Wait, are you messing with me? 4gigs is more than enough for some video watching :b

Should it be? i only got to test it for a couple of minutes before leaving on holiday, and I saw quite a lot of dropped frames about 100/700 on a 1080p 60fps youtube stream

So im building a htpc out of some older spare parts, but I'm not really sure if it's enough for 1080p 60fps youtube /netflix streaming. i have a Sfx 200w powersupply, so I can't put anything major in it. i also have a 9500gt if that's any better. anyone using something similar? Specs: FX 1800 4gb ram Some old x58 Xeon with 4 cores

You might just be unlucky, although that gpu will blow away games either way. You could try increasing core voltage

Maybe if you try really hard, but you should not worry about scratching your components with you nails. Very hard to do

Lately i have been trying to make a bootable linux usb for benchmarking and troubleshooting pc's laptops etc. I do alot of that stuff on my free time and not having to bring a big ssd is a big plus. I have no experience with linux but i managed to get slax installed on a 2gb USB 2.0 usb stick. Everything boots up fine (Guessing drivers get installed automaticly?) But when i launced a furmark thing the whole system turns off? Anyway i'm a noob and need some help with benchmarking with linux.

That did it! No idea why that was on... runs on 1,3v 3ghz ~3,5ghz 92% usage

So i just got an fx 6300 and a MSI 970 gaming motherboard for really cheap. The issue is that the CPU caps out at around 40% usage when running prime95 or Aida64. It's stuck at 7 multiplier and 1,4ghz (0,9v). ive set the bios to default and cleared cmos without any results. High performance mode in windows does nothing. Im guessing there are some settings in the bios? Anybody know of this issue?

Open it up and add some kind of shielding maybe?

if you are lazy, put it in the washing machine, if not clean it with cloth drenched in warm water

You have to go more in detail here.. Any beeps, light etc? You have the thing plugged into charger right? You might just have a fried component if it shut down like that. If you don't have any warranty left you might aswell take a look inside and try with other ram unplug harddrive etc

you should put in a solid psu. that makes the machine way more reliable

That looks pretty good! Are the clocks stable tho? they often go down after stresstesting for a long time. Ive always been sceptical to evga's coolers but those temps looks really nice

It's mostly in laptops that TN panels are a no-go. In a monitor you will be looking at it from the same angle pretty much. As for colors you will be fine if you are not doing anything that needs accurate colors

Oh wow, i meant to say Cryorig h7. The tower style cooler. Sorry about that, fixed now

i'm buying a new aircooler for a pc that i will sell, (2011, so coolers are generally expensive). I have a hyper 212 in my main system and it looks kinda hideus so i would want to buy a cryorig H7 for my pc and use the hyper 212 for my other system. So my question is if i will be fine with the H7? I run a 4690k at 4.5ghz 1.3v and the 212 always keeps it under 70c. Also the hyper 212 has a Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan attached so i should probably use that one on the H7? EDIT: H7, not C7

Price and cooling performance

most likely something you cant do anything about. this would be a warranty thing. Ive had soooo many loud powersupplys you have no idea, i guess thats just a common thing with old/ cheap power supplys. I usually change the fan with a silencio 120.

nobody wants ram just for amd, mostly for 775 socket mobos. I think there is something with the memory controller? probably wrong on that

I managed to fix it by putting the mobo a testbench and changing ram. guessing the ram was the problem

Unfortunately i had the same thing happening at the same exact time... The usb installer did work flawlessly before, so im guessing something is fucked with the motherboard

ok, downloading the iso right now. I really hope this is gonna work as its tiring

i am pretty sure it was after clicking next when selecting target drive

Burn it on a CD or usb? Dont have a bog enough cd.

So I've been having craptons of issues installing Windows 10 on this one machine and it's driving me nuts. first off everything is normal I boot into my usb stick but there was an error saying it can't find licensing agreement for Windows software or something. I try again this time with another sub stick and I get a load of other errors saying something is wrong with boot media so I use the mediacreation tool to make a fresh usb and now I'm stuck at the same thing that happened in the first place. after that I gave up on installing on the pc itself and tried taking a working install from a similar computer and putting that in the system. But that just resulted in many more frustrating hours of troubleshooting that lead to nothing. (Internet not working, bluecreens, flickering, freezing, buttons not clickable etc) Machine I'm trying to install Windows 10 on: i5 2400 asus motherboard with uefi 7870 gpu Machines I tried transferring drives between: (taking the ssd i want to install Windows on and putting it in a different pc to then put it back without installing drivers etc) i7 2600 pc with asus motherboard (same uefi) i5 4690k pc (wouldn't even boot) i7 920 pc (not uefi) This is just really ennoying and I would really appreciate if anyone knows what the hack is going on.
