Warning Asus P6 and large CPU coolers

Over here http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=469282 is a thread about a memory problem, that turned out to be due to a large cpu cooler pressing on the back side of the motherboard
Solution was to use rubber-or-plastic washers on the back, so the cooler hardware was raised a bit from the back of the motherboard

Hi,
I just went from the stock cooler to the "Zalman CNPS9700 NT Ultra Quiet CPU" on my Q6600 (2.4Ghz). Its a big improvement in cooling and its quite large but fits nicely on the mainboard.
My idle temps fell from 44 degrees C with a room temp of about 17 degrees at stock speeds and now I have overclocked to 3Ghz and my idle temp is now about 30 degrees. Hits about 38 degrees after playing Far Cry 2 for an hour
Hope this helps!

P45 platinum and CPU coolers.

Right, looking to replace my current CPU cooler with more effective one but there seems to be a slight problem if one wants to get a proper tower-type cooler on this board.
Had a look at coolink corator DS and noctua NH-D14 ( or something like that) and their compatibility list on websites state pretty clearly that they won't fit because of excessive height of chipset cooling.
Same thing apparently applies to thermalrights silver arrow. Couldn't find any info about Prolimatechs megahalems rev 2 on their site.
So, what CPU-coolers have you been using on this board. I'm not afraid of slightly modifying them as long as it doesn't impact the performance. Slight bending of fins enough to make them fit or is there actually a cooler available that fits straight away?
Apparently Scythes Ninja \ ninja 2 fits, atleast that's what someone said on Scythes forum.

Took some pics from different angles. "Lots" of space all around. Fan covers ram slot 1 but that shouldn't be a problem if your sticks don't have large heatsinks on them.

Result in temps. With previous cooler would prolly have been 10 or so celsius more with these volts.

Z77MA-G45 clearance for large cpu heatsink?

Hi .
I am currently ordering parts to put together a quiet pc. I am looking at getting a Z77MA-G45 mbd but am worried that the heatsinks around the cpu area look tall so may restrict the use of a large cpu cooler. The CPU heatsink I am looking at is a 'scythe mugen 3.'
Can I assume that the Z77MA-G45 is a fairly standard design (heatsink wise) so the mugen 3 should fit without any clearance issues?
Thanks.
edit.... Quote from a Mugen review 'The distance between the lowest heatsink fin and the mainboard surface is 48 mm'
So I guess a simpler question is. How tall are the heatsinks around the cpu socket on a Z77MA-G45 please?

That cpu should fit fine. I have never used that paticular cooler but from the look of it: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/scythe-mugen-3_3.html#sect0
The mobo used in that picture has much larger heatsinks than the g45.

Safari hangs, beach ball and 100% CPU confusion

I'm struggling!
Safri 5.1 on Lion 10.7.3 and on both my Mackbook Air and iMac after the recent updates something is stopping Safar from loading. It just hangs, beachball kicks in and the CPU shoots upto around 100% with a "web process".
I've turned off and deleted all extensions, Flash, Flip4Mac, Perian, Ad Block, 1Password etc and restarted and the problem remains on both computers.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

CPU TIME and DB CPU events under TOP 5 TIMED FOREGROUND EVENTS section in AWR report

Is there any difference between "CPU TIME" event and "DB CPU" event when shown in AWR report under section "TOP 5 TIMED FOREGROUND EVENTS"?
As per my understanding of both these terms they indicate the same thing. But then if it is so then why have different names?
I searched around but the only relevant discussion that I found was as under, which didn't really cleared the doubt.
https://forums.oracle.com/message/2571255#2571255

In the article that you have mentioned - Jonathan Lewis gives you a very clear explanation. CPU Time is updated at the end of a query. DB CPU is updated every few seconds.
So the CPU Time may be less than DB CPU if there is a long running query that did not complete during the snapshot that you are reporting for. Conversly CPU Time may be larger than DB CPU if there is a long running query that spanned multiple snapshots but completed in the snapshot that you are reporting for.

Lightroom 5.3 peformance and faster cpu

I have an older laptop running an Intel 2 Duo cpu t6500 @ 2.1 Ghz with 2.87 GB of usable memory and a 32 bit operating syste. Since I have upgraded to lightroom 5.3, I continually receive unknown error messages which in the develop mode. I would like some recommendations for a 17" laptop that has good performance running lightroom and photoshop elements. With that said, I would like to keep the price of the machine under $1,000.
Thanks for any help.

I won't point to a specific laptop (as I have never bought one), but I do know that if you want better performance, you go for the most memory and fastest CPU that you can afford, and a 64bit operating system. In particular, if you are using a relatively modern camera that produces 16 megapixel (or larger) photos, I'm guessing limiting yourself to $1000 will not get you to a laptop that will make you happy with Lightroom.

Error: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: JVM cannot use large page

Hi,
i recently came across Error Message (coming up in webadmin Log view):
ProcessMonitor: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: JVM cannot use large page memory because it does not have enough privilege to lock pages in memory
when running Oracle NoSQL on Windows 7 64bit Home Premium system, having 8GB of physical RAM.
I created the store configuration without explicitly passing a value for parameter memory_mb (was set to -memory_mb 0), so that replication group would take as much
memory as possible, which found it's reflection in following line from store log:
Creating rg1-rn1 on sn1 haPort=tangel-lapp:5.011 helpers=tangel-lapp:5011 mountpoint=null heapMB=7.007 cacheSize=5.143.454.023 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4
I was a bit surprised because of the fact that i definetly succeeded in running kvstore in this configuration, leading to store using 7007MB of memory.
It was only possible to run kvstore when creating store configuration with memory configured to be less than 2GB.
After searching google with error message mentioned above i came across some hints regarding activation of Huge Pages on Windows 7, which mentioned that it could be
done on systems having at least Windows 7 Professional Edition.
But finally i found a more helpful hint, referring to size of windows pagefile. As my machine uses an SSD as system disk and there some notes on deactivating pagefile when
using an SSD, i did so some time ago.
So i activated the pagefile on windows again and after doing so, the store came up without any problems.
Maybe it's nothing new to some of you guys, but as there was nothing to be read about this fact in neither admin nor getting started guide, i just wanted to share this
piece of information with you.
Regards
Thomas

Charles,
thanks for clarification, obviously i've overseen that in chapter "Installation prerequisites" of
Admin Guide.
By the way, are there any specific OS related settings, let's say "best practice" similar as it is
referred to in documentation of "classic" Oracle Databases?

IPhone 3GS first gives warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID! Restoring failes with error 1002!

My iPhone 3GS suddendly couldn't connect to the mobile provider's network. As I was in a rural place, I though this was because of bad coverage. It was then still possible to use Wi-Fi. After a while the phone asked to connect to itunes and gave the following warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID.
I tried recovering it but procedures failes after hours with error 1002.
Is there a fix for this problem or do I need to go to a service center?

Thanks Carolyn, I've tried all the options, but still it does not finish the recovering process. It stops with still a half millimeter on the statusbar .
Will probably just have to go to a service center. I already read that more people have the same problem and no one found a solution. As I am abroad and my iPhone largely exceeded the warranty time, I wonder what they will charge.

Recommended CPU coolers for K7N2 Delta?

Hi guys, is there a FAQ or something with recommended CPU coolers that will mount properly on the K7N2 Delta series of motherboards?
Reason I'm asking is that I want to get a really nice cooler, but don't want to get stuck like I did with the ThermalTake Silent Tower (which won't mount on the motherboard due to no retention holes for the screws it needs).
Thanks for any advice!

Thats a nice looking cooler.

The Aero7 lite is better than the Aero7+.
Unfortunately I bought the Aero7+ and noticed that my Xdream heatsink is better.

High CPU & Memory issues - Excessive and unnecessary CPU usage in Firefox for Windows (see also questions1003966 & 998289)

I am using the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1, on an HP Pavilion dv7-4141sa laptop computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. There should be more than enough power here to run a browser without any problem, yet the computer is regularly being overloaded by the browser's resource usage.
I am currently measuring typical average CPU usage of 45% - with the browser minimised. That is to say, Firefox is not doing any browser jobs - it is not drawing on the screen - but it is using the most CPU of any process currently running. Why?
I am an ex-software engineer, and my understanding of current application development technology is limited, but I think I can say with some confidence that many techniques and software architectures exist that enable the suspension of program activity, or at least its reduction to a very low bare minimum, when the program is not actually carrying out its design function, which is in this case to draw pictures of website data on a screen.
There is a very serious problem here, one which means that I cannot run Firefox all the time, but have to kill it when I am not actively browsing, otherwise other applications cannot run to their full capacity. This is a great pity, because I have committed a lot of effort to making Firefox my primary web tool. It manages all my many bookmarks, contains my secure password manager (LastPass), manages my web security (via NoScript, AdBlock, and FlashBlock), just for a start.
Before any well-meaning moderators or other commenters start down the usual trail of "have you done this, tried that, disabled the other", I should point out that I have followed all the advice I can find, with no positive outcome. This computer is running a fresh installation of Windows, and a fresh installation of Firefox. At the moment I am running a new test Firefox profile.
The latest version of Adobe Flash, 14.0.0.179, is installed but disabled. When it is enabled and in use, Firefox's CPU usage seems high over longer periods, but overall there is little difference. It doesn't look as though the problem can be laid at Flash's door. A few other add-ins are installed, mainly those mentioned above, and Firefox is skinned with LavaFox v2-Green, but I have previously started from a clean installation, which has made little difference after an initial period during which things seemed to be better. Turning off or disabling various add-ons has made no discernible difference.
Just now I turned Flash on, and after a long period with Firefox minimised, Resource Monitor reported Firefox at 8% average CPU and FlashPlayerPlugin at 0.32%. While running a small video, RM reports FlashPlayerPlugin at about 45% and Firefox at 8%. After the video, Flash went back down to around 0.4%, and after a bit more browsing Firefox went to around 17% minimised. There seems little rhyme or reason here, except that Flash does not seem to be the culprit, although Firefox does seem to consume less when fewer tabs are actually active, as you might expect. I just refreshed more than a dozen tabs, and now Firefox is at 30%, but still not back up to the higher figures. Weird.
The CPU usage does vary a lot around the average, but 30% is still a lot for a program that shouldn't be doing anything above the minimum status maintenance, and still puts it at the top of my Top Process Monitor list. (Right now it's gone back up to 45%, without my using it in any way).
I have Telemetry turned on, so presumably Mozilla is recording some of the relevant data.
This is a very serious fault, which is more or less reproducible and which a lot of people seem to be experiencing. Probably more people have it than realise, because most users will not know anything other than that their computer slows down for some non-obvious reason; they may just think it's something to do with the computer itself, not knowing how to use the Resource Monitor and interpret the results.
Oddly, the problem does not seem to occur when running Firefox under Linux Mint 17, where the response is snappy and the CPU usage ostensibly low; I am going to look at this in more detail shortly.
I am not posting here for advice, but for information and as a form of bug report which hopefully other users will see. It will hopefully spare them a lot of effort and time in trying a lot of recommended "solutions" which will not work. The problem is inherent in the software, and can be solved only by Mozilla.
I am willing to supply any diagnostic data requested; as I said above, I have also turned on "Telemetry". However, I will not be trying out any more reinstallation/new-profile/add-on disable-enable-delete cycles unless I am asked to for very specific reasons. Please do not suggest courses of action which have already been mentioned elsewhere on this forum. I have tried them all.
The situation is very disappointing, but I have confidence that the Firefox developers will pin down the fault eventually and engineer a satisfactory solution that makes it viable to leave Firefox open all the time. Even with that restriction, it's still far better than the alternatives.

I share jmward's frustration. This is not a bug report so much as a request for a badly needed feature, ie the ability to have Firefox be able to tell us which tabs on which windows are eating time so we can target them. There are some very poorly written web pages out there which just plain loop while making no updates or inconsequential updates on the page.
This is not a OS problem; jmward runs Windows and I run Linux but we have the same issue. It is not a question of Firefox plugins or extensions, or even viruses; I have a new, clean Linux install but have the same problem on both my regular Firefox AND on a FRESH install of the latest Firefox (35.0.1) which has *NO* non-default plugins or extensions.
Here is an example of a web page which will eat 100% of one CPU's time:
http://patch.com/massachusetts/arlington/arlington-woman-allegedly-attacks-neighbor-snow-blower-0
I will attach 3 images to back up my claim. All of the images show my dark blue system monitor (gkrellm) superimposed on the web page. The top graph shows CPU time. I have 4 CPUs in my machine, so 25% means the web page is eating 100% of one CPU equivalent.
The first image shows the load of the offending page with elevated CPU usage along with the download net activity on eth0, but the CPU activity does not stop when the download activity is over.
The second images show the steady state 100% CPU equivalent of this page just sitting there apparently doing nothing. It IS, however, doing at least two different things. I know from my regular Firefox where I have "Remove It Permanently" installed that if I remove the the little weather indicator in the upper right of the offending page that CPU utilization drops to about 40% of one CPU equivalent. If I use RIP to remove everything else right down to a bare screen that 40% utilization stays until I delete the tab.
The third image shows the CPU utilization drop to zero when I delete the tab holding the offending page.
Now I will add a note here: If the offending page is NOT the top tab in a window then it stops eating time. The offender will also stop eating time if I minimize the window. However if I have another window up but leave the offender up on top in its window it continues to eat time even tho I am looking at another window. The offender will continue to eat time even if its window is completely covered by another window, and it will also eat time if I switch to another desktop.
I will often have half a dozen windows open, and there are many pages out there which will suck endless CPU time. Unless I want to open up a new tab on each window before I leave it there is likely to be some tab on top eating time uselessly. Get a couple of those going and Firefox becomes sluggish and can even stop responding for many seconds.
I guess I not only want to have Firefox tell us which tabs are eating time, but I would also like it if Firefox would stop giving CPU time to any tab which is not visible because it is covered by some other window and/or it is on a desktop which is currently not showing. If you can stop a tab's CPU usage by reason of tab-not-showing then you should also be able to stop its CPU usage when the window is covered or on the not-top desktop. Indeed is there any reason to not schedule absolute CPU utilization priority to the visible tab on the window with focus and give time to the other tabs only when the visible tab isn't using time?
My final thought on this is that I have had Firefox SO tied up sometimes that I swear their are web pages which are eating time even tho they are not the top tab. I regret that I do not have an example to show you. But Firefox grinds to a complete halt on a regular basis, and that is not acceptable. I am a programmer with long experience in multi-threaded programs so I *know* there is no reason you cannot do better. If there were another browser around which had the commitment to privacy which Firefox has I would probably switch out of shear annoyance. :-(

Hi cowboyincognito,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't have the option to play music by genre on your iPhone, try this step to find the Genre option:
Browse your music library.
You can browse your music by playlist, artist, or other category. For other browse options, tap More. Tap any song to play it.
To rearrange the tabs in the Music app, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.

High number of threads and high CPU usage on a single instance

Without any apparent reason, in some moments of day the website reports an increment of the HTTP Queue Length from an average of 10/20 queued requests to 100/200 and more.
In that period of time the Average Response Time increases but the number of the requests on the website don't. Even increasing the instances it doesn't help to resolve the problem (maybe it just reduced it).
It seems that the problem is not related to the traffic on the site. This issue happens either when the traffic is high or low.
The autoscaling works well, we don't have peak of traffic but always a slow increasing of requests and the CPU is always below the 50% (memory too). The issue is resolved by the swap of the site and sometimes it's resolve by itself after a while.
What I discovered when the issue happens, is that there's an instance (just an instance only), that has an high number of threads and CPU usage on the W3WP.exe process and these values are above the mean than the other instances. Eg, instances are around
50/60 threads and 10/20% of CPU, the instance with the problem has 200 threads and 50/60% of CPU. If I kill the W3WP process on that instance the issue is resolved.
I monitored the HTTP requests, I tried the website extension "Diagnostics as service" but I can't discover anything that can help me to understand the problem. Of course, there are many requests that go in timeout but it is a consequences of a
unresponsive instance.
On the web hosting plan there are only two sites: the production site and its staging which is used for update of the production only and it's always sleeping. Plus, no webjobs are running on this site.
What can I do to gather useful information that can help me to understand the reason of this problem?
Thank you!

"Does the instance with the high counts receive more traffic than the other instances? Is it possible that the load balancer not
working the way it should be?"
How can I get that information? I can't see metrics for a specific instance
"Does it always happen to the first instance?"
I will check it better, but in the order given by the Processes panel it's the second instance which has the issue. The scaling is at 2 instances for the most part of the time (it's the minimum).
Maybe one time it was the 3th instance but I'm not sure, I'll give it more attention.
" How long do these moment last?"
The time can be 10 to 30 minutes, but I fix it as soon as I see the problem. It's not the down-scaling to resolve it because in these situations the CPU as well is high so the scaling holds or increases the number of instances.
"- How often do these moments occurs?"
It occurs quite often, 2/4 times a week.

How could i get the kernel and user cpu usage for each process

Hi all,
In order to monitor the system CPU usage, I would like write a script to gather the kernel and user CPU usage for each process, like the prstat or top does. As always missing the shortlived kernel usage, prstat or top cann't get the precise CPU usage. I checked with the dtrace syscall, proc and fbt provider, but don't get which one is useful.
Please provide your comments and suggestion.
Thanks in adv

As I've studied the "dtrace" for a while, and seems Sun gives a pretty high score on this new feature.....I do want to know whether there's some probe can work for it, like writing a "dtrace" version prstat.You can write a prstat without dtrace. Because that's just polling at specific intervals and reading some process structures from /proc. You could have dtrace fire a probe every 5 seconds and read the same thing, but it wouldn't really be using any features of dtrace. Trhying to write it "in dtrace" doesn't make much sense.
What you could do that would be harder via other methods is to fire a probe at process exit that displayed the process information including total CPU time. They could print exactly when processes exited. Doing that without dtrace would be very difficult.

Web Gallery - need file name on thumbnail and large image

I think I have tried all the CS3 templates, but haven't found what our client is requesting. Is there a template that shows the file name on both the thumbnail and large image, and will make large images of 600-800 pixels (long dimension)?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Clark

Thanks for your reply Nini. Yes, I had gone through all the presets and options. Was hoping I might have missed something, or that someone knew a trick/workaround. We've been using Table-Minimal for years, which is my overall favorite. I like to ability to make a large image, but it can't do what the client is requesting. They've made a list of selects from some very large galleries (200-300 shots each), and now want to jump directly to the shots they've previously chosen, in order to show their coworkers. I've also considered "Add Numeric Links", but I find that either confuses people, or they give me that number, instead of the file name/number, which makes a lot of extra work for us.
