Ropid, so you're saying that you can have different images showing on the two monitors, so long as they're otherwise identical in terms of Hz / resolution (and in fact mine would be 2 of the same model).

I already make use of my iGPU alongside my regular GPU so I'm not concerned about that not working

I've been trying to play hearthstone recently, but I seem unable to connect properly to the battle.net client. It seems to get halfway through checking for updates then says it cant connect to the patching service, try again later. I've tried many times to patch and at multiple internet connections so it seems to be something on my end.

I also can't figure out how to uninstall hearthstone (Figured that would be the easiest solution)

Uninstall game is under Options in the Hearthstone tab.

hi. my sennheiser 360's microphone is really low in skype/mumble/anything even though it is on max (as far as i know). when i put +30 DB boost i can be heard a bit better but it picks up other sounds then also. no soundcard only motherboard(gigabyte)

Don't know much about audio, you sometimes get vastly different sound from back vs front slots, back is preferred i think usually

After some quick Googling, looks like it should work but you might need to manually add twitch.tv to the flash whitelist.

Any cheap/functional ~60-120fps cameras, like webcam's etc that would work with OBS? My webcam will only do ~20-30fps and it's a bit low for capturing fast keyboard spam etc

I have an ultrabook with an i74558u (TDP 28W), and every time I play videos, the CPU's temperature is around 75°C, is it normal/ok?

Sounds really hot, it's not dangerous but it shouldn't be anywhere near those temps AFAIK

Might just be the manufacturer configuring the cooling so that the fan rarely or never runs unless things get seriously hot so that you can do things like watching video without fan noise?

Also could be a cooling design that isn't really supposed to take a i7-4558U but they used it anyway. (this is the highest-end config and others use less power)

For laptop Intel chips, 75C isn't all too much though anyway. They're running low voltages too.

75c still surprises me on a laptop dual core. When i ran encode on 4 core @3ghz with 0.96vcore my peak temp was like 20c over room temp after 10 mins, given that it's just a dual core that seems pretty barbaric temps for such a simple/easy task

It's more than I'd expect if it's just hitting the hardware decoder in a media player. If it's like Flash, then it's not so surprising to me.

On a typical system using a U processor, the heatsinks are very small. If it's running the fan at low speeds, that's about what happens. Actually, some systems don't run the fan at all for a load like that, potentially.

If the mobo can handle the temps around that area (the chip can), it's no problem.

I've been looking at getting one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814997003

According to DPort, you can run up to 4 monitors at a time off a single 1.2 DPort MST port (1080p range), 2 1440p, or 1 1440p and 2 1080p. The specs for this hub say it can do up to three at 60hz 24bpp. Now based on the limited information it sounds like this hub can still do a 1440p + two 1080s, but the 24bpp part concerns me. Right now my monitors all use 32-bit color. Research says the last 8 bits are for alpha (transparency) information.

In my case I'm looking to use one 2560x1440 and two 1680x1050s off this, with two separate 2560x1440s off dvi dual-link slots.

Does anyone know what loss I would expect at 24bpp vs 32 and whether this is even a concern? Also, would I expect meaningful latency increase to any of the monitors (notably a discrepancy between the two on DVI and the third on this hub)?

Thanks for the answers guys, they got me thinking and I was able to identify the cause, Power4Gear is a crappy energy management utility, I got rid of it and my CPU is ~47°C on average, ~60°C under heavy load.

I accidentally pressed Control + S ingame SC2 Starbow.No more ingame sounds.How to revert back the sounds? Ive tried checking all the boxes in the sounds option but when you go back to game or press OK and then going back to sound options the boxes returns as unchecked. It's weird to me... im new to SC2.

Did you try pressing ctrl+s again? It should just be a toggle.

Tried pressing control +s again and again but the sound's still disabled. And once I go to Sound Options, I would check recommended boxes and then going back ingame. But going back to sound options, those boxes checked are now unchecked. Pressing control +s multiple times will only display "Sounds disabled".

I'd like to edit two videos to be shown in the same movie side-by-side (or top+bottom) for showing on youtube, and also i want to take two screenshots and animate a smooth panning across the width of two screenshots edited together to be like 3840x1080.

from like.. [......[......] to [....[......]..] to [..[......]....] etc, if that makes sense. I need to make like 60-90 frames for a few seconds of 30fps video, scrolling across. I can manually make every single image but that would be a pain in the ass.

Anyone know any software to do this? For showing sc2 microstutter, i'm quite sure that i can show this by video now but a simulated "best case scenario" would show my point much, much better - i think a lot of people can't really see the problem without being aware of what it could be like.

Any help etc appreciated much, thanks
