#1381 PC Build Thread in Hardware

As to what to look for: You want at least 1600MHz (frequency / speed) CL9 (timings).
For frequency higher is better
Timings are difficult, lower is better but you have to divide by the frequency first. So the 1333MHz CL9 RAM got worse timings than 1600MHz CL9 which in turn is still slower than 1866MHz CL10.

I've been slowly looking up RAM(pretty busy with school atm) and it seems my motherboard only does 1600MHz MAX without a overclock. I've found better prices on ram, even on some with higher frequencies than that of the ram I had before, it's tempting to buy them, but I gather that I'd have to overclock my PC to reap the benefits - should I with this rig? How'd I go about learning that? Would that "one click overclock" from ASUS help?

660ti AMP! edition by Zotac
Intel Core I5 - 4670 K
Asus Z87M - PLUS
2 x 8 GB CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10 CORSAIR (BROKEN)
HD SSD CORSAIR CSSD-N256GB3-BK
COOLER MASTER Elite 330U (RC-330U-KKN1-GP) case
My old HDD that's running as a slave.

Dunno if that was already my RAM dying, but in the past I've noticed my PC slowing down after I had opened a couple dozen tabs full of videos, and I haven't upgraded my PC in some time, that's why I'm interested in more RAM.

If you want to save money go with 2x4GB.

I can't help you with a decision between these two because I can't even tell which one is faster. There's more than 20 different 16GB kits from Kingston so I need either specs (frequency / timings) or the exact part number (should look similar to the Corsair one CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10, just a bunch of letters and numbers).

Haha, I imagined that would be the case with the "information" given to me. It seems the models they have immediately are KVR13N9S8/4 and HX318C10FR/4 (177.595 vs 222.068 US dollars edit: ok, those models don't seem to be 8GB so idk anymore).

The guy told me they can get anything from the Kingston line, though.

I don't necessarily need to buy there; what should I look for in RAM? Dunno if that's related but I want to be able to open a fuck-ton of tabs on chrome, all with video, and play DM on TF2 whilst those videos run, for instance.

Thanks based Setsul for always helping here in the hardware section <3.

#7 Computer could be going kaput. in Q/A Help

K, it seems I will need to send this PC to technical assistance :(.

I forgot to add the messages that pop up when it blue screens, which are, as far as I remember, something like "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT", "SYSTEM_EXCEPTION" and another one which had the word "page" on it, but I can't remember well.

Also, do I have a virus? How can RAM just "get fucked"? We're entering winter here, so I've started to turn on heaters and whatnot, there also have been some power outages before, could those be the cause?

Thanks for the help thus far :)

Edit: it's "PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA" a Avast scan triggers it.

#4 Computer could be going kaput. in Q/A Help

Sorry for not returning any of the messages and now bumping this thread, but I've been really busy irl and away from my PC.

The windows commands all returned "OK", but memtest showed a pletora of errors, I took pictures of the results:

Quake is already the perfect arena fps, any attempt to change it will inevitably make it worse.

#137 Mass shooting in Orlando in Off Topic

There are countries with a lot of guns per capita that don't have as much problems with mass shootings though, like Switzerland...

USA is a big country, inside which some widely different cultures might exist, there's some pretty big inequality in some places, there are a lot of factors to consider I don't think it can be easily reduced to "there are too much guns"

#126 Mass shooting in Orlando in Off Topic

I don't think "mental illnesses" can be taken as a lot of people seem to take them, like if they were understandable like a cold or something, exclusively physiologically determined...

How do you prove someone is mentally ill? Excluded extreme cases, I don't know of any objective exams that can be conducted to do that...

Society, human interactions, affective relations are always deeply involved... I'd say madness is often something which gradually builds up upon distorted ideas, bad feelings, etc... Which might be accompanied with some hormonal imbalance, but it's never exclusively biological, not mass murderers I think.

How can people say that ideologies and doctrines which have always flirted with hate throughout history(not that it's the only interpretation possible, but it's given a lot) MUST have nothing to do with it, and can't even be taken in consideration?
