My other HDD from my laptop that I've moved over to my desktop idles at 28°. Ambient temp is about 20° C. The peak is kind of high for an HDD, but it should still be in the range of being fine. You probably don't have good air flow through your HDD cage. | ||

i have a blu ray playing program that when you try to lower the volume it lowers the master vgolume of the computer so its impossible for me to watch stuff while i have a concert going in the background. | ||

Open your sound mixer (click the volume icon in your system tray, click mixer), then drag the slider for that application down. | ||

My other HDD from my laptop that I've moved over to my desktop idles at 28°. Ambient temp is about 20° C. 44C is okay; a bit closer to 50C and then higher than that is cause for concern, maybe enough to put a low-rpm fan close to the drive. I'd imagine that load temps may be an issue if idle is 44C. Actually, 28C is lower than the sweet spot, perhaps even more of a concern (too low) than 44C. I don't know if there's a lot of data on HDD operating temps other than this 2007 paper: http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/research.google.com/en/us/archive/disk_failures.pdf On February 09 2013 07:47 Alryk wrote: Nah I don't care.

It doesn't exactly help to have leave extra RAM sitting with nothing in it, so it's just kind of keeping data there that you might access. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a16YfnG.png) It was good today until I opened up utorrent and watched a recently downloaded video. After finishing the video, I looked in my IRC window and saw it was basically disconnecting from the time I opened utorrent to the time I closed it, and stopped when I closed it. My internet as a whole is stable enough. When IRC disconnects like this I have no problem using anything else that requires a network connection. Does anyone have any idea why utorrent is cause this (if it even is)? edit: My IRC disconnects regardless of the IRC client I use. I've just changed the utorrent port for incoming connections hoping there's just some kind of port conflict, will update shortly if it does anything. | ||

For what it's worth, my IRC also disconnects more often than it should without my Internet having issues; it could just be either the IRC client or the server itself. I suppose it's possible that there could be some kind of traffic prioritization causing it, but that seems unlikely. | ||

I've tried 3 different IRC clients all together and they basically all act the same way, so I don't think it's a client issue. I seem to be the only one who gets the issue after speaking with some other people as well, so I want to rule out a server issue, but I can't really rule it out 100% I suppose. Could be some sort of traffic prioritization like you mentioned, I might look into my routers QoS engine if it keeps acting up after these changes. | ||

As long as you have the right type (cloth, plastic) then 99.9% probably wouldnt even be able to find a difference, some colors perform better with certain sensors than others but even that is not really noticable unless you are pushing the hardware limits of the mouse Id still take qck+ any day, because it is cheap ($20), 45x40cm (which nobody will use outside of FPS gaming, so you probably wont find it elsewhere) black cloth (pretty much universally best performing color IIRC) and feels good, and also sticks to desk like it is glued on so you only have to adjust it like once every 100 hours of usage | ||

No, but there is some difference in surface depending on the type of mouse you have. If you got an optical mouse, then it's going to work just fine on pretty much anything. Hell, you don't need to bother with a mouse pad if you don't want to. I don't. If you bought a laser mouse (because lasers are cool, obviously!) those are a lot touchier. You want to avoid cloth pads & get a mouse pad with some sort of smooth, hard surface. That will bring a minor benefit. | ||
