Are you talking about repasting my Asus wifi router? It's a year old and I've never heard of having to do that It's got to be something in the software I would think?

What do you mean?

So about a year ago, I setup an Asus Zenfi AX router with Proton VPN installed on it Everything worked fine for almost a year, and then about a month ago I started running into connection issues So I looked at everything and it seemed the VPN certificate was going to expire in a month, which...

I am selling my all aluminum, PC Desk Chassis Just the chassis - no PC or watercooled parts The desk case itself is 1/4 aluminum made by a local shop in Cleveland, Ohio. The frame and legs are solid 2.5" aluminun bar stock. Incredible case and I hate to see it go, but I've just changed...

I'm ok with paying for a good program to help me manage the HDDs backing each other up I use Paragon for taking an .iso of my OS and Acronis for copying entire HDDs, but I dont think either one of them have a paid option that would do this. Do you have any suggestions?

Hmm, now I'm wondering if I even needed the blacks if they're just going to be media drives. I wanted them to load faster than the blues when I was scrolling through lots of pictures and waiting for thumbnails to load. I did get a new case and much better air flow and they now stay around...

Ok I ran task manager for a bit and it was showing 0% activity - they were both totally idle Yet they continued to climb upwards of 120*+ I shut it down and unplugged them again because I don't have adequate air flow at the moment for me to feel comfortable just letting them go. So I ordered...

Ok so I entered each full address into that website and nothing came up for any of them Was I supposed to just enter a certain amount of the MAC address, or the whole thing? How do I make the devices show me their true MAC address to identify them? I only have my computer, iphone, & samsung...

lol I wasn't able to get to it right away and wanted to re-read all of the replies, but I have updated with all info now. There is a problem for sure with the temps I'm getting.

Ok so I downloaded Sentinel freebie and running it now It seems the HDD saved the previous temps, the 1st HDD Max Temp was 136* & the 2nd HDD is showing 129* F It just reached 110* again after 45 minutes and the temp was continuing to increase, so I just shut the computer down and unplugged...

No I was not doing any work using any files on them, they were just sitting idle, continuing to increase in heat to the point that I shut the computer down and unplugged them and put them in front of an air conditioner - they were literally too hot for me to keep my fingers on Is there a way to...

So I just bought a new Asus X8 Airmesh router and have some unknown devices coming up on my Devices List under the Network Map tab. I know the device "Space" is my computer Device 6E is the Asus router itself - I was able to determine this by enabling/disabling it and testing ip.me I thought...

So I just got a couple of new WD Black 10TB HDD I've already transferred all of my data to them a couple of days ago & noticed they were super hot, so I unplugged them as I had to wipe an old HDD anyways. But I plugged them in yesterday and was monitoring them the last 24 hours, and for some...

Oh wait, I re-read this So I think Rsync is what I'm looking for Both of these HDDs are able to always stay connected to my main computer, I have no real need for a separate NAS somewhere else in the house. So doing simpler, automated regular backups of the main HDD through something like...

Whoops I guess I have 2 threads going for this basically Mods you can lock & delete this one if you want since the other thread has more info in it.
