MOVED: New Z68A-GD80 owner - few questions

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155301.0

With an OC and core voltage like that it is not inconceivable to end up with that temp in the BIOS although it may seem a bit high.
There are absolutely no power saving features whilst in the BIOS. Go into the OS and use Real temp and/or core temp to see what is refelected. And don't be too optimistic about the H100.
I tested the H70 on a 2600K and was less than impressed. The cooling performance is on par with a high end air cooler.
Do some tests in the OS first and report on your findings. Use Prime 95 to see where the temps end under load.
Seeing that this is a highly overclocked system related question, this topic is moved to the appropriate section.

  • My New Curve 8330! (few questions from a noob!)

    So I finally got the Curve 8330 - I had been waiting all this time for the Thunder but decided yesterday that if my fingers are too fat for an iPhone, then they will be for the Thunder as well. Anyways, I LOVE the Curve thus far...just a few questions.
    #1) Do the "messages" and "[email protected]" icon serve the same purpose? If so, which I think they do, how do I filter the "messages" icon so that ONLY my incoming SMS messages are shown??? As of now, the "messages" icon is cluttered with e-mail, SMS, bb mesanger & voicemail! I HATE THAT! I'd rather keep it clean and organized so that If i wanna view my SMS messages, I click on "messages" If I wanna view my bb messanger messages, I click on the bb messanger icon, If i wanna see my e-mails, I click on the "[email protected]" icon and so forth. Is there a way to filter it this way???
    #2) When I send an e-mail, I automatically get THAT e-mail sent back to me! How do I disable this function? I have no need to recieve in my INBOX the e-mail I just sent out.... I tried going into "Messages->options" and turning the "hide sent" to "ON" but this problem still occurs...... Any help on that?
    #3) I have this stupid "Facebook" icon in my menu, how do I delete this permanently?
    Thanks everyone, I'm sure i'll have more questions as I'm readin through! 

    Yes, when you go into your messages and hit the menu key and select options and general options. Email and sms messages should be set to separate. Hit the back key to the right of your trackball to save. If you do not see an icon now just for sms and mms, do a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot does the icon appear now?

  • New Awesome setup, a few questions.

    Hello everyone.
    Been tinkering away all day on a new lightweight setup using the Awesome WM. I like it a lot, but I have a few simple questions. I've tried searching the forums and the wiki to no avail. Hopefully it isn't because I wasn't looking hard enough!
    1.) Background: I've got the background set using nitrogen, I like the tool! But it doesn't stay set on reboot. I'm sure this one is easy, but I can't figure it out. Also, I have to run the tool from a terminal in the directory with the wallpapers. Is there a way to set the default directory it looks for wallpapers at? Does it have one already that I just don't know?
    2.) Firefox: It runs well, but there are some UGLIES to sort out. I'm sure GTK2 theme is one of them. The text in the browser looks fine, but the top bar with the tabs and menus has a really ugly font. Any suggested gtk2 themes for the awesome wm? Any good apps for changing them or any good packages with a lot to choose from?
    3.) Launcher: is there a way to put "quick launch" style icons on the awesome menu bar?
    Sorry if these questions are bone head, I've been slamming my head all day agains the configuration of vim and urxvt and I just don't want to give up. Those things are beasts. I actually ended up ditching urxvt for the xfce terminal and i'm really happy with it.
    Any good suggestions for VIM themes?
    Just looking to take a break and process some of this stuff before diving back into the config files really. Sorry the questions are a bit scattered, maybe I should have posted this in the newbie corner...feel free to move it!
    Thanks!!

    Cool, got the nitrogen thing worked out just fine.
    I'm having troubles making vim look right in the terminal. The default color scheme seems to appear correctly...but when I do desert it doesn't look like it does in gvim. I'd prefer to use vim in the console, anyone using the xfce terminal and have vim looking right? any .Xdefaults I could take a look at to get it going right?
    I appreciate the feed back!

  • New Droid X Owner with questions

    I was able to upgrade early, so I dumped the Storm and got the Droid X on Saturday.  Honestly, I wasn't very happy at first, and I'm still not 100% satisfied, but it's getting much better.  Although the Storm was frustrating, there were a few things I really liked, and missed not having on the X.  One thing was the ability to simply tap the screen to "wake up" the phone.  With the X, it's a bit troublesome to press a hard key, then have to slide to open.  Is there some way to "wake up" the X with just a tap, or at least get rid of the "slide to open" thing?    I heard Launcher Pro might do that, but I cannot open that app (nor the other one that was recommended).
    Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens.  Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
    On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close".  Otherwise, they would keep running in the background.  On the X, I've been using the "Back" key.  Does this 'close" the application or browser?
    Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary?  On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full. 
    What are some good productivity apps?
    What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
    I have corporate email and calendar on the X, but I can't get my corporate calendar to sync with my personal calendar.  I have to check two calendars.  Is there any way to have business appts and personal appts show on one calendar?
    Some other issues I'm having:
    1.  I've had the phone for three days, and it has suddenly powered off and automatically came back on four times.  I'm thinking it was maybe because I was doing too much with it on the first day or two.  It hasn't done it today. 
    2.  Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had.  Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
    Some great things:
    1.  Love the screen size.  It's like having a mini "iPad"
    2.  SWYPE!!!  I thought I would use the Voice to Text more often, but Swype is fantastic.  My boss and co-workers were amazed.  (My boss immediately looked for an app to do this on his iPhone.  He couldn't find one.)
    3.  Caller ID as 'ringtone'.  I didn't know it was set for this, so imagine my surprise when I heard this computerized, feminine voice saying "Phone call from RB". 
    4.  The speed!  Downloading and installing apps on the Storm would take several minutes (if at all).  Now, it takes only seconds!  Webpages load fast and clear!
    5.  A camera that actually works when I press the button!
    Sorry for all the questions y'all, but I haven't been able to find any answers in my online searches.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can use NoLock, it does well to disable lockscreen on device wakeup but usually wont bypass lock screen  at startup.  The wake up by screen touch is a bad ideal anyway, if in pocket what would stop accidental program run and accidental calls.
    LauncherPro does not bypass the lock screen in any way but it is a nice screen replacement.
    If LauncherPro does not run I suggest a restart of device, it should auto run after restart.
    Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens.  Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
    LauncherPro gives you the option to disable scrolling wallpaper, but also you will have to modify the image to the screen size to make sure image is center the way you want it.
    On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close".  Otherwise, they would keep running in the background.  On the X, I've been using the "Back" key.  Does this 'close" the application or browser?
    Download Advance Task Manager...   Make sure to exclude OS files from auto close and set to close on sleep state.
    Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary?  On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full. 
    If the application supports saving to SD there will be a option under Setting > Application > Manage Applications ? App Name..
    What are some good productivity apps?
    I don't think this can be a easy question this question because there is so many helpful apps but each on ia a user preference.
    What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
    I'm not using 6 pages but here some examples of my test unit ....

    Messaging > Corp Email Account Name > Left Menu Button > Email Settings > Email Delivery > Check Data Push
    Some other issues I'm having:

    Sounds like you have a incompatible app maybe and is getting a force closed situation that is making device restart...  Check all your apps by uninstalling them one by one and see if issue resolves itself, you may want to watch the habit of installing to many apps... The more apps you have, means the better chance on incompatiblites.
    2.  Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had.  Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
    Battery life on a smart-phone will always be different than a BB because the device is a more powerful device,  its like comparing a pda to a desktop...  Task Killer and setting email to not to have all accounts to instant push because that requires the device to waste a large amount of power retrieving email and staying connected to web.

  • New G4 133ghz Owner - newbie questions?

    Hi,
    A kind friend of mine has given me a Powerbook G4 17" 133Ghz.
    I have been a PC user through and through and do a lot of photography using Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.
    Now that I have this Mac I am just wondering whether it will be worth upgrading the RAM (currently 512Mb) and using it for all of my photography over my 2 year old Sony Vaio?
    I appreciate that a lot of you are Mac fans but would be good to get some honest advice.
    Many thanks
    Kind regards
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I was gifted with a circa 2003 "worn out" (original owner's wording) 17" G4 PowerBook 1G with 1G RAM this year and, with a fresh install of Tiger, find it to be very capable as far as the milder apps go. It's probably slow for the pro apps, but yours has a huge speed advantage over mine.
    The biggest limitation I find so far is a 60G had drive; yours is likely larger. My "gift horse" is mostly used as the downstairs reference computer, getting internet from our Airport Extreme upstairs. I bought our first notebook, a MacBook Pro, for travel only six weeks before a friend said he was giving me the PB17. Last week-long car trip we took, both notebooks went along and my wife and I sat side-by-side in the hotel room surfing our web forums--she on gourmet cooking forums with the MBP and me on the Apple Discussions with the PB. Very little difference in surfing.
    My PB17 has a few deficits accrued from a hard life as a road warrior. The main battery will only run about an hour, the trackpad is worn (actually dented in slightly) in a spot from hard use, and the little rubber feet are all off the bottom case. However, with a power adaptor, an external mouse and stick=onrubber bumpers from the hardware store, it soldiers on!
    You did fine. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

  • MOVED: MSI Z68A-GD80(B3) random freeze problems

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149800.0

    There are two things to consider.
    1. The individual CPU speciman you have may just be one that does not allow much in terms of overclocking. This is the part that is the hardest to accept but the fact is that testing has provided the following results.
    Quote
    The results below are based on the range of the CPU turbo multiplier when overclocking.
    Results are representative of 100 D2 CPUs that were binned and tested for stability under load; these results will most likely represent retail CPUs.
    1. Approximately 50% of CPUs can go up to 4.4~4.5 GHz
    2. Approximately 40% of CPUs can go up to 4.6~4.7 GHz
    3. Approximately 10% of CPUs can go up to 4.8~5 GHz (50+ multipliers are about 2% of this group)
    So the luck of the draw is always present, unfortunately 
    2. You are using the IGP. This will affect the overclockability of the CPU to some extent. By how much, I don't know, but on my 1156 socket i3 it had quite a large effect. If you know someone with a low end GPU that you can test with, then disable your IGP and retest to see if the results are any different.
    A couple of things to check. What BIOS version do you have, and if there are any later BIOS' that address this ?
    Reseat your CPU, inspect the CPU pad indentations at the the same time and check for any bent pins on the socket or any foreign matter in between the pins.
    Recheck all your power connectors, especially the CPU power connector for proper seating.

  • Z68A-GD80 new owner questions

    So I got a new Z68A-GD80 and have a Somme questions:
    1. If I install my 4 X GSkill ripjaws (f3-10666cl7q-16gbxh) the board will power on for maybe 2 secs and shutdown and re power on for a other 2 secs and so on. If i go down to 2 Dim not in bank (slot 1 & 2) MB will start but will randomly freeze. If I run on only 1 Dim everything work like a charm.... well so far let knock wood  Any one also got that ?
    2. what is the deal with the 10 leds cpu phases flashing crazy while in windows ?
    3. when I run the live update5 it report I currently have version I.51 for bios and version I.50 on the internet what is up with this ? should I downgrade or m'I a MSI test subject ? lol
    Thanks

  • Adobe to ditch flash for mobile devices! A few questions

    Just read the news. Have a few questions
    1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
    2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
    3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
    4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
    5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
    Flash stays for pc it looks like.
    So it is no longer multiplatform - we will have to code for flash on pc and html5 for mobile devices - is that right or will there be some kind of packager that will export our flash to html5
    Just a few questions

    I don't work for Adobe so my understanding may not be 100% accurate but here we go...
    1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
    Adobe will be concentrating on developing AIR for packaging  apps for mobile devices. AIR is ActionScript based and it does not produce HTML5 apps.
    2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
    HTML5 itself is just a flavour of HTML and therefore Dreamweaver is the Adobe tool for it For Javascript based timeline animation etc, Adobe has Edge http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
    3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
    Adobe has Wallaby http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/ for this - I'm not sure how active the development is lately though. In any case it's impossible to replicate all features of Flash in HTML5.
    4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
    Again HTML5 itself is just a simple set of HTML tags. JavaScript is very similar to ActionScript, as AS is based on JavaScript (ECMAScript). For example HTML5 Canvas drawing API is very similar to AS3 drawing API. Therefore if you know AS, at least you know the basics of JS syntax.
    5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
    If you want it to run on browsers, yes. If you want to convert into apps then AIR does that.

  • Z68A-GD80(G3) Beta BIOS Versions For Ivy CPU's (Review)

    Since the release of the original vJ0 Ivy UEFI/BIOS update package, are there any Beta's currently available? Also, if there are any, do they flash both chips as the vJ0 update did or just the primary chip?

    UEFI/BIOS Beta update went without a hitch on the Z68 that has the Ivy in it. The v1.24h flash tool worked perfectly. This Beta version turns the Z68A-GD80(G3)'s into an OC monster with a Sandy or Ivy CPU!
    Without much trouble, had the 3770k at 47X on Auto CPU V. and all power saving features operational and intact, plus the new Corsair Platinum's running two 8GB 2133 kits (not recommended to mix kits) for a total of 16GB's @ 2400 on only 1.632v's. Capable of more CPU speed, but the Ivy's get too darn hot even running a low voltage IMO at full load (85C), and I actually experienced a slight performance loss in 7-Zip at the 47X level. IBT showed less than 2 GFlops gain between 46X and 47X.
    Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133's running at 2400;
    7-Zip 46X VS 47X. 46X and RAM speed 2200 with tight timings (CR 1, 9 10 10 24, tRFC 88), 47X and RAM speed 2400 with relaxed timings.
    Load transition towards 100% and post full load;
    Didn't intend to turn this thread into a review, but so impressed with this particular Beta, had to share what I found.
    This thread may be commandeered by an admin or mod for future use for new Z68A-GD80(G3) Beta's.
    Thanks again Svet for providing this Beta. It is a winner!

  • New iMac owner, but a few questions!

    Hey all, just got a Brand New iMac yesterday, first Mac computer owned and loving it so far, but I have a few questions.
    iChat: I have my AIM name on there, but whenever someone sends me a message, a very small box pops up asking if I want to accept or decline, even if I have them in my buddy list. Any way to turn that off? I looked through the settings, couldn't find anything.
    iTunes: Is there anyway to fully close out of iTunes? Whenever I X out of it, the music still plays, and it seems as though iTunes is still open until I hit the Command+Q. Then when I re-open it, it leaves off where it was. What I am wondering is if you are able to completely close out of it with Xing it out.
    Preview: If I open a photo, it automatically opens with Preview, when I X out of it, Preview is still in the Dock until I right click and click "close." Anyway to get around that as well?
    Also, what Application would you recommend for a College student typing term papers and whatnot? And are there Applications to download for free? Like....I cant think of an example.
    I'm sorry for all the questions, but I've been a Windows user all my life, just trying to get used to the iMac.

    Hi GeneticFusion: Welcome ot the world of Mac. I could tell by your description that you are an Ex-Windows user. You are on the right track with the Command Q idea. This is the proper way to completly close a program. You could also go to the name of the open program, click and select "Quit <Program>. As to a program to use to type term papers, check out NeoOffice. It is free, and available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php

  • Brothers a new Zen Micro owner. He has a few battery questions..

    Hey all,
    I convinced my older bro to get a white Zen Micro, and he has a few questions. I answered most of them, but afterwards, he went online, and found info that told him otherwise (from what I told him, which is what I read here at the forums). Here are his questions....
    . Is it safe to leave the Zen Micro charging overnight?
    I told him yes, that it was. Someone from Creative here at the forums said that it would "turn off" automatically. He went into the Creative "Knowledge Base", and found this: http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=732,E=00000000000490764,K=5277,Sxi=0,Kb=ww_eng lish,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com/,Case=obj(669),Kb=ww_english
    2. When charging the Micro, does the adapter/charger go by a set timer, or charge accordingly to how full the battery already is?
    Thanx in advance .

    i've left mine plugged in a few times and have NEVER noticed any type of heat build up. it usually shuts off after full charging and then cools down after that. maybe i'm killing my battery, maybe not who knows. i have some players that don't automatically shut off and i've noticed those DO get heat build up and i never leave those plugged in but with my zen xtra and micro it *appears* that the shut off feature prevents the heat buildup....that being said, the micro's owners manual says DON'T leave it plugged in or it will get heat buildup....who knows.

  • New Macbook Pro owner, just a few questions?

    I just bought my Macbook pro around a month ago, I just had a few questions since this is my first Apple computer.
    1. My screen often gets smuges on it, any suggestions on what to use to clean the screen without damaging?
    2. I have a PC that I rarely ever turned off, anyone know whether or not it would be more beneficial to shut down the laptop everynight or keep it running?
    3. Do you suggest keeping up with all of the software updates that become available?
    4. Can I watch DVDs and Blu-ray movies on this laptop? are they able to be saved?
    5. Any other tips / suggestions would be great! Like I've said, this is my first apple computer, after a month I am still trying to get used to it.
    Thanks!

    1. In MacBook: Care, Use, and Safety Information, Apple says:
    Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
    That's what I do. Microfiber cloths are so effective at removing fingerprints and grime that they can sometimes do it without water, but a little water helps microfiber cloths a lot. Because of the way microfiber cloths work, chemicals are rarely needed. Apple warns against using "aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives" because your screen has coatings that can be scratched or eaten away by the wrong chemicals. iKlear products are safe, but they cost significantly more than cloths and water.
    2. I am also one of the many Mac users who rarely shut down or reboot their MacBook Pro. My friends and I routinely go weeks without rebooting, we just close the lid at night and it sleeps. This is great because it allows the Mac to be instant-on: open the lid and all your open apps and documents are where you left them, with zero startup time.
    Part of the reason for being able to run for long periods of time is that OS X is based on Unix, which was originally written as an operating system for servers, which require stability during 24/7 operation and long uptimes between reboots.
    3. It is best to keep up with all security updates that become available, since they are about security. After that, you can install other available updates whenever you want. If you don't want to be updating all the time just wait until you want to click the Update button, like maybe updating only on the weekends if you want.
    4. If your MacBook Pro has an internal optical drive it will play DVDs. No Macs play Blu-ray Discs unless they have an extra cost drive and third-party software. You can rip DVDs using software like Mac DVDRipper Pro; I use that and then I run them through HandBrake (popular on Mac and Windows) to convert for my phone, tablet, and Plex for my TV.
    5. In general Macs don't need a lot of maintenance because many maintenance routines that used to be manual have been built into the normal operation of the system.
