What are some of your system temps?

Hey all.
Out of curiosity, I was wondering if you all could post your System temps and your CPU temps. I am running Folding @Home now 24/7 and I just want to compare some of yours with mine to make sure I am doing ok.
I just got a new case and installed an 80mm exhaust fan in the top center, another 80mm exhaust towards the top on the back of the case, a 120mm intake in the front panel, and have another 80mm intake in the center of the side panel.
Before I was Folding the idle temp for CPU was 109F. 42C.
Idle SYSTEM temp was 98F. 36C.
Now that I am Folding the CPU is always at full load so now my temps are always around 112F. 44C. for my SYSTEM and 125F. 51C. for the CPU.
BTW, this is with the FSB set to 143, 1.85V for CPU, and 2.7 V for Memory. The ambiant temp in the room varies between 68F. 20C. and 72F. 22C.
My main concern is when summer hits and the ambient temps go up to about 80F 26C.
Thanks.

I get the exact same TEMP with my volcano 9 but im not deaf.... lower the RPM to about 3500 with the pot. You dont need to run it at full blast, its way too loud. Just have a good air flow in the case and have it set to 3500 RPM.

What are some of your best practices for using videos in your marketing campaigns?

As video becomes more and more popular, what are some best practices you have for effectively using video in your marketing campaigns? Any cool examples?

Just saw this topic.
We use video a great deal in our campaigns. One of our best ones though was for an offering that the written word couldn't convey as quickly, succinctly, or visually even with graphics that a short commercial could do. We therefore created a simple video with professional VO work and blasted it out via email and social networks. The video clearly communicated our product and it's value to our prospects.
In return we got a enormous response of form submits from individuals wanting to download the products overview documentation. It is still one of our most watched videos.
We are now looking at adding in more value-add videos to go along with the current 'product information' stable to help generate more soft-sell opptys.
We are firm believers in using video. You can't just put anything out there and expect just because it is a video to do well. You must plan it carefully, think the messaging and value offered through just as much as any outbound offering. Time is still valuable and your prospects are always asking what's in it for me. Once they get something that they believe wastes their time, they will be more skeptical in the future regarding your videos or any messaging.
Keeping trust and relevance is essential to generating value with video.

What are some of your favorite packages / VIs?

After Hoovah gave me a link to his Variant Repository, I realized it was a very useful bit of code. This got me thinking: What are some other addins or libraries that people use, and why? Or maybe just one little VI that you find yourself using over and over.
To get it started, I have attached one such VI that will move a "pop-up" input window to your mouse location.

move panel to click.vi ‏38 KB

I made this vi several years ago and still use it all the time. We do lots of data logging here and the standard is a time stamp on column 1 and then data in columns 2-x.
The time stamp can be fed in or generated in the vi if the timestamp input is left disconnected.
It also takes a single dimension [DBL] array of measurements and file reference and converts the LV timestamp to OLE (Excel) time.
The thing I like about using it over other methods of writing a spreadsheet file, even XLR8, is since it uses file references the data file is locked so if you try to open it. You can still open it in Excel but only read only. This allowes LabView to still be able to write to the file when you are viewing it in Excel. I know you should not do that, but everybody here does it.

What are some of your favorite practices in GUI design?

I saw a conversation a few weeks ago about LVOOP vs Clusters for passing around data that I found fascinating - and quite informative. I thought I'd try to open up a discussion about GUI design and see what I could learn.
Edit: to give an example, I have found that I have taken an irrational dislike to tab controls. Instead, I use clusters with a few supporting VIs. Switching the "tab" will just make the proper cluster visible, and the others invisible. Set each cluster as a type def in the project and just edit that for when I need to change something. It lets me already have all of my control data bundled, and as a bonus sorts them automatically in Event structures.

So to sum up:
Tab Controls -- Bad
Subpanels -- Good
I wouldn't go that far. I generally need to be more organized in my block diagram when using tabs, but that doesn't mean they are bad. Have a state in a state machine for updating each tab. Then when updating the UI look at which tab the user is on, and only update those UI elements.
There are other limitations to tabs that frustrate me, like .Net controls sometimes do weird things in tabs. And some times I would have too many tabs and it starts to add rows which get all kinds of confusing. In these cases I would hide the tabs and replicate the functionality with a single column listbox which changes the tab value. But at that point it would be just as easy to insert a different VI into a subpanel.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - not universal binary.)
6. LaCie SilverKeeper (Freeware - not universal binary)
7. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

VOTE FOR YOUR BEST ADDED PLUGIN. WHAT ARE SOME PLUGINS WELL WORTH THE $$

Always like to see peoples opinions about added plugins for logic pro.
WHAT ARE SOME GREAT PLUGINS WELL WORTH THE MONEY?
TYPE OF SOUND CAN BE SYNTHS/EFFECTS WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

i've stopped using external plugins cause it always ended up with some issues :
- plugins would have some bugs
- plugins would need to be updated all the time, and the new version would mess up with my songs
- automation would not work properly
- settings would not have been saved properly with the song ...
of course i'm exagerating but :
- logic already has plenty of plugins all sounding well and covering everything you need
- i don't master half of them yet
- there's always a way to achieve the same sound of an other plugin / technic, may it be less easy
- any of my songs could be opened with any Logic Pro 7 in the world
- i feel like plugins are the new video games. my friend don't play video game anymore, they download plugins and rave about the latest ones. i don't need plugins to get creative, and when i have an idea of a sound or a song, i've never thought "**** i need reaktor" or anything.
just my two cents !

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

What are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac?

I have been editing with Final Cut Express since 05 and I want to be able to do fancy visual effects I cannot do with Final Cut Express so I put it to you; what are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac? I know there is Adobe After Effects but I am wondering if there are any others, including from Apple.

Or does it? Because by purchasing Motion, you also get the Pro Res codecs and Animation. Will FCE be able to work with them if they're in your QT library? I think so but am not positive. I'd check with the FCE gurus in that discussion forum.
So I half answered my own question. FCE will respect the alpha channel in a PR 4444 file. But from the limited testing I was able to to, there doesn't seem to be a way to export it ( or other flavors of PR) as a PR sequence. It renders as AIC, which is fine. FWIW, it can always be exported as Pro Res via QT Conversion, but why bother?
However, I now have to say – despite what I said in my first post – that I'm not 100% percent certain that the all the codecs will be available by buying Motion. I'm like 95% sure, the more I think about it. But I have too much NLE and graphics "stuff" on my systems to test it conclusively.

When trying to send a pdf for multiple digital signatures, it keeps erroring out. What are some reasons?

I am having trouble sending out a document for digital signatures for multiple people. I enter the signature fields and click on Distribute. It then allows me to choose the receiving parties. I click on <SEND> and it processes for a moment and then I receive the following two errors: "Failed to send" followed by "Form distribution is aborted". It was working for me earlier and isn't now. I am fairly new to Acrobat and especially Digital Signatures. What are some possible reasons I am getting this error?

I finally got the document to send out by unclicking the "Collect name & email from recipients to provide optimal tracking" button, however, the responses come in as anonymous, so it's not real helpful with tracking my responses. Plus, I don't know if I'll encounter problems with follow up. The normal tracking system allows me to resend a message to those who have not responded. Now I guess I would just resend the request to those I have determined have not signed. Still working through the bugs but I'll update what I know and figure out here. Perhaps I will come to a solid solution and give a better summary.
As of now, I am sending and receiving responses... but the recipients have to change the received file to save as it is coming to them as read-only. Seems like this should be a whole lot less complicated.

What are some cool things you can do with TWO Macs (one MBP and one MB)?

What are some interactions that can happen between two Macs?
I have a MacBook Pro, and my sister just bought a MacBook for herself.
I can sense that there must be something cool we can do between them, because it's Apple !
Any input would be appreciated, thanks and happy holidays.

You can use Bonjour to setup a file-exchange network easily and efficiently.
You can use iChat to create a video conference on your home network.
If you are into power processing, I personally have set up a miniature render farm with 3 machines all processing 3d scenes to make my own 3d movies and special effects.
You can share music through iTunes music sharing, and listen to each others music, video, and whatever-else libraries.
And thats all I can think of as of now. Hope that helps!

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
Thank you
p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.

It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.

What are some ways to tell if my charger is frayed?

What are some ways to tell if my charger is frayed? I plan on going to the apple store soon and asking, However I will busy for the next couple weeks. I know
that you wont be able to say for certain, just best guesses. I am not sure if its fraying or just improper use because I bought the laptop from a small computer shop near my university. It is a late 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch(Not sure if that extra information helps but just in case ).
