MSI 6800GT-T2D256E and power problem?

I've got ASUS A8N-Deluxe mobo, Nexus 400W PU and new, bright and shiny MSI 6800GT-T2D256E
And I get the damned:
"The NVIDIA system sentinel is reporting that the nvidia powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power. To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations."
message...
Tried diffrent lines from PU, different drivers, nothing. I get the message right after login.
One funny little thing: there's a sticker on the power cable that came with the card (close to the 2x3 connector) that says:
For use with RADEON X800 series graphics card only.
Could this be the problem or are the pwr cables the same for 6800's and X800's? Card works the same with or without pwr cable.
Looking from the left side of an open case (w cable attced to the card) there are two wires going into the leftmost holes of the 2x3 connector - yellow (top) and black (bottom).
Here're the PSU specs

I have 20pin and 4 pin pwr connectors connected to the mobo.
Any ideas?

Update:
Tried HEC 475W psu - didn't help. Went back to the store, they tested the card and it seemed to run just fine.
So it's not the card nor the power cord problem. Guys at the strore said - get better psu. But I've tried better psu?!
So I threw out everything exept HDD - no luck.
This brings me to another question. I keep noticing peaple talking not just about watts but amps. My Nexus and that
HEC I tested produce 14 and 15 amps respectively.
Sadly in a small country stores don't keep expensive psu's on they shells. So I should order one. I want to be sure before that.
Any comments on the amperage issue?

MSI GS70 Temperature and battery problem?

Hello All,
I just bought my GS70 on 2/9/2014 and I have been noticing some serious fan noises from time to time. I eventually got curious and installed Core Temp. All cores average around 126F (54c). Are these numbers too high? Should I be concerned? What are my options?
I also discovered a problem with my battery yesterday. After shutting down yesterday, I disconnected the power from the computer. This morning I tried to turn the computer on but it was unresponsive. I attempted several times all with the same results. I then saw that my power was disconnected and plugged it back in and it turned on fine. However, Windows display that my battery is at 100 percent.
I grew suspicious that it was an isolated event. To test, I against shut down the computer first, then after it was shut down I disconnected the Power plug on the unit. After couple hours I again try to turn it on and was unable to. I then reconnected the power plug and was able to turn on. Against Windows had my battery at 100 percent. I was wondering if anyone else had this situation.
Any help or advices regrading my questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello,
About the CPU temp is normal
About battery can you boot on the battery immediately after you turn it off with ac charger disconnected?

MSI 5600VTDR DVI and Flicker Problem

Hi
Have a MSi5600-VTDR now for about 6 month. I have two Problems with it
1. If i shut down my computer and restart and turn it own directly the screen is messed up and windows stops working after a few mins. There are like colored shadows besides the windows on screen. First looks like a borken cable. (Tried a few cables). When i leave the PC off for about 10 mins the problem doesnt occur. I have 2 fans in the power supply (enermax) and two additional case fans. The fan on the card runs fine.
2. The DVI works only very poor. Only in a few cases i can see the POST Screen on my TFT. If they appear on the screen i get a lot of yellow/green lines and dots on my screen. This only goes away when the W2k login screen shows up. Also i cannot set Frequencies higher than 60Hz
My question now are.
1. Has anyone else the same probs
2. Is it a hardware problem. The TFT runs fine on another computer.
Setup:
MSI KT6-Delta Board. AMD 1800+ graphicard has a own IRQ. Latest nVidia/Via drivers.
Powersupply: 350W, 3.3V/32A, 5V/32A, 12V/17A

Hoi,
I spent a month looking at flat-screen monitors, and after choosing the samsung 710T, I can tell ya that 60Hz is the max refresh rate when using a DVI connection for most flat screens. I have seen some higher, but the monitors were ongodly expensive...so I didn't look at them very closely. I know it's odd, my flat monitor runs at 75Hz under VGA, but only 60Hz on DVI. It's not supposed to matter as much since the signal on a DVI is supposed to be "purer" so I've heard (i.e. not converted twice from PC to monitor), but I haven't seen any real hard data analyzing the comparative refresh rates.
Sounds like your video card is AFU btw, if the monitor works fine on another system, RMA the card.
FYI mine broke after 20 days (the DVI signal)...still awaitng RMA....

MSI KT4V-L Ultra Power Problems

Hi,
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I need an answer quickly and this seemed the best place to ask...
I have just built a system with the following specs:
MSI KT4V-L Ultra
Athlon XP 2100
256 DDR 2700
350 W PS (came with a fairly exspensive case)
32MB TNT 2
Built it - fired up no problem with case open. Installed Windows 98 no problem. Installed a few more items of software - no problem. Everything running - no crashes/stability issues.
I then re-attatched the sides and front of the case, and turn the PC on. Nothing happens. I turn off the switch at the back of the power supply and then turn it on again. Upon pressing the power button on the case the Diagnostic LEDs + case power LED flash very briefly and then nothing. The Power supply fan does not turn.
Does this problem sound like the mobo or the PSU? I know the next stage is to test the PSU on its own but unfortunatley I can't do that from work!
Has anyone come across a problem like this before? My instinct tells me it is the PSU as I have changed nothing on the mobo - Any help/advice really appreciated!

Thanks - I'm really hoping it's not the mobo.
Would that explain why there is power for a fleeting moment before it dies?
If I try the power switch at the front again after one failure nothing at all happens - until I turn the Power supply switch off and then on again...
What is the easiest way to test the switch - would shorting the two Power Switch pins on the motherboard do it?
(Is this a common problem?!?)

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Power problem?!

So I worked all last night trying to fix the damn thing. It wants to keep powering off on its own. So I unplugged all the devices from the board and powersupply except the only needed items, the board, power switch, and memory (cpu fan of course left on). Still turns off. Reset bios, still. Put system into safe mode by the jumper. Still.
Okay so I gave up, and took the board, memory and processor into a local place that sells these boards. They have seen a few problems with them. 4 hrs later, $55 short they tell me the heat sink wasn't on the chip right so it caused the board to think it was hot and shut itself down right away! He said he ran it for most of the day. So I am like whatever! He left it on there how he had it. I took it home, hooked it back up, and there it goes again!
The 1st night it ran fine, no hd, but I ran it the whole evening. The 2nd night I powered it up, it started to do this. Nothing changed. So now I am getting ticked off. I am about to take my whole case, and system back to those guys and tell them see....
Anyone who has used this board have any ideas? I have built many systems and this is the first one that is being a pain in the butt.

Powersupply is rated at:
+12v - 25amps
+3.3v - 28a

Power supplies can go bad at anytime.Take the whole thing up there.Case and all and let them check it out.BTW all power supplies aren't equal. IMHO buy an Antec TruePower 430 or 480 watt

Puzzling connection and power problems

I spent a frustratingly large chunk of the holiday week struggling to interpret and respond to two serious problems with my computer setup and Internet connection on the Sunday after Christmas. See [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10811325] for background.
After returning the APC UPS to the store, I crossed my fingers, went to a different retailer and bought a [Monster MDP 900|http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=5016] basic surge protector (which actually cost more than the APC UPS although this store's discounting is comparable to Best Buy's).
I connected the G5, its display, and the G-drive to it and left everything else connected to the old APC surge protector that I had “borrowed” from another room after the Belkin did its apparent kamikaze deed. (Side note: The back of the Belkin says its "maximum load" is "15A 125VAC 80HZ 1875W." Since my G5's CPU alone can draw up to 450W according to [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24037], and there was a ton of other stuff connected, I guess I was pushing my luck? Although it did tolerate that load for a little over a year.)
Then, stubborn sort that I am, I reintroduced the old Linksys router. So far, so good. I used both the G5 and my G3 beige for many hours yesterday. No noticeable problems with Internet connection or anything else. And I had even fixed (I think) the G3's glitchy monitor connection when something triggered the memory of stashing a spare adapter that NEC had sent me eons ago. Bliss
This morning, I decided to try to re-establish communication between the G3 and the G5. That didn't go well, and in the process I wound up in the G5's network prefs panel and was aghast to see Ethernet 1 status (with a label noting that its IP address was "self-assigned") switching back and forth between "connected" and not-so-good statuses, including one that said the cable wasn't connected. This appeared to be the same problem I'd battled last Sunday--when the genius in my ISP's phone support, clearly never breaking a brain sweat, dismissed it as a router malfunction. Can't entirely blame him, though, because it did seem to go away when the router was cut out of the loop. (The G3's connection, I should note, did NOT seem to be similarly afflicted today, but I can't compare that aspect with last Sunday's episode, because the G3 wasn't in use then.) That was the day when, some hours later, the surge protector failed, so I assumed the impending failure had caused the router to malfunction, and that the load reduction from taking out the router had kept the surge protector going for a few more hours, though I was not 100% comfortable with that theory.
Back to today. I shut down, connected the cablemodem directly to the G5 instead of the router, reset the modem, powered up. No change, same syndrome.
After some fidding, including copying DNS server addresses from an old configuration that doesn't work any more, I established a new location that lit up, and it's behaved perfectly for the past couple of hours. No more warnings in prefs about a self-assigned IP address (which is a completely different series of numbers now).
So, it seems that the "flickering connection" and the failure of the surge protector several hours later last Sunday (long after the connection seemed to have been stabilized) really were completely unrelated, and that my old router was probably innocent in both cases. (I haven't yet screwed up the courage and energy to try reintegrating the router again.) At most, maybe all the on-offs of the cablemodem and router during my diagnostic session with phone support accelerated the surge protector's breakdown. Right? Am I missing anything here? Any tips, insights or similar experiences anyone can share?

This. Is. Driving. Me. Nuts.
I put my router back online yesterday and ran both the G5 and the G3 beige for many hours with no apparent hiccups or other problems of any kind.
But this morning was another story. I used the G5 for an hour or so, then booted up the beige just to see if everything was still okay. I watched the Network Prefs panel as the beige was starting up. As I feared... the network status started cycling again on the G5. (The beige did connect and loaded a few pages quite snappily.) As in previous episodes, the status was changing every few seconds from "Connected" to "Cable not plugged in" to "Unable to determine status" or "No IP address" or some other error message.
I shut down the G3. The G5's network status changed one last time after the G3 had powered off, then remained steady.
I left it on, went out on some errands, and came back with some new Cat6 cables (Geek Squad brand from Best Buy, too bloody expensive, but it was either that or buy something I didn't really need at Amazon to get free shipping for the cables, and then wait, which I did not care to. I don't like the connectors, I have to say, but that's a side issue. At least I hope it is.)
I shut down, cabled, and went about trying to resuscitate my little LAN. No luck, no matter what I did. All kinds of trial and error not worth detailing IMO, except to say that the G5 seemed convinced that it was disconnected from Ethernet as long as it was plugged into the router (in either of two router ports I tried). I have given up on the router for now, but I still don't really believe it's the culprit.
I think I did try switching the cable to the second Ethernet port on the G5 at one point and it didn't help. I guess that was while I was still trying to make the router work. (My brain is getting fried...) Then I decided maybe that particular cable was bad. But before I decommissioned it, while it was connected directly to the cablemodem, I plugged it into Ethernet 2. And we were alive. I don't think I even had to reset anything.
I surfed for a while and then couldn't stand it any more--I had to shut down, switch it back to Ethernet 1 and see if I got a green. I did, but unlike before, we had the dreaded "self-assigned IP address" and the computer was offline. Oh, that again. I went into Network Diagnostics, which as usual directed me to restart the cablemodem. After that, it connected, but there was one last hiccup where it flashed "No IP address." Then the address changed to a 66 number, and it has been steady since, for at least an hour.
Something else that I haven't mentioned: My TV in the same room has been suffering from intermittent, very brief audio interruptions for quite some time. Two, three months I'd say. Maybe four. Now and then the video freezes, too. But strangely, the TV in the bedroom hardly does this, if at all. I suppose the cable splitter could have a partial or mixed malfunction though. I'm not sure of the relationship in time of those symptoms to my Internet problems, which I now suspect started a while back when my old static-IP configuration unaccountably stopped working and I reverted to the previous one.
Whether or not the TV symptoms are related, I'm really beginning to think this recurrent syndrome has nothing to do with my computers or my router. I think it's time for a house call from the cable company (including, maybe, a new cablemodem). Agree? Other ideas?
Thanks...
Oh, but wait! Just now, I decided to try to log in to my router and see if there were any bad settings left over from that old configuration. I pulled up the cable that was attached to it, thinking I'd plug it into Ethernet 2... and Ethernet 1 went down. Now its network status says "Cable Unplugged" again. WTH?? I don't think the cable even touched anything as I drew it up. Again the router was NOT connected at this time to anything except power.
I hot-swapped the G5's cable back to its Ethernet 2 port, and now it's connected (but had a self-assigned IP again; restarting the cablemodem fixed that).
Maybe it isn't the cable company's problem after all... maybe the G5's Ethernet 1 port is tired and needs to be put out to pasture....
See why I say THIS. IS. DRIVING. ME. NUTS. ??? Help please...
UPDATE: We are live--via my router, connected to Ethernet 2. Starting to look like an intermittently sick port (Ethernet 1), as DaddyP suggested?

MSI 845G Max-L power problem?

My system is about a month old as follows:
MSI 845G Max-L (MSI-6580)
P4 2.26 Northwood 533bus w/stock Intel fan
512meg Corsair XMS 2700
MSI Geforce4 4400Ti
SB Live 5.1
Maxtor 40Gb ATA 133 7200rpm
56X Aopen CD-rom
16X10X40 Lite-on CD-rw
420watt PS
It was bought and assembled from Ibuypower.com with the harddrive formatted only... no OS installed. I installed WinXP Pro and installed all necessary drivers . Everything was running GREAT until about a week ago, something strange began to happen. When using the shut down option in WinXP, and using "turn off" my computer will power down and sometimes spontaneously reboot instead of the power shutting off completely. Sometimes it will delay 3-4 seconds with all power off, including the case fans, lights, cpu fan, then powers back up. Last night, I powered down before bed and it stayed off...at least that's what I thought... when I woke up this morning, it was back on again. I can't figure for the life of me what is going on.. any help would be appreciated. ?(

make sure all wake on options are of in bios

MSi K8N Neo2 platinum: Power problem?

Hello everybody, I'm from vietnam
I have bought a K8N Neo2 Platinum with AMD3000+ (venice, E6) + PSU Acbel 300W (I thibk that it' enough, because I just use this machine for everyday co). But I have a bug:
I shutdown my PC, but I don't disconnect it from the electricity, then, i can start it again.
I shutdown my PC, but I disconnect it from the electricity, then, i cannot start it again- the system starts, the fans move, but just that. i have to clear CMOS, then, the PC can run normal.
I have flash BIOS to the newest (V1.B), but it can;t help!
Thanks a lot for your aid!

i think you need a new PSU.

2 x 6800 GT power problem

Since I failed to find a similar post, I'll just make a topic. I have two MSI 6800 GTs (MSI NX6800GT- T2D256E) and an OCZ Powerstream 520 (33A/+12V). The PSU has only one PCIe connector for the cards, so I used that for one card and went with the power connector that came with the card for the second. I dedicated an unshared cable to the second card, but after running a 3D app, the pc freezed, I had to restart and I noticed that from that point on the led on the second card was out. All power cables on my PSU are female so I used just the male connector of the cable supplied with the card. My 3DMark05 scores are like those of just one 6800GT card (SLi and the like is enabled, running 71.84 nvidia drivers). The cables are firmly in place. So, what's the problem? Both cards are running at stock speeds, nothing on the PC is OCed.

Ok,fortunately I found one with two male ends and connected 2 single vga/hdd cables (as labeled on the psu) and it works fine. Shouldn't the company supply different cables just in case someone like me doesn't have a single male psu cable connector? Oh well, now I have to go find a same cable for my bro's pc (identical system). Can I return those 4 useless cables and ask for cables with two male connectors? No, huh? :P well, was worth a try. Thanks though

MSI 6800GT

a have a NX 6800GT-T2D256E that looks not like the other MSI 6800GT-T2D256E... on the MSI site is the VGA colored red, and has a big red cooler... But my 6800GT is greed and looks like a NVIDIA 6800GT reference card.. ??? is it a fake 6800GT one?

That copper cooler has one huge draw back... it uses thermal pads for the memory cooling, -AND- the GPU temp overheats the memory, because of the ONE LARGE sink design... I think... I have noticed more and more of these red PCB MSI 6800GTs with this cooler and no one seems to get above 1070 or so on the memory... I am so going to go with the new Vantech or Logisys VGA copper cooler and ram-sinks for this... this is a good card! it's got Samsung memory on it and my cards don't OC worth anything... and I think it's this cooler... also, the mosfets have a large thermal pad between them and the copper sink on my cards... and they run HOT... I can't help but to think that is not the best way to make good use of that copper cooler... thermal pads are just not great heat conductors... hmmm... well, anyways... I am thinking about stripping the coolers off of my PNY 6800GT and trying them on my MSI... it's got the reference cooler on it... and it OC's like a BEAST. lol.
I was alll psyched that this copper cooler would be awesome... but am pretty bummed that it's got thermal pads...and it's noisy as hell at the all but the fastest fan speed. what is up with that. wow... anyways. I hope others have having better luck with these cards than I am.

Display and camera problems... related?

Dear Folks of Apple Support Communities.
Recently i have started to experience a rather disturbing issues with my screen, and that made me remember of the problems with the camera.
I have MBP retina early 2013 and. well, it is known fact that screens on this particular model are not exactly brilliant... The same could be said about the camera, which has simply tuns of blue noise! But the screen was acting pretty Ok for some time now, there always was a minor image retention, but as i had nowhere to fix this, i had to live with it. But recently the screen started to turn GREEN! Yes that emerald shade, almost like cartoon green!!! That happened to it once before, but was not so intense, well at least i was able to see something... But the other day i was completely blown away, when i turned on my mac and i sew bright-bright green screen with absolutely no picture... Why does this happen to a £2000 product i have no clue! Now it has an uneven colour (the bottom corners are blueish, and the sides are somewhat darker).
Is there some way to resolve it? Or should i ask for the screen replacement (and the camera with it as well)?
I will be in Glasgow starting from september, so i will have an Apple store near by... i just don't want this to happen anymore, it is really scary.
Many thanks . Anna.

You should not be having those type of problems on a brand new Mac. Did you call AppleCare about this? If not why not?
You have 90 days of free phone tech support from Apple on top of your one year warranty. Strongly suggest that you use it before you lose it! You already missed your 14 day from the date of purchase to return your MBP for a refund or an exchange.

MBP 13'' Display and Screen Problems.

HELP!
I've posted about this problem before, and I've read all the threads, but my problem is not resolved despite sending my new MBP back to Apple to sort it out. They fitted a new logic board, but it has made no difference. My machine is still under warranty.
The MBP continues to totally freeze when connected to an external projector via the mini port using VGA. The computer screen goes a funny blue-ish color with everything out of focus and the pointer freezes, too. It has also started to make a funny buzzing noise, too. I have to restart the entire machine, which is not very convenient right in the middle of using it. It is an intermittent problem. Sometimes, the machine is working OK for a few days, other days it crashes several times.
I have read that this may be something to do with 32 bit versus 64 bit Kernel start up. Some suggest resetting the PRAM and system manager, but I'm still struggling. Does anyone know what the real issue is? A solution would be great.
By the way, I am resorting to using my old MBP (Nov 2006 15" model) and it works perfectly still, no matter what projector it is connected to. It is frustrating the **** out of me as I bought the 13'' to have more power and RAM and it is easier to lug about the place, but I can't use it as I need to connect it up to various projectors at work.
Any expert out there? I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem. Is it only confined to the MBP 13", or has the 15" got similar problems? From the threads, I can tell this has been a big issue for people using their computers in conjunction with a projector.

MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

Hello, I'm from Greece
My computer Setup is:
Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
HDD: WD 300GB SATA
The problem is:
I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks you in advance.

Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU. A painful process, I know ... Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
Andrew
Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.

Problem with MSI 865P Neo and G4 Winfast

Hi all,
I bought the mainboard MSI 865P Neo. Have put it into G4 Winfast A280 LE TDH my vivo. And the problem appeared.
When I doing whatever in Win (for example open explorer, mouse rightclick ...) the screen is simply runing over.
Seems like a video card doesn`t handle it or Screen (monitor) is poor but it`s not. The same problem appears also while Windows is installed.
Little note I want to add is my G4 has new Bios setup and on my second card Leadtek G2 MX everything`s ok. It seems for conflict between the mainboard and my v-card. Have you met similar problem ?
Would be grateful for an answer
Best regards

On my old mainboard - ABIT ST6R (with G4) everything was ok. I changed mainboard, RAM and P4 and problem has appeared.
MSI supports AGP 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V (3.3V not supported)
If G4 needs 3.3V (I can't find G4 how much needs) that problem is obvious. I must change mainboard.
Anyone knows how much G4 poverage needs?

MSI 6800gt problems

Last week i baught a MSI 6800gt to replace my old mx440. All was going well for the first day however when i went to play any games or anything the next day my computer would crash( this appears to be a result of the screen resolution changing). I got the latest drivers off the msi site which didnt fix it so i got the lates ones from the nvidia website which had no effect either. I also did a compelte re-install of windows but it did nothing.
When i first put the card in i could run all the 3dmark03 tests however now it gets to the cpu tests and displays an error message(cant rermember the exact message). Also I cant load up any farcry levels( computer restarts its self) and in brothers in arms if i try to change the screen resolution it either turns my monitor off and i cant turn it back on without restsrting or makes the screen flicker black and orange. If i do manage to get the game to run when i exit out windows stays on the same resolution as i was playing and if i try to change it it tells me i have to restart the computer.
Can anyone help me. Did i get a dodgy card? or does it have compatiblity issues with my motherboard? im fresh out of ideas

Im now running a new motherboard - ABIT NF7-S not that this has helped matters. This involved formatting and re-installing windows, with the latest nforce drivers and graphics drivers(v71.89) all was good for the first time i ran my computer but after re-booting it was back to its same old problems.
I tryed my card in my mates computer (A64 3500+, 1Gig Geil RAM, Antec True480 PSU) who also has a MSI 6800GT which worked fine with both mine and his cards. His card however wouldnt work in my computer. After putting the card back into my computer i disconnected my 2nd HDD, Case fans and Hardcano, put my CPU back to stock settings, and pulled out my VT and network cards, all of which had no effect. This is driving me up the wall, all i want to do is to be able to play Farcry and HL2 and it wont work Interestingly enough i can play DX7 games with no issues however it appears that anything using DX8 or 9 wont work. HL2 turns my monitor off and farcry restarts my computer. I have even tryed changing resolutions and refresh rates of my monitor (Samsung 753DFX) not that it made any difference.
If anyone is having similar problems and managed to fix them can you let me know how.
