Please tell me how to install ThermalRight SI-120 on Diamond Plus

Hi!
I bought this cooler and I'm afraid of installing it.
I mounted the special retention module and after that I tried to install the cooler without a CPU installed on the mobo. I pushed it as hard as I considered that it won't damage the mobo, but I didn't managed to install it and I stopped, being afraid of causing damage to the mobo.
If there is someone that has this cooler installed (preferably on Diamond Plus), please help me with some advice.
I don't want to mess things up.
How is it better to install? With the heat pipes facing the memory, or facing the back side of the computer case?
Thank you very much!
Your help is greatly appreciated!:)

With a bit of attention and a little bit more force, I managed to install it.
Boy, that was hard...
That's what I call a big hug (between a cooler and a CPU (inexistent for now :P). 
Yeah... I have an XP90 & I understand that a 120 has a similar mount.
They are a b!tch! But you don't have to worry about 'em coming off by themselves!
For my XP90, I find that it is best to hold the whole thing firmly down with the palm of your hand & engage the clips. Don't release the pressure until you are absolutely sure that the clips are in.
If you have to remove it, make sure that it's firmly held down before popping off the clips or the thing will snap up to the side with enough energy to forcably remove the CPU from its locked socket. As the HS fits to the top of the CPU with enough pressure to suction itself to it with the thermal compound in place.
Not good!
You can remove it safely by doing it immediately after shutting down the system - the paste will be softer. After unhooking the clips, twist it gently from side to side until it comes loose.

  • Could you please tell me how to install "ThumbsDown" add on. I keep trying but it is greyed out. Note that I successfully added the "DownThemAll" add on.

    I greatly appreciate any help you can provide in getting the "ThumbsDown" add-on to work on my imac. I am using "thumbsdown-0.22.2-3.xpi" with Firefox 33.0. I would like to go to a site like "http://hqcelebrity.org/thumbnails.php?album=302" where thumbnails are shown, get the links to the high resolution pictures and batch download them all. ( I can batch download the thumbnail pictures with "DownThemAll" or with "Outwit"), but not the high resolution pictures.
    I tried installing "DownThemAll" but it seems to be greyed out in the Tools menu, and there is no icon at or near the location of the successfully installed "DownThemAll" icon. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated. Also, If you know an alternative to "ThumbsDown", please advise.
    Thanks kindly for your help,
    Sincerely,
    Bradley Katz

    Hello,
    The ThumbsDown add-on appears to have last been updated over a year ago. You may want to email the developer to ask that they update so that it is compatible with the latest version of Firefox. Please see the articles [[Unable to install add-ons or extensions]] and maybe [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]].
    If you are sure that you want to install the add-on regardless of potential issues, you can install this extension:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/
    I am not entirely sure how it works, but it sounds like you may need to go to your '''about:config''' page to change the '''extensions.checkCompatibility''' preference to false once it is installed. You might then be able to enable your ThumbsDown extension.
    Note: you may want to back up your profile first, please see the article [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] for more information.
    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

    AppleWorks is a very old application and requires Rosetta to run under recent systems.
    Lion does not include Rosetta.
    If you browse this forum you will find many posts on this issue.

  • Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
    "Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
    Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
    With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
    I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

    Both psd and tiff are the two formats to use for your master file. Saving as a jpg will flatten the layers and remove any trace of transparency. Tiff has an option in the save as dialog box to compress the file.
    If you find it necessary you could zip older files for archiving.
    Once the raw file has been opened in photoshop, it is no longer considered a raw file, as photoshop has no way to save to that file. Which is why you need to save as a psd or tiff.
    That said, camera raw dialog box and Lightroom will save its edits to a sidecar file, which is why they are considered to be non-destructive. Since you can delete the side care file and start again. It is the combination. Of the raw file and the side car file that ends up in photoshop. Which is one reason why it is recommended to do as much as you can in camera raw or Lightroom first. But the latest version of photoshop allows your photoshop filets be loaded into camera raw as a filter. So that recommendation is not as important as it once was.

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  Insert the disc into the
             optical drive and restart the computer.  After the chime press and hold down the
             "C" key.  Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
             dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
             OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current. Start by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Please tell me how you got the computer to reboot again once it was on the black screen saying "setup is inspecting your hardware configuration?"

    Hi,
    use the power-switch on the left backside of your iMac to turn your Mac off.
    Use it again to restart your Mac and hold down the Alt/Option-button to get to the Boot Selection screen.
    Choose OSX.
    Once in OSX go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and reset it to use OSX as the default.
    Am I right assuming that you try to install Windows XP on a new (2011) iMac ?
    If so, XP is no longer supported by Apple for use/install With BootCamp.
    But there are some success stories when using a XP with SP3.

    Hello friends , I have started with writing  c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

    I have started with writing  c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
    Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
    If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend  Emacs   but it has a long learning curve so  something like TextWrangler  will work too.
    As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
    good luck
