Try making & updating an old Storm style water block for new CPUs Compare a current TOTL water cooling setup, a current TOTL AIO, and a TOTL water cooling setup from 20 years ago And what are you doing messing with that AC unit without trying to build a Cascade system?

I've been team 32 (overclockers.com) for about 14 years. Our 200-ish active folders didnt stand a chance. Good work Those are some insane numbers, almost equal to Default in points/24h and likely to pass it

- anyone on staff fix a problem (big or small) at home with some tech solution. May be more interesting the less techie the person is - writers/hosts describe their worst "pucker moments" when they did, or thought they might have, broken/borked their tech. Roundtable discussion - look at old water cooling "trends". Vortex res, evaporative tower, higher flow pumps, heater cores... any "old" cooling fads really. Can any of it be done better with current tech? With the new tools could you recreate an original Storm water block? - look at writers/hosts personal setups as a competition? Points for aesthetics, mods, benchmarks, value/cost, etc - more e-bikes, e-scooters - DIY phase change? - what used to be extreme or fringe and what happened to it? - Linus/Anthony drop a box on (i.e) Jakes desk and he needs to build a 486 from the parts inside and install windows - HTPC stuff. Do you go small and quiet in your entertainment center or remote/thin client to a more powerful PC for couch gaming. Elgato & thunderbolt vs thin client?

The drives you want will vary (slightly, I think) depending on what NAS OS you want to use Personally I recommend Unraid because you can add any drives to it and have useable space, you can easily expand* by adding a new drive and waiting for it to be cleared, and it will run dockers that can offload some tasks from your main rig (torrents and monitoring, etc) I tried Freenas a long time ago and just didnt have a good time. It worked but I switched, I dont recall exactly why. IIRC they also recommend 1GB ram per TB HD, not too costly at the moment but ram pricing just happens to be better right now. If you are using Unraid you do not need a boot drive, you just need a usb flash drive. The OS lives there If you have 3 hard drives one of those can (and should) be used as a parity drive. You dont get to use that drive as storage space, it is there to save you in the event of a drive failure. This will also be the largest (or one of) in the system. Don't worry if it's not a huge drive as it can be replaced down the road if you start to put 8TBs or 10TBs in the system If you can steal a stick of ram from your gaming rig and have a couple old drives around you could try things out and see how it goes, Unraid has a 30 day trial *expanding the size of the array is extremely easy in unraid. you plug in the drive, boot and click a few things to add it to your array. It will take some time to show up though, the system wants to zero the drive first. Expect this to take a few hours. This will also happen when you first create your NAS array. It will zero all of the drives, expect between 4 and 16 hours depending on the number of drives and their size

I believe you can mount the fan to the underside of the heat sink if case clearance is an issue, but you might lose some ram clearance. If ram clearance turns out to be an issue you could always go from a 140mm to a 120mm or try a slim fan

I'm a big fan of noctua so that's my default https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/?compatible_with=fGvRsY#m=99&c=33 brings up a list of AM4 compatible Noctua coolers that *should* fit in your case. The Noctua NH-U9S is a solid bet, the Noctua NH-L12/NF-A14 may also work for you depending on layout

If you plan to keep all of your raw and edited recordings around, you will always need more storage IMO one of the best reasons to build an unRaid machine is the ability to just add another drive at any time and not have to worry about the size. As far as I know you cant do this with normal raid arrays If you have any old hardware lying around you can dust it off and put it to work. If you don't get in to lots of add-ons or virtual machines unraid doesnt require anything powerful. What I ran into when trying off the shelf solutions was anything over 2 drives was too expensive, and anything with only 2 drives had a maximum drive size that meant it filled up relatively quickly It depends on if you're after maximum storage now or a long term plan. Maximum storage now at the lowest cost is adding more drives to your PC in software raid. Long term I'd go with something like this: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor $108.50 @ Vuugo Motherboard Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard $135.99 @ Newegg Canada Memory Team Elite Plus 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $43.99 @ Newegg Canada Storage Western Digital RE 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $52.45 @ Amazon Canada Storage Western Digital RE 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $52.45 @ Amazon Canada Storage Western Digital RE 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $52.45 @ Amazon Canada Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $445.83 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-08-22 17:37 EDT-0400 That gets you 4TB right now and the ability to keep feeding it 2tb drives. If you want to add larger drives down the road you would need to swap out your parity drive with one in that larger size as well, but that original 2tb parity drive can then be added to the array and used That system listed above will come out over $500 with shipping and a case

What I'd like to know is how to tune pihole to better block in-app adds on my phone/tablet

I've been having a bad time as well, but no corruption issues so not as bad as you My setup was working as I wanted it to but while diagnosing some problems I updated my bios (asus 370 prime) and now the system *will not* pass though any gpu to a VM It seems like this is a thing for AMD boards

My solution was to put shortcuts on my desktop that specifies the IP i want (and therefore uses the correct card) Create a new shortcut with \\190.180.1.110\*the folder you want* and repeat for any of your commonly used folders. For me that is the Deluge completed folder and the ones I commonly move files into As others have pointed out your IP ranges dont need to be that drastically different. My main network is all 192.168.1.x while the high speed cards are 192.168.10.x

$17 a pair. Big spender (Just grabbed 2 more pair this afternoon)
