Removing the NB fan

Hi
I am trying to make my pc quiet and I wonder:
Has anyone any experience with removing the NB fan, or replace it with a heatsink.
Mitch66

As u mentioned before.... NB Heatsink barley warms, and still I get readings of 56-60 °C !!!! Can't be, cuz my CPU heatsink feels a LOT hotter when at 50 °C so I guess readings must be faulty. Hopefully that'll be fixed in BIOS 1.7 (btw: anyone know when it's gonna come out ??)
Still i wanna ask the following:
My Sapphire Atlantis 9700 gets REALLY hot, especially the memory. It's not overclocked but I'm still worried. I can't get objective readings, but when i touch the memory with my finger it feels damn hot, hotter than CPU heatsink under full load (readings 56 °C)
Any suggestions??? (I already put some CoolerMaster RAM-Heatsinks on, still is damn hot)

  • How to remove the Southbridge fan - K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI

    How do I remove the Southbridge fan on the K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI (MS-7100) motherboard? It is apparently gone bad and I got a replacement from MSI, but they did not include any instructions.
    Thanks,

    sk545,
    I am afraid that there is no other way to replace the stock cooler unless you grab the plastic pins with a plier on the backside of the motherboard and push to the forward direction so that the chipset cooler spring mechanism is released.
    DONT dry it yourself if you are not experienced, find help from an ecperienced person... or you may end up with damaging the board...
    If you like just to lubricate just use any contact cleaner can product and spray between the fan plates and towards the center of the fan for about 5 seconds. Rotate the fan manualy several times and power up your system.
    Markoul
    p.s. you dont need to take everything outside the case in order to replace the cooler... just unscrew the board and unplug anything preventing you to flip aside (90 degrees) the board so that you can work at the board's backside

  • Removing the heatsink/fan from a geforce fx 5600 vtdr

    I am trying to remove the heatsink and fan from my gfx card but i dont know how to do it.... i dont want to force it( coz i dont want to break it and have to buy a new one)
    i dont know if this a solution is posted anywhere on this forum becoz everytime i try searching i get a server error, so if anybody can point me in the right direction that will be great.

    It was in the "Sticky Threads Please look in here before you post" Thread under Miscellaneous items at the top of this VGA forum..
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=12335
    It's really easy, all you have to do is pinch the ends of the pins on the back side, you have to be really careful once the backplate is off because you'll have to pinch them again to get them through the board. ( and there are usually small components nearby )

  • SmcFanControl 2.2.2 and 12-core Mac Pro (picking the right fan to cool HDs)

    Hello,
    quite recently I've moved from my previous Mac Pro 8-core (the earliest model) to the latest Mac Pro 12-core.
    I've successfully used smcFanControl with my old Mac, and the fan names listed in the app's preferences were matching the fans listed by iStat and by smcFanControl in its dropdown menu. In the new Mac Pro there are more fans, not all of them match the names listed by iStat, and some names are "false friends". Please note though that all the fans listed by iStat show up also in the dropdown menu of smcFanControl
    Here's the fans list in the preferences of smcFanControl, in this order:
    CPU_MEM
    IO
    EXHAUST
    PS
    Here's the fans list in the dropdown menu of smcFanControl and in iStat (I'm using the capitalization and order used by iStat, smcFanControl uses always all caps and names "Power Supply" as PS, plus adopting another ordering):
    PCI
    BOOSTA
    BOOSTB
    Exhaust
    Power Supply
    INTAKE
    Now, the mapping looks also weird. Here's the mapping tested by increasing the speed of each fan I can control via preferences:
    CPU_MEM == PCI
    IO == Power Supply
    EXHAUST == EXHAUST == INTAKE
    PS == INTAKE
    BOOSTA and BOOSTB run always at identical speed, and their speed is usually slightly less than 2X the speed of either Exhaust or Power Supply, whichever runs faster. Anyway they don't appear to be controllable via smcFanControl.
    Interestingly, the mapping seems to be related to the order of the fans in the dropdown menu of smcFanPro. The first four fans listed there are:
    PCI
    PS
    EXHAUST
    INTAKE
    My main problem currently is that I haven't yet found a way to keep the HDs at about 40°C or slightly less as I used to do with my old Mac Pro, unless I increase a lot the fans speed, which on the other hand brings down the CPU and RAM temperatures at quite ridiculous levels (basically only a few degrees more than ambient temperature, about 30° these days). What's worse, I haven't found exactly which fan affects more directly the HD temperatures. Increasing only the speed of a single fan never seemed to be enough, unlike with the old Mac Pro.
    So, here are my questions to anyone using smcFanControl 2.2.2 on a Mac Pro 12-core:
    1) Do you believe I should reinstall smcFanControl to get the correct list of fans? Or is this a known issue? (please note that I started using the new Mac by using Apple's migration utility, so also smcFanControl was "copied" from the old Mac like all other apps) If I have to reinstall smcFanControl,do you know if I should clean/delete specific directories or files to remove the old fans list?
    2) Do you know which fan cools down most the HDs? I have four HDs so all bays are used. I've looked around quite a lot but I haven't found any diagram showing the fans position inside the Mac's case
    Thanks a lot in advance for your reply and best regards,
    Giovanni

    Put a fan in lower optical bay blowing on the drives? just kidding though.
    Some drives now like WD Black 1TB+ do run normally at 40-41*C and that is in part because they are now engineering parts to be safe at those temps to reduce on cost of cooling and going green which can have a huge impact on data and server farms by just 5*C warmer.
    My WD 10K VRs run COLD as can be and always have.
    My advice is set the rpm for all fans @ one speed and then have 2 or 4 profiles: default, medium, high and extreme. Default is 499 for one and 599 for others. 900 rpm is just about when fans can be heard. 1200 rpm for more active cooling and 1800-2000 rpm for high.
    The idea is in part to prevent it from getting warm first and then the system kick up the fans. Harder to get heat out of the case once it is there.
    I think you are trying to "over-control" just a bit.
    Prefe ences are in ~/Library/Preferences or just delete all the profiles. It probably has an uninstall.
    I trust Temperature Monitor (freeware)  or paid version (Hardware Monitor) a bit more than iStatPro.

  • Removal of system fan

    Hi Guys
    Can anyone tell me how you remove the system fans as i need to replace it, i can't seem to find any clips anywhere, my motherboard is the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, and the fan i'm talking about is the one above the graphics chip, NOT the CPU
    Cheers Guys

    take the motherboard out of the case
    pinch the heads together on the underside of the 2 small pins
    they splay open like a rawl plug does
    and pull them from the front
    then once they are both out twist it to break the suction of the grease

  • My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

    My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

    Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

  • Can I use my time capsule with a bad hard drive as a wireless router if I remove the hard drive?

    I have a 500 GB time capsule with a failed HD (i've repalced the whole machine with a new time capsule).  I cannot get past the start up when I plug it in and the light glows a solid amber.  If I remove the hard drive can I use it as just a wireless router to exted my network?

    Yes, although the existing power supply might go bad before long.. you can run the TC as just an AEBS..
    It is a fairly easy job to get the hd out.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule
    Key to it is using hot air gun or even a hair dryer on really high temp lowest fan and spend enough time getting to glue to soften.

  • G5 Dual 2.5 CPU Power PC will not boot unless I remove the Plastic Sheild.

    G5 Dual 2.5 CPU with 4 gb of memory will boot everytime if I take the plastic sheild out. I bought it from a guy who would turn it on then let it sit until the fans revved up after about 5 to ten minutes. I figured out that it would boot everytime if I removed the plastic sheild. Now I am trying to find a permanent fix for this issue.
    Thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

    I don't think its just a plastic shield and door - there is a contact switch that signals when these are removed and the fans rev up to a higher speed. My guess is its the higher speed of the fans that's keeping things cool during the power surge of the boot stage thats allowing it to startup.
    When the doors are on and the fans are kept low there must be some hardware failure that is occurring during boot up - that seems to be prevented when speeding the fans up. And after the initial boot up power surge, things run cool enough that I can safely put the plastic shield and door back on and the computer keeps running fine (it ran OK all night).
    I can think of no other logical explanation at this time.
    Any other ideas?
    What puzzles me, is I use this computer to do some heavy 3D graphic renders and have run it intensely for days at at time with absolutely no sign of failure during operation once its booted up. I've never had a freeze or anything like that. So when its so reliable during operation, why so fragile during boot up?

  • Restrict Standard User from not removing the COM-Addins registered under HKLM with Admin rights.

    Hello,
    I have developed a COM-Addin for word 2013 by VS 2013 and installed it under the HKLM with Admin rights. Now from an non-admin account, ie Standard User I'm able to uncheck that addin from the COM-Addins dialog and remove it also. Previously I have done the
    same thing for word 2007 addins and if a non-admin user tries to uncheck it the warning "The
    connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed" pops
    up. But this is not happening for office 2013 apps(basically word, excel and powerpoint). 
    This is happening for all Add-Ins installed under HKLM.
    How can a Standard User be restricted from unchecking and removing the Office Addins registered under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE with same warning "The
    connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed" in
    a pop-up box?
    Regards, Sayan

    Hi,
    The behavior is changed since Office 2010. Office 2010 and Office 2013 allows a standard user to turn a per-machine add-in off by unchecking the add-in in the COM Add-ins dialog.
    To restrict Standard User from not removing the COM Add-ins, we can try to add the add-in to
    the Group Policy option: List of managed add-ins in the Office Group Policy template.
    Word for example, the policy is under:
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Word 2013\Miscellaneous
    To enable this policy setting, provide the following information for each add-in:
    In "Value name", specify the programmatic identifier (ProgID) for COM add-ins, or specify the file name of Word add-ins.
    To obtain the ProgID for an add-in, use Registry Editor on the client computer where the add-in is installed to locate key names under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins.
    To obtain the file name of an add-in, click the File menu in the application where the add-in is installed. Click Options, click Add-ins, and then use the Location column to determine the file name of the add-in.
    In "Value," specify the value as follows:
    To specify that an add-in is always enabled, type 1.
    Hope this helps.

  • Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.

    From http://xlr8yourmac.com/
    Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.
    When we were testing V0.5 of SpeedIt we discover a strange behavior, if we remove the battery of our MacBook the temperature drop because the maximum operational frequency of the CPU become reduce to 1.0 Ghz.
    We were investigating more on this, and we found why this happen, the SMC subsystem when battery is not detected, activate the Thermal Trip indicator and the CPU get into Thermal Throttle, reducing the frequency to 1.0 Ghz and minimum voltage.
    You will find this and other "hidden features" with the documentation of the upcomming version of SpeedIt.
    We decided to published this in advance because a user "no-one" write about this matter on the forums. He is a good tester we'll liek to take him in account . More information on the forums.
    Apple Mac Intel SMC Firmware Update
    We have been testing the lasted firmware update and the conclusions are:
    * The fans run at more revolutions always.
    * The Temperature drop more or less between 5 to 10 ºC
    * The voltage values of the CPU change.
    * The MacBook is cooler but more noise.
    * To get into sleep need a minimum of 5 seconds, after
    you close your lid.
    * Don't put in your bag until you hear that the fan
    stop, some times the MacBook don't get into sleep.
    More detailed report and data soon.

    yeah its pretty ridiculous that an individual pays all that money for a machine that Apple continually trumpet to be better than a PC machine and then it falls down at these niggly little turns.
    Other machines, can run at full speed with battery of, no ?
    Why is it ridiculous ?
    If I use my unit for some hardcore music / video editing sessions, I will take it off the battery so Im not constantly charging / recharging the battery - is that ridiculous ?
    Am I going to be pis%£% when my expensive machine, I paid mad dough for is going to perform like a snail as opposed to what it can really - YOU BET !
    "Beeing a picky customer is a MUST in this case. I realy don`t understand the people who are trying to protect this company no matter what happens. You HAVE to remember that it is not a privilage for you that you own Mac. It is a privilage FOR Apple that you decided to spend big time money on their products. It is your DUTY to be picky and strict."

  • How do i remove the housing that covers the cpu

    i may have to replace the cpu fan because it's acting uo,,,,like LOUD. there's a huge housing over it and i can't see any way to remove it. it's flush to the back of the case. how do i remove it.
    thinkcenter m52

    Please have a look at your Hardware Maintenance Manual >>> http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/39j8289.pdf
    and pick out which machine type you have (8xxx or 9xxx) starting from manual page 90. From the exploded view, which item are you looking to replace? Generally, #2 or 3 is the system power supply, presumably with the fan you're describing?
    I don't know if the fan can be replaced independent of the power supply unit. If so, hopefully another member will be able to advise you.

  • Replacing the main fan in a Dell Studio 1558 laptop.

    Looking around online, it seems that my laptop model was doomed to fail, but so far I've encountered no problems besides the annual attempt by Windows 7 to disown my bluetooth module. Anyways, recently I started having serious issues that I tracked down to my RAM going bad. I replaced my old sticks with a new pair from Best Buy, upgrading my memory at the same time, since I went from 4 GB to 8 GB. They've worked just fine so far, but I also bought a pair of air dusters and cleaned out the innards that I could get to with the access panel off the back of my laptop, as well as getting the vents of course. Unfortunately, I doused my fan in a little too much dust when cleaning out the back vent, and now it's making a faint, high pitched whine. I suspect that it's going out, and any attempt at further air duster use makes it cycle between getting a cringingly loud high pitched whine to it, not working at all, or getting back to a soft whine that I can deal with. I know there's not really much choice, even though it's keep my system cool really well now, it has to go before it truly breaks.
    How much would it cost to have Best Buy replace the fan? I bought this laptop through Dell directly back in August of 2010, though with how long it's been, where I got it may not really be a factor anyways. I know the fan is still available, both refurbished from Dell itself, and from various other places. The fan being replaced is the primary thing I need fixed or (more likely) replaced, but it would be nice to have an estimated cost break down of having that done in addition to getting the GPU fan checked (there's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 video card in my laptop) and perhaps the GPU and CPU and so on professionally cleaned off in general, with the heatsinks checked and fresh thermal paste applied, if needed. I know about all that stuff, but I don't know nearly enough to trust myself to do it without screwing it all up. Even getting to the fan in my laptop is just not simple enough for me to be comfortable doing it without any training/experience in laptop maintenance. I need this laptop to last a couple more years, and a little preventative maintenance while it's all apart to get the fan replaced seems like a good idea in order to try and ensure that it does last.

    From what I am reading in your topic you are stating
    -You bought from Dell
    -Do not have a current geek squad protection plan
    The only option here to my knowledge would be this:
    You need to have them to order this part
    https://bestbuy.partsearch.com/Part/Dell/Dell/STUDIO1558/Dell/Dell/W956J/New.aspx
    You need to also pay whatever their repair fee is for this service(it varies) I am unsure as to how much they charge for the repair service itself, but I know virus removal is normally $150-200.

  • How to attach the chipset fan

    I have the K8N Neo Plat.  Ok, I picked up one of these chipset cooler fans from compusa:
    http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=291975&pfp=SEARCH
    **I'm not going to remove the stock chipset heatsink.  I just want to install the fan on top of it**
    The fan is already screwed onto a metal plate that seems like it could be easily glued to the existing nvidia heatsink.  So, can I just use the thermal paste that comes with this thing to attach it to the chipset heatsink?  Or do I have to try and get those two white headed screws out and use them to hold the fan on?  Should I try and remove the Nvidia logo plate from the top of the heatsink first?  
    Thanks for any help

    Fortunately, I have a very simple question:
    I have a fan already.  I have the stock heatsink in the mobo.  I just want to know the best way to attach the fan that I have to the stock heatsink.  Can I just glue it on with the thermal paste that came with it, or do I also need to screw it down?

  • How the heck do you remove the Open Firmware?

    Ok so here is the problem. I have a Powerbook G4 (the A1095 model). Now first off ever since I got the thing the second ram slot never worked. But my main problem is that anytime I try to boot form a DVD, use the Firewire, or reset the PRAM and NVRAM I keep getting asked for some password and a big lock button shows up.
    Now after many weeks and almost completely giving up I found out that somehow open firmware was used to put in a password. Now I have tried absolutely every password I have ever used, and even some other things and nothing works.
    I honestly don't know how this was even set but if it was from me it was obviously an accident. Now the other thing is that I don't have any ADMIN password. I have it set to blank so you just hit enter to login/install things. I wonder if this has anything to do with the open firmware issue???
    I have tried as I said searching apple.com and many many many many many other places to find a way to fix this problem but can't find anything even close to a possible solution. I have 3 OSX boot disks, I have even tried using an Umbuntu CD to attempt to use the disk utility on there but nothing works.
    To anyone out there I have tried letting the main batter AND the PRAM battery run dead and that still seams to change nothing. So I imagine its a saved file someplace on the main board. Oh and I also removed the Hard drive, and PRAM battery and attempted to boot like that but still nothing works.
    I can boot up and use the computer just fine. Surfing the web, installing programs, etc. all work fine. I just can't use the FireWire transfer or Boot from anything but the main HD.
    Please someone help me with this. I need to get my personal information off this computer and reinstall OSX on it. Oh and last thing, Im not sure if it has anything to do with it but the rear two fans do not seem to work either. My other G4 Powerbook seemed to have the same problem too though. Replacing the fans on that one fixed the issue.
    Anyway I waisted over $500 to get another laptop (one model newer) all because of this problem and I really need to fix this so I don't have to worry about my personal information and I can finally either use it or sell it. This is such a frustrating issue, what can I do???
    THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP OR AT LEAST POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GO TO THE APPLE STORE. I HAVE FIXED PROBLEMS THEY COULDN'T BEFORE AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE $300 BILL TO HAVE THEM INSPECT IT, PLUS THIS MODEL IS OUT OF DATE AND THEY WON'T FIX THEM ANYMORE ANYWAY. FYI TO ALL YOU EARLY MODEL G4 USERS!)

    Since http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352 says:
    Warning: The Open Firmware Password can be reset and changed by any one of the following (except MacBook Air):
    1-By any administrator user, as designated in the Accounts preferences (or in Server Admin).
    2-Via physical access to the inside of the computer.
    3-When the computer is started up in Mac OS 9.
