    XzzDSA got a reaction from W-L in Advice for using 60mm XE rad from EKWB?   
    Yeah. That's what I've been thinking, I know AP121's are def not the quitest fans in the world if you want to run them faster.
    I think I'll consider going for some F12's.  Though before I do I'll have to be certain they can push the amount of air required without making too much noise.. 
    But then again, if they can't do that, I'll have a hard time finding any fan that actually CAN do that. Maybe some noiseblockers but they don't really fit my scheme.

    Ended up half emptying my loop to fix the issue. Back on track now and leak testing again

    XzzDSA reacted to Benji_w in Watercooling loop cleaning, how do I do it properly?   
    The problem with using vinegar to clean your loop is you need to make sure that it is actually free of the acid it will leave behind. If you want to clean your loop properly then I'd suggest the following.
    Drain your loop Remove the loop from your case Disassemble blocks and clean (don't use acid on Nickel plated parts) Use water and vinegar in your rad, shake it and drain then flush the rad for a good while (if you can test the pH level with test strips) Check pump is clean, usually it will be fine Reassemble and leak test, Always leak test... This is how you do it "properly".

    Right, sorry about the lack of updates. Basicly I've got a completely new problem with my fiber connection now. Trying to resolve that part before I hook up any additional APs.

    Ill try and move the Apple AP around to see what kind of coverage I get.. Then take it from there

    Right, so I'll be focusing on the celler, beucause honestly the other floors are actually okay.

    So here's a clean version of the celler layout, with the rough areas of either REALLY BAD signal strength and stability, or nothing at all.
    This is with the AP (behind a TV) on the wall to the left of the stairs (red dot).
     
    By the way. We are using apple AP, all connected to an Apple extreme router, which this is connected to our modem.
    So my question is now, should I invest in more apple APs and dot around this floor to cover the blackspots? Or is there an AP that can punch through these walls better?

    Basicly my theory is that all of the concrete and glass walls results in ALOT of deadspots and low strenght signals through out the whole house.

    Here are the layouts of all three floors:
     
    - Thick walls represent solid concrete walls
    - Thin walls represent glass walls (no outer wall also represents glass walls/windows)
     
    - Red and Blue dots represent 1gbit ethernet outlets. Which are all connected (or can be) to a big 24-port switch and router/modem.
     
     
    (I'll clean up the pictures when I add the connectivity/deadspots)

    When I get home later this evening, I'll upload the maps and later update with the connectivity. You'll understand better, why I wanted to make this thread.
     
    Also, I need to be sure I understand this properly:
    My understanding of how AP's/Range extenders work is that they split the total bandwith across themselves. So say I have two AP's and an ingoing speed of 100mbit. I'd split the bandwith between the two AP's evenly, regardless of the load on either one. So a maximum of 50mbit would be able to be pulled from any one AP at any time..
    This might be completely wrong, but I read this somewhere, at some point. Might have missunderstood it though so please enlighten me

    Good question:
    We've got ethernet ports in 95% of rooms throughout the house, so there're plenty of spots to mount access points.

    Right. So I'm waiting for a bunch of blueprints of the house. When I've got those I'll upload maps for each story with a rough blackout of the connectivity, and we'll go from there I didn't get to do it the other night as I'd hoped for unfortunally And I'll be out of the house the next few days as well. But I'm not in a hurry anyways

    Heyo o/
     
    So a few years back my family and I moved in to a brand new house. And ever since I've been super frustrated with the wireless connectivity throughout the house.
     
    Reasoning for the lackluster connectivity is mostly due (I believe) to the massive concrete walls and big window fronts that make up most of the house, in several stories. 
     
    So this thread is going to be a small project thread where I will plan for a proper network setup for the wireless connectivity throughout the house. I'll get some plans and record some speeds throughout the house so that I and anyone who's interrested in helping me out with this, can get an idea of how the connectivity is now, the layout of the house, and how the wireless solution (hopefully) will improve going forward.
     
    I hope some of you network geniouses are willing to help me out
     
    EDIT:(19/08/15)
    I'll be uploading a layout, our current configuration and the connectivity, probably later tonight.

    XzzDSA got a reaction from Lexias in Former Apple Executive Fined and imprisoned.   
    Not sure what to think about it, and not sure how much money he might have "earned" through this... From a 20 year sentence to a 4.5 million dollar fine... It's a lot of money, but somehow I believe that he have earned several times that during these years... For big companies like apple, and the manufactures they partner with, 4.5m$ are not a lot of money.


    I don't really know what to think. 20 years seems waay overkill - 4.5m$ is a lot, but again - not sure if it is a fair judgement.
     
    Sad it took 3 years though...

    I have evolved my oppinion a bit the last week and I think I will stick with a pair of comfortable, open-back headphones like the DT990s for now.
    The whole transport thing is moslty an extra for when I'm traveling long distance - but I WILL be getting a pair for that purpose in the future, just not sure which just yet. 
    And maybe as you are saying @ShearMe I'll get a pair of a different brand.

    A Hackintosh is just a name used for when someone putting the MAC operation system (OSX) onto another system, like one you've build yourself.

    It has ALL the same features like a real mac does (All that is supported by the hardware).

    Though look up what parts you need to use. In the past not all hardware have been OSX compatible.. Not sure about the current status.

    Hey Techies!

    So I've got a planning thread, which has been ongoing for about a year now. (You can find a link in my signature).
    In that thread I've been sharing my thoughts on what I want to do with my rig, and so far this is where I'm at:


     
    This is my current rig:
    CPU
    Intel i7 930 2.8Ghz Motherboard
    Asus rampage III Extreme RAM
    Corsair Dominator GT 2000Mhz 3x2GB GPU
    EVGA Geforce GTX 980 Case
    Silverstone Temjin TJ11 Storage
    OCZ Vertex 5 256GB + WD Green 1TB PSU
    Corsair TX650 80+ Bronze Soundcard
    Onboard Audio Cooling
    Corsair Hydro H50
      So the plan with this thread, is to show you the process of WATERCOOLING my rig

    Here's an overview of 'almost' all of the parts I'll be putting in my TJ11.
    (Quality is not the best (iPhone recording, what do you expect? )




    Here's a full list: CPU
    EK Supremacy EVO - Acetal + Nickel (CSQ) GPU
    EK FC 980 GTX - Acetal + Nickel  Pump
    EK D5 Vario Motor Reservoir
    EK RES X3 400  Radiator
    EK CoolStream RAD XT 480 (quad) Fittings
    RL CSQ Push On Fitting 16/10mm (8 fittings)  Tubing & coolant
    PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Crystal Clear Other
    EK D5 Cover Kit - Acetal + Nickel
    EK-UNI Holder D5
    EK D5 X-TOP CSQ - Acetal
    Silverstone AP121 red LED  
    Anyways.. This is it for now. I will keep updating you guys on my progress - any new parts, and If you'll like, I'll do some unboxing pictures of the parts individually
