    Question Helium Mining?

    I did a couple days of research. The Nebra aren't the optimum earner in the field. Apparently lots of trouble with the company as well, support is bad. They're being scalped on eBay for about a grand each. I don't believe they are worth that, though they are hard to get right now. Failures...

    Question Helium Mining?

    I can buy 15 Nebra Outdoor Hotspots for cash tomorrow, in hand, sealed in the box. They are over a year old and have never been installed. I live in a semi-rural area and have a lot of connections for installs. What should I do? Offer him $399 each and turn them over on eBay for $600? Buy 3 or...

    [SOLVED] My Cooling system is making some weird random noises

    (Cringing) My 2 cents. Coolant evaporates from AIOs, some more than others. I have my clients replace them about every 24-36 months. If they don't want to spend the money, then I find a way to drain them and refill with good coolant. Done probably 6 or 7 that way. That noise is friction and it's...

    [SOLVED] ! fan stop spinning

    Just wondering... If all of your fan headers are PWM controllable then why wouldn't you just use a couple of two or three-way fan splitters and simplify things. I do that and use Argus Monitor software and I have complete control of all the fans.

    [SOLVED] Chilly Garage??

    Ok Sarge I get it. You're an old Haswell guy too. What kind of voltage do you run on the 4790? Otherwise, got what I came for. Condensation bad. Temps are fine. I just wish the loop didn't heat up so fast and stay that way. More coolant wouldn't hurt, maybe external and keep the rad indoors...

    [SOLVED] aio pump sounds like chainsaw! (super loud)

    So you either have a boatload of air in the loop or something has broken off and it's toast. Not sure about Coolermaster, but after a couple AIO failures and getting stuck with one of the bad Evermax AIOs I have taken to dismantling them, inspection and cleaning, then refill completely with...

    [SOLVED] ! fan stop spinning

    Is the fan hub connected to SATA power or a fan header on the motherboard. 6 fans seems like it would be amp heavy for a fan header on the mobo. Just a guess, I'm no expert on it.

    [SOLVED] Chilly Garage??

    Yeah Lei, I thought about something like that. My case has tube exits on the back and I thought about getting a couple sets of those quick-connect fittings. Then run tubes out to the garage with a large rad and fans out there and back in. Then in the summer just run a "jumper tube" in the back...

    [SOLVED] Chilly Garage??

    Thanks folks. I just was remembering that the old server rooms were kept very cool. I have dual, loops three rads, vrm, gpus and cpu all liquid. Processor doesn't really get over about 70 even when over-clocking. Don't think I'm temp bound. 4790K runs stable at 48 for hours. Can game at 49. I've...

    [SOLVED] Chilly Garage??

    I realize sub-ambient chilled coolant would cause condensation if the computer resides in a 72f degree room. And this might be a dumb question but here goes. On the other side of my office wall is my attached garage that is not heated. It generally hangs about 43f, rising a bit when I bring the...

    Roku w/Yamaha AVR

    Roku streaming stick works fine on TV. When plugged into Yamaha AVR HDMI port all Roku menus are visible on TV. Looks like it's working fine until you try to actually watch any show or movie. Does not seem to advance to buffering spinner. Roku was registered while attached directly to Bravia TV...

    Too PCIE SSD or not with Poseidon GTX 780

    Maximus VI Formula. Have 2 Poseidons but not gaming that much anyway. Bought Plextor NVMe SSD. Lack of lanes issues I guess. Removed 2nd Poseidon(might sell or move to multimedia pc) and Put Plextor SSD in PCIE 16x(not) slot 3. It uses 3.0 4x. I can't seem to get the remaining Poseidon in 16x...
