    Brainiac777 reacted to Faa in CPU Adaptive Voltage Explanation?   
    Yeah.. Wasn't detailed enough. By default its set to + mode, so it will rather overvolt the frequencies like 800MHz/1200MHz/1600MHz whatever you have. If you select the min mode it will undervolt it instead.
    What he has to do is; reset bios - select adaptive mode and only change the "additional turbo mode cpu core voltage" to whatever vcore he wants under full load like 1.25V. Just like MSI's implentation prokon was talking about. Heres a picture: http://i.imgur.com/ukxEQ58.jpg

    Brainiac777 got a reaction from jansunda in CPU Adaptive Voltage Explanation?   
    Hello, I've recently tried to overclock my i5 4690K to 4.5 GHz @ 1.20V and found it to be stable there. Once I found my overclock, I tried setting the voltage from manual to adaptive (Following Linus's advice) but it BSOD when I try to boot to Windows. After Googling a bit, I could never find a post that states how to set the adaptive voltage settings. People were like change the LLC (Load Line Calibration) to medium settings, disable PLL, something with CPU-Z voltage and BIOS voltage, etc. I'm just really confused on how to set the settings when using adaptive voltage, like wtf is offset voltage? What do I set for Turbo Offset Voltage? Etc. Please don't tell me to use offset voltage, seems worse than adaptive.
     
    I'm using a ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 motherboard with 16GB of RAM @ 1600MHz.

    Brainiac777 reacted to Komplett in How many inputs does a switch take?   
    its a bit hard to explain, but basically its the bandwidth of the switch, within the switch. You want it to be as high as the amount of ports to make sure every port can communicate with the full gigabit speed.

    Brainiac777 reacted to Rohith_Kumar_Sp in Netflix says piracy service Popcorn Time is a real competitor   
    Netflix isn't just worried about HBO — it's worried about pirates, too. In a letter to shareholders yesterday, Netflix says that piracy is one of its "biggest competitors," and notably, it specifically points to one piracy service that's caught its attention: Popcorn Time. Popcorn Time's app is meant to make pirating a movie as easy as streaming one on Netflix. The app allows you to browse through an iTunes-like catalog of movies and TV shows by their posters, select one for more information, and then start streaming it after a short buffering period. It's so streamlined that anyone should be able to just pick it up and start watching.

    What Popcorn Time actually is is a pretty face for downloading torrents, an activity that's typically going to be illegal when you're looking for major films and TV shows. This form of piracy is far from a new phenomenon, but it makes torrenting a lot more accessible than it's traditionally been — and that gives Netflix reason to worry.
     
    In particular, Netflix points to a Google Trends graph comparing the popularity of searches for Netflix, HBO, and Popcorn Time in the Netherlands. The graph shows the popularity of Popcorn Time rising sharply over the past six months, such that it's now on par with Netflix and far above HBO. Netflix calls the data "sobering." Of course, this is only in the Netherlands, which appears to be an outlier. Looking at global data, the graph is far different, with Netflix soaring far, far above Popcorn Time and HBO. Still, it's a sign that Popcorn Time is gaining prominence. Netflix is a great piracy deterrent because it's cheap and easy — but Popcorn Time is now making piracy easy, too. For Netflix, that's cause for concern.
