92mm fan for MEGA PSU..... more pictures.

Looks like to me that the big problem with the MEGA series involves heat. Since the only exhaust fan is the PSU fan, a size change to a 92mm model, would be a big improvement. There seems to be enough room at the rear of the case to mount a 92mm fan externally. You would remove the stock 80mm fan, remove the grills, enlarge the openings slightly, and mount the new fan on the outside....splicing the wires into the old wires that went to the 80mm fan.
I see nothing but inproved airflow with this mod....anybody tried it?

Water cooling for a SFF?
Anybody reading my posts should know I'm using a 92mm fan on my PSU. I tested six different fans for performance at the MEGA PSU default voltage...here are the results.
I gathered up all the 92mm fans I have, and devised a method to test for maximum performance (CFM) at a low voltage (5V). I used a SFF with the 92mm fan alone cooling the PSU and CPU using duct-work.....no other fans running. I then noted the CPU idle temp with each fan. This happens to be the default voltage to the fan, using the PSU PWM fan control. The voltage remained the same during the idle testing. I also tested at max CPU usage......and found the results similar. The best fans at 5V were the best fans at the max.
Checking the rated currrent draw gave mixed results.....the fan that drew the most current, did not give the best performance.
The noise levels were as expected......the best performer (Delta) was the noisiest. The second best (Sunon) sounded the same as the others.
Here's the list of the ones tested.....listed from the worst performance at 5V to the best.
#6 Power Logic #PL92D12M 1.7W
#5 Evercool #EC9225M12BA 1.8W
#4 Young-Lin #DBF902512H 2.8W tie
#3 Top-Motor #DF1209BA 2.1W tie
#2 Sunon #KD1209PTB2 2.4W tie
#1 Delta #AFB0912H 2.5W winner
The Delta beat the others easily......it kept the CPU 2C cooler than the other fans, at a slightly higher noise level. Not much though.
The other five fans sounded similar at five volts....I couldn't tell them apart during a blind test. I could identify the Delta however.
So what good is this sort of test? :lol: .........I'm cooling this SFF using a single 92mm fan, driven by the default votage (5V) of the PSU. I needed slightly more airflow to cool the hard drive better than I was getting.
Using the Delta lowered my HD temp by almost 5C, keeps the CPU Temp low enough that the CPU fan stays off at an idle (28C ambient). The CPU fan only starts up at 50% CPU usage. So by using a more powerful/slightly noiser PSU fan, I have lowered the over-all noise level, and made the whole computer run cooler.
It's a win/win solution.... :D

Different heatsink/fan for MEGA 651?

I'm new here so go easy on me. I did search but found little info. I'm looking for a different/better heatsink for a MEGA 651. I know there is a problem finding a retension clip that fits.....but I found an older socket 7 heatsink that fits/works. It's all-copper with a 60mm fan on top blowing down. But I'd like something better/bigger. I have removed both drive cages, so I have some extra space for a taller heatsink.
Is anyone using a heatsink other than the stock aluminum model?

always read the stickies as your question may have already been answered before
in your case it has, here:

DIY heatsink/fan for MEGA.

Here's some new stuff I'm trying (MEGA 651). An unknown copper based, Alpha look-alike. I drilled four holes in it, to match the MB mount holes(used brass MB stand-offs, in place of the stock mounts). It uses a 15mm thick, 70mm fan, with a custom fan mount. Works good...also cools the NB passive heatsink.
I'm also trying a new HD mount, with side heatsinks, mounted in place of the optical drive. This Samsung runs very cool in this location.....usually about 32C.

Yeah it works well.....I have a stable idle temp of about 41C with this setup. I managed to fit a real Alpha 8942 into my previous 651, and I used an 80mm fan also. That setup does run cooler, and quieter. The 70mm fan with this setup is not the best.....I'm considering a fan change to an 80mm Sanyo Petit Ace.
But the heatsink itself works good...

Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work?

Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work? I have already spent many hours trying to create a photo album but came across more pictures to choose from. However, I don't know how to get these new pictures into the "list" of potential photos for the book in progress. I can't stand the thought of having to start over by selecting the 2000 photos plus these new ones and starting all over again!?!

I have found more pictures that I want to include. They are, say, in a folder on my desktop. I can't simply pull a picture (or the folder) from the desktop and insert it into the album or the list of potential pictures across the top.
to import into an existing book (which is just a special kind of album) simply drag the photos from their source (the desktop in your example) to the book in the source pane on the left (not to the book in the library window but the book icon in the source pane
Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book
I also tried imported the pictures, from the desktop folder, into iphoto, creating new event. I don't think there is a way of accessing that new event from the album in work/progress.
Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book in the source pane on the left
I also tried merging the new "event" into an existing event that I had selected for the album. That doesn't work either???
That is correct - there is no connection between the source of the book and the book - the book stands alone and you add direct to it in the source pane exactly as you would add to any other album

How to get similar color for objects in different pictures

how do you get similar color for objects in different pictures
I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?
I have tried duplicating layers and it just replaces the whole image, it seems to work using levels layers but not the other layers ... I have 30 more images to do and would ideally not like to adjust all the images manually ? I dont mind doing minor tweaks. Essentially all the images where taken with the same camera and lighting and lens's ...
Screen shot is where I'm at at the moment...
I have posted this question else where but was told to repost - this is a link to my previous post as to where we got to

You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green. The sound continues.

I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

Sorry, everyone. I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged. I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup. I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup. Amazing really. I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
Cheers
Marcus
edit : Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine. Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now. I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA. But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid. I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
Again, cheers

Connect iphone to smarttv for watching videos and pictures

Trying to connect iphone to LGsmarttv for watching videos and pictures. We are on the same WIFI, pictures I can see, but no videos .... Do I need apple tv or an app ..

I do not fully understand all of the ins and outs of iCloud either. I use iCloud in very "limited doses". The greatest feature of iCloud - IMO - is that you can download purchased content again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. There are some limitations based on where you live - but in the U.S - all of this is available to you.
I also use iCloud to back up my Pages documents and currently only the Apple iWorks suite of apps, pages, Numbers and Keynote, can make use of this feature of iCloud - As far as I know. The changes that I make on the documents will sync to my iPod Touch and I can download the documents from my iCloud.com account in order to work on them on my Mac. Revise them on the Mac, upload to my account again - and they appear on the iPad and the Touch with revisions in place.
iCloud is still in its infancy, and even if it was "foolproof" or as foolproof as anything can be, I would never count on the cloud only to store my important files. I still backup to iTunes on my Mac and I backup my Mac with Time Machine. The use of iTunes is simply the vehicle through which all of your purchased content can be transferred to your computer for safe keeping. iTunes will store your media, apps and photos - and the backup process using iTunes - provides a way to save your settings, app data, camera roll photos, bookmarks, - in essence - the "stuff" that your apps produce - if that makes sense to you.
Read this to learn more about iCloud. This is covers everything from soup to nuts. The articles contain links to other articles with more information as well. You may even want to peruse the iCloud forum for more information.

How can I put up more pictures besides 3?

I was wondering how I could put more pictures up instead of 3.
I can put as many pictures as I want on the photo's page but it will only let me put 3 in the little box where photos can go.
Here is my website so you can see what I want.
http://web.mac.com/saminman2/iWeb/Site%202/Welcome.html
I know I am sound confusing but all I want to do is to make every picture clickable so you can view them in a larger picture and to view them in a slideshow.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Just drag in some more photos and hover right over where the three photos are right now. You will see a blue outline around all three photos and the cursor will turn into a green "plus" sign. Then drop your photos. The page will automatically expand and the new photos will be imported and thumbnails created.
But the key is to drag your photos OVER the three existing photos and wait for the blue "bounding box" and the green "plus" cursor to appear.

My MacBook Air's storage is full. When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other". I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit. Any advice?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

News Iview insert more picture

Can News Iview allowed to insert more than 1 pictures in portal? Our company's New Iview only allows us to insert ONE pic, but our users do have the need to insert more than just one. Is there any way out? What should I do?

Hi,
Yes, is possible, you must to create your own xml form, with XML Form Builder, in order to include more pictures.
This application is in the portal role "Content Management".
For default, surely you are using SAP demo news, this is a sample form with one picture.

Fan running a lot more

I have a black Macbook with 2.4ghz core 2 duo that I have upgraded to 6gb ram and 640gb hard disk.
Also have upgraded to latest Lion 10.7. A couple of months ago I installed Parallels v7.0 and Windows XP to do some custom database development, i.e. not a lot of graphics. When looking at the Activity Monitor, it is always Parallels sucking most of the processor. For example right now, 55% idle 37% system 8% user. Fan seems to be running about 1/2 speed, CPU core 1 61c, Core 2 63c. I am almost always using a second monitor.
I am now noticing that the fan runs a lot more now than it ever has before. Usually running all the time I have Parallels running, but not at full speed. I also notice more when watching Hulu natively in Safari, that I didn't notice the fan running before. The computer is always on a hard flat surface.
Fortunately, everything runs fine all day long at the office and I don't seem to have any problems overheating. My old Macbook is a little sluggish, but am overall satisfied with the speed. My question is mainly if I am asking for problems long term running like this? Should I consider upgrading to a new model? Is there something that can be cleaned or blown out with air? I struggle with the thought of spending $1,200 for a new laptop with the same clock rate and smaller hard disk and memory. Yes, I know the memory is faster, but will the overall performance be that much better?
Thanks for the opinions.

Im having the same problem as well the fan shuts off for a few then starts right back up i though it was when i ran logic pro that it only did that but now im noticing it happening more often if anyone can help that would be great thanks....
