Thanks!

Hello all, I recently just finished my first custom liquid cooling system, and promptly took it apart a week later because of a corrupt bios chip on my motherboard. I had to send the motherboard back for RMA which meant i needed to drain my system. As with many first time custom cooling loops, I did not adequately plan on a drain system for my loop. Now that I have it all apart I would like to address this issue. Since my pump is nearly the lowest part of my system I would like to install a drain valve on the 2nd g1/4 inlet port on my xspc photon res pump combo. This seemingly simple task has left me with questions on what I actually need to buy. I have found this BitsPower Mini Valve which seems to be the valve I would like but I believe it has two female g1/4. Is there then an adapter I need with two male ends so I can thread into the female inlet port on my pump? Is there a simpler way of doing this? My thought here is to have a valve off the pump with an extra fitting with say a foot of tube that I can skrew onto the valve to drain my system. Thanks!

I wasn't until the Gigabyte mobo I spent hours choosing went out of stock at newegg.

I realize it is coming down in price. Fact remains that I have 16GB of DDR3 and I wouldn't need to purchase memory if I stayed with Devil's Canyon.

That's what I'm afraid of. I don't think Intel will keep making them and with the upgrade barrier being higher with having to purchase DDR4 I'm afraid they will be gone off the shelves sooner than later.

WIth the recent release of Skylake, does anyone have idea's of how long the 5th gen will be available? My Ivy bridge just gave up and while upgrading to skylake would be nice that means I would also have to purchase DDR4 memory to go with my new cpu and mobo.

I just deployed 4 of the Ubiquiti Pro's. So not the AC version you have above but what I can say is the range and speed was far better than I had expected and they were a breeze to setup.

I did read your post, and I did say I agree with you... An I7 with HT yeilding 8 threads is technically not an 8 core chip BUT in the eyes of programs and the OS it might as well be...

I agree there will more than likely not be anymore than 8 cores offered in consumer Skylake chips. What I am watching for and what I think most are watching for is more PCI Express lanes.

I am currently on Charter and my speed test just tested at 65/5.. I pay for a 20 down connection.. I didnt used to get this speed but alot of people in my sub division just switched to ATT since they moved into the area last summer. Speeds to do depend on the hardware but they also greatly depend on how many people are on in your local area. ISP's will over sell an area but if you are lucky enough like me it is possible to get over the amount... My advice ask your neighbors what they have and get the opposite!!

The problem is my ISP doesn't offer a VPN client for use to connect to their equipment. To be able to use the WIndows built in solution I would need them to open port 1723 which they will if I ask and agree to pay their rediculous $150 charge. The contract is up October of 2016 and I'm counting down the days. I was hoping to find another solution that would allow me to esablish a secure connection through a port that is already open.

Once the new solution is in place and ready to go live it will have to pass an audit by the companies insurance company... Why is asking a forum something so wrong, maybe someone can make a point that I didn't see? I'm not asking for someone to be liable on what they say.. Just asking if anyone has experience with this type of situation and would have a product that they use to achieve the desired result.

At my work we have a main office with about 8 branch offices. These are small offices with usually only 1 computer at the remote offices. The users at these locations float from one location to the next frequently throughout the week (receptionists that follow doctors). I have recently setup a RDS server at the main office that the users work in. Since they move from PC to PC frequently having a single point to work on is really benifical to them. All sites up until now have VPN connections from firewall to firewall in a full mesh senario that is provided by our ISP. Now we have 1 location that for some reason they cannot get on the VPN network. So I am looking for a solution that I can implement that will meet Hipaa guidelines that I can use for basically that one solution. Thanks for your response.

Hello all, All Hipaa explanations I can find say that for data to be accessed remotely the end user must have a secure and encrypted connection to the desired resource, but don't seem to get much more detailed then that. I was wondering if anyone knew if utilities like Neorouter would be hipaa compliant. Since the VPN server is setup on your server and not something everyone else is using and provides encrypted connections would that be suffient to be Hipaa compliant? Thanks

Thanks all for the input, I think a starter kit will be the way to go.
