I’ve been happy with the be quiet 360mm aio cooler I bought for the 2700x, in a room at 24c it keeps it at 56c running flat out all the time with a 4Ghz base clock, it was pricey especially as I double fanned it but it’s surprisingly quiet considering it’s packing 6 fans. The full custom jobbies just scare me, I know i’d End up with water inside my machine

Good morning all/
What I fail to understand is that at this moment, although I am only running two out of the three usual machines, the ambient temperature is up to 30 each day (and not much cooler at night), I am still averaging around 11,000 points a day (4 threads down from usual). Ah well - I'll grin and bear it until I get my new Mac Book Pro in September - with 12 threads

Welcome to the team UBT JohnR .

I've hit 60 years runtime :)

Seemed to have dropped of the performance leaderboard since I started doing MIP.

DC How is your move going?
Would love to see some photos of your new digs.

I know, BT are great at making simple things difficult.

One of my better customers, an elderly couple, got me to move them from ADSL to Fibre, it took BT 3 missed visits, and 5 weeks of sufferage to my customers having no BB at all as it was done faultily the first try. They finally got fibre working, they received no compensation, and two weeks later The Male of this elderly couple unexpectedly dies, not BT's fault directly, but I have know him for over 20 years and he stands up for himself (he was a multi millionaire) but with a weak heart.
This all happened from beginning of June.

My local xDSL exchange was upgraded to support fibre connectivity some time in early-to-mid 2016, from memory. Ever since, BT Openreach have assigned a wonderful phrase to my local green-cabinet: "not financially viable to upgrade".

I guess I have to move house, to be able to upgrade to fibre!
