Hi all,

I stopped gaming and OCing the PC for long but continuing on Xbox and PS4 so never felt for having a new PC. But since the 4k contents have started to surface and my 5 generation old machine was failing to run anything (youtube videos or movies) in 4k, decided to go for new machine.

As per old habit, built a new machine with Maximus X hero, 8700k, 32gb 3200ghz trident X with EVGA 1000w PSU.

I have never been ok with built in GPU so I ve been thinking of getting nVidia.

Now here s the thing; I don t play games on PC, and I was looking into 1070 ti since the FTW2 icx is $400 only, spent about $1600 building the machine itself so being a little tight on the card; GTX 1080 is there as well but that costs around $550-$600 and there are RTX on the market as well now.

Do you think 2 generation old EVGA 1070ti FTW2 icx would suffice!

The question might sound stupid but I m in a dilemma.

I just moved to Cambridge, MA and i don t know much about this place. I need couple of microswitches for my mice. Can anyone tell me where can i find any electronic parts store in MA?

ok, I'm new to python programming, did little bit of webscrapping too...

can anyone tell me how can i find out specific word from a paragraph?

And how to get the word next to a specific word?

for example, i have a paragraph containing the line "the XX written by YY". So how can i get the YY by parsing that paragraph?

using wikipedia module with python27...

Thanks in advance

Hi, I got a 12v 1000mAh DC charger which i use to power my dc equipment like guitar processor or other DIY stuffs.

Now my question is can i charge my motorcycle battery with that? Well that battery is 12v 5A.

If i can then how long should i charge it? I wanna be at safe side since it is a lead acid battery and i don't wanna mess it up.

+ does newly purchased battery need to be charged before using and if so, for how long?

recently i noticed my horns are not sounding when the headlamps (2x lamps) are on and they dim the lamps slightly along with delivering bit less powerful sound. A friend of mine told me to charge it separately.

thanks in advance :)

Well I don't listen to electronica much so can anyone help me out about it?

Hello, I'm kinda new to rooting android fones... not even a noob i think.

I got couple of queries hope someone could help me out.

Device: Nexus 5

1. How do I backup my stock rom and kernel so that if anything goes wrong with modding then i can get back?

2. If I root my fone, does recovery mode work? I mean how do I re-install/recover stock rom (i believe with kernel too) ? will it get the recovery/original rom from google?

3. If I change the rom, does it get the recovery rom from google too? which could make my device as fresh as purchased?

4. Does changing the lockring, notification bar icon changing, themer beta requires rooting? or custom rom?

thanks in advance...

Ok, yesterday I experienced a weird issue with my bike... I went out for work, and while I was riding my bike, i found the engine was not responding smoothly... then when i was about to head back to home, i thought i should check the engine oil. What i found, just banged my head... the oil level reduced!!! I didn't see the surface even with my pocket torch... I took the risk and went to the nearest oil shop and changed the oil, then the engine started to respond as usual...

Now I wanna know how the hell that oil level got reduced inside?

there was no oil leakage, everything was clean, no sweating joint, just fresh...

bike: yamaha fazer (about 2yrs old and maintaining perfectly)

oil: Mobil 1 0-w40 synthetic... always use this from the beginning.

km: 1500km before changing (weird isn't it? it's fu*#ing synthetic)

weather condition: dry, cold (about 15degree c)

please let me know if i need to add some more details to get the idea about that issue. Never happened that before with previous oils...

Hi, I got a machine with AMD gpu ( I wanted to make a complete amd rig) but every time I want to update the gpu driver, things get messed up... with nVidia, i just download the updated driver and click to install, it gets installed and restarts, update finished.

But with AMD, I downloaded the update which was 13.9, clicked to install, that got installed, and nothing happened. The driver remains as 13.4. I tried complete uninstall to re-install fresh but I had to sweep the driver too with the driver sweeper. Last time i checked that the complete uninstallation procedure damaged my .net too. I had to re install .net framework. That driver installation was showing me MOM.implementation, CLI.implementation error. Then also once it showed me no display driver was installed because no gpu was found? I was like...what the!!! then how am i seeing this cause I'm not using any APU.

Now my question is what is the ACTUAL PROCEDURE of updating AMD CCC? Do I have to follow sweeping, .net installation things again and again to update? Are AMD products that much shitty?

Hi, I need to resize my C drive by giving it 20 GB more from D drive.

Do I need to defrag both drives before shrinking D and growing C to prevent data loss? And how safe it is to working with C drive?

I don't wanna re-install win 7 because again the files i'm maintaining on that drive are going to grab that space again. So better give it some more space.

Thanks in advance.

more info about those drives:

Current status:

C: total space 60gb, free space 5gb

D: total space 98gb, free space 42gb

Hi, recently I installed O&O Defrag ver. 16 knowing this is one of the best defragmenting tools via web... But when I'm about to run the operation, I see there are 5 methods STEALTH, SPACE, COMPLETE/name, COMPLETE/modified, and COMPLETE/access. But I was unable to find which method does what... And I don't wanna experiment on my HDDs without knowing the aftermath.

Now can anyone help me by telling about those defragment methods? Which method should I use for regular puropse?

Additional Info.

OS: Win 7 x64

RAM: 4GB

HDD: 320gb(OS) + 320gb + 500gb + 1TB

Hi there, it's kinda odd but still i want to be clear about this...

I use EASEUS partition tool pro; recently my 'boot partition' (C drive) is running out of space so i want to expand the partition bit more.

What i want to do is

-shrink the D drive to create some unallocated space and

-expand the C drive

Now my question is will that cause any problem to those C and D drive? is there any chance of data loss and windows file corruption in C?

Hi there,

recently i installed catalyst 13.4 for my radeon hd card over 13.1, but after the installation, that was still showing 13.1. So then i tried (!) to uninstall the catalyst related everything and re installed the 13.4, then it was showing me catalyst version 12.10. Then i used driver sweeper and again re installed 13.4 but that catalyst control center and sapphire triXX still show me that 12.10 :|

So can anyone help how do i solve this thing? seems like the latest driver is not staying and thus it keeps showing me 12.10 :|

I read that it's forbidden in islam having dog inside the house or as pet...

So my question is, was Ashab e kahf the only exception where it was allowed to keep dog very close to those 7 men?

HI, couple of months back, i bought a wifi dongle, tp-link w727n usb wifi receiver. It's utility software has AP (access point) option too. So i switched to AP mode and set the necessary settings, like security protocol AP name, password etc. and it was beaming my broadband internet so i was using my phone wifi via this.

NOW THE PROBLEM STARTS LAST WEEK AFTER INSTALLING AVG 2013 W/FIREWALL

the wifi icon shows yellow sign saying undefined network - no internet access.

i reinstalled the drivers, reset all the settings, even tried open connection without security but no access, phone doesn't get internet access via that AP since it's yellow sign.

then i came to realize that from ncpa.cpl the wifi conn. manager isn't getting any ip from my local area network or cannot re route to that local area network.

1. i checked avg firewall, even tested by resetting and disabling that.

2. i uninstall and re install the on board network driver

3. i uninstall and re install tp-link utility software + driver.

using internet from pc accordingly, even the fone finds the wifi and gets connected but that yellow sign... no internet access ....

Can any1 help me out from that riddle? i've never experience such weird prob yet.

Hi, i purchased Sony Xperia Ray recently and upgraded to 4.1 JellyBean. I want to root my phone but but confused. So, can anyone tell me how to root my phone? does the root process vary for different versions of android?

Hi,

I slept for about 15hrs last night and when i woke up, my head was aching like a high degree fever, body was imploding with pain and more than 6hrs gone and the pain still remains... is this caused by that oversleeping?

for a project, i need a continuous ir detection at the receiver... But the IR Led only works based on a pulse.

So is there any way for continuous emission from IR led ?

I am working on a embedded project, designing a circuit that if any interruption occurs then the receiver generates a signal that'll active the further circuit.

For this i need a continuous emission from IR LED and after interruption the receiver again will receive the IR continuously.

So anyone knows how to make the emission continuous (not pulsing)?

Hi, recently i'm facing a weird problem with browsing.

I cannot access Wikipedia site. After a long time loading the browser replies

"Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset."

I tried with almost all the browsers (Internet Explorer, opera, chrome, firefox).

I did refreshed tcp/ip stack, checked the ping with the site and that seems normal, traced the router,

did almost everything but cannot access.

However i can access via proxy which is a lot annoying due to their own advertisements.

So can anyone suggest me anything to get rid of this situation?

Well... I don't wanna accelerate the piracy, but still i need a solution....

To do a cracky thing, can anyone tell me that what is the host file of DU Meter and where does it exist?

I searched couple of folders in my pc but din't get anything....

Thanks...
