Help! Problems with 845E MAX HSF seating

 have a MSI 845E MAX and a P4 2.8 GHz cpu. I bought a coolmaster L71 for 478 socket type but when I put it on the cpu, the four little plastic white pins that hold the HSF mounting tray in place prevents the HSF from actually connecting with the CPU unless I use a load on paste (which is wrong)
If I take out the pins the HSF sits on the CPU fine but surley this cannot be correct? Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas why?
I have also tried a mates P4 S478 HSF and it does the same, the four pins seem to stop it touching the cpu correctly.

What's up? I got your Email - I don't know about cutting those pins off. Man, that really sucks those heatsinks aren't fitting correctly. What would be wrong with getting a stock Intel fan/heatsink? They are really cheap. I saw one for $7 shipped. Or get the f/h I have. It's a Coolermaster D14-7H53D. However, if you want to try and cut those pins go ahead because you can always buy a new bracket if it doesn't work. Let me know what happens. Good luck.
Man, you can't say (s)ucks in this forum.

  • Problem with Stock A64 HSF and MSI K8N FSR

    Hey guys I was wonderinf if anyone could help me with this little problem.
    My stock A64 2800+ (newcastle) hsf no longer spins higher than 3500rpm anymore. I first bought my system about 3 months ago and paired it with the msi k8n fsr board. Everything was working fine and under heavy load playing games the hsf would spin to a loud (but effective) 5500rpm max (as measured by speedfan).
    About a month ago I managed to kill my k8n board and got a replacement one. Now after setting everything back up, my hsf no longer spins any faster than 3500rpm, regardless if i turn my fan up to 100% in speedfan or run games for hours.
    Anyone have a clue?
    My specs:
    A64 2800+ @ 2.16Ghz (newcastle core)
    MSI K8N FSR
    1 Gig DDR3200 (generic)
    Leadtek Geforce 6600GT

    this may sound weird but sometimes i like to return my bios to version 1.3 or below... i want to hear my cpu fan roar! eventhough the reading is high with the old bios, atleast now i'm sure that my CPU is cool... cooler if my CPU fan is on high speed.
    hope msi can make a bios update where the user can manually adjust the fan speed to its max... (its true max speed) unlike right now which the max speed only reaches 3000 rpm but its capable of running 5500 rpm.
    pray... pray... pray... Lord please have MSI hear my prayers.

  • Need MAJOR HELP recovering an 845E-Max board (no post)

    Hey guys and gals, I need some SERIOUS SERIOUS help here recovering my old board. I have an MSI 845E-MAX board, and decided to do some overclocking to it. While doing it, I raised the FSB too much, and now the system wont post. So I know what your all thinking, ok, take out your CMOS battery, or clear the JBAT1 jumpers. While ive done that, repeatedly, to no avail. Ive cleared the jumpers over and over, nothing. Taken the battery out for a 24hr period, nothing. Took the battery out for nearly a MONTH!, and nothing. Next your probally thinking, while maybe its bad RAM, Vid Card, CPU, etc. While it isnt lol Ive replaced/tested all the current hardware in other systems and they all work fine. Ive got a defenet mobo problem, and its really pissing me off lol on other boards by other manufacturers, if I put my FSB to high and it didnt post, restarting would put it into default specs, so I could adjust my fsb as needed. With this 845E though, its no such luck, and reseting the CMOS dosent do anything to fix it. Ive also read some posts about other boards who dont even have a JBAT1 jumper, and used an "insert" key method, where they power down, hold down the insert key, and boot up. Decided to try this, and it did nothing. I didnt think it was made for my board in the first place, but decided to give it a shot. IVe also tried reflashing/recovering the bios, by downloading the newest bios (its an AMI i believe) renaming it, putting it to a floppy, and booting the system holding CTRL+HOME to force the update. but it does nothing, and dosent even seem to read the floppy as the little green light dosent come on when i power up. The DVD/CD drive does though, and wehn i place WIN XP SP2 in the drive, it reads it and green light stays solid, so its just the floppy drive im having probs with I guess. Also, i get no beeps at startup, but can hear the hard drive boot and spin. I list my hardware specs below to help
    So PLEASE, some MSI guru, help me before I go crazy here! :P thanx a million to any one who can lend a hand.

    *this is a spare system im building, but the board WAS my primary board till I upgraded, so im use to its settings, just no OC'ing it apparently lol*

    I do indeed...and yah i get no beeps at all....
    but everything powers up fine...hdd spins...cd rom turns on, if i put in a Nic card, the green light comes when a cat5 cable is in it. So it looks like everything is receing power fine, but i just get no beeps at all to signify start up

  • HELP/Problems with pull-down navigator bar

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if I could get some input. I have just
    re-designed our magazine's site, www.easternsurf.com
    I used Pop-Up menu function in Fireworks 8 to generate our
    Navigator bar. For the most part everything has been working well,
    BUT we've had a couple of complaints that the navigator bar's
    pull-down menus get stuck behind the photos/banner ads/etc. instead
    of in front of them when viewing in Internet Explorer. I'm on the
    Mac platform (OSX Tiger/Macromedia Studio 8) and have seen no
    problems viewing in Safari, Firefox and Netscape. The only
    complaints have come from Internet Explorer users. A couple of
    people updated their browser to the newest version and the problem
    disappeared, however we've still had a couple of people that have
    written in that the newest version of IE is still not displaying
    properly.
    Also we've got a strip of button ads running down the left
    hand side of each page and I've also seen another issue that's
    common on sites of this type...when the pulldown menu overlaps with
    a Flash element, there is a problem with the screen re-draw. I've
    seen this on several other sites and know it's a common problem,
    but does anyone know of a workaround where this won't happen? I
    just noticed that signing on to Adobe's site, there almost seems to
    be a command where the menu keeps re-drawing at a very rapid rate
    so this won't happen.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated, although I'm Mac all
    the way, we are a business and have to get this site visible for
    everyone!
    Thanks

  • Help - problem with white iphone 4 speaker

    Hi, i have a problem with my white iphone 4 speaker. I know the specs stated that the mic is supposed to be on the left and the right is the speaker but i've compared at least 2 other black iphones 4s and there is some volume from the left side (if you close the right side) whereas mine is practically non-existent. Should i be concerned? Is this specific to the white iphone 4? The local telco has not been helpful - they can only reformat the phone and said that this is a software problem. Anyone with similar experience pls share. Thanks in advance.

    You already know the answer.  ALL iphones, every single one of them, have but one speaker at the bottom.  You have NO ISSUE at all with your speakers.  None.  Nothing is wrong.  At all.  No problem.  None.

  • Problems with Mpower Max Z87

    Since yesterday i have the following problem with my pc.
    i'm using a gigabyte gtx780 windforce 3x oc als peg and for now its not working anymore. if i am turning on the computer only the fans are working and video display is only possible through the igd, even when its deactivated in bios. all other components seem to work normal, but led debug code ist showing 04 which means "power on southbridge initialization".
    so i changed the gtx 780 to my old msi gtx570 twin frozr III and everything seems to work normal for now, but if i am looking into the device manager there's an exclamation mark indicating that the msi mpower max z87 isn't recognized properly and only shown as unknown device.
    so, what does that mean? is there a problem with the psu, mb or the gtx780
    my system specs are:
    Core i7 4770k
    MSI Mpower Max Z87 Bios V.1.2
    Gigabyte Geforce GTX780 Windforce 3x OC
    16 GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz
    Corsair HX850
    Windows 8 Pro x64
    Edit: The exclamation mark problem disappeared after installing the intel smart connect utility.

    Reseat the cpu and check socket for bent pins. If none to be found uninstall current vga driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot with the GTX570 install latest Nvidia driver (no beta!).
    reseated cpu and found some bent pins. rebent them with precision tools, and for now, everything, even the gtx780, seems to work normal. will try some decent oc to check if there are any problems left because of the bent cpu pins.

  • Pleaseeeeeee Help - Problems with position of my web page

    Hi, first sorry on my english
    I have problem with position of my page. I had made my web page in Indesign CS5 and exported to swf file. My web page is working fine (www.igor-flytying.com) but the page is not in the middle of the web browser. How can I fix the problem????? I am a beginer in Indesign. I had try to make some changes in html file (salign) but still nothing.
    Please HELLLLLPPPPPP
    Regards
    Aljosa

    Petteri, SWFObject is much better because it loads the JavaScript so you don't see it inside the HTML page, but it still wraps the swf in a div which by default will be positioned in the upperleft of the browser window.
    This is the only way I've been able to center using SWFObject—note that it's the "flashcontent" div style that does the centering not the align embed parameter:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <title>S W F | Centered</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" />
    <!-- Centers the swf on the page. Note: width and height need to match the swf and margin left and right are -.50%-->
    <style type="text/css">
              #flashcontent {width: 1000px; height: 750px; margin-left: -500px; margin-top: -375px; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%;}
    </style>
              <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
              <script type="text/javascript">
                        var flashvars = {};
                        flashvars.myFlashVar = "Testing";

  • Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

    Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
    HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
    So, what's the problem do you think?
    (Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

    Hi Mate,
    I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
    The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case  (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!
