For a general PC user, not really anything aside from keeping a bunch of browser tabs open. Multiboxing (running a multiple copies of a game client at the same time) uses a lot of RAM, aside from those i can't really think of anything specific

The only thing that would take over 8gigs of ram while gaming ATM is denuvo DRM

I have a Printer/Fax Server that needs to be replaced.
Question: If I unplugged the network cable from the old one and plugged it to the New PC. will the IP address remains the same?
Thank you

That really depends on your router. By default, no.
(all similar on Windows vista/7/8) You can go to 'Network and Sharing Center' --> 'Local Area Connection' --> Properties --> Click on 'Internet Protocol Version 4' --> Properties.
Fill in all the IP settings from your old computer and then it will get stay on that same IP address. To check your current IP settings on your old computer is ; Go to start --> type cmd (or click on run in XP) in search bar --> open it --> type 'ipconfig /all'.

I added an EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW to my stock PC a couple weeks ago and I'm wondering if I have room to safely overclock it.
I have: Intel i5-3350P 3.10GHz 8GB RAM 460w PSU EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW
I ran the Valley benchmark and here's what it says about the cardt:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8cDy0Wj.jpg) Graphics: 1463 MHz Memory: 2700MHz Temperature: 50 degrees
The temperature maxes out around 53-55 degrees. Most reviews/benchmarks I've seen have the card clocking in at a lower rate (around 1346 MHz) before overclocking, and just over 1460 MHz after overclocking.

Yes is fine. The Valley clock speed readout is often completely wrong, btw

Edit: Oddly enough, the Heaven benchmark says the same thing. Is there a program that will reliably measure how the card is doing? Just gonna use PrecisionX.

heaven/valley use the same code there. I just cross reference with gpu-z and msi afterburner

If this isn't within the thread's remit, feel free to delete.
I have a Facebook 'group' with 5 years going back of material. I want to export all of it and back it up for various reasons. Facebook doesn't let you do this and I've looked around elsewhere.
I'm reasonably competent and have nothing but time to kill at the minute, how would I go around doing this? Found a few links which did confuse me a little as I'm not a programmer, but in layman's terms even an explanation as to it's viability and roughly what one would do. All text, all photos, everything from the inception, without having to manually pull it all.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Any reason a brand new 1tb Seagate drive won't detect in BIOS? I'm running a mobo that is using legacy mode for everything and non UEFI due to using pirated windows [ loader ] It will detect my older hard drive samsung 1tb [ already formatted and used, no windows tho ] just fine.
Tried verified working SATA cables and swapping around which port I'm using. Is it just dead?
Edit: messing around in bios settings didn't really work. I made it so UEFI and legacy both were options where I could. Dead drive?

Every so often the Realtek HD Audio Manager message "You just unplugged a device into the audio jack" or "You just plugged a device into the audio jack" pops up from my system tray... I double checked my speakers are plugged in fully and that's not the issue. What could it be?

@Cyro
I will choose the 290 Sapphire Tri-X OC Edition Thanks for the input.
On another matter, I've just build my new PC yesterday, and I believe I'm getting somewhat weird temperatures on my CPU. With AIDA64 for Temps measuring, I get 40~45C with only chrome opened, and 47~52C playing Heroes of the Storm (minimal graphics since i'm using hd4600). Is this normal, or should I reapply thermal paste? I believe with my previous processor (i5 4670k) I had better temperatures.
Edit: For both builds the Cooler was a Hyper evo 212 CM

With power saving settings correctly on and 0% CPU load, you should see ~800mhz @~0.85v (or less) in cpu monitoring software and idle temps about 7-15c over your room temps (variance between cores is normal)

BLU RAY vs DVD? I'm thinking about buying my favourite shows/series/movies but I'm unsure what format to get... DVD reader seems to be more widespread (among my friends and family) and they are usually much cheaper!
Thoughts?

NSA duh?!
But seriously I used to have the same issue. I don't remember how/if I ever resolved it. I think I just replaced my audio drivers.
