>Why
It's 2TB now. this is old.
It's not really a 2nd monitor. It's a dummy dongle. I use a virtual monitor to view the 2nd virtual monitor on 1 monitor.
In my defense this was the best thing to get to me in 2012 when I knew less about computers. - I had a 2002 pentium 4 Windows XP computer. So I just assumed anything new would be good enough. And indeed it is a lot better than my older desktop computer. But I want to do so much more now. - But now I don't even have the money to do it. - Oh well...
My computer isn't that good because it has 2 cores and 4 threads when I need to do a lot more. I need like at least 4 cores and 8 threads or more. I think.
The integrated graphics I didn't care about about originally. Even thinking about it - it sounds like a good "all-in-1" solution for the future. But right now... it just sort of... makes you an easy target for those who want to lag you out on purpose. To be honest. Tho I endure it.
I can't afford it right now but I'd like to get a better computer in the future. Either a desktop computer or a laptop computer. I'd like a laptop computer with a graphics card. Super ideally low-maintenance that I don't have to clean dust out of all the time or ever. If that exists. - Also. -
I can't afford that.
Anyway. I appreciate the reply.
Thank you.
>>711919903
That's true, but for my R9 290 it's perfect.
>>711919114
>>711919182
>>711919203
Why are your CPUs that hot?
Even with Prime95 my FX 8350 doesn´t get even close to that temperatures.
>>711919963
>>711919963
>>711919963
I'm not sure. I'm guessing it's because I have a very small mobile-grade fan. Instead of a desktop-grade fan.
Cool.
>>711919934
It's a perfect CPU (have it for 7years or so, never let me down.)
>>711920066
KEK, get a proper cooling system, even the cheapest aftermarket air coolers are better.
>>711920222
I have a proper cooling system already... it's a laptop. What do you expect it to do?
>>711920222
He has an M processor, indicating that he has a laptop or SFF...hence the very small mobile fan I would imagine
>>711920329
Yeah... that's right
>>711920222
I have the computer on "high performance" settings. If I put it on lower settings then it may go to under 50 degrees celsius on idle.
>>711920414
THIS WAS ON IDLE?????
>>711920515
Sort of. I probably had some programs open. Uhh... no. Actually. Thinking about it. This was after it was over-heating after transcoding a video. Immediately after that. After it started to cool-down.
CPU OC @4.4GHz
RAM is actually @3000MHz
Theres an external optical drive, asus dvd drive
Temps are while IW is running in background, was playing it just now.
>>711920515
>looks at computer currently
>70~80 degrees celsius
This is normal for a laptop user. Or a thinkpad user. Or for me. Anyway.
>>711920289
>>711920329
The temperatures are shit anyway, getting 50°C+ on idle is way to much.
The cooling system seems to be undersiezed, even my passive cooled laptop doesn´t get that hot.
>>711920664
>>711920664
Really? That's normal for me.
What passive cooled laptop do you have?
>>711920721
Lenovo ideapad 15 iby
>>711920593
Why don´t you use a normal desktop for something like that?
>>711920662
That is the way my old one died, clean out the cooling system asap.
>>711920834
I can't afford that.
>>711920834
It's always been like this. But thank you.

Not him (obviously) but I bought a gaming laptop because of the need for portability and convenience. I only paid a little under $1600 for it and have no regrets. Sure I could have built a more powerful desktop for the same price or less and have done so for friends, however when they come over they can't play their computer but when I hang out with them I can play mine so I'd say it was worth it.
>>711922155
What laptop is that?
Small SSD and probably should've gotten a better CPU when I bought it I know, but the store sold me the CPU a lot cheaper than market price at the time.
Runs everything I play right now, gonna upgrade to a GTX 1060 I think.

For that price you could of built a better pc with higher specs for 800, with another 800 to buy a laptop. You got fucked hard bro.
>>711922155
I bought the gaming laptop as I work away from home a lot so it made sense to have something I could game on. My desktop rig is
i7 4790K @4.6GHz
2 x GTX780
16GB DD3
500GB SSD
256 SSD (I had that just lying around)
2TB WD Green
1TB WD Black
Dell 21:9 ( can't remember the model)
Fractal Define R4
There are a couple of extra HDDs in it more than I need but I just had them lay around from old machines and can't be bothered to remove them
>>711922349
I also got a 250 gb SSD for it
>>711922212
MSI GS72vr I believe. I bought it from cyberpowerpc there were other 17" options that were cheaper with the same specs but not as many ports/lacking a DVD drive (that I plan on upgrading to blu-ray eventually)
>>711919924
You know why? Because you bought a fucking 2TB SSD.
Two PCs here.
One is a laptop that came in the mail about half an hour ago, so no speccy screenshot (But I'll list the specs here):
Operating System:
Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit
CPU:
Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.4GHz
RAM
40.0GB Dual Channel Corsair @ 2166MHz
Motherboard: (Irrelevant, laptop)
Graphics:
Generic PnP Monitor (3840x2160@60hz)
Intel HD Grahpics 530
Nvidia GTX 1070
Storage:
1TB Samsung 960 Pro (SSD)
2TB WD HDD (SATA) (x2)
Desktop specs are pic related.
Also, my desktop has two additional monitors but they aren't connected right now.
Another AMD here!
Why does every AMD fag here (including me) have a FX-8350?
Main rig pic related, though I tossed the 1440p 144hz over to my other rig and have a 27" 1080p 60hz IPS for my second monitor on each now.
Other desktop is
i7 6700k @ 5.2ghz
Gigabyte G1 Z170 ITX
16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz
EVGA GTX 1070 FTW ACX 3.0 (No it hasn't melted.)
256GB Evo 840
5TB WD Black
Laptop
i7 4600HQ
12GB DDR3
GTX 770m
256GB Evo 840
1TB HDD
I need to stop buying electronics.
I'm actually using my 1920x1080 monitor now.
>>711922936
As an AMD user maybe you can explain this.
Why do buy AMD? They're only better on paper (at least for the CPUs, they're pretty good on GPU).
If you look at single-core performance, Intel typically doubles AMD
>>711923049
>6 fucking cd drives
>scsi
Are those 3TB HDD's RAIDed?
>>711922376
Yeah but I sold my old gaming laptop for a good profit (bought used sold for about the price of new) and sure I could have a desktop close to it for less but then I'd have to buy a decent keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor/tv which would add to the cost. So assuming I paid $800 to build the desktop, then about $150 for the monitor, $100 for the keyboard, and $60 for the mouse. That would put me at $1110 leaving me $490 for a laptop which wouldn't be very good for gaming especially since 17" laptops are more expensive so even with a used laptop (without a warranty) it'd be nowhere near a comparable experience on that and with that desktop I'd be stuck in one place unless I game streamed to that laptop which would introduce additional lag into the game making it an inferior experience and putting me at a disadvantage
>>711923088
AMD was extremely cheap at the time i bought the FX-8350, only 150€ for the FX-8350.
There was no faster Intel processor in this price range.
Also overclocking is possible up to 6.3 GHZ.
>>711920642
Oh and btw, I take my temp control seriously, max it went was 60 on cpu because I forgot to turn on my pump while gaming. You should do that too, if you're on a laptop that's no excuse get bottom fans and clean it up, replace paste if needed.
Lower temp is nicer, doesn't kill your hardware as fast and will generally be more quiet while also working more stable.

Finally someone smart who doesn't get an i7 in a mid/high build.
>>711923353
GHz != performance
While I admit intel falls off the map around $170 in terms of offerings, you can get an i3 that is a lot faster for around 10 bucks more.
>>711923567
Developement in Unreal Engine.
1TB SSD is for most project fails, and the 2TB HDDs and RAID1.
The high amount of RAM wasn't strictly necessary but I like to keep ~70 chrome tabs open while I use my computer and that ends up using ~18GB RAM, leaving not quite enough for other stuff under most configurations
>>711923953

>>711923174
Nope, that's just for production storage which is then archived on my NAS.
>>711923849
I know GHZ isn´t directly the performance, but no i3 of that time came close to the FX-8350, especially if you consider multi core performance.
Also when this processor will be to slow for some games i consider overclocking it, but untill today this was never necesary.
I don´t get over 40% CPU usage if I´m not using a benchmark with that processor.

Don't, unless you're going to get the 1180 or something. 1440p IPS @ 120Hz will be worth your monay.
>>711924571
Pretty decent for a ~2 year old computer
Not even a mid-build, I guess, but it's enough for me.

sure but it isn't accurate.
Incorrect storage on many devices, doesn't pick up on most overclocks, temps are listed as higher than what they actually are sometimes, shows "SSD" and "SATA" as mutually exclusive,
