[QUOTE=Zephyrs;47875444]amongst other generally less noteworthy perks.[/QUOTE] To put it simply, if you are happy with your built-in sound and don't experience background noise or something, then you would not need to spend money on an external card. However, if you are a audio power user then I will say that it's definitely worth looking into. My steinberg UR22 has been one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. Midi IN/OUT turned out to be useful, and great XLR inputs as well as ASIO support is a godsend. Looks great on my desk, too :v:
I want to buy a 980 Ti. Should I get the card "straight from nVidia", or get one of the versions from EVGA, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte...? Are aftermarket cards worth it here, seeing as Anandtech's review points out that the stock card already performs as well as a Titan X without the need for additional cooling or overclocks?

I'm not sure what the new cards are like, but having a GTX 480 put me off reference coolers forever :v: That thing was probably fucking sponsored by Dyson
They all use the reference cooler design, so they'll all make the same level of noise (except for the overclocked ones) What you should care about is what else the different companies offer in terms of warranty etc. [editline]4th June 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=kaze4159;47875978]I'm not sure what the new cards are like, but having a GTX 480 put me off reference coolers forever :v: That thing was probably fucking sponsored by Dyson[/QUOTE] Actually it was sponsored by Lockheed Martin
I used to have a reference 470 and it sounded like a jet taking off at full load
So, trying to load that cash register on the VM gives me this error on that office computer" [T]http://i.imgur.com/T8BEABM.png[/T] Rough translation: instruction on 0x5909a469 refers to memory on 0x00000011. A read- or write operation on memory has failed: written. Would this say that the RAM is fucked, or that I should try to enable virtualization in the BIOS? For some reason every time I try to load the BIOS I get a combination of beep codes, and it continues booting the OS.
I just got lubuntu up and running on my raspberry pi 2, pretty cool

Not really, I only used VMware's software to convert the cash register's XP installation to a virtual installation. I should add that I also get this error on a fresh XP installation.

They can't be too far behind. You'll get higher clocks and quieter fans.

I'll just update a few things and post the result later.

They run at lower RPMs making them far quieter, and generally cool better. The catch is that they recycle air. Refer to reference_cooling.avi for more details.

[/QUOTE] it DOES depend on his case vertically oriented fan like you'd find in a silverstone ft03 and a few other places you want a leafblower fan to just shit out all the air because recycling air will make it 120C in your case
I'm definitely looking at aftermarket cooling for my GTX 970 solely because the open air does recycle a lot of hot air and since it's mini ITX I think I just want to shit that out instead. Doesn't help that it's EVGA's ACX 1.0 with the fucked up heatpipe.

You could just buy a reference, and then if the sound annoys you too much get a aftermarket cooler.
Voids your warranty, and he may not be willing to tamper with the hardware to that degree. Non reference cards come out within a month of the first line of reference ones anyways. Unless he desperately needs the card right now, it's worth waiting.

i inherited a netbook, msi u230 anything i should do with this thing?
yeah it runs 7 like shit i might stick debian or something on it
I had to use Windows 7 today. It made hope the free Windows 10 upgrade applies for school/work environments.
Windows 7 is pretty ugly compared to 8 imo
