That view 71 in there is ALSO using the same philosophy as well as a few others. So again that doesn't mean it will not get enough air unless the gap is REALLY narrow. This isn't like some where it only can pull a little from the direct top or bottom. It has stand offs it mounts to that allow air to flow from 360 degrees and it looks to be cloe to a 3/8ths inch of space

From what I can tell that gap between glass and fans is close to a half inch... it is also 360 degree. So while air flow might be a littlr restricted those fans are getting plenty of air. I have seen MUCH worse designs that were heavily restricted yet the fans still moved enough air. This case isn't bad at all. Anything that is running tempered glass on the front will have a similar issue.

You have too much intake which is causing the heat to swirl in the case. If you are going to go this route then you should do something like this. Front- intake Bottom- intake Rear- exhauat Top - exhaust. The goal is to flow the air towards the back and up. With front,top, bottom all pushing air in the heat from your card cannot escape and it is just creating a hot pocket of air.

This all depends on what your ambient temp and humidity is in the area your PC resides. You can take those 2 numbers plug them in to any dew point calculator and see what your temps need to be above. I am going to say though that unless you are running sub zero temps your gpu speeds will not improve more than 12-36mhz.

This makes very little difference. We are talking fractions of a degree here. The same goes for lowering an overclock unless you are pushing insane voltages. When it comes to loop order it really doesn't matter. The temp of the loop doesn't change much from hottest to coldest unless your flow is terrible. If you are pushing 1gpm+ though it is mostly pointless. Just use a loop order that allows for the cleanest look. As to the OP what are your gpu temps? Unless you have a high ambient temp in your house gpu temps are the easiest to control.

Have you checked your host file to make sure it doesn't have something weird in there? That would explain why nothing is working since the host file is the first place your machine looks to resolve an address. I can also confirm the website is reachable as you mentioned before.

Have you tried checking your anti-virus? Depending on how the "patch" is done it might trigger as a false positive in some heuristic engines. If you don't know how to check you can also try dropping the download URL in virustotal.com. What is the file size? If small maybe I can just try to grab it and email it over.

Disk space? Problem with the actual download source?

Going to second this recommendation. I got one for my kid and it punches way above its price point.

1 - YES, soft skills are very important in this field. 2 - Yes/No here. I understand what you are trying to say, but doing help desk for 30k a year despite how much you love it isn't worth it. Also depending on what you want to do you might need to spend a few years doing something you hate (for experience). 3 - Also great information. I would also expand and say to focus on how they function with cloud services. There is a big difference how you use something via a brick and mortar owned server vs one on AWS. 4 - Great advice. I will toss in glorified unix (MacOS) too. The mobile platforms can also be important. 5 - learning how to code/script is more important than ever. The language you start with isn't as important. Learn the basics then you can pickup new syntax as needed. 6 - A huge YES here. This is something I am constantly having to educate others on. 7 - Yes/No on this one. This feels like a small business problem. In my experience we have people dedicated to these issues and can normally make our business justification just by metric tracking. If you can show , for example, that a server is constantly at 80% usage with spikes that make X amount of traffic to be rejected... then you just need to know how much that loses in terms of time (depending on volume). Then figure out how long payback would be (how long to pay for a new server with the money you were losing) in my experience anything 3 years or under is a good case. In the end like this user has said there are lots of intricacies in the field. I think the best you can do is just get started and see what you actually enjoy while gaining experience. What i do today wasn't even a huge consideration when I started... it wasn't until I started working on getting experience that I found I was passionate about it.

The only area of IT that pays 70kish at entry level is InfoSec. On top of that you do need to know the ins and outs of pretty much everything in the IT umbrella. With the shortages a degree or even a few certs might get you in the door at some places... after that experience is king anyways. If that interests you then I would say learn the ins and out of how a machine (Linux or windows) operates. Then from there focus on networking. The flow of data, handshakes, etc. Those are the most important things you need to get in this field.

Waiting to see if they respond to me first. Then will go from there.

A good air cooler on cpu will be quiet and honestly you picked the wrong platform if you want to "OC" on the cpu. The AMD cpus are limited on OC headroom and in most cases the boosting they do will yield better performance in most cases. As for the GPU this again depends on the cooler on it, but some are already pretty quiet even at higher rpms. If you are looking for good temps and sound characteristics... then get a hybrid card with an AIO already attached or just get a card and slap on one. Fro. What you would save you could get a 2070s, 2080s, or 2080 TI hybrid card. So I still would recommend nice air cooler for cpu and a hybrid card for gpu. You save money and get a faster computer in the end.

This got under my skin. People being out the product and the money is NOT accetpable and this is 100% a crime. I reached out to them from a more official identity and will see if they respond. I might ping the OP on the side for more information, but I plan to push this one. They need to be held accountable.

If you are willing to pay just go with a nice O365 solution and call it a day.

I might be a little biased or off base here, but other than anesthetics there isn't much reason to watercool what i consider a mid rangish system. You could easily sink the 600-800 this custom loop will cost to greatly increase your builds performance and just stick to air. Now if you were starting with a 3900-3950x with a 2080ti or something then tossing th money on top isnt keeping you from a substantially more powerful system.

Check this one out. It fits most 2070, 2070s, 2080 and 2080ti Just check the compatibility list. I got back a rma card that ended up being a 2070s (980 ti) and this was one of the few blocks that fit it.

True, but this is highly dependant on the method you use, the dns you use, etc.

My guess is it is a mount issue. I would say you had the inlet and outlet on cpu block backwords, but temps wouldn't be THAT high. I would suggest removing the block and looking at the paste spread to see if it is a issue with the IHS/block and to make sure the mount pressure was enough to spread it well enough. Normally when you have one device on the loop with good temps and the other with bad... then the issue is mounting.

For low intensity usage like that you are best off getting a cheap laptop/desktop since you will be hard pressed to build something comparable without going used for the price.

If you are using DNS encryption they cannot see even the website.

I have a 2600k machine at 4.8ghz (currently) with a 780ti and 16 gb of ram that is still in my "lab" and still gets played on by the kids. That machine is still relevant and can play any game thrown at it. It is going on what 8-9 years old. Now originally I think it did have a GTX580 in it, but it gets hand me down gpus as I upgrade my main rigs.

without knowing more about the pump I can't really help. Do you know what brand pump it is? When you connect the pump does it make any noise at all or vibrate or does it do absolutely nothing until you play with the molex connector? If the former then chances are there is an issue with air getting in the pump which is making it airlock until you cycle enough to get the air out. It could also just me an issue with the pump motor. If the latter is the issue then it is more than likely the pump or maybe even a short in one of the molex wires. Either way you will need to do some trial and error to see what the problem is. If you do decide to go with a new pump make sure to get something proven and tested like a d5.

I guess my question is why do you want it to be under 50c? If you want to overclock 50c vs 70c will make very little difference. If you are concerned about temps affecting longevity between 50 and 70c there should be no difference and even if there was it would be so miniscule as to not even be measureable by your average user. My point is you would be investing money into something that is moderately expensive, be adding a few hundred bucks in electricity usage over a year, adding a good amount of noise, and having to worry about things like condensation for a temp range that has no real benefit on your machine. Another point is on a cpu the overclock difference between 45c and 75c is not even worth talking about (assuming there even is one) it might add 12-24 mhz from the ryzen boosting, but i doubt it would even do that.

As was previously stated, NO. It does not have the cooling capacity to handle that much heat. It is also good in the case of a water chiller to have more than you need else the compressor will run non-stop. As for temps. It comes down to dew point which is the point at which condensation forms. There are plenty of easy calculators via Google to do it, but it depends on ambient temp and humidity. Now there are ways to increase your wiggle room before condensation forms like insulating it which is a barrier between your water/tubing and open air so that it doesn't condensate as easily if you are under the dew point. Now depending on the CPU unless you are pushing negative temps you will not get much wiggle room. In most cases you are just better off cooling the ambient air in your room. A chiller and a window/portable AC can be pretty similar in power consumption and if you aren't looking for extreme temps it is probably a better idea. Now if you are looking to really push the OC for benchmarks then by all means go for it.
