    My system is a i5 6500 and gtx 1060 with 8gb of ram, is this good enough for streaming? Because my stream is very laggy (the game runs just like normal) and other people have a worse pc than me but they can stream fine. Any ideas on how to fix or improve?

    I personally streamed with obs with your exact same setup. Had no issues but some slight frame drop on intensive games like PUBG on epic settings.

    Whats a good work laptop

    I recently bought an Acer Aspire 7 with ani7 6700HQ, 8GB of ram, a GTX1050 and 1TB SSD for well under 700€. Pretty much depends on your current deals but a graphics card like a 1050 and a CPU like the 6700HQ should be more than enough. Ram is slightly low but it is easily upgradable. 

    Portable Mini Gaming PC on Budget

    I have never built any PC before and would greatly appreciate guidance! I was thinking of building a PC that has a good gaming experience and is good for school (but also has "ultimate value"). I recently watched one of Linus's videos ("Ultimate Value Gaming Build Guide") from back in 2014, but that build used a mid-tower case, which isn't the portability I'm looking for. I was planning on using the suggested parts here: 

     

    However, I want to make a MINI gaming PC that I can fit in my carryon and bring between home and school. I am considering the following replacement parts: 

     

    A smaller case: a slim fractal one, or a corsair carbide compact one

    A mini motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z270N-WIFI with Intel Z270 Express Mini-ITX Motherboard - LGA1151 Socket

     

    Would the remaining parts fit if I stuck with his build? What other suggestions and guidance do you guys have? 

     

    Thank you so much!!

     

    I recently picked up

    a b250 board for 40~$ (mini itx) check out amazon for deals

    I started watching Garcia DIY vids like this

    and it's painfully clear to me that it's a bit more complex than I thought. If I'm going to get into this stuff I need to start at much smaller scale and ambition of projects to iron out my inexperience. I should try an experiment like just powering an LED bulb or my phone charger I think.

     

    The lightbulb in my room's lamp says 9.5W.

    My Phone charger uses about 18W I think.

     

    To be honest with you Garcia DIY's videos are MUCH more complex as he makes the parts himself and is trying to replicate the Tesla powerwall with smaller more "fragile" 18650 batteries which require balance leads etc. A 12v battery bank can much more easily replicate this with off the shelf parts for a similar price. As previously said you will need to carefully design the system to your own needs so its essential to understand how much power you need and when. After that, you can start looking at solar panels, charge controllers, batteries and inverters suitable for your power load.

    Little Update!

    I recently presented the project along with a self-sufficient solar plane I designed in a Spanish robotics competition and actually came first! I got to showcase the project on national television and met a bunch of cool people like the co-founder of Arduino (Video he made with me will be up on the Arduino channel soon). I also interchanged info with a bunch of people that were interested in the project so I might be able to get some sponsors onboard with the project. I'm just finishing my finals next week and as soon as I'm done I'll start designing V3 hopefully getting it closer to 2x2cm.

    Setting up and exterior livestream

    I recently won a raspberry pi 3B+ at a competition and after succesfully getting moonlight to work on it and stream games from my PC i have decided to do something different. Im trying to create a webcam livestream but with a catch, it will be set up in a remote location with no electricty and will need a GSM connection. Any tips on doing this and trying to avoid people stealing it? I was thinking a simple solar panel with a usb webcam and a GSM module all in a metal box but im not completely sure. I have no experience with the RB pi 3B+ but I do have basic Linux and Python Experience.

    Hey guys, long time no see!

     

    So long story short, I found two GTX 980 Tis' for sale on Craigslist so is anyone willing it to get it shipped to my relatives place? He will pay the charges and all I have been scampering through eBay and Amazon so I virtually gave up until I turned to Craigslist..

     

    And like the say, 'When there is a will, there is a way..' So I am not giving up and remain determined to get either of those GPUs. Only the shipping part is the problem, I will be very grateful if someone can help me out.. Thanks! :D

    sure, I just need your social security number and photos of the front and back of your credit card (make sure the three numbers on the back are visible, its just a date dont worry)......

    Wont Boot To Bios

    Had a power outage in my area recently, messed up my PC but luckily all I had to do was reset my windows. My girlfriend was not so fortunate and her PSU wouldn't boot properly not after re-seating ram gpu, launching on one stick, it would light up then drop out and nothing ever displayed on the monitor screen. So I assumed it was the PSU, she just replaced it by herself I have not been able to check for myself but everything looks fine. Everything lights up except for her GPU main light. What do I do? we cant boot on only the cpu because the motherboard doesnt have DVI support. Im thinking of bringing my GPU and ram to hers to test them out but if that doesnt work, what do I do? The motherboard still lights up and turns on as well.

     

    The pc has a GTX 980 TI and a i5 6400 in it. I can't remember the motherboards model but it is a high end gigabyte.

    Try bare minimum, cpu, 1 ram stick and the IGPU output.

    Perfect, glad to hear everything is running good. Also really glad I could help you with it. So are you going to get the bios fixed on your board, or stick with the one you have running now. 

    Thanks for the help! will order a new bios chip tonight see if I can get the old board fixed since it had more features and obviously was full atx
