Passive Computer Processor Cooler: Synology DS3615xs

In order to add more memory to the Synology DS3615xs  high capacity data storage array, I needed to open the system. Following the online directions, I finally was able to open the box — difficult as there were some wires and connections that were tight and hard to get at. I was amazed at the size of the passive cooler on the processor chip. I am assuming the copper pipes have some type of heat conductive fluid to help transfer the heat away from the processor.

Sunday in the Park: Hobler Park in Montgomery Township

The “Sunday in the Park” event with the Montgomery Friends of Open Space was at Hobler Park. It was a clear but cold late autumn morning, with frost on the brush. Images of plants, birds, and an art work installation by Kate Graves.

Indoor Autumn Nature in New Jersey: Mosquito

The only good mosquito is a dead mosquito. I don’t know why I have them inside my house every fall. But I don’t want to be a meal.
