Northbridge cooler options for K7N2G-L

I was considering if I should replace the stock passive solution on my K7N2G-L northbridge with something active. I don't currently use the onboard video, but will when I get my second system back together. It looks like a Chrome Orb or Vantec Iceberg are the only real options I can find. Are they any better than stock? I can't find anything useful about IGP cooling solutions in google.com. Is there a better cooling solution out there? Or should I leave well enough alone?
K7N2G-L
Athlon 2200+ Retail Stock Fan
2 X 256MB Samsung
Palit Daytona Geforce4 440MX 64MB AGPx8
Western Digital 60GB HDD model WD600BB
Lite-on CDRW 48x16x48 model LTR-48246S
Toshiba x16 DVD model SDM1712
ATAPI LS120 Floppy
Antec SLK3700AMB case with SL350 Power Supply and 2x 120mm Antec fans
:D

I put a 40mm Sunon 6800 rpm fan on the Heatsink of theK7N2-L a few weeks ago and it works very well. The hardest thing I found to complete the projest was finding screws that would take a bite of the NB heatsink fins. I hadn't suffered any instability issues but had noticed that the NB sink was noticably warm to the touch with my FSB set at 200 so I thouhgt what the heck, the fan was just laying around collecting dust anyhow so I slapped it on.

Z800 secondary cooling duct part number for water cool option.

Hi
I need the part number dor the secondary cooling duct on a z800 it mounts to the main airflow cover using the water cooling option. It can be seen in this pdf on page 5 bottom right corner. You can see it attached.
http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/downloads/Increasing-thermal-efficiency-with-liquid-cooling.pdf
If you do not know the part number a serial number of a pc with the item in question would also work.
thanks

Northbridge cooling on K7N2-Delta L?

Thinking about putting a fan on the northbridge to cool things down a bit. Just wondering what everyone else is using for this board. i know Vantec has some decent chipset cooling options, anyone have any experience with these?
http://www.vantecusa.com/product-cooling.html#
TIA

Yeh, I was thinking about putting a fan on top of the existing hs rather than trying to hassle with it. Any recommendations on decent fans?
-forgot to add..what size fan fits on the hs in this board? Think it may be 40mm, but not sure.

Extra cooling needed for G4 MDD Dual 1.25 w/Radeon 9800?

I'm juggling graphics cards in my G4s. Some months back, I received a G4 MDD Dual 1.25 with a Radeon 9000. I migrated all my stuff from my G4 Digital Audio over to that, including my GeForce 4Ti card, and after some downloading of drivers, I was able to get the G4 DA running with the 9000.
A short time ago, I recieved a G4 MDD Dual 1.0 Ghz with a Radeon 9800 Pro 128M card (that's what the label says, anyway...). Two things were a little different, and they are what prompt my question. First, one of the PCI slot "covers" had been removed. This could simply be that the preior owner removed a card they needed for something else, of course. And second, there was rather a lot of foam (like for chair cushions) stuffed in places. I'm thinking that was to quiet the machine down.
So anyway, if I move the 9800 into my dual 1.25, will I need to "help" the cooling in any way? I'm thinking not, but since I've never dealt with these cards before, then perhaps there is common knowledge out there I'm unaware of.
Then, I'll have a G4/DA with 1/2Ghz Sonett processor & GeForce 4Ti, and a G4 MDD Dual 1.0 Ghz with Radeon 9000 to move on to new owners...

The Radeon 9800 is a warm card, but it isn't so terrible that the MDD can't use one.
The most important step for keeping the DP MDD cool is to enable Nap mode using CHUD:
567DFEE3-A0A8-4602-9722-FCFCD76D8837.html
Another important task is to replace the thermal compound on the Radeon 9800.
The cards are all older than the thermal compound was meant to last.
16196A0F-952B-47ED-A9F9-91F7B0ECA431.html
and
C874D84E-96DD-4DFF-9566-7C66BE065BB5.html
Use Arctic Cooling MX-4.
Also use it on the processors to get additional cooling benefits.
Use of Nap mode and replacement of the thermal compound should be all that is required to avoid heat issues.
The following are all additional cooling ideas to consider.
The mention of a PCI cooler is a good one. Placed along side the Radeon, it can help to rid the case of hot air produced by the graphics card.
This one is good help with minimum noise:
http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-cyclo-blue-slotcooler.html
The Radeon 9800 has a minimalist fan and heatsink.
The aluminum heatsink doesn't disipate heat as fast as copper, and the fans tend to bake out and fail.
Replacement with a third party cooler is a good idea, but the design of the MDD makes that difficult.
This little Vantec cooler is a good option for the 9800 in a MDD which has the memory slots filled:

If the memory slots have two 1 GB DIMMs installed in the two slots furthest from the graphics card, then this cooler is fine:

Cool Apps. for Macs

I just purchased my first mac a macbook pro about a month ago and i was wondering what are the best applications to download for a mac? What do these applications do and where they can be found? I have seen a lot of cool apps for macs but i just don't know which ones are worth downloading and i will have he most fun with. Thank you very much. I cant wait to get your suggestions.

Again, the problem with your question is that it's too broad: You're like a guy standing in front of a carpenter, a plumber and an electrician and saying: Look I got a great new toolbox, what cool tools should I get? And the first thing those guys are going to say is: What's the job you're trying to do? A woodsaw ain't much help for cutting pipe?
So FileMaker Pro is a great database app. Explore it to the fullest. You'll master it in about a year. See the problem?
i would like for image editing. I want apps that will make my mac more fun to use daily.
Image Editing
iPhoto is on your Mac. You can use external editors with it:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Other photo apps worth looking at:
PhotoPresenter is an excellent slideshow app.
If you want to make slideshow movies: iMovie, PhotoToMovie, Final Cut Express are all excellent for the job - they're arranged in price order there too.
Budapest Sculptures was made using Final Cut Express
There are a multitude of online tutorials, forums and whatever on digital photography - google them. Again, that's another year of your life used up

Northbridge cooler

Hi,
I am thinking of replacing the northbridge cooler on my 875p-fis2r.
I am looking at this one:
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/minochcokit.html
but I was wondering if anybody had any exprience with that product on a MSI board.
Cheers
FYB

I did replace the thermal pad with some artic silver. It does work fine, as long as you are very carefull not to put any on the miniature (what looks like) heatsinks. Else your system might become unstable (believe I know ). Now something I find interesting. You know how the NB temperature always shows around 54-56 C. Well I got the same phenomenom now with my processor temperature, eventhough the temperature coming directly from the P4 is correct (around 36 C). After installing 'Motherboard Monitor', and configuring sensor 1 to WinBond1, sensor 2 to winbond 2 and sensor 3 to winbond 3, the reading of the CPU temperature is always ~20 C off. If i run corecenter first, the temperature is correct, then if i launch 'motherboard monitor' i got that jump in the p4 temperature, and it stays as is until i reboot. So whatever 'MM' does to screw up the reading of the CPU, might be equivalent to what MSI does to read the NB temperature.
I am going to get a temperature probe this morning, as i want to check the temp on a couple of components. I will monitor the NB temp with it for a while.

Which cpu-cooler/heatsink for my new box?

hi
after 3 days of reading hardware-review sites i have decided to order the following things:
Antec Sonata Case
MSI K8T-Neo FI2R mobo
Athlon64 3000+ boxed
MSI GeforceFX 5900XT-VTD128
I'm stuck on selecting the right CPU & northbridge cooler.
I'd like to buy a Zalman CNPS7000 AlCu CPU cooler & the Zalman ZM-NB47J for passive northbridge cooling but i'm not sure if there's enough room on the motherboard for those two to fit.
does anyone here have any expierence with this cooler-combo?
if you have any other cooling suggestions please let me know!

I have that zalman and the NB cooler too, the MSI NB cooler is very much like the NB cooler from Zalman tho.
The 7000 rocks but right now I'm waiting for an Alpha 8150 which will be replacing my Zalman, not because it's not good.. it's probably just as good as that Alpha or even better but I just want to change for the change's sake.
Here's a small list for you to consider.
Alpha Pal 8150
Zalman 7000 cu/alu
Thermalright 748u
Swiftech, coming ouit this month
These are the heavy weights for the A64 CPUs.. I think they're all so close to each other it's just a matter of taste really.
Good luck,
Simon

Northbridge Cooler on 970A-G45 board

So basically I had to buy this board since my old one died on me and I also upgraded to a corsair H100. Now my problem is that the northbridge gets way too hot 80C+ on the heatsink. Is there any compatible northbridge cooler(preferably with a fan) that will work with this board since it seems the board uses non standard mounting for the northbridge cooler. It would be nice to have pics and a link to the specific cooler. Thanks.

Quote from: Fredrik on 13-January-12, 07:07:59
So there is no difference with or without either intake fans or your new chipset fan? I was about to ask, why you used them then in the first place. But I wont do that!
Then
- Something else must be blocking the air-flow, too. '
- Or the heat sink has a very bad original seating.
- Or the sensor or reading program has gone mad. - That would me the most logical point, wouldn't it?
I use the intake fans for direct airflow to hard drives and my graphics card that's why I use them. The fan I currently have attached to the NB heat sink does work but I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
Also just for clarification I'm not using software to monitor my northbridge. If you noticed in the picture I linked to in one of my last posts I have a temp probe inserted into the heat sink and the heat sink itself is at 80C+. So yes the heat sink has proper contact with the NB otherwise it wouldn't get that hot.
Here's a link to another pic showing how short the heat sink is compared to the older heat sinks (yes I know the old heat sink is sitting on the pci slots but you can still see the difference). Also note the orientation of the slots on the current cooler where the H100 cpu block prevent my top fans from pulling air across the NB.

No option for trial of design standard in download assistant

So I have clicked to download a trial of design standard. Information tells me it will automatically start my download, but I have to run the file myself and then I am given no option to download design standard only web and design premium and so on, I do not need any web stuff. I could download photoshop, illustrator and indesign seperately but will this cause problems when I want to buy the proffesional version ?
Also just as an aside complaint I would love to be able to pay for this software in incriments, I really want the proffessional version but don't have all the cash upfront to pay for it. Would be cool if you brought in an option for this.
Cheers

You will need to initiate a download of Design Standard directly from the trial page at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard&loc=en_us. It will still use the Adobe Download Assistant but the download needs to be initiated by the page.

MSI 875P Neo-LSR & Northbridge Cooler

Hi
Hi have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR motherboard and the northbridge cooler is making alot of noise!
I've already cleaned the dust from the fan, added some oil but it stills makes an anoying noise
My question is this:
I don't want to spend €€€ in a new cooler because i'm upgrading my system in a few months so, will my motherboard survive without the cooler? But remaining with the heatsink...
I have a Thermalright XP120 with an 120mm fan in my CPU, which are very close to the northbridge, they might fresh a little the NB... And i got a good airflow in my case...
My MB:

Thank you for your answers!
Do you know the maximum temperature that the NB can get? Or the normal one...
I want to test if it's not getting to hot without the fan

I cannot see the option for face time of open and close in iphone 4s

Plzzz tell me no facetime option for on and off is nott comming in settings help me plzzz

There is no FaceTime app for the iPhone if that's what you're asking. FaceTime is accessible through your Contacts as one of the options in how to contact a person -- there is no standalone FaceTime app for iPhone.
If you mean how to disable FaceTime, you can do that in Restrictions (Settings/General/Restrictions).

Needing a multi-month and year-in-view option for ical!

Hello all!
I could really use a multi-month and year-in-view format in ical... I've seen some dated posts - is anyone aware of any new developments/options for this?
thanks and peace-
DW

I turn off all calendars but the birthdays. Select [Print]. Choose all the months you want to see. Deselect all calendars but birthdays. Click [Continue]. On the next menu, go to "Layout", select how many pages to print on the paper. I usually print a border around each calendar then you're good to go!
By only printing the birthdays calenar, you won't get too many appointments to get in the way of brain storming and future planning, yet the computer still thinks its printing a useful calendar.

BODS : Datastore options for SAP R/3 - need clarity for use

Hi All.
Another request to understand the datastore optiono n BOXI 3.1 BODS existing installation.
We are trying to pull a new table from SAP R/3 into BODS and we find that ABAP program is not getting generated as expected. And terminates. When we tested a simple workflow.
While creating a new datastore for SAP R/3 Source :
When we look at the datastore we find the following options for R3 Source ;
ABAP Execution option :
Execute preloaded
Generate and execute
Under data transfer method we find ;
Shared directory
Direct download
FTP
Custom transfer
Then we have working directory on sap server
local directory
generated ABAP Directory
Am testing a simple workflow of pulling data from SAP R/3 in a dev machine.
But am not understanding.
which option of ABAP Execution, and data transfer , path would work in co-ordination.
Because when i say direct download and say generate and execute it throws error.
Can anyone help me with combinations of the options to choose for a R/3 source. And the implications thereof.
I had created a folder under local bods server D:\Bodi. And given the path for data transfer.
But the files are not getting generated for whatsoever reasons.
Any advise on this would be helpful.
Also found a bit unusual, that there was no button to test the connection to be correct or not, a TEST connection button is not there. Which i felt, could be included.
Note : on the existing production system, we have chosen execute preloaded; shared directory on sap server. and shared that folder path for the user and given full rights. But while we try to do the same on the dev machine a test before transporting on production, a simple workflow does not work.
would like to know what settings on sap server, really affect the data store options on the BODS
thanks

Indeed, BODS <> SAP connectivity can be tricky.
For a development environment, I suggest you select the option "Generate and execute" for your "ABAP Execution Option." What this means is that DS will create, on the fly, small-ish ABAP programs. These ABAP programs will be written, in plain text, to a local directory on the DS job server, in the folder specified in "Generated ABAP Directory". You can see them in there after an attempted job execution, assuming the job involves the creation of an ABAP program. The ABAP program name is specified in the properties of an ABAP data flow, under Options > ABAP Program Name. If you can't, perhaps the DS job server process doesn't have full rights to that folder - ? After being generated on-the-fly, they'll be transferred to SAP to execute. The SAP user you use to connect to SAP must have sufficient rights to upload-and-execute these ABAP programs, and that's a fairly substantial set of rights. What's required is documented in the BODS supplement for SAP. Often, to get things running, your friendly local Basis admin will grant SAP_ALL to the DS user, to see what rights are being invoked.
Once all that jazz is working, you need to get the data back. There are a number of ways to do this. The method of data transfer is specified in "Data transfer method," where, ignoring "Custom transfer," you have three choices:
1) Direct Download: easiest and slowest. This method tells SAP to attempt to stick data in the client-side folder specified in "Local directory." Try this first.
2) Shared folder: This is recommended when you have SAP being hosted on a Windows box. Basically: you set "Working directory on SAP Server" and "Data Services path to the shared directory" to point to the same folder. SAP uses the "Working directory on SAP Server" to find this folder, and DS uses the other setting. So, for instance, if you were going to use the Shared folder method, you could set "Working directory on SAP Server" to "E:\BODS_Transfer", and, assuming E:\BODS_Transfer was shared-out as "BODS_Transfer", you could set "Data Services path to the shared directory" to
dev12.somecompany.com\BODS_Transfer . Then, you'd need to setup all the relevant security, as both SAP and DS need rights to read and write files in this folder.
3) FTP (this is the method I usually use): SAP writes the "transport files" you're after (i.e., the data) in the folder specified in "Working directory on SAP Server". Then, you need to establish ftp connectivity to that folder from the DS job server's perspective, which you do by entering the ftp host name and the path to that folder in "FTP host name" and "FTP relative path to the SAP working directory". In my opinion, the "relative" business is a little confusing, and I just typically enter the full ftp path, beginning the path w/ a forward slash, like "/usr/sap/tmp/BOBJ" or something like that. You also need to obtain a separate username and password for the ftp connectivity. Note that this name and password has NOTHING to do with the SAP username and password; you're just setting-up DS to act as an ftp client. I strongly encourage you to test ftp connectivity by using a regular ftp client from the DS job server and attempt to connect to your ftp host using the username and password you were given, and attempting to fetch some sample test file. If you can't do this, manually, then DS won't be able to do it, either.
Best wishes,
Jeff Prenevost

Can't see pricing options for Creative Cloud. :'(

Two things, Adobe:
1. When I try to click the "See All Plans" button on this page (Cloud-based software and services for creatives | Adobe Creative Cloud) I'm taken to a blank page (except for the unhelpful footer). The error console on my browser says there are a couple of errors, which are usually where this comes from.

test_and_target.js:1:132 -- ReferenceError: Can't find variable: mboxDefine
I would love to see the pricing options for this service that you've built into all of your applications, but apparently I can't.
2. Apparently the forum is the only way to tell you guys about technical problems?

How do I use my iPad with Retina Display model MD514LL/A with apple tv? I see no option for airplay and I have the latest update.

I am having trouble mirroring my ipad with my new apple tv. I don't see any options for airplay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is your apple tv also up to date?
Are they both on the wireless network, or is the apple tv using an ethernet cable?
Reboot your wireless router, your apple tv, and your ipad, in that order.
