    Or you can try this one. Same company (I think) but cheaper mic.

    Manny_NotTheStig got a reaction from BriBritheShyGuy in Slim fan for AIO rad?   
    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking to rebuild/refresh my build in a Corsair Air 240. I have a H100iV2 which will probably take up the front fan slots. I also have a hybrid gpu. Since I'm definitely going mAtx, it doesn't seem like the hybrid rad/fan would fit anywhere else.
    I was wondering if i got a 15mm fan like this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NOTVCUQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503679285&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=fn123&dpPl=1&dpID=41pNrW01LKL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1) which seems to have static pressure blade design, and used it with the hybrid rad, maybe I'll be able to fit it to the top and clear mobo/ram.
    So has anyone ever used a slim fan with a radiator?
    Thanks

    If you have suggestions, make them. Don't be an ass and make him feel bad for asking.

    Google DDU and follow the instructions.  Then go to NVIDIAs website and get the newest 1080 ti drivers

    1. I would replace the 10/100 NIC in the 2600 system with an NC360T. As for the Killer NIC I would keep that until you have any issues with it. No need to replace something that is not faulty.
     
    2. I think what you are talking about here is what is shown in the video (NIC Teaming). Whilst this is possible the process is incredibly difficult and I'm not even sure if it is supported in FreeNAS or any Windows version past 8. In addition, unless you have an SSD or a very good RAID 100 or 5 array you will be bottlenecked by the speed of your storage drive (E.g. If the max write speed of the drive you are accessing is 100mbits the max speed you will be able to access your files would be 100Mbits, even if you used 1gbit ethernet) If you did want to increase transfer speeds and the PCs were not too far apart you might want to invest in an SFP card (Example) and SFP cable. This is a lesser known standard based off SFP fibre cable that deliver 10Gbit networking speeds (For more info see this video)  Would only recommend it though if you have an SSD as it is way overpowered for a HDD.
     
    3. While it is not necessary to upgrade the switch you might want to think about upgrading anyway. The port based QoS is probably going to be a bottleneck. Would recommend a Netgear ProSafe 8-port as a replacement. I have one and they are very durable and very easy to set up.
     
    4. No. Although I have personally not used the Comcast Gateway, this would cause most routers to have DHCP clashes as it would see all the devices connected to the switch twice. Also unless you have internet that is faster than 1Gbits there is no benefit to you.
     
    As for your additional comment about SMB at the bottom. SMB is a type of netowrk protocol that allows you to share files and access other PCs acrosss a network. it includes a variety of useful tools including permissions (So you can limit certain peoples access to documents) and connection are digitally signed so you know who they are coming from. SMB is built into every Windows version and is very easy to use and can be used on Linux and Mac OS X with a bit of config.

    Yeah it was just something that I wondered ("if I could, why not").

    1. Yea agree with this.
     
    2. No what is being shown is not NIC teaming but what is called SMB Multichannel. Between Windows systems that support this feature it is seamless and 'just works', for linux based systems you must be running the latest version of SAMBA and it is still classed as experimental/early release feature.
     
    @Manny_NotTheStig
    SMB multichannel or 10Gb do give great speed improvements but as @jjbone1000 point out unless the storage can deliver more than what a single 1Gb connection can offer by a significant amount it's not worth the extra cost or cabling in multichannel's case. Also is there actually a need for faster than 1Gb too, most of the time the answer is no.
