    Tac127 reacted to Z-Gaming in How much of difference is there between WD blue and black   
    Generally speaking, you would want a Black if you're gonna use it as a boot drive, as well as for gaming.
    And Blue for saving non-frequent files like videos, image (basically storage).
     
    However, the price difference isn't that much and most people would suggest to get the Black over the Blue because of performance concerns.
    The Blue features this power-saving thingy that may or may not be reliable.
     
    GENERALLY SPEAKING.
    Black: 7200RPM + 64MB Cache(bigger is better), but may present more noise, heat, and power consumption. emphasis on the may
    Blue: 5400-7200RPM + 16-32MB Cache (depends on capacity)
     
    I'd suggest the blacks over the blues.
    Also I'll only be using it as a storage drive (I already have an SSD as boot and programs drive, already have sacrificial 2.5"s for downloads and torrents)
    Example: 6TB Blue = 4TB Black in price.

    Not necessarily. The other drives are still in production, and it's the plain Black drives that have the higher cache.

    Tac127 reacted to Moonzy in What do you think of my build rate out of 10?   
    gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
     
    for gaming:
    CPU: judging based on price, 7/10, could've gone i3 6100 for better performance and dat ddr4, but not a bad pick either, just not the best
    GPU: 5/10, should've just saved more money and buy a better one, but not everyone have this option so....
    RAM: 3/10, too much ram, could've allocated the budget elsewhere, but better than too little ram
    HDD: 8/10 personal thing, not for me to judge, and SSD is not recommended in low budget system so i guess i could give you some points for not having an ssd and a decent HDD for the rig
    PSU: model not known, cant judge, but wattage is fine
     
    so your score is about ~6/10  based on the things i know

    Any reason you need the sound card? Motherboards have built in sound. 
    An i7 6700k isn't much more expensive.
    Dominators are overpriced and have no performance benefit, use the money saved on cheaper ram to get a 6700k.
     
    Other than that it looks nice.

    You mean how Apple is standing up for the security and privacy of regular citizens, and not letting the government control everything creating a backdoor into your device and making your life even more big brother

    Actually gaming on iOS is better than android in my opinion, with really good mobile ports of games, and a really really strong gaming scene

    Android gaming is good, its main strength are all the emulators of old games

    This is one of those games that I would play... just to see how awful it gets, but i have a feeling like the fiancée would not take too kindly if she found out.

    I suddenly realise this is and incredibly genre-savvy developer; this is an amazing parody. Based on the reviews it is actually pretty good. Better, even, than "not GTAV."

    It will probably still work with that CPU in it. If you can get to the BIOS, you can do an update from there. It might connect to the internet itself to update it, otherwise you can download the update on to a flash drive from another computer.

    Keep tapping 'DEL' and 'F2' while the computer is starting up. It should go straight in.

    Tac127 reacted to Philcat101 in Reputation votes   
    I have something to say about the options for reputation on a post.
    Here are the 5 options:
    Agree
    Informational
    Funny
    Friendly
    Good Point
    I think these are good, but I think that there is some other things that should replace some of these.
    Agree is fine, keep it
    Informational is like a mix between Good Point and Helpful. I think that Good Point and Informational should be replaced with "Helpful Information", or just keep informational and rename Good Point, "Helpful".
    Funny is fine
    I don't think friendly is a great option to use, I would get rid of it
    Lastly, these buttons should be on the same line as the Quote, sharing, and report buttons to make this more streamlined.

    @Tac127
    Even then, you are too late to get into BitCoin mining. I think something like an R9 290x used to make 2 cents a day a couple of months ago. And that is not counting hardware costs and the like. And the difficulty to mine it only increases over time.

    Tac127 reacted to dalekphalm in What Setting to put for conventional SATA SSD?   
    Putting your SSD into "RAID" mode without using any RAID arrays will provide absolutely, literally, ZERO benefits over AHCI. It's literally just running in AHCI mode. Anyone who told you there was a performance boost was lying or misinformed.

    so.. that sounded like a really good idea except the selling the gaming pc part.
    why? that'll be a perfectly good box to learn coding, and who says you wont find yourself to enjoy modding games?
     
    theres actually a lot of game modders that turn towards creating their own game.
