Hey guys, I'm starting to get into this thread more now. I was just wondering if a GTX 740 was a good GPU? Its got 2GB of DDR4. It's on sale at best buy for $90, and I think its worth it. All I really play is Blockland and Euro Truck Simulator 2

it's not a good gpu for this day and age and the amount of ram doesn't make a card better

ok help

My mom's laptop won't boot
I can't get into BIOS to mess with boot order, I turn it on, it flashes the Samsung logo for like .1 seconds then immediately says "reboot and select boot device or insert boot media in selected drive and press a key"

ok nevermind i just held a bunch of f keys while booting

How did you not notice you were pressing lots of function keys at a time?

If that's the latest version then no.

For the cost of the GPU, you might as well spend the extra $30 and get a 750ti (people still recommend that right?)

So... you're saying a fan cooled your processor below the ambient temperature of the room?

You do know how heat works, yeah?

call bullstuff on the processors thermometer then
it read 3c
mine still goes below room temperature with only fans on this new setup

Literally impossible. We've gone over this on the thread before... A fan is just moving heat away from your processor, its not cooling in the sense that it could ever go below ambient.
