how do CPU's ACTUALLY WORK?
what does happen inside them?

millions of small gnomes running to eachother passing information with them

The same shit that happens in a hand held calculator.

go back

Billions of little transistors sit at desks and figure out the problems you put into the CPU.

While stress testing my cpu, OCCT shows it at 34c while HWMonitor shows it at 55c.

Which is the more accurate reading?

Can anyone help me get this MPV gif generator working?

gist.github.com/Ruin0x11/8fae0a9341b41015935f76f913b28d2a#file-mpv-gif-lua

It seems to work but I can't find the GIF anywhere. Any ideas?

What's the best (simplest) way to backup a full copy of a drive onto another without compression? Seems like a simple fucking thing to do but all a web search is suggesting me are some bloated pajeetware programs or a paid, proprietary software.

>have animal that shits on your floor
>complain when you buy something that automatically drives around your floor goes through the shit
I hope this person doesn't reproduce.

>backup a full copy without compression
You mean clone? Simple as shit.

oh yeah well with what fucking tool or command do I use to accomplish this?

Do OS restarts count as power cycles? I'm paranoid about wear & tear or whatever while tinkering in bios.

The os restarts don't hurt it, but if you change enough stuff where the bios parks the head, and spins it up again, it will be another power cycle.

I could list 5 others off the top of my head. Literally just google "clone drive"

Posted last thread with no answer, hope you guys can help.

I upgraded to a bigger monitor and ever since, watching streams in 1080p makes my computer freeze/crash. Playing fullscreen games like Destiny 2 or even watching a stream at 720p or lower has no effect. It only ever happens at 1080p. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

On a related note: that sort of thing shouldn't harm unmoving components like the CPU, right?

I used Macrium Reflect when I cloned my laptop drive to an SSD and it worked pretty well, resized partitions and all.

Yeah that's why I ranked it first. Resizing and automatic PSO.

Nah CPUs cant be hurt by spinning drives.

Any technical ideas why this might be happening?
I emailed AMD but a paki representative recommended me to install some 3rd party app and do a clean install which I already have done, wasn't waiting for this 'specialist' to tell me to..
Pretty much alone with this, the support son't care one bit..

seems like OCCT is reading from a sensor on the mobo instead of a sensor on the CPU.

might sound stupid but try swaping the monitors' cable.

Your monitor might want to tell your card it's off however by some reason it cant.

>turn off the second to play some games
why

Be distracted by the background. I have a black image from google to open each time.

Could it mean that my GPU is dying? I thought it would be something about refresh rates.. One monitor is HDMI and the other is old DVI one.

kinda dumb question here :
>opensuse tumbleweed
>secondary encrypted hard drive I dont want to automount on boot
>deleted entry from fstab
>marked as "do not mount" on the partitioner
>still asking for password on boot.

I can press enter 3 times to fail the password & "force" to boot and the system will work fine. I can then click on the hard drive on the file explorer and it will prompt a password and then access the file.

am I missing something ?

I think systemd is trying to mount the drive even when i told fstab and the partitioner not to.

But I use Mate.

>Could it mean that my GPU is dying? I thought it would be something about refresh rates.. One monitor is HDMI and the other is old DVI one.

I will put my money on some stupid monitor detection bug. I'm assuming your primary monitor is the HDMI where you play. Try unplugging the DVI completely.

Are you using some kind of adapter like HDMI to DVI ?

That's obviously the search bar. It's weird that it there when you're watching something though

If you have an LCD display, image persistence.
If you have an OLED, plasma or CRT, burn in.

I bought a Samsung 860 evo ssd, a y cable, and a Orico enclosure to expand the storage of my Wii U, but when I tried formatting it the console does not recognize it and it's stuck on the "finding external memory" screen. I figure that the issue is with the enclosure, but now I'm not sure which one I should get. Any help?

Why does my second monitor keep blinking black when I switch between the two? Could it be because they're at different refresh rates?

I want to scan some magazines for archival purposes, but scanning page by page because my printer's scanner is too small to scan while double-spread takes up too much time, as well as cutting off a bit from the sides due to having to fold the issue. What are some (preferably inexpensive) scanners or printers out there with a scan area big enough to scan them, as well as having good dpi settings?
Or am I better off going somewhere like the local library?

is there any kind of mp3 player (besides ipod touch), where I can download music off the internet?

I have a monitor connected to my laptop and it uses the discrete graphics card instead of the integrated graphics. I suspect that this might be causing some issues but I can't figure out how to make the second monitor run on the integrated graphics instead.
Does anybody know a solution?

Couldn't figure out how to do it but I went into Nvidia control panel and changed "Power management mode" to "Prefer maximum performance" and that seems to have solved my issues.

Hey Jow Forumsuys. I need some help on this Java project i'm working on.

Here is a little background:
I am working on making an RPN Calculator (Reverse Polish Notation). In which I have a stack that has numbers pushed onto it. Those numbers are then added, subtracted, multiplied etc... depending on the button that was pressed. (+, -, *, /,....).

There are currently 9 Buttons and 3 text fields.

The buttons are:
+,-,*,/,push,dup,2dup,clr,pop

the text fields are:
Input, Display, Error

I am struggling to make the buttons actually do the operations I have written in another Java file already. Here is an example.

I have added this line of code under my "Main" method.

FourthStack S = new FourthStack(4);

and then have this as the code for my "Push" button.

JButton pushBtn = new JButton("push");
pushBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
double num;
num = Double.parseDouble(input_Fld.getText());
S.push(num);
}
});
pushBtn.setBounds(159, 175, 89, 23);
frame.getContentPane().add(pushBtn);

However I am getting an Error saying "S can not be resolved"

Can anyone help? If so, id be greatly appreciated. And any further help along the way of this project would be amazing. Thank you guys!

I can attach other pictures aswell involving code from the Design, my other classes etc...
If anyone would like to contact me over Kik let me know I would be greatly appreciative!

I'm looking for a decent backup hard drive. Seagate and WD are always mentioned here, which is the most reliable out of the two of them?

Is it possible to access files from a password-protected Mac OS X harddrive from Windows or GNU/Linux?

Are you trying to access objects from your main() method, when you should be accessing them from the initialize? Those fields you are creating can't be acted upon or even referenced until after they are instantiated. Maybe time to look into dependency injection depending on complexity.

I believe it is because they were not Global. I moved the declaration above everything and it seems to work now.

Why the fuck are there no good laptops with Ryzen processors? Why aren't they in Zenbooks or XPS or Latitude? Why do shitty OEMs only put them in 2-in-1 bullshit or low end shittops?

Depends on the usage. I got a backup drive from WD (red, used to have it in my NAS for a few months). Just remember that after 4 years, it's gonna go downhill (spinning parts get slower/gunked up, bearings get fucked, etc).

Any of the commercial-grade ones should be fine for the time (WD and seagate). If you want an SSD, a friend who does data rescue told me Samsung EVO SSDs are the shizznit.

/v/ question incoming
I have a ryzen 1600 clocked at 3.6, 8gb of ram clocked at 2666, gtx 1070 clocked around 1500, not sure about mem speeds, and a HDD.
This setup used to give me around 100-110 fps with spikes down to 80 at 1440p on ultra without vsync in Doom both with OpenGL and Vulkan, but when I tried playing the game again yesterday it struggled to go above 60 with spikes down to 30 even on 'high' settings. What's going on? I know my HDD and limited amount of ram are bottlenecking the build, but I used to get around twice the performance out of the same system in the same game which is weird as fuck.

probably hit it cause it pooped in the house and the dog was freaked out

Looking for a decent stand/arm or whatever for my new HD monitor, it's a more or less "lightweight" LED one from the samsung SF35* series and the stand it came with is pretty shitty/can't be modified at all really so right now i'm having to prop it up with a pile of notes just to get a half-way decent viewing angle out of it heh

The stand should be adaptable to both heigth and viewing angle and shouldn't be too expensive either, any recs?
