Should I change any of the settings in memtest before I let it start running or is it fine with the defaults?

Following someone's advice, I switched my kernel driver from radeon to amdgpu by changing >GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to >GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1" in /etc/default/grub.
I haven't gotten around to testing whether games run better or worse with this option, but I did notice that my idle GPU temperature seemed to increase; it hovered around 43 to 44 degrees Celsius, whereas before it would be around 36 to 39 degrees Celsius. It's at 36 now, after having undone the change above just to confirm that I wasn't imagining things. I should probably note that all of these temperatures are higher than my idle GPU temperature on Windows as measured by HWMonitor, which was usually in the low 30s.
Is it normal to see higher idle temperatures with amdgpu than with radeon? Is it normal to see higher idle GPU temperatures on Linux in general? Should I be concerned in any case?
How do I format a WD drive that was previously in a backup housing, and use it as an internal drive? Just formatting it while it was plugged in to the computer with USB like normal didn't work when I installed it.
-
I have an old (2011) hard drive from a backup drive who's housing broke, and I'm trying to repurpose it as an internal drive to rescue an old computer with a dying (2010) HDD.
I formatted the drive, installed it, but the OS isn't recognizing it on the computer.
I've heard that the drive might be formatted such that it will only work when plugged in to the housing / casing. That's why I reformatted it. I still have the circuit board part of the casing, so I can duplicate some files I want to back up and store the drive elsewhere if I have to, but plan A was to use this drive to save the older computer.
[I'll be trying to buy a couple of internal Hard Drives anyway. I don't want my other drives going below 50-70% storage.]
so you're saying what? you can't execute format over USB? WD drives in external cases may differ between periods, some have regular coloured labels, some are white. Coloureds will work normally when plugged into a PC internally, white labels have some inbuilt powers supply issue
Aiden Thomas
Can't be said. Depends on the setup. Probably the two fans.

I think I might have answered my own stupid question here.
I switched again from radeon to amdgpu, and again the GPU temperature was hanging around low-to-mid 40s, rather than mid-to-high 30s. Hmm, very interesting. Then I moved my mouse cursor off the right edge of the desktop.
I have a second monitor, but I usually leave it disabled and turned off unless I need it. And because it was turned off, I didn't realize it was enabled. I guess the switch from radeon to amdgpu didn't preserve my display settings. I just disabled the second monitor and the GPU temperature appears to be falling back down to the range where it was with the radeon driver.
I still wonder if I should be concerned about having higher idle GPU temperatures on Linux than on Windows, but I'm guessing it's not a big deal.

Okay my men. Going to spill the whole story. So, I've got an old PC setup from around 2012 and it've rarely given my any issues, BUT, just now (on Tuesday) the GPU bid its farewell. Or so I thought. It flashed briefly with some artifacts and stopped feeding at all. The PC kept on working. Obvious for me that it died after all those years and it was time to upgrade. Got myself a nice RX570 Nitro+ which should be 100% compatible with all the rest components, however when I put it it, the PC would turn on, but not POST and not boot at all. BIOS quirk? Driver conflict? Improperly seated? I tried right about anything that I could think of and would be inside of my abilities to try and fix with no success. So I put an emergency weaksauce GPU just so I can use the PC to shitpost and whatnot. And guess what. It POSTs and boots no problem, but after working for a few minutes returns some random BSODs. So I figure, it has to be the PSU, isn't it? I mean, it partially shits the bed and can't supply enough juice for "strong" GPU, can run the weak one, but is dying anyway and that's how it goes with it now. Am I right? Do I get myself a new power supply? Thanks in advance!
>tl;dr Dying PSU can't handle more powerful GPU and BSODs with weaker one? Y/N

my harddisk has 30gb left can you recommend me a good sata one ? i had this seagate for like 12 years now and never had any problems but i read that it's writing/reading speeds sucks and even lowers the internet speed when transfering
iam thinking about hitachi for some reason because it's senpai brand !?!
I'm saying I DID format it, but when I transferred it to the inside of the other computer, the other computer's OS didn't see the drive at all in Disk Management.
1. I had an external backup drive. 2. The backup drive's casing starts to fail. 3. I want to salvage the HDD and use it as an internal drive. 4. Installing the HDD as an internal drive doesn't work. I though it was just an issue with formatting. Turns out it's at least a little bit more complicated than that.
Later on, I want to clone the 500Gb drive's partition over to the 3TB drive as a way of reusing it. I think the 500Gb drive is dying, since I'm getting absurd system slowdown on that computer.
Parents got a new ipad, so now there's this old ipad they're offering to give to me, but it's like a decade old or so at this point so I'm pretty sure apple doesn't support it at all in any way anymore. Can I do anything with it? I have spare time so it can be a pet project if need be, but generally I don't use apple products at all so I'm unsure if there's like an underground leet h4ckers or shit for these things like cyanogenmod was for android or linux in general for computers, or just anything really.

If I create a RAID-0 using 2 HDD after installing Mint, how can I have it mounted at boot, I mean the same as my /home that is on another HDD I want to use 1 SSD for / - 2 HDDs for a RAID-0 setup (Steam and else) and a 4th one with /home on it since my SSD is small

What side of the aisle should I learn first to get into security, blue team or red team operations? I'll have to dig deeper into Linux either way so I'm ready for that

>Can you explain what you meant by The output will depend on what scaling algorithm you use to shrink the image. Different algorithms introduce different artifacts, so for optimal results you need to figure out what scaling algorithm is best suited for your particular image.

If I made a website that allows you to send strangers money anonymously (using stripe's api) would that be illegal?

Because a single hard drive failure destroys the data on both, and one big hard drive costs less than two smaller ones with half the capacity.

This response means you shouldnt be using raid, shouldnt be using linux and should just fuck off if you cant open up fstab and read what it says to do

The equipment and infrastructure to make them is expensive and not worth it, same reason no one is manufacturing old cars from the 70's or fabbing old CPUs from the 90's.

Does qBittorent not notify you if the there's already a file with the same name? Seems like it just automatically overwrites.
Yes, of course, but that's not what they asked. You can do the same hobbyist bullshit with a CRT. But there is no factory out there pumping out CRTs or old 70's cars.

Is there much of a performance benefit between a 4tb that has a 64Mb cache and a 128Mb cache?
Did you just delete the files, or did you do the registry cleaner and click "make changes" without really looking at everything?

Why is my ram so crappy? I already had some issues when the xmp profile1 which put it at 2133 frequency, and setting it up for 3200 was a real chore where sometimes it wouldn't even detect the 3200 changes. Now it does ( shown in BIOS and AMD Ryzen Master ), however something still seems to be off.

Should I use my GPU as hard as I can or would it be smarter to limit it a little? Example: I can run forza 4 fully maxed at 4k and get 50-55 fps, according to the in game counter this is running my gpu at 98% and results in temperatures in the mid 70s OR I can run it at 1440p locked at 60fps still all maxed, this uses my gpu at 65 tp 75% and gives temperatures in the low 60s. It still looks pretty great at 1440p and I cant really tell the difference in fps. I guess im really just not sure about the temperatures, will running it harder significantly reduce its lifespan?
Aiden Ross
>will running it harder significantly reduce its lifespan? Man people will argue about this to the end of days. The answer is "almost certainly," but the only thing for sure is that running it harder will not extend its lifespan. Just on principle I use my shit on the lowest settings I find acceptable. Save a little energy or whatever, lower my electric bill, etc.

I have this code:
int main() { float example = 1800/3.141592657; printf ("%f", example); getch(); }
The output is: 572.957825
If I change it to:
int main() { float a = 1800; float b = 3.141592657; float example = a/b; printf ("%f", example); getch(); }
The output is: 572.957764
However, if I put the exact same equation into my calculator (either the calculator on my computer or my real life calculator) I get: 572.9577945
Why am I getting so many different answers? Why can't my code just give me the same answer as my calculator does?
