Is there a way to make your g4 powermac cooler

is there a way to make your g4 powermac run cooler the processors run very hot

The Vantec is thermally controlled.
So is the OEM.
Both are variable speed, with the OEM maxing at 23.5 CFM.
The Vantec maxes at 24.2 CFM.
Stepping of the Vantec fan is much better than the OEM.
Smoother, and I think faster, sooner.
Trouble with the OEM is the noise at full speed.
Though "advertised" dB ratings are the essentially the same at full speed, I find the Vantec to be far quieter than the OEM.
Before I changed my PSU fan in my DP 1.0 GHz QS, I could hear the din of the OEM CPU fan (full speed) even with the PSU fan roaring away.
Changed both and the machine is civilized.
The Vantec is quieter than OEM.
The Verax fan that I replaced the PSU fan with also helped immensly.
Connecting the Vantec to a molex to a 3 or 4 pin adapter works fine.
So does using a 2 pin approach using the 12v and common to the logic board connector where the OEM connects.
The RPM detector wire is not needed and can be cut off or ignored.
The voltage ratings of the two fans are so close that no adverse effects will occur connected to the logic board.
I try fans with adapter cabling. If I like them, wherever possible, I scavenge and solder OEM connectors to the new fans and use the G4 OEM connections.

  • Is there a way to make your own Invisible Shield?

    I thought I remember reading that you could by the same kind of plastic coating at art or hardware stores... and make your own, which would be cheaper.
    Does anyone remember this? Or am I imagining it...
    thanks!

  • Is there any way to make your iPad 2 into an ipad 2 3g?

    I recently bought an iPad 2 iCloud and realized it does not have 3G. Is there any way to upgrade to 3G with my current iPad2? Like, a software update, maybe? Please help...
    Thank you.

    You can't update a wifi-only iPad to have 3G, it doesn't have the necessary hardware within it. If you are within the returns period for wherever you bought it from then you could take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version. Otherwise you can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for it, or you can get mifi devices which take sim cards and act as mobile hotspots for computers and devices.

  • Is there any way to make my iPad look COOL again?

    I absolutely HATE the new look forced on me by updating to IOS 7.  Is there any way to get back the cooler, more stylish, more grownup look of IOS 6?  Used to be, when I picked up my iPad and hit the home button, I was happy.  Now, it just stresses me out.  : (  I just went into the calendar for the first time since updating.  HATE it.  Every day, I find something else visually that makes me not want to use my iPad anymore.

    There is no going back. You can search the App Store for appropriate apps that may look better to you. Personally, I have had no problems with how things look.

  • Is there a way to make your ipad audio go through your computer

    So today, i got the Novation launchpad App, I would like to play the sound, through my PC's(Windows 8.1). So i could hear it through there since i do not have a pair of Ear Buds. Who knew dogs love them. Is there an app i could get?

    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • Is there any way to make your time line layers different colors ?

    Scrolling up & own the time line panel is a bit of a pain trying to find certain objects on the time line.i learn about doing th option click o why ever key it is that allows you to select the item on your stage which highlights the object on your time line. Yet if you could color the layer it would be a good system so you would know fom just looking at the oolong of the layer what is what.

    Naming layers is vital.  Layer management is important.  But no, you can't color code layers.  It'd be nice.  In the "Motion" menu (left of the File menu) inside the app, there's a chose to go to the feedback page.  Tell the dev team you want it.

  • Trying to make a purchase form the apple store and I keep being asked to answer my security questions. I don't remember what the answers are. Is there a way to reset your security questions or get the answers to the current ones?

    I have been trying to make a purchase from the apple store and I keep being asked to answer my security questions. I don't remember what my answers are. Is there a way to reset your questions or find out the answers to your old ones?

    Yes, go to the AppleID FAQ for how to reset the questions.

  • I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

  • Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
    I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
    Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
    Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
    I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
    ^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
    Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

    Thanks for the tip,
    I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
    I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
    I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!

  • Is there a way to make itunes autostart with windows in mini mode

    Is there a way to make itunes autostart with windows in mini mode i.e the taskbar player mode where it is most less obstrusive . itune takes a lot of time to start under windows

    Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes.  Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

  • Is there a way to make a number of cells add to a certain number. I need 5 or 6 cells to add to 1700. If one of the cells becomes 0, I need the other cells to change so the bottom number stays at 1700.

    is there a way to make a number of cells add to a certain number. I need 5 or 6 cells to add to 1700. If one of the cells becomes 0, I need the other cells to change so the bottom number stays at 1700.

    Okay then. If your seven numbers are in column B then the formula next to each number in column C would be
    =IF(B=0,0,1700/COUNTIF(B,">0"))
    This assumes all non-zero numbers are positive numbers. The sum will be 1700.

  • Hello,is there a way to make a word processing document in pages with 1" margins because at the top of page it has more than 1", and can the box at the top be deleted

    hello, is there a way to make a word processing document in pages with !" inch margins? i ask this because there is a box where you can write text and the you start your document, but it takes more than 1 inch from the top, can that box be removed? and why whatever you write in the box appears in every page of the paper? is there a way to avoid this? sorry I do not use computers very often and i just want to write an essay for my english clss, thanks for your help.

    The box is called Headers and is used for thing that will be repeated on several pages like page numbering and names etc.. You can uncheck it in the Inspector > Document tab

  • Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
    Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
    I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
    Hope I'm making sense...

  • Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page   lines?

    With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

    A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
    1
    check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit

    in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
    then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.
