Quote from MadCatX :

In the benchmarks I saw the FX-4100 was pretty much on par with i3-2120.

Yeah. A "quad-core" CPU on par with LOWER-clocked dual core CPU.
Kinda implies that those four integer cores don't do much.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Could give me a 450mb 720p video in 18mb if I wanted. Not sure of quality but yeah!

..what length?
450MB can go from 1 minute (uncompressed RGB32) to 1 hour.

Quote from Patel151 :

Developer Said:As usual for an upgrade, the cost of your existing license will be deducted from the full price.

What does that mean?

This means that S2 -> S3 will cost 24 GBP less than 'new' S3.

Edit: I'm kinda late. derp

It's so long that this forum splits it in separate 3 words while it actually is not split, lol.

that's a real word actually, @least according to wikipedia

Don't get a faildozer.
FX-4100 is actually dualcore CPU for most of tasks (gaming, rendering, etc) cause it has only two FPU cores.
Integer cores don't matter for 90% of CPU-intensive apps.

Even a i3-2100 would be much faster than that Faildozer.

Yeah, and god exists.

So guys, I heard some countries have such thing as detention yet still claim to be first-world.
sorry for offtopic

What app you use to render?

For youtube, optimal is 30 fps / H.264 / CRF=23 (or, if you use bitrate-targetting encoder - 5 mbit/s)
StaxRip and MeGUI are good starting apps for that.. for StaxRip, you'd want to use something like this (settings):

(ignore the Resize setting, it'll change to video's resolution as soon as you actually open source video)

If you have decent CPU (sandy bridge smth) it'll take approximately as long for it to encode as video itself lasts.

Also disable antivirus when playing LFS - considering how weak your laptop is, this can actually help.

Quote from ACCAkut :

what do plan to do?

9x Cree XM-L, driven at 2A each :P
Most HTPC coolers have small bases, no way I could fit 9 XM-L's there (3x3), they could fit 4 at most (2x2), but Shuriken Rev. B looks like it could fit even 10 (3x2 on base plate, 2 on each side chunk). Thanks :P

A typo.

Nop. broken temp sensor it is, cause 75°F = 24°C, and you have 20°C.. a cooler without TEC element can't do that just physically.

Well dunno that's weird.. Even top-tier coolers like Noctua NH-D14 have at least +3°C offset to room temp.
Try RealTemp as last resort, if it shows same thing - I have no idea what to think.

Well, then, as I said - your sensor is broken.
Try some other app.. e.g. SpeedFan or Speccy or smth.

Quote from micromental :

it depends what power needs of your processor, your motherboard, your video and sound cards, and everything else that goes inside your computer needs the add it all up

I would say about 600w at a minimum

That's funny you say that, because max. draw of GTX 580 is 300W, max. draw of i7-2600K is 95W, and max. draw of mobo+HDD+everything else is ~50W, making it 500W _at most_ and a good 450W if not running something crazy like buttcoins or Folding@Home for 24/7.

Keep building PC's.. but please do it just for yourself. ._.

Grow up !!! tristancliffe Tut Tut

So uhm, you build computers.
ok, I need some assistance. I'm building a rig with quad-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and GeForce GTX 580. How powerful power supply would I need for this one?

What's your room temp?

Your 95W i7, right.
Also, either your thermal sensor is broken or it's cold in your room. Get yourself a heater or smth

If something is good for you, it doesn't means it'll be good for him.


k?

Sure why not

0.5 Sone is equal to 30 dB of 1kHz sine-wave.

Your cooler's fan has noise rating of 30 dB. Stop writing those gimmicky "Sone" numbers used by manufacturers who are ashamed of their dB ratings.

Quote from Kristi :

Yea. If I fart under your nose and the books say that it should be smelly yet you don't smell anything, then is it smelly or not?

"Fart" is not SI unit of measuring smell, dB is SI unit of measuring noise.
Your comparison makes as much sense as your avatar.

Also OP why are you using Windows XP (rls date: 2001) in year 2012? It's like using Windows 98 (rls date: 1998) in 2009.
