What temperature is acceptable for non-OC'd P4-2.4c?

I've had my new MSI board setup for 3 days now. It's averaging 58-60 degrees with stock Intel fan. That seems a little high compared to what some people are posting they had.
I'm wondering what range I should be shooting for. Obviously cooler is better, but that's also depending on how much you spend on a cooling system. Going out and buying an expensive cooling system defeats the purpose of me trying to buy a cheaper processor and mobo. I don't need anything super expensive, but what are the temperature ranges that are "OK"? Is 58-60 acceptable?

Careful what you use to clean off the stuff from the IHS and HSF:
Suggestions from the Arctic Silver website:
Quote
Thermal pads are made with paraffin wax that melts once it gets hot. When it melts, it will fill in the microscopic valleys in the heatsink with wax. To minimize the permanent contamination of the mounting surface with wax, the thermal pad should be removed before it is used and melted. Never use heat or hot water to remove the pad, the heat will melt the wax into the heatsink.
... Thermal pads can be scraped off with a plastic tool that will not scratch the bottom then the remnants can be removed with a xylene based cleaner, (Goof Off and some carburetor cleaners) acetone, mineral spirits, or high-purity isopropyl alcohol.
Never use any oil or petroleum  based cleaners (WD-40, citrus based cleaners and many automotive degreasers) on the base of a heatsink. The oil, which is engineered to not evaporate, will fill in the microscopic valleys in the metal and significantly reduce the effectiveness of any subsequently applied thermal compound.
Quote
Clean the mating surfaces completely with a low residual solvent (High-purity isopropyl alcohol or acetone will work) and a LINT FREE cloth. (i.e. lens cleaning cloth or a coffee filter) If another thermal compound has previously been applied to the heatsink, the mounting surface should be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned with a xylene based cleaner, (Goof Off and some carburetor cleaners) acetone, mineral spirits, or 99% pure isopropyl alcohol. It is important to keep the surfaces free of foreign materials and NOT to touch the surfaces (a hair, piece of lint, and even dead skin cells can significantly affect the thermal interfaces performance, especially on modern small core CPUs as the surface area is already severely limited). In addition, oils from your fingers can adversely affect the performance by preventing the compound from directly contacting the metal surface. (Fingerprints can be as thick as 0.005")

    It is interesting to monitor the temperatures but only if you know what temps matter...
    What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card? 
    I was not sure if this is the document of choice for the CPU or not. I was not sure I was decifering it correctly either. 
    http://download.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/318589.pdf
    Any one know what we should be watching for as far as what is too hot? 
    I have a ThinkStation D10.
    Did not see this in the user manual but could have missed it. 

    I found my specs:

    You are correct. An E series. 
    I was so focused on the upgrade to the X5420 that I forgot what the system came with. 
    So what should I set my sensor high value to on my sensor program that shows up on the panel (taskbar)?
    For the E5405 or the X5420? 
    SIDE NOTE: where can I get 2 E5420s or better cheap?

    Like the bulk of the X series...
    The E5405, E5410, E5450, E5440, E5420, E5430, E5470, E5462, E5472 are all 80 watts.

    4.what accounts are generated for Non-Valuated material & for Consignment material?
    please explain me.

    Dear Srinivas,
    Please find below the explanation about both materials in a simple manner.
      "Non valuated material".(UNBW):
    For this material type in the basic settings only Qty. update is active & no value update.
    No accounting data is maintained in Material master hence stock values are not updated.This material is procured only with account assignment.
    Consumption statistic is updated only after Goods Issue.Whenever material will come its value will be always go to consumption account.
    Consignment Material :
    In this case material is still owned by vendor & only kept in your premises. Liability only starts when you withdraw material from consignment stock or post it to your own valuated stock.Liabilities are generally settled monthly.
    At GR wrt PO material is directly put to consignment stock of vendor.It is possible to post another GR into consignment stock.No valuation takes place during GR.
    Once the material is withdrawn from consignment stock( For prod) it is valuated with the price of vendor in as per INFO record.
    If useful reward points,

  • Dock Adapter in iPod Classic Box--What Is It Good For + non-video iPod Doc?

    I bought a 160 gig iPod Classic yesterday and it came with a small dock adapter (looks like a snap in type item). What is it for? I looked at the dock for my iPhone & the dock for my non-video 60 gig iPod (can't remember which generation--it's color display & does pictures), but the adapter did not work in either dock. Is it meant for docks like the Bose Sound Dock?
    boldSecond question:bold I tried using my iPod dock with the iPod Classic, but it did not work--it felt like it was loose. Does anyone know of a way to get a dock to work with the iPod Classic?
    TIA,

    How hard is it to change out the dock adapter inserts?
    Easy peasy. Just lift out the old insert and clip in the new one. Takes seconds.

  • What is current CommSuite support for non-ASCII passwords?

    Hello all,
    Some of our users managed to change their passwords to non-ASCII strings (via replication from MSAD by ISW) and no longer have access to their communications services.
    While replicating the problem, I have set a (UTF-8 non-ASCII) string as my password in DSEE directly, and *can* log in to Convergence with this password. However, if I change the working password to a non-ASCII string from Convergence itself - it is accepted during the secondary password check, there is no error returned, SOME password is apparently saved into the LDAP directory, but neither of the original non-ASCII plaintext strings can be used for login back into Convergence. Restoration of access is only doable by admin at this point.
    Checking email by IMAP from Thunderbird no longer works with a changed non-ASCII password (including the state when it still works for Convergence).
    Delegated Admin has an explicit check for non-ASCII characters in the password and refuses to set a misbehaving one.
    I see that among the standards supported by CommSuite, there is IMAP4rev1, and RFC 5255 refers to it as the reason that non-ASCII passwords and usernames are for now not supported, though this is expected to be a temporary state of things, and software can prepare for the future by implementing checks for valid UTF-8 strings as well.
    https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Messaging+Server+Supported+Standards
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5255
    5.1.  Unicode Userids and Passwords
       IMAP4rev1 currently restricts the userid and password fields of the
       LOGIN command to US-ASCII.  The "userid" and "password" fields of the
       IMAP LOGIN command are restricted to US-ASCII only until a future
       standards track RFC states otherwise.  Servers are encouraged to
       validate both fields to make sure they conform to the formal syntax
       of UTF-8 and to reject the LOGIN command if that syntax is violated.
       Servers MAY reject the LOGIN command if either the "userid" or
       "password" field contains an octet with the highest bit set.
       When AUTHENTICATE is used, some servers may support userids and
       passwords in Unicode [RFC3490] since SASL (see [RFC4422]) allows
       that.  However, such userids cannot be used as part of email
       addresses.
    So, the main question at this point is: does or does not all of the CommSuite stack support non-ASCII passwords?
    If no - please confirm, so we can instruct the users to not create problems for themselves (and maybe manage to set up some policy to not accept non-ASCII passwords to MSAD/DSEE in the first place).
    If yes - what should be done to enable support in Convergence/IMAP/SMTP/XMPP/WCAP/WABP/... services - perhaps, setting the LANG/LC_ALL locale environment variables or equivalent JVM flags for UTF-8 in server startup scripts, etc.? (I know that DSEE ldapsearch requires either envvars or a command-line flag for charset encoding of values, so I figure similar quirks may be relevant for some other software)
    Thanks in advance for either response,
    //Jim Klimov

    I can't respond for the suite, but the Messaging Server product should work with UTF-8 usernames and passwords as long as the standard SASL authentication mechanisms that are documented to use UTF-8 are used (e.g. SASL PLAIN). IMAP LOGIN may work fine with UTF-8 as well even though that's non-standard. We do not implement SASLprep, however, so the strings provided by the client to the server must be identical UTF-8 strings for authentication to succeed. If they are provided in a different decomposition, different canonical form or non-standard charset, that's not supported and will fail. We don't test this scenario extensively, so you may encounter bugs (that we'd have to prioritize and fix as with other bugs). Messaging Server recently implemented a restricted option (broken_client_login_charset) for a customer who was stuck with broken clients that sent ISO-8859-1 for the IMAP login command arguments.

  • What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

    What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
    On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
    Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
    I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
    Respectfully,
    Nate

    This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
    The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
    No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
    Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
    1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
    2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
    3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
    4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
    5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
    6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

    when i try to edit my payment info there is no option for none next to the list of credit card types. what do i doooo!!?? please help!

    I have used some iOS apps that allow both selection and disclosure by replacing the regular Disclosure indicator with a Detail Disclosure button. A list item would only show the detail disclosure button when it has children.  Touching the row will select it; touching the Detail Disclosure button will drill into the children.
    Disclosure indicator.
    Detail Disclosure button.
    You probably cannot just configure the storyboard to work like this. But programmatically controlling button appearance and segue to child view controller is straightforward.
    This might not exactly follow Apple's UI guidelines since the Detail Disclosure button is intended to show details about an item rather than the item's children.

  • Custom resource/attribute not visible in FIM portal for non-admins

    hi all
    I have a problem I am not able to solve and hope somebody can help. We have created an custom Resource in the FIM portal called Customer. It is an User Resource Type and  attribute type customer, data type=reference.
    We have made this attribute visible in the Users Properties by editing the RCDC for Configuration for User Creation, Configuration for User Editing and Configuration for User Viewing. It is now visible for alle users in the FIM Portal.
    But when an non-admin searches for an attribute in that Field, nothing shows up.... only member of the administrator set, are able to display the results.
    I have added the Resource to Filter permission - Administrator Filter permission + non-administrator filter permission.
    I have added the Resource to MPR - General: Users can read non-administrative configuration resources?
    Can anyone help?
    Best regards Andre
    Andre

    Hi,
    To be clear,
    You have create one new resource type 'Customer' and one attribute 'Customer' (Reference, binded to Person object)
    Update RCDC for Person (create/edit/view) to add a picker attribute with those parameters
    UsageKeywords: This is an optional string property. You can define a list of search scopes to be used in the Resource Picker by providing a list of the usage keywords that are supported by the SearchScopeConfiguration structure, where each keyword is separated by a (‘).
    ResultObjectType: This is an optional string property. The resource type is used to render resources in the pop-up dialog-box list. This is used with the Filter to help the Identity Picker identify what resource type is returned by the Filter, and render the data accordingly. This property is mutually exclusive with the UsageKeywords property (see above). When the search scope is applied, this has no effect. The string that is accepted for this property is any single, valid, resource-type name, for example, Person. When the filter is expected to return multiple resource types, Resource is used.
    Modify MPR "User management: Users can read attributes of their own" and "User management: Users can read selected attributes of other users" to add this new attribute
    Create a new MPR to give the right of all users to view new resource 'Customer' on all attributes
    Is that right?
    Regards,
    Sylvain

  • Problems realted to changing the language for non-Unicode programs

    Hi everyone!
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N.
    My Windows 7(464Bit) Ultimate,  and its base language, and display language is English.
    The Languages(English, French and Arabic) built-in (came re-downloaded and re-installed by the person who made the Windows disc installation). Thus, while installing Windows 7, those three lanauge listed for me to choose one of them to be the base language and display language, I have chosen 'English'. In the End of installation, there are three pre-packaged languages(English and French and Arabic) can be used as a display language.
    I would like anyone kindly to confirm for me why I have been facing these problems when changing  language for non-Unicode programs from English into Arabic.
    First: After I have installed the  AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (sp55092) 8.882.2.3000 on my laptop. The contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A: I found that contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic (second screen shot below, however, when click on any options, for example 'Graphics properties' shown in Arabic in, the second window is shown in English) while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, and it doesn't matter what format or location is.
    B- when I changed language for non-Unicode programs into  English.
    I found that contents of the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are completely shown in English .
    Second:
    A- Only All Arabic contents will be displayed encryptely while language for non-Unicode programs is English
    B-  All the Arabic contents are displayed properly   while language for non-Unicode programs is  Arabic.
    Third: an error extracting drivers and software downloaded from official HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A-  I noticed an error extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English and whatever location and format are:
    B- However  while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, there is no error extracting files.
    In conclusion, Is it normal for all of you the contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in your native while  langauge  used for non-Unicode programs is your native lanague, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English?.  IF so I would be saying that if I have wanted the  contents of documents written in my language Arabic to be shown properly, then then I must let the language for non-Unicode programs be Arabic. Is this happens with you as well?
    Also, if I need extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website, then language for non-Unicode programs must be in my Arabic lanague English and whatever location and format are. Is this happened with you as well?
    I would highly appreciate any clarification from you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi cooperator,
    I saw your post regarding the language questions and I will be happy to help. What are you are experiencing with the languages is normal. The base operating system is in English and while you can change the display language the core kernal of the operating system would be in English.
    The reason that the Intel Graphic and Media Control Panel is in English and the rest in Arabic is because the driver would have been designed in English and is hard coded as into the driver but the display language is set to Arabic. So when the language is set to English everything will be in English.
    The reason you having issues extracting drivers when you English set at the language is because the HP website will determine where in the world you and when you download the driver it will be the appropriate language for the country you are from. So when it extracts it will look for the proper extraction path using Arabic but everything is English. It work no problem when you are on Arabic because the driver can read the path properly.

  • Temperatur​e Reading for Thinkpad T510 Usage

    Hi All,
    I got a question regarding the standard / acceptable temperature operating range for the thinkpad t510 laptops. So my setup currently is my t510 is connected to an external monitor, external speakers, external keyboard and mouse. So it is essentially a desktop except using the innerds of the laptop as the "heart" of the system. My power manager has set the cpu to be adaptive. The temperature readings I am getting for the CPU and the Motherboard from downloading the program called Speccy from Piriform are at an average of 60 and 61 degrees C. I am wondering if that is within normal operating temperature for the laptop and if it is acceptable. Or is this temperature not ok and the reason why it is so high is that I am using the externals. Also, I am not even using heavy load work for the laptop besides for web browsing and listening to music and working on documents / spread sheet so basically office work.
    And lastly, would the temperature problem be solved if in the future I would to get a w530 laptop since those laptops are more "powerful"?? Or is that wrong and the temperature is normal.
    Thanks in advance for answers

    Is it because of the confined space or is it because the cpu is i7??
    Either or both, It also depends on what you're doing with the T510. If the CPU is running hard that will definitely raise the temperature compared to idle/light load. 
    Make sure the fan air exhaust (and intake if the T510 has one) grilles aren't obstructed. Leave a few inches to let air circulate.
    Also consider:
    1. Place plastic or wood spacers below the unit to raise it an inch or so above the desktop.
    2. Use a USB-powered notebook fan base/pad to circulate air beneath the unit.
    Neither will make a huge improvement but they'll both help.
