  1. Hello everyone. I need to buy a new computer for collage as my current one was stolen. Here are my notes and thoughts. Also I'm in the UK. minimum specs I'd like to have: A 4 core CPU that benches at a minimum of -15% in comparison to a i5-6600k. I would like it to have the equivilent of atleast a 1650. any storage options. any ram as long as it's not soldered and has 2 slots. 5 hours of battery life. A 14 inch 1080p 60Hz screen is a must as a minimum. bonuses: Removable battery or 7+ hours of battery life. Can be purchased without windows. For a display I'd like it to have a 15 inch 120Hz+ 1080p+ display It has a 1660 ti equivilent or better so that I can play some games. It can be bought without any storage drives included. It has an m.2 slot along with room for a 2.5" HDD It comes with a fare warenty but I don't really mind this one. Considderations: I want to buy/upgrade to 16GB of ram from CEX. I'd also like to buy my storage seperate. That being a m.2 NVME drive. I will also be installing arch linux on it so there is no need for windows. Usecase: I will be running 3-4 virtual machines at a time and would like the boot times to be relitively quick. I'm a cyber security student. I's also like to play some games like CSGO, Doom 2016 and doom eternal.

  2. I was just hoping to host a apache2 website without all the vulnerabilities and issues with hosting a WordPress site.
  3. Hello, does anyone know of a software that allows me to build a website drag and drop style and export the websites source code? Ideally It would be like square space or WordPress but I would be able to export the web page code (HTML/CSS/PHP).
  4. Hello, I bought a cpupple Gpu risers that have a USB-3 connection between the mobo and the cards. i was wondering if this made them hot swappable especially if the card is not the main gpu displaying graphics (these are for my mining rigs)
  5. iv gotten from 19Mh to 25Mh this OC is definitely only stable for ethereum mining however i want to squeeze as much as i can out of these cards (Scottish student I don't pay for electricity) i somehow don't think that this is the limit for these cards
  6. hello, i am mining ethereum on a set of 4 MSI GTX 1060 3Gb and MSI afterburner is not letting me go over +1000MHZ on the mem clock. (current clocks across all cards: 1569core/5000mem)(overclock rates: -400core/ +1000mem)(i sit at 58C on full load)
  7. i have the 4 molex that ill need i have a gigabyte g1 sniper z170 mobo
  8. Hello, i have a 6600k and a z170 mobo. I currently have attached a GTX 1060,NVME m.2 SSD and 4 Storage drives. I wanted to know if i could use this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391853307718 to connect up another 3 graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining (i'm a student who doesn't pay for electricity and im bored). the cards i have to connect are GT710 GT 730 and a R7770. side note: i have a 650 watt power suply will it cope aswell?
  9. but it definitely looks better compared to 1440x1080 its not blury at all
  10. Whats going on here. is there going to be a minecraft 1v1 cus i want 4:3 streched?
  11. yeah but useing 1920x1440 is crispy clear on the graphics side
  12. on 1920x1080 running 1920x1440 is not only stretched but is crispy clear
  13. i find its more for long range headshots e,g, at 2600 units a head is 3 pixl at 16:9 however on 4:3 its 5pix witch is the gap of mt crosshair
  14. Iv been playing 4:3 stretched for 2 years (iv got 4,000 hours in game) itd take too much to get used to 16:9 again
  15. i used to play with 1920x1440 on my 1080p but now iv upgraded to a 1440p I don't know what resolution to use to keep the quality
  16. Hay, I have a dedicated CS:GO DM server and i want to turn it into a FFA. can anyone help me out?
