General computer talk/advice

Automatically assuming I look at furry porn..... Just like any good ol' Southerner. (Southerners assume a lot of shit.) Anyway, I closed some tabs, and now the most memory intensive thing I have running is Beam...

 

Otherwise, across all my machines, never duplicated it. Had over 50 tabs open and less ram than that used.

 

my solution to ram usage problems of chrome:

use 64-bit chrome instead of 32-bit chrome, it's insanely improved over 32-bit chrome in terms of ram usage

 

Oh god. Change that motherboard immediately. Get an i5-4690K and a Z97 board.

Not just for the sake of having a board that is not crap, but B85 does not support CrossFire, not sure if it could actually run the 295X2 or if it would run as a single 290X. I mean, they are literally two 290X GPUs running in CFX on the same board.
Also, you're buying an unlocked CPU and a board that does not support overclocking.

 

A board that due to older chip set doesn't recognise the processor either. Needs a 2nd older processor to boot the board up just to update the BIOS and use first CPU again.

 

Unless it's been sitting in a warehouse for months, (which it might well have been), it should have an updated BIOS. Either way, trust me, cheap ASrock boards are awful pieces of shit and you should avoid them. Only one I ever built with, on a cheap office box, died in the first week of using it.

The higher end ASrock boards seem to be fine (I still would not buy one), but their budget boards are just crap.

 

*Ahem* Now for a computery subject. Internet boobs.

I'm a furry. Deal with it. :3

Actually, when I got my TSO at school to put it in for me, he took out one of the GPU IO slot thingeys at the bottom of the case and he... left it in the case by mistake XD so it has airflow, I don't think the cables are in the way, there isn't a whole lot of them considering I only have 400w, but he did say this, and I quote "I think I know what I'm doing, if I break this it is not my fault" so maybe he didn't work on the cable's, I'll look into it.

 

I need a windows cd, i can get the key but where can i find legitimate windows CD, idk how im gonna get paypal money :/

 

Legit uncracked Windows ISOs are legal to download and burn. It's illegal to crack those, not to use a legit key.

 

Can u give me links plz to those ISO's i don't wanna go to thepiratebay and get some destructive malware

 

You said it twice in like 6 hours...originality is key.

 

I'd check to make sure both the fans are spinning under load and also check the fan curve in MSI afterburner. Full load my Galax 970 only hits 66.

 

Yea, but you didn't laugh the first time.

I know, I know. :<

 

CF just needs two pci-e slots running at 8x or 4x IIRC. One card with two GPUs will work any any board.

 

*please. Not everyone here is a native english speaker so please be considerate.



They are hosted by microsoft on the relevant product pages. So for windows 7, go to the windows 7 page at microsoft and there should be a download button for the ISO somewhere. I'd grab it for you, but I'm heading out the door.

CF also needs chipset support and most GPU's will not perform at full capability in an 8x slot. If you want true crossfire, just use a board with genuine twin 16x slots.

 

So now i ordered that r9 295x2 set, changed the motherboard to msi Z97i Ac.

Can't wait to next week

 

You have to have your non-OEM key on hand. And rather than downloading the ISO in your browser, you have to download a downloader. And the downloader is extremely slow.

 

If it's anything like the old visual studio download procedure, there is a direct download link underneath.

 

That's usually a sign that the joke was (and will continue to be) not funny.
