Re: Official Computer Questions Thread
Ok, I'll start...
Why do I get a funny noise that sounds like an air bubble going through my computer's water pump? Is it time to change the antifreeze? |

The coolant recipe is very important, because it has the effect to either maintain a good performance over time, or completely destroy your system. If for example you would be using plain tap water in a water cooling loop, the entire cooling surface of both waterblock and radiator will be covered in oxidation within a week, greatly hindering performance. Tap water will also cause mineral deposits inside the pump overtime, as well as letting fungus and algae grow inside the components. For optimal results, distilled water should be used, which means that it consists purely of H2O. You should then add a minimal quantity of coolant additive, such as RedLine Water Wetter which is sold right here, on directron.com. 2 ounces in a water cooling loop should keep the system free of any unwanted formations for at least 6 months, after which every component should be cleaned with alcohol, and refilled with a new batch of water/additive. |

When answering tech support calls...and the question "Are you using Word?" is answered with "Yes. Words and numbers." Is it appropriate to inform the caller that they are a dumb@$$ or is it better to go with the accidental disconnect? :smack:

I know how it is with the plugged in / turned on and oh by the way is the POWER out - because if it is, NO I can't fix your computer calls. Tis why I changed jobs. Unfortuneately...word of my past "help desk" experience got out and it's now my unofficial job on top of my regular job that is not even remotely IT related, but I still finished my masters in CIS anyway...just in case LOL |
Re: Official Computer Questions Thread
Oh yeah...this wasn't a share your IT frustrations thread was it?

Re: Official Computer Questions Thread
Well... luckily i don't have to do much actual PC tech support anymore.
With this job, i troubleshoot problems that installers have with my company's products... Mainly DigiLinX, a completley IP based Multi-Room entertainment distribution system. |

I always feel like I am about to come through the phone and strangle this dumb*SS when the tech person says, okay now I have a few questions and goes back through exactly what I just told him. |

Don't take it personally...it's just because you're the 50th call for the same thing in the last 5 hours. Also - there are a lot of places where they hire people to work the help desk that can barely turn on a computer. All they're doing is searching a database for your problem and going thru the steps it says to take - they can't go off the cuff because they don't know how to fix any of it... |
Re: Official Computer Questions Thread
Yea thats the only reason I don't go off on the poeple. Most of time they are just following a script and can not or do not have the knowledge to go off of it.
