I think you may want to look into calculating the dew point on the go, by using a combination of pressure, humidity and temperature sensors.This will ensure that you always are as low as you can be, which I assume is what you want I've found this thread, you might want to look into the practical way of completing this project https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=567732.0 . Overall, the aquaero devices are very flexible(I have two of them for my two watercooling loops) and offer very precise control over your loop, even if you decide to not look at humidity, but only temperature and pressure, which probably makes it even simpler, as both these sensors are manufactured by aquacomputer themselves I'd also recommend insulating the socket quite well.

Thank you very much for your reply, it seems that both choices I make would result in similar performance, so as you said it does come down to the preference of the motherboard. So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you would see Z390 as a viable option and choice? I was very concerned at first, when you said the 3950X would be significantly outperforming these intel SKUs, because as far as I know my two applications(gaming and Adobe premiere) are one of the few that still favor Intel as the performance king - I do follow some news, so it seems that in any other case the 3900/3950X would be clearly better options. Do you know anything about how any of these CPUs might age? As was the case with the 5930K I would prefer to have a very powerful system for many years to come, as opposed to having to upgrade in 2 years, and from past experience it seems that HEDT-platforms seem to be more long-lasting. The reason, why I'm now able to choose between such high-end SKUs - I was saving up for some time now, including extra jobs this summer. That's the only thing that allows me to now have a chance to start this hobby-project now.

Thanks a lot for your reply. There are a couple issues with your suggestion(please keep in mind that I have absolutely no intention of offending anyone) -The 3700X wouldn't be that great an upgrade from the 5930K -The 3700X would cost $300, which while(don't get me wrong) is absolutely great, would be a bit dumb to cool with a custom cooling loop with a cost of upwards of a $1000(And that loop component is absolutely vital, because I do these builds as a project to complete on weekend evenings and rest, there's no point for me to rush and build a system in 2 hours(which trust me I can easily do)). -The X570 boards that look nice are a bit expensive for what they are(not HEDT), and as I mentioned for these project-hobby builds the aesthetics are quite important. And, overall, I want to point out, that I personally don't care that much about supporting team red/blue, as long as I am the one getting a good component for my build.

I'm planning to begin my next computer-building hobby project in a few weeks. At the moment, I'm stuck deciding which platform and CPU I should go for. Currently, I am running on 5930K and EVGA X99 Micro. I would like you to understand that my system spends most of the time playing youtube and office work, with an average 1-3 hours of gaming per week, and about 1 hour of adobe premiere video editing. With the new system the use case would be pretty much the same. Now, you might ask: why am I upgrading? I am an enthusiast, I enjoy building a watercooled system over the course of multiple months on weekends, tediously modding the case, measuring bends(the X99 system mentioned above took about 4 months and has a custom brass cooling loop with incredibly clean turns and custom acrylic separators I made myself). So, while for me the aesthetics and build process itself play the greater role in this purchase, I still want to have a powerful machine for those 5 hours of power usage per week.(So yes, I'm mostly paying for the hobby part of working on my system for tens if not hundreds of hours until I reach a very personalized and custom system, not for the GAMING performance many people care so much about) Before anyone asks the resolution I game at is 3840x1600 @75Hz. On one hand, I am used to the HEDT-platform, I like the symmetrical positioning of RAM-slots on both side of the socket, the monoblock options and the great stability that the previous X99 platform offered for me for the last 4-5 years. On the other hand, it seems that the Z390 platform still offers great performance, slightly worse looks of the motherboards, but at the fraction of the cost. While I can afford both, Z390 would allow me to get a 2080 or 2080 Ti now, while with X299 I'd use my 1080Ti for now and later upgrade to a 3080Ti(which may actually turn out to be a better thing, as 2080Ti is close to EOL). And before you comment about this approach to pricing, you need to understand that the watercooling loop components for this build could easily end up at as much as the combination of 10980XE and high-end X299 board(the 5930K rig watercooling loop ended up costing me about 1500, because of the massive number of fittings and brass tubes) For anyone wondering, why I haven't yet mentioned AMD - I'm definitely not considering threadripper, as it's simply overkill. As for X570, I believe that I would lose some performance in adobe and games, and, perhaps more importantly for me personally, I could have to deal with stability issues - I've seen numerous reports of very inadequate behavior of ryzen boards and bios. Please ask any questions and suggest ways to decide between the numerous CPU options that are present for me today. If you have good suggestions for high-end boards for either platform, please provide these as well.

1) I can try doing the same thing(Removing the load balancer from the network) without the ZYXEL AP - I was planning on getting rid of it anyways 2) My desktop doesn't have Wifi, I'm using onboard networking on the EVGA X99 Micro 2, should be more than enough. And as I said the desktop works fine without the TP-Link load balancer, it's the APs that have a problem My switch is the Netgear FS116, again load balancer - TP-Link ER5120, Apple airport expresses and I will turn off the ZyXEL AP for now to test without it

Although I am a very tech savvy person I'm really bad at networking. So, the problem I am having: my house is supplied with about 200mbps, but I can never reach more than 50mbps down on my desktop. The way my network is layed out: Some VOIP modem with an Ethernet out, which is connected to a TP-Link Load Balance Router TL-ER5120(I don't know what it does, but I am blaming it for all of my issues), the LAN port on the load balancer is connected to a Netgear 16-port Gigabit switch, which in turn supplies all of my devices. I tried removing the TP-Link Load Balance Router from the network entirely, this brought the down-link on my desktop up to 100mbps(Which I am already pretty much satisfied with), BUT all of my 3 wireless AP stopped supplying an internet connection(2 Apple Airport Expresses and a ZYXEL wifi router). I also checked the settings of the Load Balance Router and there are no bandwidth limits or anything What I want: the 100mbps on my desktop with my APs working. Sorry for my basic network language, please ask any further questions and please help me fix it, I've been at war with this useless network setup for a few years now.

Thank you for your answer, I will definitely check that once I have a few exact TV models in mind, since now I don't even know a single solid option

It's ok, I thought the main brands also had something which could suit my needs

I think I will have to stick to the main worldwide brands like sony, lg, samsung though if there's some specific model from some other brand I think I will be able to find it, though it should be also available in Europe

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I am in a country where wallmart isn't a thing as well as othe US specific brands

Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this post. I'm trying to find a TV for my room which will be mounted above a couch on a wall(That means VESA mount support is required) the budget is up to about $700-800 but I'd may be prefer to spend less. The screen size I would prefer is from about 45 to 55 inches max. I feel like at such a screen size 4K is a must since even at 40 inches 1080p already feels pretty grainy. This TV will probably be powered by my PC only and used as an extra monitor for general use, gaming and movies from time to time. One thing which concerncs me is that currently I have 1070 which isn't quite enough for 4K(I mostly play Forza) but since I don't really play that much anymore I'm not so worried about it. Thickness for the TV is also a concern since I don't want it to stand out by 10 cm from the wall and that may likely be a deal breaker for me. I'd also prefer some reputable brand if that is possible I'm not so into TVs so thats why I don't really care that much about new TV technologies(Maybe I should though) like HDR and OLED, I also think those would make it impossible to find such a tv in my price range, but if I'm mistaken please prove me wrong. I feel like any good 4K tv will be an upgrade from my current map hanging on that wall but nevertheless I don't want to completely waist money on some useless 3 year old tv not worth it's price and that's why I'm asking for advice. Thank you everyone for answering and sorry for my bad english since russian is my mothertongue

Could it not gunk up the pump too though? I am trying 50 degree Celsius water in there right, just to try something else, if nothing helps I will probably try creating a pressure based loop, pouring water from a funnel up top for pressure to push it out the outlet.

I only have hard tube and fittings for it. Although I could try doing something since I did buy about 4 meters of that stuff. My pump is D5 Revo from ek, would that work? If it would be clear than cooling performance would drop since acrylic isn't as good as some metal, if I'm not mistaken

Why can't they make rads that you don't have to clean. 2 hours for nothing...

Just to make sure it's just me thinking there's too much gunk I will attach the picture of the poured out water after the first and the last attempt at cleaning it. Now that I look at those pictures it actually makes me worried. I didn't mention it before but the rad is and SE360
