Where's the "System Temp" probe? (K8T-Neo)

Where is the "system temp" probe located, and what does this measure? I've seen other posts asking this question and I can't see a definitive answer.
The reason I ask is this:
I've got a nice copper Zalman heatsink that keeps my cpu cool, around 30 idle and 40-45 under load.  The "system temperature" is always hotter than the cpu, at least 40 and can get up to 50. I stick my hand in the case and the air is no where near that hot, so I figure its reading the temp of some chip on the board, ie the northbridge (ok I know its not really the nb, but lets just call it that.)
I stuck a 4cm fan on the stock passive nb heatsink and this had very little affect on the "system temp."  So either that temp probe is not on the nb or the stock heatsink is just lame. Anyone got any ides?
Another question --- what does the V-Link DATA 2X bios setting do?  I've read that enabling it greatly improves "system performance."  But when I disable the SATA controller (as I have no SATA drives) the V-Link option becomes greyed-out, like the v-link only has to do with SATA.  Does it affect anything if I'm not using SATA?

Hi
The Winbond chip at top of board above Dimms and Bios monitors the temp, if there is hot air coming from the HDD bays, as chip is right under end of drive as a rule, just where all the cables and things are most likely to interupt air flow.  it can affect the temps. Its a good idea to direct air from a fan to that point.

  • Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

    Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

    What you need to change is Screen Resolution.
    You can change the screen resolution in System Preferences / Displays. On that pane you will see numbers like 1440 x 900. The larger the numbers the smaller the text on the screen. (The current setting is shown in grey.) Just experiment with other resolutions til you find one that suits you. You want to move down in the options to increase the size of the displayed text.
    When you select a new resolution, you have to confirm that it's what you want, else the computer will revert to the previous resolution.

  • Where is the system directory of JDeveloper 10.1.2.1?

    In JHeadstart 10g for ADF Installation Guide, it says the followings:
    If you want to be able to use JHeadstart Designer Generator: in <JHeadstartHome>\config\jdevaddins you will also find a file named migration.xml. This file must be copied to the system directory of JDeveloper, for example: <JDeveloperHome>\jdev\system10.1.2.0.0.1811. On Linux this directory is in the home directory of the user that is running JDeveloper: $HOME/jdevhome/system10.1.2.0.0.1811. The exact name of this directory depends on the build number of JDeveloper.
    But, there is no directory like <JDeveloperHome>\jdev\system10.1.2.0.0.1811 in JDeveloper 10g(Version 10.1.2.1, build 1913) New Aug 2005.
    Where is it?

    You have to start JDev 10.1.2.1 once before the
    system directory is created under the /jdev
    directory. The name will be something like
    system10.1.2.1.0.1913.

    You are right.

  • Where does the system preferences live? mine disappeared by the finder bar

    thanks,

    Do you mean it's gone from the Dock (bottom of the screen) or from the apple menu in the top right-hand corner?
    If you mean it's no longer in the Dock, just open your Applications folder and drag the System Preferences icon into the Dock.

  • Where does the System's Properties file locate?

    I have searched it in the path : Java_Home\jre\lib
    But i couldn't found.
    I want to add some Properties to it but i don't want to do it at runtime by using System.setProterty().

    You can define preferences. But using these are more complex than system properties.
    No matter how you define the System properties in the end setProperty or setProperties needs to be called at runtime. These properties are runtime settings.

  • Where are the system preferences for internet access?

    I had to re-install 10.6.2 with a disk formatting... all went well and I manage to go online .
    But I notice that my old system preferences are not back in place... I don't have all the connection settings I used to have and in which I had a manual IP address for a school ethernet network connection.
    Where can I find them?
    Can I just drag them back into my computer?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a backup of your entire previous system, you could try looking at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.identification.plist . I'm not 100% sure that's where the information would be stored, but it looks promising. If you think you would recognize the IP address when you see it, open that file from your backup with a text editor and scan through for the IP address. Then enter it in your network settings.
    If you don't think you'd know what you were looking at, you could try moving that file from the backup to the new system, but I'd take some precautions. Move the newer copy of that file to the desktop temporarily, then restart and see how things work. If anything goes wonky, put it back, replacing the older file. If after a few days all is well, trash it.

  • Where are the system extensions in Tiger?

    In Mac OS 7-9 system extensions and control pannels were easy to find. Where are they in OSX?
    John

    John,
    The Preference Pane package files are located in the following folders: Macintosh HD/System/Library/PreferencePanes and Macintosh HD/Library/PreferencePanes
    Having specified their location, I would add the caveat that I do not endorse altering the files or moving them to another location.

  • Where will the System.out.println write to when using OC4J -9iAS 9.0.3?

    Hi:
    We are using OC4J 9.0.3 that is bundled into 9iAS 9.0.3 on Windows 2000. We are starting/stopping OC4J using Enterprise Manager Web Site. Is there a way to display java logs (System.out's in the code) somewhere when we access a web application that is deployed on OC4J?
    If not, can we start/stop oc4j using console in 9iAS?
    When I start it like
    C:\9iASHOME\j2ee\home>start java -jar oc4j.jar
    even though it looks like Oc4j is started, I get an Internal Server error when I display a page. I can display the same page whenever I start oc4j from Enterprise Web Site.
    Thanks!!

  • I want to use the default Apple desktop pictures but also add my own. Where are the system desktop pictures located?

    I like the default images Apple provides for the desktop but would like to add my own.  I have desktop pictures set to change randomly every minute.  Is there a way for me to add my own images to the categories (like 'Plants' or 'Nature') that are already in the Desktop and Screen Saver preference panel?
    Thanks!

  • Where to put temp probe for system temp?

    I just unpacked a thermaltake 80mm smart case fan. It came with a thermal probe(thermocouple) for temp control of the fan. If I wanted to control the fan with the system temp what would be a good place on the board to stick the probe or should I let it "hang" in mid air in the case to get this temp. Where is the sensor that SpeedFan uses to get the system temp. If that is inaccessible what is a good location?

    Where do you place your system fan? You can put at the MOSFET area near to the CPU socket. That's one of the hottest place. Otherwise, just stab it behind your display card, that's also one of the hot spot.

  • K8T NEO FIS2R can't use the RAID controller....

    I have this very strange issue.
    As soon as I connect a harddisk to the Promise (378) controller of this board and assign it to an array, the system doesn't work like it should.
    Symptoms:
    - MS Windiag (a memory testing application) reports thousands of errors
    - Memtestx86 causes a spontaneous reset within seconds
    - I can try to install Windows, but the process never completes; during the installation everything works really really slow (partial XP installation takes over 2 hours!)
    - Linux gives me a kernel panic while booting
    My system specs:
    - MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (bios 1.5)
    - Athlon 3000+
    - 2x 512MB PQI memory (tested with GEIL/Kingston/Infineon memory as well, the problem persists!)
    - Radeon 9700
    - Levicom PSU (34A RMS on 12V line) (also tried Enermax 460W and Antec tru power 480W)
    - 2x WD Raptor 36Gb (RAID 0 array 1)
    - 2x Maxtor Diamond plus (RAID 0 array 2)
    - 4x optical drive
    I just can't figure out what's going on here... if I don't use the onboard RAID controller everything is fine.... but I need it for my two arrays... (besides that, it should work, shouldn't it?).
    Is this perhaps just a bug in the BIOS of my system? If so... MSI please resolve this issue, my computer is worthless for the time being.. :(

    YAY! This memory tester seems to work correctly..!
    If I put a single module (PQI memory) in DDR slot 1 I get loads of errors. In slot 2 and 3 they work just fine. When combining two modules, using slot 2 and 3, I still get some errors (32, all above 1000Mb)... but it's the best I can get out of my 1Gb.
    Is it safe to assume that this is a compatbility issue that can be fixxed by buying some supported memory?
