    Depending on when you got it you may be covered by warranty, otherwise yeah a new cooler would be needed. Air coolers wouldn't break down like this so if you do verify that you've got a pump issue, a high quality air cooler would be a good investment instead.

    sounds like pump noise from the AIO, any coolers to test against?

    SometimesStuff got a reaction from Technous285 in National Crime Agency lists Cybercrime "Warning Signs" for parents   
    Unfortunately, this campaign doesn't present it in the right way at all, it's scaremongering and doesn't give parents any useful advice, how can a parent talk to their child about cybercrime if they don't have the information or knowledge on the subject? An IT teacher at a school is better equip to give warnings/advice if the school hired someone competent, a parent will just get worried and panic if they don't understand. Then you also have to trust that the child will tell the truth to their parents on what they are doing on the computer, they aren't going to say "Oh yeah, I just DDoSed a website ma." unless they are A+ Stupid.
     
    The criteria listed is also a joke, completely useless, just scares and will probably mean that some kids are discouraged from going near a computer at home, or when they do, heavily supervised. It would be helpful to give parents useful information, not this...

    Many of you are likely to fall into the categories the NCA has listed as potential cybercriminals, so hand yourself in right away!
     
     


    According to Oomlout, the document says that a childs interest should be steered in a positive direction, but it doesn't do it in the right way, here's the quote.
     
     
     
     
    One of the other things the NCA said, was that this is aimed at parents of 12-15 year old boys, because they are clearly the only ones who could possibly commit cybercrime, or use a computer. So I guess, I have always been safe from the NCAs prying eyes and scaremongering!

    This is a terrible way to go about the whole issue, the tactics used and the list made are just going to make parents who don't understand anything about tech/computing scared without reason. I wouldn't have wanted my mum or dad coming into my room constantly asking "What are you doing? What are you doing?" which is what this seems to aim to want to promote. I'm not comfortable with any campaign which goes about getting their point across in this way.
     
    UPDATE:
     
    The NCA have made a change to their list on their website, possibly after getting some negative remarks, here is what it now states:
     
     
    Removed coding, learning material and data allowance from the list.

    The video is so annoying... "oh yeah, my kid fits all stereotypes, I have no idea what he's doing so I assume it's genious work, and he also told me he robs banks". Makes me want to punch the parents.
     
    -edit-
     
    in the light of a more thorough read of the nca post, I feel it's not as bad as it appeared from the article. The nca does aparently realize these signs are not necessarily a clear indicator of a cyber criminal and clearly say so in their website.

    Come on guys! We shouldn't just tolerate this! Us techies are stronger than this! We've made too many compromises; too many retreats. They take our privacy, and we fall back! They censor the internet, and we fall back! Now they want to take us out at the source? NO!!! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!
