MX4000-T128 Should I use a fan?

Hello,
Currently using a MX4000-T128 (heatsink only-no fan) and am pleased with the results.  However, upon playing a game or two (ex. Comanche4) for an hour plus, the heatsink was too hot to touch.  While I don't have the most expensive card, I do want to take care of it.  What I find curious is that there is a fan connector, but no mention at all in the literature as to its use.
Installing an inexpensive fan would not hurt, but any suggestions on how to attach the darn thing?  Forgive me for asking such a basic question, but this card is difficult to locate in general, and as a result, any specifics on a modification or two, is a difficult task, to say the least.

You could do that too, I have done that on several occasions as well. I'm sure you'll figure out something. The trick with your proposal is finding a fan that has mounting holes (at least two that will fall between the fins, and then finding the right diameter screw that will fit snugly between the fins and through the fan housing.
This is also another choice I might consider something here http://www.xpcgear.com/memorychipco.html , and then this http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_alumina_thermal_adhesive.htm can buy it here http://www.xpcgear.com/extremepcgear/thermalcomou.html

  • Which color profile should I use?

    I'm getting into doing some freelance graphic design, and I've been playing around with my awesome new C2D Macbook Pro. I am wondering, which color profile should I use? It's set on Color LCD, but I'm wondering about Adobe RGB or Apple RGB would those be better?
    Thanks!

    I personally am a fan of the sRGB on the Mac. I think the blue comes out very nice when comparing it to the others.

    Have you tried using the "Arial Unicode MS"? I saw that "the Arial Unicode font includes support for the Asian languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean) as well as for all the languages used in major commercial markets." Let me know if this works.

  • What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

    Hey Forum,
    I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
    All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
    Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
    But that is the exception that makes the rule.
    SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

  • I feel I must move beyond iMovie, what program should I use ?

    I have been happily using iMovie and iDVD from versions 1 through 6.  iMovie 08 was so bad that Apple made iMovie 06 available as a free download for buyers of iMovie 08. The newer iMovies were better, but they seemed “dumbed down” (even for me).  Now, I am shocked and horrified to learn that the latest iMovie does not even set chapter markers!
    So, I have continued to use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (they seem to work fine under OS 10.9.4).   iMovie 06 is now 8 years old!  I feel compelled to move forward. A lot of my work is DV.    In the past, most of my source material came out of S-Video.   I used a Canopus ADVC300 analog-to-digital converter that gave good results.   Going forward, I will have more video utilizing Component Video, or HDMI.
    I am looking into 2 possibilities,  Adobe Premiere elements 12, or.........Final Cut Pro X.
    The final result of my work is almost always a DVD.   It is hard for me to move from iMovie and iDVD.  I never read the manuals for either program, yet,  I was able to produce DVDs with nice menus and overall quality close to Hollywood.
    It looks like Final Cut Pro X 'can' make a DVD directly without other software.  However, from what I have seen on YouTube the result is primitive compared to what iDVD was doing 10 years ago.
    Adobe Premiere elements 12 can make nice DVDs and Blu-ray's directly.  I have no problem with using a separate program to make DVDs but I haven't got a clue how to do that with Final Cut Pro X.   I suppose I can still use iDVD, but now I'm back to using discontinued software.
    I do not need any of the high-powered affects capability that Final Cut Pro X  possesses.  My “movie-making” is mostly confined to simple editing (the old iMovie 06 did all I needed).
    Frankly, one motivation for choosing Final Cut Pro X, is the excellent, compassionate and understanding support that the kind people on this very forum provide.  So, what program should I use?

    to turn perspective for a second by 180°:
    Why do you want to switch to a new editor anyhow?
    • iM-a never did discs - that was iDVDs job = no big change in your workflow
    • iDVD is still working, and aside obsolete, complex and $$$$ DVDSP (part of obsolete FC/p) or Encore (part of Adobes CC rent package) your only option left to create disks on MacOS is indeed iDVD (...ok, there's Toast and Burn and some weird 'shareware'-stuff...)..
    • iMovie-b supports the new HDef formats (AVCHD) - you mentioned converters and DVDs = no HDef in use, in your habitat, correct?
    • if you don't need FCPX' bling-bling (I can't imagine that ) - why not using FCPX-lite = iMovie? 15$ ...
    • chapters could be done in iDVD - just to mention that ............
    • AP and FCPX are following very different concepts in usage - my personal preference is 200% on FCPX, … I was one of the loudest nay-sayers, when iM08 araised, meanwhile, FCPX is my dream!! AP (tested it) is way too complex, crowded, 'optionalized' and did I mention 'complex' for me. A bit like Windows vs. MacOS: 'everything goes' (incl. getting lost) vs. 'convenience' (incl. restrictions) ... After 2y of practice, I'm editing my weekly hobby-projects with 6-cam-Multicam, incl. tons of  custom graphics, slow-mow, effects (soccer games) in less than 2h ... awesome!
    summary:
    • why switching?
    • use iMovie10 + iDVD
    • Premiere (or Premiere Elements!) and FCPX are both avail as fee trial ... test  it - but you need iDVD anyhow
    • 'disks'  is a dwindling niché, for years!- consider to switch to 'other' distribution options
    ... what are 'chapters' anyhow??... (kid din'!)

  • Which C# Adobe library should I use to open a PDF in Acrobat Reader 9, 10, and 11?

    Hi, all.
    I have a Visual Studio C# application that writes an Adobe PDF using iText. Does anyone know how to programmatically open the PDF on client's computer and ensure it works for Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11?
    -I have Adobe Reader XI on my machine and "Adobe Pdf Reader" is NOT showing up in my COM references. This is the library that I've heard people use for this.
    -The "Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library" is showing up there, but does not add to my project because of the following error message: "A reference to 'Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library' could not be added. Could not register the ActiveX type library....adoberfp.dll'." But I haven't persued this further becuase I'm not even convinced I should be using this library, which brings me to my next point:
    -Please don't tell me to go read the Adobe SDK spec. In searching for this answer, I found posts on here with people asking this question and getting not great answers, or half-*** answers to go read the Adobe SDK spec. I have the Adobe SDK spec, it's terrible. The example source code is laughably poor and reads like it was written by someone with bad english, with poor naming, commenting, and documentation, and there is no separate document that explains what the source code does. I think the reason people say this is because they haven't read it themselves and they don't know the answer and hope to deal with the question by handwaving. Sorry for the rant if you weren't going to do that!
    Thanks in advance, if anyone knows.
    -Brandon

    It will be from a client-side application, and I will be reviewing this further and get back on it. At this time my assembly isn't the correct type of 32-bit, which may be a deal-breaker. But downgrading it to 32-bit, I wasn't able to find or include the appropriate library for AXAcroPDF.
    Just a word about my trying to read the SDK documentation. The documentation folder has 5 items, a folder called "Javascript", an html file caled "Acrobat_11_SDK_Help_Shortcut.html", a zip file called "...HTMLHelp.zip," pdf_reference.pdf, and U3DElements.pdf. I've never heard of U3DElements, so surely that isn't meant for me. The pdf_reference.pdf, when opened, has three PDF links to two supplements to ISO 32000-1 and a document titled Document management. These describe the PDF spec, so that's not for me. So I must have to use the HTML documentation shortcut. I open it, and my browser says the redirect URL can't be found. Ah, may be that stuff in the ZIP file it's referencing. After unzipping it, you have to move the file around so that it actually references the right index.html inside the unzipped folders, and then even after this it loads up as two blank frames in my browser. I will look into why the links are all dead, but holy lord, this is just not very helpful at all.
    Thanks for your help, Test Screen Name.

  • Should I use one apple id with multiple devices?

    I have 2 iPods an iPad and a new iPhone. Should I use the same Apple ID on all decvices?  The iPods are for the kids to use. Also, will be adding apple tv soon...

    I registered my daughters two I touches using my apple I'd , but now told I should use separate IDs even though only my credit card is to be used when authorized by me.  As I try to figure this very confusing dilemma out, didninunderstand correctly that if I remove their devices now from my ID, they can't be associated with another device for 90 days?  Is their a walk thru tutorial somewhere about how to do this bc I'm beginning to think some mistakes are irreversible for 90 days if you try to figure it out and are wrong!

  • I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

    I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

  • Should we use same apple id for ipad and iphone

    i had bought a ipad, should i use the same Apple ID as per my iphone? or create a new one. if i use the same ID, howabout my i cloud storage will be remain 5GB or 10GB

    One possible use for separate Apple IDs is to have a separate ID associated with a particular device.  This could be important with iMessage or Facetime, because if you associate all your devices with one ID, you will receive iMessages or Facetime calls on all your devices simultaneously.  If you only want to do iMessage on your iPhone, for example, people could use the Apple ID associated with your iPhone, and the messages would not show up on your iPad.  Obviously, this could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you like to work.
    For me, I have a single Apple ID, mainly because it is easier to keep track of my purchases and downloads.  I also prefer to receive messages and facetime calls on all my devices, so I can choose which one to respond from.
