If Miami with all it's sketchyness turns out to be a great location I can't fathom Orlando not getting one. Orlando is a solid town with a lot of upper middle class residential.
Yes. Ideally you want the dissolved oxygen to be close to zero too.
It's hard to get things near perfect in a home environment. Additives, in theory can help but without monitoring cycles of concentration, flow control and delta across devices...
I learned too late, I flushed it, cleaned the plastic and metal fragments out the best I could, sold it all, went with a series of AiOs, and likely won't go back.
Nostalgia.
Same reason why some will pay $$$ for a scratchy old 78rpm Wurlitzer jukebox with bubble tubes when a phone and partybox would be louder and more detailed. ;-)
Yep, that's your answer right there. Purest water (ideally 18meg+ RODI) measuring 00000TDS is best.
Keep it dark as possible (completely opaque hoses and reservoirs), NO boutique reservoirs (waterfalls, lighting, et al).
Pure silver kill coil...
EK continues to masquerade as some high end (with high prices) watercooling company and people keep gobbling it up. Meanwhile they have some of the worst quality control and general quality I've seen whether it's their plating, quality of...
Always use Laing OEM parts and pure distilled water. 100s of k hours.
But run dry and the bearing is toast.
If you need higher flow and head use Iwaki RD30. They deliver the goods.
Another vote for sn850x. Well reviewed, reliable, proven, when you upgrade it’s still good since it’s a gen 4, and no parts swapping shenanigans that I know of. I have more than a few of these and after much research I’m glad I went with them.
All bios updates have risk. I wouldn't update any bios unless it addresses an issue I'm experiencing. I have used beta bios updates.
The news here is not "beta" it's the mb mfg adding a clearly labeled setting that imposes cpu mfg "stock"...
$650 at my local Microcenter with 5 in stock.
My 14900K has more "biscuits" than the 14900KS does according to the Aorus BIOS (like ASIC quality on NV).
The 14900K will run 192GB RAM at DDR5 5600 and the KS is stuck in training hell. Go figure.
My biggest issue with Teams is default auto starting.
It's amazing how much faster a well optimized Windows system is compared to the out of the box experience. Particularly with vendor preloads with ridiculous amounts of crapware.
Anyone using SSDs for caching larger volumes of spinning rust?
We had an issue with a few Synology Rackstations where copying/reading hundreds of thousands of small files into a database application was chugging even on 10Gbit. Added a pair of...
Can confirm it approaches 15GB/S reads and 13GB/S writes.
Real world copying from one drive to another hits 6GB/S in explorer and was pretty stable (multiple VHDX files in the 600GB range).
Bare drives using mobo heatsink (Aorus Extreme X) and...
Disabling those features including uninstalling works initially but it will come back later, often surreptitiously. Like many unwanted programs.
I'm in the crowd that will install what I need when I need it. None of this forced nonsense...
