Quick answer needed for fan question!

OK, I have read all the threads on the fan noise and downloaded XRG 1.1 to check my fan speeds. As I surmised, my fans appear to be running too fast (at all times). Here are the details.
CPU between 5% and 10%
CPU temp 120 degrees
Hard Drive 130 degrees
CPU fan 4400 rpm
Hard Drive fan 6000 rpm
System fan 4000 rpm
Do I need to reset the nvram? does this include having to pop the back off and reset 2 switches as I read on another post? any other suggestions?

Yes it's an original 20" iMac G5. I ordered it the week they were announced, and have an extra 512MB ram in there to bring the total up to 768MB. I know the fans will run faster and louder than they are now, because when I updated some firmware (for the little power light at the front) the fans ran at the default highest speeds and I almost thought the computer was actually going to fly away.
After putting the processor back to "automatic" and putting the computer to sleep for the night, when I brought it back up this morning the fans were in the 3000 range. Quiet. Amazing what 1000rpm can do. After running Safari and Mail for an hour or so, the fans are back up to the ranges I posted in my first post... not the fastest, but definately noticeable from across the room. Temperature and CPU loads never really changed much although the fan noise did.
Since the fans did start at a lower speed and then move higher, does this mean that the "button" reset inside will not work? or should i just go ahead and try? not really wanting to crack open the back if it is pointless...

    show parameter..?* At sql prompt enter
    show parameter PARAMETER_NAME
    or you can use the query
    select name, value from v$parameter where name='PARAMETER_NAME';
    >
    2)How do you get the information of hidden parametersThe hidden parameters start with an "_".They can not be viewed from the output of 'show parameter'
    or querying v$parameter unless and until they are set explicitly in init.ora.
    Use the query (make sure you have connected as SYSDBA)
    SELECT a.ksppinm "Parameter",
    b.ksppstvl "Session Value",
    c.ksppstvl "Instance Value"
    FROM x$ksppi a,
    x$ksppcv b,

  • Quick poll functionality for 10 questions

    Hi SDN Guru's,
    I have seen quick poll functionality for one question followed by answers,
    but i have a reauirement to have instant survey of 5 or 10 questions and get the poll is this possible with the current quickpoll if not how can we do that.
    please provide suggestions , alternatives workarounds
    Thanks in advance,
    Murali

    Hi,
       Quick Poll as name suggests is for simple and faster polls. So by default, it is meant to have one question only.
    1) If you want many questions, then you may have to create some JSP application for it and make it an iView.
    2) There is also option for using many campaigns, each campaign for each question. That way all the questions will be visible at the same time. But I'll not suggest it if all questions are based on same topic. In that case, only custom application will be better.

  • Use of two HH - quick answer needed - please.

    An enginer some three months ago, set up a HHv3 for the broadband and a HHv2 for the phone, so that I could continue to use the hub handsets and not have to replace them.  I do not have broadbandtalk.
    Want I need to know is: would in your opinion, this set up course the broadband to drop broadband connection, anything up to ten times a day?
    The lights on the HHv3 are: power light = on, broadband light = on and wireless light = on.
    The lights on the HHv2 are: power light = on, broadband light = off, wirelss light = on and phone light = on.
    Surely if both HH's as suggested by UK tech team were connected to the broadband then both HH's broadband light's would be on.
    The HHv2 show no connection since 10th January 2011.
    The HHv3 is connected to the ADSL side and the HHv2 is connected to the phone side.
    It would great if I could get a quick answer to this, as I am in the middle of an email back to the UK tech team.
    Thanks to all.

    sorry to say, but I don't think that the whole post is being read.  As if it were, you would note that one hub is being used on the ADSL side and the other is on the phone side, so in effect the hub that is on the phone side is just being used as a wireless phone and not connected to the broadband/ADSL and is not being used as a router.  I did also mention that the event log for the second hub the one being used for phone service only has no connection entries since January 2011.  Not even to the time server, so therefore is not being used for any type of broadband connection.  Even the broadband light is OFF.

  • @Ceroberts75-Need for Speed Questions !

    OK, This is in specific to Ceroberts75 and maybe also others... After People have reported some improvements in smoother and faster working of their N900 after the PR 1.3 update. The Need for speed Tips that Ceroberts75 has posted in his topic " Top 12 Maemo Issues and Fixes that Ceroberts" After the PR 1.3 update is it still required ?
    Following those tips for Need for speed, is it gonna make the device even more faster and smoother even after the PR 1.3 Update. is it still required after PR 1.3 update ?

    but if you still feel like there is a little monster lurking around the corner that is going to get you, then when you uninstall the swappolube, it will automatically go back to stock settings.
    this is the same for the transition control.
    as for the speed and which one you should use....that kernel that you installed, enhanced kernel....  all the different speeds are fine. i have 2 units locked at 1.15ghz since it came out and prior to that, at 900mhz.  i have yet to see anything bad happen, ie-phone catching on fire or burning my face, or discoloring my elppa casing...oops...was that my outside typing fingers?  anyway...i would not have put it up there if  it wasnt safe to do so.
    have fun with it...you will not hurt your device doing so.
    Hey Ceroberts75,
    Sorry if I am asking you this again, But I am still not really satisfied. I am OK with Swappolube, But I want to delete this events.d.folder that it created when I accidentally also clicked on the store Tab (pls check the screenshot). How do I delete events.d.folder. I checked my entire phone I could not find it anywhere where has it gone and is hiding.
    I am ok with Swappolube but I don’t want the events.d.folder to store anything.
    is the events.d.folder associated with Swappolube? So if I uninstall swappolube will it also go away with swappolube !!

  • Answers please for these questions

    Hi,
    The following are some questions which I have faced in an interview recently ... Can I get the answers for these ?
    1) In which format oracle stores the data ?
    2) How many cursors can I open ? If I want to limit the number of cursors what changes should I do ?
    3) Write a query using emp table, which shows only rows between 4 to 6 (only 4th, 5th and 6th record should be displayed) ?
    4) Write a query using emp table, which displays even records and odd records ?
    5) I have declared 3 procedures in a package declaration, if I declare only 2 procedures in package body, does it show any error ?
    6) If I declare a variable in package specification say x number and if I declare same variable within package body with some value, first of all, does oracle allow me to do that ? If yes, if I want to refer the value of that variable (declared in specification) how can I refer ?
    7) If i update sal of an employee from 1000 to 2000 (emp table), then I give select statement, after that I give alter command (to change length of ename), then give select statement again, then give rollback, then give select again .... what's value of sal for that employee (answer is 2000, since alter command commits all the changes to the database) .. Now my question is, if there are multiple instances running (with same username and password), can all the users see the change in the salary when the 1st user gives the alter command ?
    8) Write a query to display duplicate records of the table (taking emp table as an example)
    Regards

    1) In which format oracle stores the data ?
         http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/intro.htm#sthref35
    2) How many cursors can I open ? If I want to limit the number of cursors what changes should I do ?
         http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams138.htm#REFRN10137
    3) Write a query using emp table, which shows only rows between 4 to 6
       (only 4th, 5th and 6th record should be displayed) ?
    4) Write a query using emp table, which displays even records and odd records ?
         For both 3 and 4 the question you must ask is on what column the order is determined. I
         assume that the order is on empno.
         Answer for 3rd question.
         select *
           from (select row_number() over(order by empno) rno, e.*
                  from emp e)
          where rno between 4 and 6;
         Answer for 4th question.
         This is a home work for you. Hint is use the above query and modify a bit you get the answer.
    5) I have declared 3 procedures in a package declaration, if I declare only 2 procedures
       in package body, does it show any error ?
         You can try this by yourself. Just create it and see.
    6) If I declare a variable in package specification say x number and if I declare same
       variable within package body with some value, first of all, does oracle allow me to do that ?
       If yes, if I want to refer the value of that variable (declared in specification) how can I refer ?
            You can try this by yourself. Just create it and see.
    7) If i update sal of an employee from 1000 to 2000 (emp table), then I give select statement,
       after that I give alter command (to change length of ename), then give select statement again,
       then give rollback, then give select again .... what's value of sal for that employee
       (answer is 2000, since alter command commits all the changes to the database) .. Now my question is,
       if there are multiple instances running (with same username and password), can all the users see the change
       in the salary when the 1st user gives the alter command ?
            The answer would be YES. That is the purpose of COMMIT. Once data is commited
            then its visible to other sessions. And this one can also be tried by yourself.
    8) Write a query to display duplicate records of the table (taking emp table as an example)
         I will leave this one as home work for you. Hint is you can use eith GROUP BY or
         check out analytic function COUNT()...

  • Harm, looking for a quick answer on a RAID question...

    I bought a G-Speed ES drive with the G-Tech RAID card, set up the drive yesterday, initialized it (took 9 hours!) as a RAID-5, and in the initiallization settings window I was asked what sector size I wanted. I did some quick research and found that bigger sectors are better with bigger files, so choose the maximum size available to me under the hardware RAID, which was 4k (I'm assuming that's 4096). Came into the office this morning and found the drive had finished the initilization and that Windows required me to create a "simple volume" on it before it could be used. I'm in the process of doing that, and have found that Windows is asking me to set a sector size again: This time my maximum option is 64k. Do I want to go with the maximum option of 64k, or do I have to use the 4096 which the hardware RAID used in initializing the array?

    David,
    This may be informative: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-4k-sector,2554-3.html
    With a sector size or cluster size of 4 KB, data are distributed across the partition in 4 KB parts. Suppose you have a 10 KB file, three full clusters will be occupied: 4 KB - 4 KB - 2 KB. The remaining 2 KB is called slackspace and can not be used by other files. With a block size (stripe) of 64 KB, data are distributed across the array disks in 64 KB parts. Suppose you have a 200 KB file, the first part of 64 KB is located on disk A, the second 64 KB is located on disk B, the third 64 KB is located on disk C and the remaining 8 KB on disk D. Here there is no slackspace, because the block size is subdivided into clusters. When working with audio/video material a large block size is faster than smaller block size. Working with smaller files a smaller block size is preferred.
    Sometimes you have an option to set 'Chunk size', depending on the controller. It is the minimal size of a data request from the controller to a disk in the array and only useful when striping is used. Suppose you have a block size of 16 KB and you want to read a 1 MB file. The controller needs to read 64 times a block of 16 KB. With a chunk size of 32 KB the first two blocks will be read from the first disk, the next two blocks from the next disk, and so on. If the chunk size is 128 KB. the first 8 blocks will be read from the first disk, the next 8 block from the second disk, etcetera. Smaller chunks are advisable with smaller filer, larger chunks are better for larger (audio/video) files.
    What you see as 'sector size' from Windows is better called the block size and for video you can best choose the maximum, in this case 64 KB.
    BTW, also have a look at Adobe Forums: How to access more than 2 TB of disk...

  • Simple answer needed to complex question

    I said "simple" because, although a Mac user for many years, I have no knowledge of the tech angle (which gets me in trouble regularly.)
    In the last few days, my Safari started getting very slow on my iMac. I searched the forums and saw a suggestion that I discard a couple of files as well as "start in a safe mode" which required I do a restart with the shift key depressed.
    Here is where the strangeness began. Upon a restart after the safe mode, it would fire up, then after a minute or so, it would shut down. This happened a number of times.
    This is what I did: I started from my install disk and it fired up fine. I ran Disk Warrior and it resolved some issues, but said I had problems that could not be corrected.
    I had installed Application Enhancer a week or so ago and had no problems with the restart.
    Yes, I do have a number of 3rd party things, but have not suffered the failure to start that I now have.
    I guess my question is this: Have I done something that cannot be undone by starting in "Safe Mode" and if so, how do I undo what has been done? Also, what is safe mode and could it have corrupted something?
    By the way, I do not shut down any more or restart. I just let it sleep so that it will continue to run.
    Please, any suggestions (other than the obvious "reinstall Leopard") would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Which iMac do you have (would be helpful if you updated your signature)?
    I just recently read a post where several people had major problems with Applications Enhancer and needed to uninstall that app to get rid of the problems.
    When you ran Disk Warrior, what exactly did it fix and what were the problems that could not be resolved? Can you post or copy the screenshots/messages?
    Here's a link to the Apple article explaining safe mode:

  • Quick answer needed----Does Oracle ADF Mobile support Canvas in HML5?

    I am interested in Oracle ADF Mobile and want to develop a native mobile product on ipad maybe other tablet devices with CAD functionality. But I can't find a way to create HTML5 with Canvas on it. I wonder if Oracle ADF Mobile can do it. If so, how?
    Thanks
    Ling
    Edited by: 973623 on Nov 28, 2012 8:51 AM

    Hi,
    ADF Mobile comes with a rich set of Data Visualization Components (charts/graphs/etc) that's based on HTML5 Canvas. You would not need to develop your own set of HTML5 components. This is applicable to the new on-device version of ADF Mobile. You would need to create an ADF Mobile app, and create your user interface using AMX components. The graphics component set is call DVT Mobile AMX.
    If you decide to create your own HTML5-based pages with HTML5 canvas-based graphics component, you can still host your own HTML5 page inside ADF Mobile. However, you would need to create your own HTML5 page.
    Thanks,
