    Respawnuo reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Best "Compressed Air" To Clean Dust From My PC   
    If you tilt the can upside down and spray it, the stuff comes out as a liquid but it's basically like liquid nitrogen, so it'll evaporate quickly. It's also inert so it's not going to run any electronics (unless it condensates the air around them)

    This actually looks kind of cool. If NMS gets discounted a bit I might just give it a chance.

    Answers from 18 year IT veteran.
     
    1: Biggest issue today is data security which is something every discipline of IT can do something about.
    2: As a current employer I need people that can just simply think and take initiative w/o having to be micro managed.  That is the most important quality I look for.  Otherwise any IT discipline can make good pay and it'll depend on the area/market you are looking for a job.  The key is to learn and move on to another job to keep learning.  If you are at a job doing the same thing your career is going to suffer big time.  My average was about 3 years per job which drove my wife crazy.  Its also where you'll get the big jumps in pay.
    3: I would say that web designers pretty much have died out [IMHO and as I started my IT career as one] and you shouldn't spend time with that.
    4:  A degree is no guarantee as I look for people who have solid real world experience and can perform under pressure, no degree can provide that.  New college grads would say in an interview...  "Well we did some labs to simulate that".  It'll also depend on the college you get the degree from.  ie a degree from MIT would probboaly be better than most.
    5: Documentation will always plague you but can save your a$$ if it hits the fan.

    No, no, no. The human doesn't sync with your monitor. Our eyes can't be just a single set of FPS, like 60 or 144. Our eyes are unique, and every one is different.

    You can't really compare the two cards, because they're from different generations. COmparing stats on a video card really only works with the same-gen cards.

    Because the screens in theaters are 21:9. You can see when the ads end how the screen becomes wider. The ads are 16:9 while the movie is 21:9.

    Hey guys. I am trying to see if my problem is actually a problem, and am wanting as many of you as possible to take this survey to let me know if you think outlets that do not properly hold plugs in are an issue worth investigating for my engineering project. Thanks for all the help. And if you want to say anything else about it on here, feel free. Thanks again, I appreciate all the feedback I can get.

    With the extra saved money I would get an SSD, or spend a bit on the GPU.

    Respawnuo reacted to Vitalius in Choosing memory   
    In most cases, the only thing that matters is the generation. Generation is DDR3 or DDR4.

    Memory speed in Megahertz is the number after that, i.e. 2400, 3000, wtv. That matters only if you buy higher speed RAM. Some motherboards don't support higher speeds. In most cases, higher speeds are pointless.

    Then there is timings. That's usually displayed as 7-7-7-21 or something similar. These also generally don't matter and only matter when overclocking (essentially). 

    Then there is voltages. There is low voltage RAM and regular voltage RAM. Low voltage only works in some motherboards IIRC. Again, it only matters if you intend to overclock or found some nice deal on low voltage RAM.

    Lastly, there is RAM capacity. Only some motherboards support higher capacities, but all motherboards support capacities the average user or gamer would need like 8-16GB. Usually capacities higher than that are unnecessary for most people and some motherboards only support 32GB instead of 64GB or 128GB (more than most people need at this time).

    There is dual channel vs quad channel. Dual means it is essentially able to access two RAM sticks at once. Thus, doubling their speed (like RAID 0). Quad means it can do the same, but for four sticks, so quadrupling (4x) their speed. Generally, most people won't notice the difference. RAM sticks aren't sold as compatible for different channel types though so it doesn't really matter when considering RAM choices.

    Respawnuo reacted to Gonio in Question: More, Shorter Heat Pipes vs. Less, Longer Heat Pipes   
    Thats a real difficult question where the theoretical answer is not always applying to the reality and also depends on size of area needed to cool. So sorry to say, but this an overall not usable question for you. You can better ask what is a decent aircooler for a decent price that fits by my requirements and needs. One of the very best coolers currently on the market is the Scythe Fuma: trading blows with the top air coolers like from Noctua, but at a very good pricepoint and also sillent operation at these results.

    I don't understand how longer heat pipes would ever be an advantage other than allowing easier ram clearance. More heat pipes, however, is pretty much always better assuming they are good quality heat pipes not some Chinese crap.

    In that case the Scythe Fuma at a bit over $50 is a good bet. Otherwise the good old Hyper 212 EVO.
