    Gaming laptop help

    Did some testing on my NP8658-S. I ran the Unigin Heaven benchmark and looped it a few times temps were mostly at 63c but every once in awhile went to 64c. I then ran FurMark for awhile and it maxed out at 78c. I didn't notice any thermal throttling in either test for the 980m.

    Gaming laptop help

    I have an odd use case. The ram(since upgraded to 64gig) is for running Cisco VIRL to simulate networks. I went with 4k for screen real estate outside of gaming. But make sure you have good vision because 4k on a 15" screen is tiny. The only reason I got the 6820k was in case I wanted to...

    I bought a 290X and run my 2500k at 4Ghz. I haven't had any real issues even with my 4k monitor. I don't play any real CPU intensive games though.

    Practical purpose for /30 subnet?

    I work for a large corp and we still use /30's they are all rfc 1918 space so we haven't seen it be an issue. But then we also use public space internally. Oh this BOGON is fine or hey we will never need to talk to that DOD network.

    CPU for 4k video

    I didn't think 4k HEVC @60FPS was that big a deal. I guess if I look back I remember having to install a mpeg2 card to get smooth DVD playback on one of my computers. I guess since content is mostly non existent so I won't worry about it, I can game fine at 4k for the games I play.

    CPU for 4k video

    I recently bought a 4k monitor and 290x to upgrade my desktop(built 2011) I have a 2500k in it and I hadn't overclocked it(sacrilegious I know). I can't play good 4k video(youtube plays ok) without maxing out the CPU and dropping frames. I OCed to 4.9Ghz and while the drops are very small now...

    basic 4k card

    Found out the 15watt I am seeing is the proc of the GPU only and the Memory/other components add to that. I will hook up my power meter and see what the power draw went to by changing the 6770 to the 290x. I did a 10% overclock on cpu/mem and am running at ~83C. 1100Mhz CPU/1510Mhz Mem. Not...

    basic 4k card

    I do not have the 4k display yet but installed the 290x to drive my 2 existing monitors. At the desktop the card is drawing ~15 watts with both monitors running. Not sure if the third monitor will change things but doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

    Is mining cryptocurrency still a thing?

    If the Bitcoins were at Mt Gox then they are gone. I believe the deadline to file a claim has passed as well. I had an empty account but still got all the emails from the bankruptcy. I don't think Video cards are economical now(at least for bitcoins. I believe it went to FPGA then ASIC. I...

    basic 4k card

    I should have made that clear the triple monitor isn't for gaming. The triple monitor is just for productivity or watching a movie/TV. I am looking to game on just the 4k. Looking at that 390 made me realize I have another issue. I need 2xDVI as the existing monitors do not have HDMI or DP. The...

    Backblaze and Seagate

    I bought 10 seagate 3TB drives, Of the 10 all but 1 have errors. 3 of them ended up in the trash since they would no longer work at all. They were bought based purely on price and at the time I didn't understand how bad they really were. Going forward if one dies I will replace it with a...

    anyone know a low cost high endurance ssd

    The 840 PRO was on my list. I was primarily looking at published write endurance. And even on most higher end SSD's they have only slightly elevated published write endurance. I am sure I would have been fine with an 840 PRO or likely any decent SSD but I think you roll the dice on endurance...

    800GB of writes in 2 months with page file disabled? (SSD)

    I went through the same thing recently. I used up 6TB of writes in a year. Still got awhile till it is warn out but I guess I have write endurance anxiety. The resource monitor in windows 7 or newer is a huge help as it can monitor what program is writing to the SSD.

    When should you need more than 8GB of ram?

    I had a 8gb stick fail and was down to only 8gb and I did have windows pop-up complaining about low memory. It was always the because I have a bad habit of having 30-40 tabs open in chrome. For gaming I didn't notice any issues with only 8gb.

    Raspberry Pi 2 vs Odroid-C1

    For an openelec box the RPi2 is better as it is officially supported. Someone is building openelec for the various odroids and I have no problems but it is a few revisions behind. I do notice issues with some framerates(something .97 I recall) on the odroid-c1 but the RPi2 plays the same...

    Crucial MX200 vs MX100 bad for intensive IO workloads + big bootup difference

    Here is how I look at Dynamic Write Acceleration: Our drive is slow so we need to do some magic to make it look faster if your only doing a "small" amount of work. For the average desktop user it is probably fine, Me personally I wouldn't buy a drive that had it. It is probably unique to the...

    Anyone else notices that RAM prices are finally coming down?

    a few years back I bought a 2x8gb kit for my laptop for 66$. I had to RMA one 2 months ago and figured it would be cheap and easier to just buy a new one but it was more expensive to buy a single 8gb stck than the kit I had bought. Prices should be much lower than they are I would think.

    Looking for a plug mount access point

    If you have an Ethernet jack just use an additional access point(or router configured as just an AP). As long as the SSID and key are the same the client should select the best access point.

    Blocking WiFi
