After market chipset cooler for NEO (PLAT)

o as im typing this im runing 44c CPU and 45c chipset dose any ond else have this prob one this borad and i dont what to wast money if the chipset cooler dont clear my 9800 card and HSF and ive got a Artec cooling After market cooler so it is realy close to the chipset cooler... so has anyone put an after market HSF on there chipset

I just posted this in the other Northbridge fan thread but I'll post it again:
Well I just recently built a new pc with an MSI K8N Neo Platinum and have been browsing these forums for awhile... I've also been looking into actively cooling the NB because from previous experience with my Xbox, Nvidia NB's run fairly hot... I was thinking about getting one of those Vantec coolers but I dont really like the hole thing where the fan is built into the heatsink (personally I don't think it is very efficient)... So I was trying to find some other ways to cool the chip and found that any 40mm fan will fit on the heatsink, but the stock gold heatsink was too tall and if I put a fan on it would interfere with my Radeon 9800Pro with an Arctic Silencer cooler... So I came across this:
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=291975&pfp=srch1
The heatsink is shorter plus it comes with a 40mm fan so I think it would fit perfectly on the NB (I have one of these chipset coolers in my Xbox and am very pleased with it)... I think that combined with some Arctic Silver 5 will definately perform a lot better than the stock gold POS... I will be picking one of these up shortly at CompUSA and will let all you guys know how it goes along with some pictures... Hope this helps...
Here are some pics of the kit and of it placed on the NB in my Xbox:
As you can see the heatsink that comes with it is indeed a little shorter and should help those of you with larger video cards that have problems fitting an NB cooler... I also have an arctic silencer on my vid card and I'm almost 100% sure this would fit as I was able to fit my finger inbetween the card and the NB heatsink and the fan is about the same width as my finger...

Northbridge cooler for Neo Plat (ver 1)

Freaking MSI has put Northbridge too close to AGP port. My Leadtek 5900U is too thick and I am very limited with the choice of active coolers for northbridge. I use vantec iceberg (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-110-103&depa=0) but it bearly fits under the video card and the air flow is not the best there.
Does anyone have other solutions?

Also, when I took Vantec off to send my mobo RMA, I found out that the vantec would only (seemly) touch the sides of the chip like an issue here:

Best after market effects generators for text and graphics?

Someone posted a link of many different companies that have after market effects you can download to FCE. Does anyone have that link AND what after market programs do you recommend?
All i have is LiveType that came with Final Cut Express, I need to amp up my graphics/text and motion.
I have looked into some BORIS FX but I dont know which is the best?
Can anyone help answer this question based on the information I have given.
(I need Better Graphic/Text Generators, for like lower 3rds etc...)

define 'better' ...
imho, LiveType offers an exhausting variety of options, for sure you're not limited by 'ready-mades', you can create your very own ones.. your creativity is the limit
plus, LT and/or FC/e allow usage of Photoshop-layers.
simple ex, create a title in PS/elements (=for video, no need for the Big CS-suite), create a 2nd layer with the shadow => in FC/e you can 'animate'/keyframe the shadow and the title independently, e.g. the shadow 'follows' with a little delay the in-flighing text..
many professional lower 3rds are a combo of 'static' grafic plus animation - so, you can 're-enact' this with *two tracks* of grafic + LT titleing.

Does anyone recommend an after market car stereo for use with iOS?

I'm looking to replace my existing car stereo and would like to know if anyone has had any luck with after market?

Hey,
No Firewalls running no.. Well no software ones, just the hardware one in the DM602.
Incidentally I managed to find another DM602 user who said to me that the Modem / Router in 'Modem Only' mode works fine.. just using the Airport Express/Extreme set up as the router.
Will have to wait and see once I have bought the Airport Express as Modem Only mode without another Router caused me all kinds of confusion and left me unable to connect to the net or even to the Modem/Router directly when I was fiddling around with it.
But yeah, I agree that it's odd that Mac make everything else BUT the modem to connect to an ADSL line.. and then recommend rubbish 3rd party hardware that wont allow it's customers to use it's own well designed software..
Bit annoying.. you try and be a good Mac disciple and model consumer - Mac all the way, and still run into grief..

Is there an after market Thunderbolt adaptor for an open PCI slot?

I would like to use thunderbolt external hard drives with my 2 year old Mac Tower. Is there a thunderbolt PCI expansion card I can install for the newer drives (which seems to be doing away with firewire)? Or if worst case a USB 3 PCI expansion card?
Thank you

There's no thunderbolt PCI-e interface cards are available. If you need to use Thunderbolt interface devices, you need to get newer Macs which have Thunderbolt ports.
I've been using Sonnet Allegro USB3.0 4 ports card with Mac Pro 2009 and it works OK.

Which Thermalright chipset cooler for X58 Pro?

I'm looking to replace the terrible stock IOH heatsink for a Thermalright one but I don't want to impede the placement of graphics cards. Should I go with the Thermalright HR-05 IFX or the HR-05-SLI IFX? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

Are you getting sloppy Aaron? 90o is the lowest in melting range of solder and is not commonly used. Alloys that melt between 180 and 190 °C (360 and 370 °F) are the most commonly used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder
Sloppy, no. Behind, yes. I don't expect myself to know this stuff... the last time I soldered something was 6-7 years ago. I wasn't aware there was variations in solder's melting point. The only solder I've ever used melted at 90c.
I give myself kudos for even remembering the temperature.

Chipset cooling

Has anyone found a good chipset cooler for the K7N2 Delta L? I have found a few that look pretty good but dont know about compatibility. I like the swiftech and the thermalright models but dont know if they will fit on the mobo. Thanks.

I'm with Deathstalker Iceburg is great i use it in all my PC's an Vantec has never let me down

After-market charging cable troubles.

I recently purchased an after-market charging cable for an older generation ipod touch. It charges just fine, but iTunes wont seem to recognize the fact that my ipod is linked to the computer...So, my question is does anyone know why this might be happening. I recently reset my ipod touch and need to connect it to itunes to be able to use it. A quick response would be very much appreciated.

make sure the ipod service is started in

Better?? Stock chipset cooler or Vantec IceBerg on Neo 2 Plat

In your experience as I am hoping not to have to remove my mobo to try this and find out my stock msi chipset cooler cools better than my vantec iceberg.
What do you ppl think is a better cooler??

Yeah I know it will fit and is just marginally larger. I test fitted it when I first got the mobo from newegg. And its not like its alot of trouble getting the mobo out of the case. I am just lazy. All I do all day long is work on other ppls computers. I kinda like just coming home and having a computer that works. But lately my computer room has been getting warmer and if I restart my computer I will get bsod's in x64 v1433 with error "Page fault in non paged area" And I go into bios and the chipset temp is 42'C To me that is just way to hot. I have pleny of cooling inside the case and ie; 6 80mm fans and a Arctic Cooling freezer 64 on the 3200+. But I am wondering if maybe it is due to memory overheating.
I did just take my memory down from 2.85v to 2.55 and it works just fine. So maybe that is my trick.
Also I did remove the stock hs and put some as5 under it and that lowered my temps by about 2'C

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

Just bought SATA2 250GB WD HD for MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).

I just bought a SATA2 250GB Western Digital HD for my MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).
I'm currenlty using the 1.7 BIOS.
I've always used IDE up to this point.
I haven't yet installed my new drive but I'm a little nervous.
Are there any gotchas waiting for me?
What I want to do is copy my partitions from my old IDE HD to my new SATA2 HD.
Something tells me that this is not going to go so smoothly - don't ask me why, it's gut feeling
I predict BSOD when I try to boot from my new HD.
Any advice from people who have done this using the MSI Neo Platinum 1 ?
Can you have both IDE and SATA drives connected at the same time so that I can do a partition copy?
I think that MSI Neo Plat 1 is only rated do SATA1 so I'm not sure how it'll behave with my SATA2 drive
I'm a pessimist by nature, however, my "gut" instints are normally correct

I don´t have the same MoBo as you, so there might be some differences which I´m not aware of, but basically you could install the Sata drive as new bootdrive with OS and keep the old Pata HDD as backup drive.
The Sata installation (not raid) is just like a Pata installation except for other cables and MoBo connectors/IF.
To avoid confusion, disconnect the power from the old HDD and just keep the new Sata drive as the only drive while formatting / installation OS.
You will only benefit native Sata1 performance, but that almost the same as Sata2 so no big deal ( only the theoretically performance is twice as good ).
I don´t think there´s no need to change any backward Sata1-2 jumpers on the WD drive, but if I´m wrong there should be such a jumper that limits the performance to Sata1 - You could check at WD website.
After you´ve reconnected the old HDD - Go into bios ( probably "Advanced" menu ) and set " HDD Boot drive" order ( or called simular ), check and set WD as bootdrive.( don´t mix up HDD boot order with the general Floppy/CD/HDD bootorder).
Now you still have all your files intact on the old HDD and if you want to, you could ofcourse transfer them to the new drive as well.
( You will need to reinstall some programs on the new HDD, that does not work anylonger on the old HDD, but all files are intact)

Cant load networking driver for neo 2 plat

1. Put your Windows CD in the drive.
2. Select Install Windows.
3. Let install continue.
4. After the first restart, you will see something about Recovery Console. Do NOT select this option. Just let setup continue.
5. You will soon see a message "searching for existing Windows installation".
6. Soon after, you will be given the option to REPAIR that installation or make a new installation.
7. Select REPAIR.
8. Just keep going.
That's it. Hopefully things will be just fine after the repair is done.

Xp-120 on msi neo plat (754) with arctic rev3 agp cooler

I want to put a thermalright xp-120 on my msi neo plat s754 board. looking at some pics, the heatpipes seem very close to the agp slot.
I have an arctic cooling rev3 cooler on my connect3d 9800pro, and I'm not sure if there is enough clearance between the heatpipe and the bracket on the side of the AGP card.
anyone else got this setup working ?
thanks

Please elaborate a bit more on the results.. what were the actual temperature difference? what was the noise difference? did you o/c? etc etc etc...
The results you posted there mean totally nothing since you don't state on what grounds you placed them on those places.

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.
