That would probably work.

Any way to resize the columns in the table? I'm not saying don't rotate it, but it would look kinda funny, I think. But it's your paper.
 
One other option could be to split the document into three.
 
Perhaps you could type it into excel or something and then staple it to the back of your paper as an "appendix" or something.

A question: Along with a friend, I'm doing a Petty fansite. Does this graphic look okay?

Thanks :)

Sp long as you want a small header it's fine. ;)
 
Is it weird/bad for my gpu to have raised 14C from when I got it to now? It can't be much hotter in my room if at all since then since I've got my AC on all the time, so I don't get it other than maybe the sensor wasn't reading right originally and has burned in now or something, or that there seems to have collected a bit of dust in the grills of the heatsink, which the shape of which makes it a bid annoying to try to clean out.

Also, going past 50% fan speed has no effect on temps it seems. At least not idle, haven't checked load because past 50% the sound goes up a ton. I do know at 100% it gets really loud(don't even hear it at 50%) and the temps actually went up a degree I think.

Its not really weird. Dust is probably the main factor here. My GTX260 used to run at 70C MAX on load, now it hits 95C occasionally. a 25C increase in load temps isnt only due to the fact that its summer.

Checking how well fan speeds work on idle is a pretty stupid idea. Idle temps are already close to minimal, so you're gonna need more effort from the cooler to cool less. Load up something shader-intensive and then compare the effects of the fan speeds. I almost guarantee that 100% will be more effective than 50% ( Unless you have a weird cooler and bad airflow in the case)
 
When I got my HD4850 it would idle a bit above 50c at 50% fan speed. Then it would gradually raise, first to 60c and then a few months later to 70c

Replaced the stock cooler with the Accelero S1. When I was replacing the fan I didn't notice that much dust, I think it has more to do with GPU thermal paste than dust
 
I'm using Word 2007.

I have a table that won't fit into a page. It can fit if I change the orientation of the page to landscape, but I can't do that since it would screw up the page numbering. So I'd like to change the orientation of the table only, like rotating a picture 90degrees.
Insert the table as an unnumbered page titled "Table XX". In your TOC list it as following p X.

The accelero is nice and all, but it wouldnt work for me. I need a cooler that exausts as much of the hot air out the back of the case as possible. ive already got a quad core running at 100% and a pair of GTX 260's in the case. The only way they keep reasonable temps is by pumping air out to the back of the case. If they didnt do that, Id end up with a pocket of hot air in between the two GPU's ( The front fan there is blocked by HDD's and I dont have any room to move them up and the PSU wouldnt be able to move the air either)

Since ive got a pair of cards and both are EVGA, im gonna run them flat out until they burn out. It wont happen for both of them at the same time, and EVGA RMA is excellent ( If it happens in a year, Ill probly get the equivalent of a GTX 360 (or whatever the GPU at that time is)
 
Okay, so my sound doesn't support Stereo Mix/Wave Out, even with the "disabled devices" trick.

However, on the front (well, side) of my computer I notice two audio jacks: One has a picture of a microphone and the other a picture of headphones (which looks strangely like a horseshoe to me).

Is there some way I can plug in a cable (what kind?) and trick it into recording from that?

Speakers properties:

Also says "front panel" for one of the two microphone properties.

Edit: Would the component cables for a DVD player work? If so, which color is the audio? (I forgot :blush:)

I have a 4830. It already has a big fan on it stock.

1. No, they wouldnt. Component cables are RCA, you need a male-male 3.5mm jack cable.
2. Component cables dont care what color is which. They're simply color labeled so you dont stick one end into video and the other into sound. I know ive used 3 yellow cables before when I couldnt find the red and white ones and that worked perfectly fine. In the end, its just a copper wire...
 
I need to insert a table into my dissertation, but it's too long for the portrait orientation. How do I change the table's orientation to landscape while maintaining the page's portrait orientation (for numbering purposes)?

You can create a section break before the table and after. WOrd allows different sections to have different orientations, so set the table section to landscape.

Yeah, whenever I need long cables, I just buy quality cable cut from spools at Canadian Tire, and crimp my own ends on.

It's particularly amusing for speaker wire, as you can buy actual speaker wire from Canadian Tire for five times the prices, and it doesn't need any ends anyway.
 
If I ever need extra (I doubt THAT, I have tons of them laying around), I'd just buy the cheapest ones I can find (last I checked $3.00 at Great Canadian Dollar Store.)

EDIT: Can't find any stereo jack cables. Also, I googled it and one person says you can blow your sound card.. WTH?!

ANOTHER EDIT: More googling seems to say it's to do with the microphone thing being boosted and to try a "line-in."

Here's my recording devices:

The line-in is on the rear panel, it says.
