    Venum reacted to Aniallation in "How many watts do I need"? Check Here!   
    Just a general reference for "how much wattage do I need" questions that are filling the forum. Check these and you'll have a general idea of where to start for shopping for a power supply, and questions can be diverted from "how many watts do I need" to a much more specific "what power supply should I get within my budget that will power a system that needs XXX watts"
     
    Briefing on buying a quality power supply:
     
    Shopping for a power supply is not all about wattage. As much as your mind or people might make it seem like so, it's not. It's about multiple factors, however the most important things are the quality of the PSU and the amps on the 12V rail. Not just watts. This is why the question of "how many watts of a PSU do I need" is becoming drowned out nowadays, because it's no longer a large variable
     
    Info on PSU quality:
     
    Info on PSU 12V rail amps:
     
    On with the numbers!
    Again, These numbers are established assuming you are using a quality power supply. The overclocks are also based on heavy overclocking, including overvolting. 
     
     
    Another way you could get a rough estimate on your own, is take the TDP of the CPU + GPU(s) and add 100W for other components. This should give you a rough estimate of the maximum power draw your PC will require at stock clock speeds.
     
    Use these numbers when shopping for a power supply, but if you're not sure of specifically what model to get, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking! Create a thread in this section that contains your location (country is fine), preferred store or retailer (if any), and your budget. Our community members will be happy to assist you find a good quality power supply that will be quiet, efficient, and reliable. 
     
    Hope this reference guide was of help to you if you're looking to get a new PSU to upgrade or for a build. If there's anything that you feel can be added to this, or if you have any questions then let myself know. This thread is a work in progress and I'll do my best to keep working on it so leave suggestions!   Thanks for looking!

    Could you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve?
    @wolfsinner's post is indeed the general form of the Fibonacci sequence, if you mean something else you will have to formulate it in a different way so it is understandable for the people trying to help you.

    Venum reacted to wolfsinner in Need help Fibonacci series C language   
    What do you mean with "without inputing any integer but instead directly calculates the next three numbers"? The next three numbers to what?
     
    The general form for a fibo series is starting with the base cases:
    fib(0) = 0fib(1) = 1 And getting the next elements with:fib(n) = fib(n-2) + fib(n-1), n > 1 So if you want to get the first 10 fibonacci numbers:
    int sequence_sz = 10; //first 10 fibonacci numbersint fib[sequence_sz];if(sequence_sz > 0){ fib[0] = 0; if(sequence_sz > 1) fib[1] = 1; for(int i = 2 ; i < sequence_sz ; i++) fib[i] = fib[i-2] + fib[i-1];}

    remove your gpu and some hard drives put them in a tight secure container. and the rest stays in the chassis, just make sure you dont move it all the time. I assume you have a car as means of transport.

    Venum reacted to LinusTech in ** CLOSED ** HTC Forum Giveaway - A Chance to Win 1 of 4 HTC Phones!   
    SPONSOR MESSAGE (please read)

    HTC has been making massive waves with their HTC One Android smartphone, and while unfortunately we are not able to bring you any HTC Ones in this giveaway, the available options are absolutely rockin'. My wife has been using a DROID DNA for quite a while now, and with its S4 Pro processor and gorgeous 1080p screen it is a head-turner in spite of, or perhaps BECAUSE of the fact that most people don't recognize exactly what phone it is, particularly here in Canada.
     
    TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible. You guys freakin' rock and the support you're showing for our brand new community is overwhelming!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    PHONE GIVEAWAY RULES & REGULATIONS 
     
    Guys, this is one of the biggest giveaways we've ever done. HTC is making it all possible by providing us with not one, not two, not three, not four... Oh wait actually four.
     

     
    FOUR phones to give away!! ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.....
     
    Not only that, but you get to PICK your prize! Read on for more details.
     
    This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway, so I'm keeping it "unofficial" and opening it up to the world. With that said HTC is going to cover helping me ship TWO of the phone globally, while the other two will only be shipped to the USA only. We will draw four winners and in a case where more than 2 winners are outside of the USA will we re-draw.
     
    Now for the really cool part. You actually get to PICK the phone you want from the list of available phones! With that said, the phones available in the different regions vary a little bit.
     
     
    Prizes: 4 HTC smartphones with a "pick your prize" approach!
     
    USA winners can pick between the following: 
     
    DROID DNA
    HTC 8X
    HTC One S
    HTC EVO 4G LTE
    HTC One X+
     
    International winners can pick between the following:
     
    HTC One X+
    HTC 8X
    HTC 8S

    Venum got a reaction from BeyondEvolution in Updating Asus Mobo Bios   
    My cousin has a AMD FX-4300 and a Asus M5a78L-M LX3 which is I think cannot support the new FX series unless updated.
     
    My question is can I update the mobo BIOS using the said processor without any issues?
    Im planning to build his rig using those parts and gonna update the mobo once it boots up with the FX procie.
    Is this okay even with an outdated BIOS version?

    This build is pretty good. For $350, this is really the best you can get. This one has a much better hard drive, but otherwise is pretty much the same as Helltechs(with a case though).http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ctn7
