Still interested in 5XL beta and alpha testing. I fit the criteria.

I am incredibly hyped.

Setting up a new system, I would like to set up a NAS for use with torrents (using PIA), serve my content with Plex, and to mine with 3 GPUs. Not sure if I would use TrueNAS, or just sick with Windows as I have for a few years. Not sure what OS will work best for this use case.

The laptop specs are moderately high, i7 8550u + GTX 1050, should it be able to run passively cooled (the oil, not the bare CPU)? I'm going to keep the stock heatsink, but replace the laptop fan with a higher performance blower from an iMac. I calculated the volume of the oil to about 3L, will that be enough for passively cooling the oil? I don't game much, it would be mostly desktop and multimedia use. I need to find a source for the tubing, I wouldn't need too much length as I wanted to use hard line metal tubing as much as I could, for aesthetics.

I am planning on parting out a laptop and make an oil cooled pc daily driver. I intend it to be A daily driver and I would like to plan for minimal maintenance. I would like it passively cooled but if I hit thermal soak issues I’ll need to externally mount a radiator for cooling the oil. What tubjng is best recommended, as I know mineral oil eats most rubber and plastic tubing. Will automotive fuel line work? Or do I need more exotic viton tubibg? For a pump, will a scavenged CLC pump be enough, or would something like a peristaltic pump or fish tank pump be more appropriate?

Okay, I've done all of those, no luck.

I ended up ordering two replacements, one from Amazon that was close but not right, and one from Aliexpress that was the right model. Both arrived, both work.

First off, bluetooth used to work. Then it suddently didn't. After a few hours of troubleshooting, I gave up and reinstalled my OS. It's still broken. Tried two BT headsets and a keyboard, two bluetooth adapters. Cannot get them to intermingle. Running a fresh install of Windows 10, having issues connecting the onboard Bluetooth (USB\VID_8087&PID_0AA7&REV_0001) Intel somethingsomething and a Sabrent "Generic Bluetooth Radio" (USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_8891) to either my pair of Galaxy Buds or Galaxy Buds+. I get mixed errors when trying to connect them, either it connects and adds the device, but it's not listed as an audio device, just "other". Or it refuses to connect with the errors ranging from "That didn't work" to "Couldn't connect, try connecting again". The earbuds work fine with my phone, my Thinkpad T14, etc. My bluetooth keyboard (Keychron) also will not pair with either the USB adapter or the Intel integrated. I am at my wits end, incredibly frustrated. Any insight on what to try?

Asking the real questions. I was going to order one but now i'm suspicious.

Took a nap, nothing happened in the time between. I stopped it and restarted, and the CPU picked up. GPU is not. 21:51:13:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 21:51:14:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 21:51:14:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: Could not get an assignment 21:51:14:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 21:51:14:ERROR:WU01:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:09:10:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:09:10:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:09:11:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 22:09:11:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:09:11:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 22:09:11:ERROR:WU01:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:38:12:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:38:12:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:38:13:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 22:38:13:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:38:13:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 22:38:13:ERROR:WU01:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:54:07:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:54:07:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration 22:54:07:ERROR:WU01:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment 22:54:27:WARNING:WU00:FS01:WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80 22:54:48:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: Failed to connect to 40.114.52.201:80: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 22:55:44:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration 22:56:05:WARNING:WU00:FS01:WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80 22:56:27:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: 10002: Received short response, expected 512 bytes, got 0 https://imgur.com/ebrjclX

Thanks, just wanted to make sure my setup was working!

Apologies for all the questions, but i'm new to this.

Yes, it is. Thanks for the help.

Fresh install of windows and OpenGL is showing up now. https://imgur.com/JOEulOQ

I probably need to reinstall windows, but at this point i'm cranky and tired. Will try something else in the morning. Maybe a windows reinstall.
