Dual channel will help with general GPU performance. Which'll likely have a positive effect on 4K playback. Can't say to what degree as that depends on the player.
 
I can't answer that for you.
I personally as someone who regularly has a couple dozen tabs open, the extra ram would be useful.

Should do.

In theory it should work just fine. The sticks wont run in dual channel mode so having mismatched timings and all that isn't as much of an issue.
I must recommend getting a 16gb kit instead if possible.

At the top of hwmonitor it shows voltages. I would look for anything way low or way high than what the base shows like 5v , 3.3v, and especially 12v. THE vin 3 and vin4 should read the same as your bios presets, along with your vcore.

Looks like Linus is excited to play this game

Probably a bad driver. Time to get a new one and restore the backups.
 
If you don't have a backup, boot your system into linux and image it with ddrescue. Else, send it to a data recovery service.

its makes a image of the whole drive, but unlike most imaging programs it will skip bad part of the drive. 
 
You then recover data from the image, so you stop using the drive, if you useing the drive to recover from, your putting reads on it and it might die, and lose everything.
 
You don't really want to chose the data, you want a image first

had this problem
 
#1, does the port have enough power?
 
#2,  are you up to date on drivers
 
#3,  does it work on another PC
 
 
it all else fails, take the drive apart, pull the usb circuitry apart from the sata connection and use a desktop sata connection to pull your data off.  
 
 
I had a silicon power drive that one day just stopped getting enough power through the usb part of it.  removed it from the case and put it in the pc and bought a new one. 

You can compress the image, but the space taken up depends on the stuff on the drive.
 
Other wise you will make a image that is the full size of the drive.
 
 

all i can tell you for sure is that i have had the same problem   at it always seemed to be related to power and the USB.   Id take it apart personally.   Ive never once had good luck with any of the 1tb spinning disk external disk I've had.     I switched over to a m.2 usb enclosure and put a 512 in it. 

Build a wooden mount like Luke did in Scrapyard Wars 3

Yesterday, I built my friend a new PC. So here are the Specs:
 
Intel Core i7 6700K
Gigabyte Z170 HD3
Cooler Master Seidon 120V
2x8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 2133MHz
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
ASUS Strix R9 390 8GB DCUIII
Corsair Spec 02 (It was initially was going to be a mid range PC but ended up into a higher end one.)
Antec High Current Pro Gamer 850M

The CPU in the board

The water cooler

The board in the case, had to take it out once to route the 8pin EPS

The graphics card (It looks awesome)

The water cooler in, side panel now doesnt shut due to our push pull config

The final PC
 
Hope you enjoyed this PC build!

Welcome to my first build log!
 
The process is going to take around two months due to the wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Black Friday came and it was wonderful!

Edited to show part changes/pictures

Update #1
 
So, I actually built the computer last week, and I don't have any pictures cause I forgot).
Here are pictures of the parts I used.
 
I have a video of the parts and me building it, but I still need to edit it.

Hey guys, I got my EVGA ACX 980ti a few days ago and went ahead and put it in my gaming PC. I was able to get a great overclock Core Clock is 1568Mhz and Memory Clock is 3808Mhz with a 105% Power limit and +10 on the core voltage. It runs at about 74C under full load for extended periods of time.
 
I was able to play Fallout 4 Maxed at 1080p with a min frames of about 47 fps when out in the world. Max obviously of 60 since I capped the framerate. In Crysis 3 maxed out I was averaging about 42fps overall. All in all I am very happy with my GPU purchase and won't need an upgrade for quite awhile. If anyone else has this GPU lemme know what overclocks you got and if you are happy with the performance
 
Here is my FireStrike test results for you guys in case you wanted to see it!: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9484216?

I think today's update is the most appropriate use for the term "Hotfix"

Except for those who want to keep it air cooled will be be disappointed when it thermal throttles because of the reference cooler.
 
Would look better though, yes. MUCH better.

We had the same sort of scaling appear on previous generations but only in certain games, Arma 3 for example after its released showed considerable gains from increases in RAM frequency.
 
What this says about the game and its data don't fit well into the cache of the CPU and that large amounts of additional memory bandwidth help the games to perform. Considering how well the 5820 does compared to the 4790k that doesn't surprise me, I have suspected for a while that the performance benefits of the 6 cores (including the older ones like the 3930k) is based quite a lot on the increased memory bandwidth the extra cache provides. Extra memory bandwidth and extra cache are becoming more and more important to CPU performance as the gap between the components widens.
