Off-Topic Thread

BaconZombie

Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

What be that. Which one would be good?

something like this
You can get them with more knobs.
You can get them with temp sensors and they will auto adjust the fan speed according to the settings you put in.
and so on...

Thanks Solitaire who re-edited some of the guides. I made a few changes in all of them but the biggest changes were to the SSD one.

You stick a panel in the front of the case, then hook up the fans to that, and give it power, then it allows you to manually set the speed. A simple one with 3/4 control knobs will do you fine.

Whats gonna happen if I just have on running now? Say, the CPU one, and the front fan, but not the second fan sucking air out? I have vents and that, but will it still get dangerously hot without the second fan sucking? Is there any way I can get a splitter to act properly instead of having them go full speed all the time? Why the hell would a mobo maker put only one chassic fan connection on...

My mobo only has one chassis fan header, but I have two, one in one out. How can I use both?

One of these. But it will run full tilt all the time.

Something like this will help

Some kind of humble bundle rip off? Bah

Indie Royale, the Fall Bundle.

Don't really play many games but that "To The Moon" is brilliant apparently.

Decided to attempt a serious budget build. An entire Sandy Bridge PC for 250 euro. Ordered the parts. Going to assemble and benchmark next week hopefully.

Cheers Serephucus for the help anyway

Yes iv plugged it in the right jacks

Stupid question, I know, sorry. Just wasn't anything else I could think of. You can enable 5.1 in CCL, but that won't effect music. You need to also enable CMSS-3D if that's what you're looking for, or DTS/DDL if your speakers can decode either of those.

Do you have it plugged in the right jacks? The only way you'd get Windows to affect it would be if you had it plugged into the motherboard's onboard ports.

Daniel K drivers, but they're a little out of date at this point.

ah damn, thanks Serephucus

Its strange I got the titanium hd today and I can change it to 5.1 in windows and hear the results but I change it in creative console launcher and no 5.1
strange

whats that driver for creative sound cards that isnt offical. It was created because the offical ones are crap

CRTs have been known to kill as well. They can store electrical power for a long time.

Not a nice way to go. Could have been a faulty PSU so even if he was following standard procedure, it might have caught him by surprise.

frozenfrozen

Paperclip hotwiring a psu maybe?

Really sad..

Serephucus

The title is misleading. He wasn't killed while taking apart his computer, he was killed while fiddling with his PSU, which is an entirely different ball game. Playing with the only component in a desktop that stands a very real chance of killing you isn't a great idea, unless you're paranoid about electrical safety.

I'm mainly using this pc for video editing, and so I'm really limited to either windows or osx. I have a burning love for all things linux, but until the day where I don't have to dual boot, I'll have to stay away. Wine isn't an option either because although I would be able to some or most of the programs I need, I wouldn't have the same integration between them...

I'll miss sony vegas though... it's the only NLE where cropping video wasn't a complete afterthought (read: premiere adding crop marks is literally just an image overlaying the top and bottom of a video)

Serephucus

Have a look at Ubuntu or Mint or something before you go to OSX. I've been using it quite a bit in labs recently, and I like it so much that when I get the time I'll be dual booting it with Win7.

Genghiz Cohen

Why not Linux, Ubuntu 12.12 has a very OS X feel to it.

Changed to avast because MSE wasn't installing updates for me at all last week. After a few days of not using my pc I tried to turn it on there a few minutes ago and kept getting the black limbo screen (nothing else but mouse, which you can move..) so went into safemode and uninstalled avast as it was the last thing I had changed and sure enough I was able to boot in fine.

I'm having more troubles than windows is worth to me these days. I don't play games anymore at all, and prores would be handy for video editing so I'm seriously thinking about going hackintosh with this.. AFAIK all my components are compatible, 3930k and 580...
Could pick up another small SSD and install onto that. Worst case scenario I lose the 30 quid I'd have to spend on buying lion
