What settings for AIDA and Prime?

I'm trying to undervolt my laptop iGPU (Intel HD Graphics 4600). What program should I use to test if the undervolt is stable?

I live in the Philippines, and the price to speed of the internet here is notoriously crap. I'm on a 2 Mbps connection (laughable, I know right) and I will be switching ISP's since this one throttles daily if you reach 3 GB of data consumption. The cheapest unlimited data plan that I found in my area costs about $26 and offers 3 Mbps of bandwidth. I'm quite sure this is miles better that the current one that I have just for the fact that it is uncapped. However, is 3 Mbps enough for watching YouTube at 1080p30 with no buffering mid-video? My current connection is capable of 720p, but it does buffer a bit mid-video. If not, is it enough to watch fluent 720p?

Thank you So if it says VALID, it's stable, right? The latest drivers from Haswell until Kaby Lake have enabled this function. 3rd generation or less are EOL, according to Intel. https://communities.intel.com/thread/78158 I know the risk, hopefully it will last me 5 more years On mobile devices, not really. https://communities.intel.com/thread/78158

So Intel recently released a driver that lets Intel HD Graphics owners overclock their displays. I successfully overclocked my laptop's display to 75 Hz at native resolution (1366x768) using CRU. How do I verify if my monitor is stable at this frequency?

I ran MemTest86 for 8 passes on a stick of RAM that I bought secondhand. No errors popped up. Does that mean that the stick is fine, or should I run more tests?

So I bought a 4GB Samsung DDR3L RAM from this guy online. It arrived yesterday, plugged it in, booted the laptop up and it worked. Just to be sure, I ran MemTest overnight last night. I set it to run at 8 passes. While running, the RAM info on display showed my 4 GB SK Hynix RAM on DIMM slot 1, which was the default RAM that came with my laptop and not the one that I bought (it was a Samsung RAM). The next morning it said that the test was completed without any errors but it still displayed the RAM info as the 4 GB SK Hynix one. This led me to assume that it only ran the test on the specific module. Then what I did was to remove the SK Hynix RAM and left the Samsung RAM to test by itself. When I booted up MemTest again, I noticed that the active address range was different last night, where both sticks where inserted, from today, where only the Samsung one is inserted. This led me to conclude that MemTest already tested both RAM sticks last night. Is that so? I don't want to waste anymore time testing since I need to edit something. Thanks to all who will help.

Yes, I already set the driver to on, but every time I reboot, it turns back off

Ever since I upgraded to the Creators Update, the Synaptics touchpad application icon has not been showing up on my system tray. Within the application, the "Display icon on system tray" option is ticked on. I tried reinstalling the drivers and after a few reboots, it doesn't show up again. While the service is running on the background, gestures such as the two-finger scroll don't work anymore. Can anyone help me out here?

Thank you for your reply

From what I've read, it isn't that efficient in dishing out faults within the memory.

Should I test the both sticks (even the one that came with my laptop), or only the one that I bought secondhand?

4 GB (the stock one on my laptop) + 4 GB (the one that I bought secondhand) Is it right if I'll only test the stick that I bought, or should I test both?

I bought a secondhand piece of DDR3L for my laptop from a reputable guy online and it will be arriving tomorrow. I wanted to know how many hours should I test it using MemTest?

Thanks for the info How do I resolve the Hard Disk Failure message at post?

I'm looking to bump up my laptop's RAM to 8GB. A stick of 4 GB Samsung DDR3L costs PHP 100 pesos more than a stick of Transcend RAM (both secondhand). I'm a student so any money saved is great. Is Transcend reliable, or should I just go for the Samsung?

Depends on the game. 8 GB will suffice for most games, however I believe some want 16.

So my dad bought this motherboard from Lazada (an online shop here in the Philippines) and it's from a Dell Inspiron 660s. It works, however, there are two problems that I've encountered with it. 1. Windows time is always wrong. Even though it is set to sync automatically, and the Windows Time service is running at automatic, every time I boot the PC up, the time is wrong. 2. Most of the time the PC won't boot up. A message that shows 'Hard Disk Failure' pops up, even though Hard Disk Sentinel reports that my hard drive is at perfect health. It would take multiple attempts for the PC to boot up. Oddly enough, there are times where the PC boots up normally at the first attempt, but this seldom happens. I tried replacing the CMOS battery from an old motherboard I found lying around. The problems still persist. How do I fix these?

Still isn't polished enough for competitive. And besides that, the whole layout isn't balanced at all

Get the XPS. You can't go wrong with the king of Windows ultrabooks

Bump. I'm considering the D3400, D5300, and the 700D.

How do I do that?

This isn't an SSD, though.
