i buy almost everything from amazon warehouse, i bought two half-mech and 1 aula,  majority of the time its products with damaged packaging only so they drop the price. one box looked like somebody ran it over and some rats got to it, but it was brand new inside the box still had the original seal, the one good thing about buying from there is that you can return it for free.

only build for people you know that can actually think properly

this guy was a college graduate and had his own business, when i look back i think it was more him being afraid to break or damage the pc, every person new to a pc has that thought. even when i build a pc i have that fear when i press that power button i have thoughts like "did i put enough thermal paste", are all the cables connected, i hope my psu is not a dud and frys my components,.

now that i am older i have become a bit more patient and fix pc's for free and only charge for parts and dont mind answering any questions at any time since i'm usually up till 3-4 am anyway. especially if it's some 20 something year old hottie. The old guys , meh, i call em back in the morning , lol

Thanks, BTW could i also follow this video too? Are there any major diffrences between the Haswell and the Haswell Refresh?

 

there are no major differences other than the speed from my understanding, though some have said that the 4690k was supposed to be an improvement when it came to chip used and heat produced meaning higher overclocks, so overall you can follow it also 

i didn't want to spend too much time so i ended up just changing the multiplier to 40 and left it there for now since i am only air cooling, maybe when im ready to upgrade i'll push it to the limit just to see what i can get.

if you just need a phone with a long battery life i'd say go for it, i dont really care for the mediatek chipset, though that was because of their previous generations. 

one of the reviews said the charger got hot within a hour, i wonder if that was an isolated incident or the other reviewers didnt notice. 

the other drawback is the non removable battery, i used to buy a lot of chinese phones and that was usually the first thing to go bad due to the low quality chips

I'll do it now I doubt I'd get 4.8 with a 212 evo

if you did, i would take a pic and try to sell it on the bay as the ultimate overclocking 4670k , lol

if you are getting 4.8 on a 4670k you have one hell of a cpu, i could barely get mine to 4.5, did you check cpu-z to see for sure what your  multiplier and bus speed is?

I want more signal on wifi (i take from my neighbord) and i dont have enough signal...at night i have no problem.

i dont need more dl speed im ok with 800kb/s

 

ah ok, lol. yea thats the standard connector, i have mixed and matched antenna on routers and wifi cards so it should work .

http://wireless.gumph.org/content/3/7/011-cable-connectors.html

it looks like the standard connector , idk if it will help with range, i bought one of those cantenna things and it really didnt help too much. 

why arent you going for the 300mbps version with two antennas and higher dl speed?

i moved my pc from one room to another and it unistalled my wifi card drivers, who knows what is going on with this os nowadays, even when i plug in my phone it does the same thing. honestly its becoming a PITA, i'm going back to windows 7 soon

I want the actual box. Partly for the resell but mostly just display and it would look pretty

 

its gonna be hard finding one, i dont think even calling msi would be an option. you could try craigslist or ebay and see if someone is selling the same card and be willing to sell just the box , most sellers there will not ship the box to save on postage since some boxes are mostly dead space.

np, i watched alot of vids but this guide was easier cause all i had to do was copy the other users data, there isnt much for your exact cpu unfortunately but it gives you a general idea at least hopefully or a place to start at least

i forgot to add linus did a vid on this for a visual help

the actual box or a pic pf the box? i dont think there would be an impact on resell value without the box, but you should at least have an anti-static bag if you are going to ship it

i used this for my i5-4670k + asus z97-ar ,  but ended up doing an easy 4.0 since i could only get to 4.4 ghz stable, im assuming it the cpu in your profile

http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

the xbone cabled would be my choice, win 10 has drivers for it and a few games are already pre-configured for the xbone and it feels a bit more comfortable than the xbox 360, though if u can find the 360 wireless adapter you can use the 360 without wires.

idk about the ps4 since i don't have one.

What does a boot CD do? I mean, is it like a basic OS where I can copy my files? And, do you mean I should purchase a new copy of windows 10?

hirens boot cd is something that has a bunch of freeware utilities to help do tasks on your pc when you can boot it or even diagnose some problems. check the site for more info, do a google search on it and you will a lot of references to it from reputable sources. i always have a copy of it whenever i troubleshoot someones pc. there are a few freeware software programs that will allow you to copy your files to a ext drive before you decide to refresh, repair or reinstall your os. 

http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd

you shouldnt have to buy another copy , if im not mistaken if you dl win 10 again from microsoft you should be able to just repair your pc through advanced troubleshooting  vs reinstalling, try to see what options are available upon booting

Also, is there any way of accessing a folder inside the hard drive? I have a couple game-saves I haven't backed up. 

there are a lot of software, i would recommend getting something like hirens boot cd, there is a bunch of software for you to use to copy files. you could also try to get a copy of win 10 and try to repair your computer as an option.

depends on the xbox power setting, if you have set to the quick power on , it is pretty much putting it into sleep mode vs off, which means it can be installing updates at anytime it chooses, even if you think it is off.

do a comparison/review of the oculus rift and its recommended spec vs lower end specs. 

low-end like with the gtx 950 gtx 960, amd r9 280, r9 270x etc

i would like to know if people like me with "capable" cards should really have to invest in a better card to use it.  eventually i will upgrade my card anyway but i dont want to rush out and upgrade my card if i can still enjoy vr without the extra cost. 

also, will game makers actually code into their games the minimum specs and not allow users with lower end specs to play at all, i doubt it but a lot of reviews say in bold caps that everyone "WILL" have to upgrade to vr ready specs.

i should have preordered but because my pc wasn't "ready" i didn't, though if i did i could have sold it for $1k like my friend did and could have upgraded my pc with the extra cash. 

hope someone does these vid's if you decide not to, i think it might be informative to a lot of people on the vr bubble.

microsoft is very bad sometimes, they keep adding updates and they keep screwing people over. 

just today i just moved my pc from one room to another and my wifi card wasnt working, its had been working for 1 month, i opened the case check to see if the card got unseated during the move, tried troubleshooting everything and after 2 hours i found out windows defended somehow quarantined my driver, WTF?? the worst part was i never installed a driver, win 10 did, i ended up having to search for my driver disc and install the drivers  manually.

for your situation i would just play with the resolutions to get it to work or check the tv for an horizontal/vertical setting , check to see if your gpu driver is current , if not install it.

if you can get it working to the point you are satisfied then set up a restore point, that way if microsoft screws you again you can back up to the restore point

what os you running? thats the win 10 desktop. did you recently upgrade or did windows install any updates?

way back when i was building pc's to make money, i once encountered this one guy who knew nothing about computers. i custom built a pc for him, delivered it to his house, spent over 4 hours explaining to him all the ins and outs about the pc.

8 p.m (2hours after leaving his place) - he calls asking me how to hook up all the cables because he moved it into his room(why? because he wanted to search porn in private, lol) 

10 p.m. call again asking me what his password was, he setup his own password i never knew what it was but he asked me anyway . OMG, drive back to his house , hack his password  and spend time convincing him, that its not that easy to do, i just knew how to do it.

2  a.m - final straw, call asking "how do i turn off AOL(yes , Aol, it was that long ago) " , my answer i jokingly said, "pull the plug from the outlet" and he did

next day, another 2 hours explaining everything again, got $20 gas for it but not worth the $1000000 headache.

gave up building pc's for the next 10 years for anyone but myself, until i built one for a relative. but thank god for google and youtube the easy replacement tech support i didnt have to go though the same headache

its a resolution error, try changing the resolution or check if your tv has and auto setting, i used to get that a lot when using an hdmi cable with a 32" tv. it should be ok if you are using a vga cable, it not you might have to go into graphics setting and setup a custom resolution

are you running it on a hdtv?

Nah, it doesn't void the warranty. I also asked them if they could replace the SSD with a 1 TB SSHD and they said yes, with a 1000 PHP (~21 USD) deduction from the original price. Should I go for the SSHD instead? If I go for the SSD, I don't think I'm gonna upgrade in the future.

well that's good that they will do the upgrade for a lower price since its usually the same price with either. an ssd will get you a little better battery life, if you don't plan on putting too much games on it then that might be fine.

i personally would go for the ssd and add a hard drive later if needed if you plan to take the laptop around where there will be a power outlet available then you could save the 1000p and get more storage space. 

overall it's a decent deal, if i had known about that place i might have just bought a laptop from there instead of buying then flying to phils, lol.

nah, its still worth the trip there, except maybe typhoon season
