Wouldn't you be better having the radiator as the exhaust and then letting the cracks elsewhere on the computer provide the inlet? If your choices are to actively blow hot air over your components or to allow room temperature air to passively drift by your components... wouldn't it be better to do the second option?

So. I bought pilighting.com about 20 years ago or so and have my lighting portfolio on it. there is a much larger company that started up after that, and their website is pi-lighting.com. I no longer wish to keep my website as I switched career focus, so I reached out to them to see if they want to buy the domain. The only problem is: they are in Switzerland. If they were here, I could draw up a contract and have the legal protection behind me, but I have no idea how to sell something internationally. What should I do?

I mean... hardware shutting down cause it's overheating IS by design, but still could eventually hurt it.

This is asked a lot. short answer: No. Your computer is designed to be a closed case with fans in an d fans out. If you took off the side panel till payday, just point a box fan at it.

To be clear, the windows 7 machine was different hardware, so the more I think about it, the more it could be a BIOS setting.

Specs: intel 14900k 64 GB DDR5 6500 Ram windows is on an m.2 drive I don't think it's the hardware...

I have windows 11 desktop set to put the computer to sleep after an hour of inactivity, but when I wake it back up it takes about 20 seconds (actually I just timed it at 18 seconds) to wakeup. My windows 7 setup was less than 5 seconds. Any idea what i can do to speed this up, short of just changing it to "screen off" instead?

Oh, I thought you meant the concept of the raid is slower; like how 1 is slower than 0 in it's very nature, not that it is slower because of the shortcomings of the controller.

I've never heard this. can anyone explain WHY things slow down with more drives in these configurations?

did you buy it used or new? If you bought it used; it's pretty evident why the last owner sold it. In either case, take it back.

oh, i see now the column where it says "purchased"

Why does the intel build have 4 hard drives? Also, save yourself a thousand bucks and go down a tier for your graphics card.

I used to host Diablo 2 parties; It was such a great time! I wish i had friends... good lord I used to be so much more fun... What game are you planning on doing? AOE is always a great game when you have people in the same room: put 5 humans against one "max difficulty" bot civilization and it's a great comradery builder.

I dunno... apple customers have a reputation of being more demanding (they aren't so, but the prejudice is there). The brand is built on being the image of perfection, so if you go in person to the store and make a big stink you might get a replacement. But don't give them a dime to repair or replace it. If they try and change you anything, walk away.
