Thermalright IFX-14: How to make it worth the money

Right, I spent 2 days pondering on how to get this going like it should.
Thermalright's IFX-14 is certainly a mixed bag. It's the best air cooling you can most likely buy, but getting it to work is the hardest part of it.
My story:
Day 1: It arrives, I try numerous positions, fan setups, etc etc. All failed to beat my Scythe Infinity by a very big margin.
Day 2: Tried spacers underneath the springs on the screws, worked much better, BIG drop in temperature. Couldn't even keep 3.6GHz overclock stable previously - but still wasn't beating my Scythe. I then tried controlling the airflow like so:
After looking at the Titan Amanda I came up with that idea. However it failed badly, so I gave up on it.
Then I added 1 more spacer, 5c off - still not beating the Scythe however... Tried adding another spacer, wouldn't work what-so-ever! Cut my fingers badly trying to get it to work.
By now I wanted to throw it in the bin and bash it with a hammer a few times to make me feel better.
While I was going to get the hammer I walked past a dead socket 754 mainboard. I saw the screws that hold the rear plate in place. I thought that would work!
The idea:
And it did just that... It caused the perfect amount of pressure I needed.
They look very promising!
CPU went down 6c, cores went down 9c from the Scythe.
This is the torture I've put the bracket through and will still continue to do so:
Now to put it back in the case...

Nice job, dude...
I hope Intel will redesign their heatsink retention method for the next cpu socket. This is a common issue for Thermalright, Scythe, Tuniq and lots of other coolers. They also need to improve their IHS, most Core 2 Duo's are far from flat.
My Scythe Ninja did an excellent job on s939, the same on my E4300 s775 cpu. It's very different with my current E6600, temps are way too high which is limiting my OC to 3.25 GHz. I already lapped my cpu, but no difference. I guess the Ninja just isn't pressed down hard enough by the default s775 retention clips, I might try some nuts and bolts soon. But still, it shouldn't be necessary...

  • How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

    How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

    The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

  • How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
    So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

    iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library,  Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
    data elements that are embedded within the media files
    data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
    No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes.  Using your example:
    the value of the track number element is 1
    the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
    the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
    Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
    completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
    dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
    then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
    the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
    that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
    Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works.  There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step.  However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

  • How to make restriction for the description of value in the transformation

    one infoobject AAAA which has value T001, T002, T003...
    the description of value
    T001 - Heywemay
    T002 - Heyrtya
    T003 - Tyuatyew
    I need to make routine in the transformation, when the description of value that contains "Hey", then we need to load it into infoprovider, otherwise we need to delete data package. Now the issue is  the filed in source is only Key, not description. But, we had maintained the description for infoobject AAAA. Anyboady know how to make restriction in the transformation, ?
    that means we only need to load data into infoprover once the description of value that contains "Hey". Should I add field 0TXTMD into infoprovider and make the link from infoobject AAAA? Thanks for any input.

    Hi,
    Write the Start routine to delete complete data packet whic won't have "Hey".
    DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE TXTMD NP '"Hey'.
    If  you want load the data with blank for that InfoObejct if it won't contains "Hye".
    Write this code at TXTMD infoObejct level.
    if  SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD NP 'Hey' .
          RESULT = ' '.
      elseif SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD CP 'Hey' .
          RESULT = SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD.
      endif.
    Note: In the above code I'm giving logic to do the same, but for code corrections please check with ABAPer.
    Thanks

  • How to make iTunes detect the new location of music files?

    Hi everyone. I moved all of my music to a different location on my hard drive, and I changed the location in iTunes preferences, but it doesn't seem to detect this, so my library is empty now. I saved an itl, xml, and temp file as well, but I don't know what to do from here.
    I also tried dragging the new music folder onto the "Library" entry in iTunes, and this added everything, but I no longer have my ratings, playlists or anything like that.
    Is there some other way to have iTunes detect the new location? And can I get back my ratings and playlists?
    Thanks.

  • Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.

    hi,
    Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.
    I want to add comapny address on the layout.
    Regards
    Mave

    If you mean the correspondence, you have to change the configuration in Financial Accounting -> AR and AP -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Invoices -> Carry Out abd Check Settings for Correspondence. There, you need to assign your custom Program or Layout for the Correspondence Type (like SAP19) and Program.
    If you mean the display layout in transaction FB03, You can change a few settings, mainly with BKPF and BSEG fields. I don't think you can add company address, though.
    Good luck,

  • Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS worth the money for Final Cut Express?

    Hi,
    I'm considering a new iMac 24, but not sure if the speedier on is worth the money.
    Currently I use a MacBook Pro 2.2 for Final Cut Express with a 23" cinema (mostly DV, some HD) and that works okay, but won't play back in real time when I composit video.
    Anybody know if the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS will help in that area?
    Thanks,
    KC

    The speedier video card is great for 3D stuff, but it won't matter a wink for Final Cut Express, which barely makes use of the video card.
    Keep in mind that Final Cut is using the CPU, not video card, to perform the editing, decoding, and encoding of the video. The only time the video card comes into play is during playback of the video, and any of the video options available for iMacs will handle that just fine.
    When you composite video, the hard-disk throughput will start to come into play. The dinky 5400 RPM disk in your laptop will adversely affect the performance of that.

    SUBJECTS
    Enterprise Resource Planning Systems: This unit allows students to develop an appreciation of the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems on businesses and to understand the issues involved in the design, implementation and maintenance of these systems.  Students also develop practical skills in the use of SAP R/3 as an example of an Enterprise Resource Planning System.
    Business Process Engineering: the strategic and organisational issues of process and workflow management and the use of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPs) to realise efficient processes.  The subject describes the major strategic approaches, process modelling techniques, procedure models and the current possibilities offered by SAP R/3 as an example of ERPs software that students are likely to encounter in identifying, reorganising and implementing processes in a typical business organisation.
    Management Information Technology: a framework for the management of information technology. Management issues may include: the strategic use of information technology; information technology architectures; information systems planning; information technology investments; and security and privacy and outsourcing.
    Supply Chain and Logistics Management: the concept of supply chain management in the context of movement and storage of components and goods in the spheres of material management, physical distribution and transport and its practical business application.
    Organisation Change Management: organisational design; organisational changes processes and organisational development and change; and skills and competencies in the diagnostic processes for assessing the need for change and the development, implementation and evaluation of change strategies at all organisational levels.
    Enterprise E-Commerce: the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems with E-Commerce and the issues involved.  Many large organisations have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems to integrate their business processes.  These same organisations are now attempting to extend their supply chain via E-Commerce business solutions.
    Enterprise Resource Planning Systems Implementation:  the basic methodologies, techniques and tools that are used in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems using SAP R/3 as an example.  Many large organisations are making decisions to implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems but the implementation is complex and requires specific project management skills and knowledge.
    Strategic Use of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems:  the strategic features of ERP systems and how these features can be utilised within an implementation.  Many large organisations have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems to integrate their business processes and are now attempting to gain further benefits by utilising the strategic features of these systems such as supply chain optimisation, customer relationship management, and data warehousing.

    I did my masters in just computer sciences, but if I had something like this available I would have gone for it. But there are a couple of factors to consider. One is will there be good campus recruitments and what is the rate absorption of candidates for this course. Second question, do I really want to persue this field as my career. ERP is the concept that revolves around the business. So you should have an aptitude for learning how a business operates and functions.
    The course curriculum looks good particularly because it includes topics on Supply Chain Management and Business Process Engineering which are relatively new.
    Another good aspect of it is that it is giving this course with SAP as an example tool. SAP is the leading ERP software company(and many more products are added to its portifolio now).
    Is it worth the money? That you have to decide. You can do a regular masters in computer science, but get a job in a company that trains you in SAP, and learn everything on the job or take some traning from SAP training academies and then start on job. That is one option. But if you want to persue a career in building products in the ERP/SCM areas, then a formal education in that area will be useful. But if you are just interested in implementing existing products then it is not a must.
    Hope I gave you some information that is useful. Please don't forget to reward appropriately for helpful answers and close when completely answered.

  • My friend is selling her ipod nano for 80$ Is it worth the money?

    My friend is selling her ipod nano for 80$ Is it worth the money? What are the pros and cons? Thanks. No scratches

    Hello Chibi_usa,
    What kind of ipod nano is it and how many GB?  Do a search in google or yahoo or ask and see what others are selling for. Do a comparison analysis. You can find your own pros and cons after doing this.
    Things that I look for:
    1. The model I want
    2. If it works
    3. If it has warranty
    If that iPod fits that criteria, then it may be worth it.
    Hope this helps.
