivalent. These are often more expensive than 7200rpm drives that aren't rated for 24/7 operation. I think for a NAS, you're really better off investing in drives that are made for a NAS-like workload (red series for example). Your choice seems to be the right one. Though, it's advisable not to use the NAS storage for many work files, that you need to use many times a day, as this will really slow you down. For movies, tv series and pictures it's great, not a problem. I hope I've been of help -
Scrapyard Wars Season 3 - With Scrappy Guest Austin Evans!
joppetie replied to LinusTech's topic in LTT Releases
I think part of the 'problem' is that on a TV show, they have an entire story (so a season of SYW) in one 20-50 minute episode. This, of course, is not something we can realistically ever achieve, keeping in mind that this is still YouTube and they have to make money somehow. But yeah, where a TV show put something like a season (7x15 minutes aprox.) of SYW in 50 minutes of TV. So yeah, pacing needs to be higher. I think this not only has to do with editing, but also with the contestants. TV shows have producers for a reason. Sometimes in SYW, I feel that the contestants are more busy with trying to win, than with putting on an entertaining, decently paced show for the audience. Pacing could be better, but we also have to live with the fact that it's still mostly ad-driven and therefore low-budget. -
RIP in peices, Luke

You're a quick one, you.

I've solved it! After some looking around, I found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.WifiManager In the settings menu, there's an option to automatically switch to the strongest signal. Thanks for the input guys!
