So I feel like an idiot, sorry for wasting your time. I tried calling my ISP a few times today but they had several hour long hold times. I tried back just as I posted this and got through. Discover moved my card to a different (higher level card) a few months ago and I must have had this bill on autopay on the card because they said my account was past due which coincided with the time my new card arrived. I didn't think I had anything on it that was autopay. anyway. I am surprised I could change to googles DNS and still get a decent number of sites with suspended service.

100/100 I am getting full speed now by the way, its just 70% of sites don't load.

EDIT: This was solved due to my own stupidity. thank you for looking. Leaving it here in case anyone searches in the future. I need some help identifying an issue. I will detail the issue and what I have done as well as my hardware. Issue: Internet connectivity is hit and miss. Some sites load others do not. I cannot load Microsoft or get any updates, cant load origin (battlefield), Linksys's site, and cannot load Pandora. I can load Cnet, Google, YouTube ... Issue started today but for the last few days I was getting slower than expected (half of normal) internet speeds. This is both wired and wireless. Hardware: Frontier Fios ONT to Ethernet, Ethernet from the ISP plugs into my router directly. There is no modem. Router is a Linksys wrt1900ac and is 2-3 years old. Trouble shooting: - For other reasons I thought the issue was only on my desktop and I was having issues with Origin anyway so I have done a full, fresh install of windows 10. kept nothing. - I set my router up to use Googles DNS (8.8.8.8) and this helped. I was not getting google.com before and now I do. - I confirmed this is an issue network wide on all devices - I used my phone as a wifi hotspot and everything works as expected. ( I am writing using this workaround now) - I have tried the netsh winsock reset catalog, netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log, and netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log - no impact - I have flushed DNS - Factory reset on router - Took the Ethernet coming from the ONT and plugged it directly into my computer (same results but I am not sure if this means anything since it bypassed my router it may be an ip thing? I don't know much about this side). I don't know how I can verify if the issue is on my ISP side or on my router side at this point. I am leaning to my ISP just because of the last point.

EDIT: go down one reply, his is much better. I am fairly certain you cannot add drives to an existing zpool. Changing the size of the zpool requires redoing everything and your data will be lost on those drives.

This video is the best explanation of UnRaid

the stock Wraith cooler is quite good. If you are not overclocking there isn't much reason to change it except for aesthetics.

those will be great then, it will be a huge upgrade

I would double check that RAM is Ryzen compatible. I know the Flare X series from Gskill is but I am not sure on the Corsair Dominator ... Ryzen has issues with certain ram Unless you need the extras on that motherboard, a B350 will be less expensive and can still overclock. If you are planning on overclocking, go with the 1700 rather than the 1700x. The parts you have are good, I would just double check the ram is compatible with Ryzen. Otherwise it just depends on what you want to spend your money on, your parts are better than the ones I listed above but do not necessarily make a performance difference. EDIT: your ram is good, ignore my first part http://www.corsair.com/en-us/landing/ryzen

speed and type will make little difference with you setup. Get the cheapest set available.

I am at 1.272v for 4.5ghz on the 6600k. On air, no problems.

I am pretty sure he was just talking about the aesthetics. From the pump(?) to the block was not 90 degrees, more like 100 degrees so not a perfect right angle. It would look a little off from above. They could have dremeled the mounting holes for the pump a bit further forward which would have made a nicer 90 degree angle to the block.

I have a i5-6600k @ 4.5 on air with a RX480. I play at 1080p and don't have any issues in BF1 (very CPU intense) or GTA V. - The passmark scores are not a measure of comparison for gaming. The i5 6600k is a better gaming cpu than the i7 2600k It doesn't seem like you really have a need to spend more on a new cpu. Until the CPU starts causing issues I would just stick with the i5. By the time the i5 is causing issues in games there will be another generation of the latest and greatest cpu to upgrade to.

I looked through most of the posts and I might have missed it, but you mention you want to OC the processor as much as possible so you are looking at getting a water cooler. This seems like a waste from what I have seen the Ryzen processors are generally not thermally bound during overclocking its just stability when you reach around 4ghz is bad. Getting a water cooler isn't going to fix it.

where are you getting that 70c is high? 70c is a very safe temp for just about any chip including a 1700. Ryzen does not throttle until 95c and if this was obtained through a stress test its highly unlikely you will ever reach that temp in real life usage. If its less than 80 in a stress test you are fine ... you're fine even higher than that, but its up to your level of risk, but 70 is nothing.
