Z87-G45 - need some way to control fans

Hi, I have a set of Scythe Ultra Kaze fans that need some controlling, and my MSI board just isn't doing it. I know that the prefered method of fan control is through PWM fans (well after a few hours of googling I found this out) but I'm hoping that there is still some way to use this motherboard (through either software or bios) to control my 3 pin fans. I don't care for automation or anything like that, I just need to set my fans at around 50-60% power so that the noise isn't too bothersome.
I've tried getting speedfan to work and no luck, I've also tried the command center with no luck. I don't want to get a fan controller unless it can be tucked away behind my motherboard simply because I don't want the aesthetics of my PC to go down the drain with either a fan controller in the back panel or the front panel. Plus, spending extra money to do something all my other motherboards have been able to do so far is just annoying.

Fan controllers nowdays can be quite pleasing to the eye, and that would be my recommendation as being the ultimate solution. Some report that by not using the mainboard fan headers at all also extends the life of the boards. Not sure if that is fact or fiction though.

    Is there any way to control the fans under XP of a MBP?
    To stop the thing getting so hot - in OSX I use various - but XP?

    Also i want to say than you MUST control your fan in MBP not just in xp also in osx.

  • PLEASE HELP!! Need some way to read header text in advanced datagrid using QTP

    I am writing a function to read column names in advanced data
    grid. There is no operation for that and any of the properties that
    I can use to read the column names.
    Please suggest any way that I can get the names of columns in
    the advanced data grid.
    Thanks

    I hope to hear something from adobe folks...I am providing
    more info.....
    I am using QTP 9.2 and Flex 3 add-in available from Adobe.
    My application has flex Advanced datagrid object and I am
    trying to read column names for the datagrid.
    I have contacted developers and they told me that column
    names for flex advanced datagrid are stored in "Header Text"
    I have tried reading "Header Text" using
    GetROProperty("HeaderText") but it doesn't return anything.
    I have tried the following code:
    x =
    Browser("app").FlexApplication("flexapp").FlexCanvas("Canvas").FlexAdvancedDatagrid("esti mategridid").GetROProperty("Header
    Text")
    msgbox x
    I have also tried getting value for column names using other
    available properties for webtables like outerhtml, outertext, alt
    etc. but I don't get any data.
    Part of the problem may be because none of the above
    mentioned properties are supported by Flex Advanced datagrid.
    I have also tried getting child objects but I always get the
    data in datagrid as values but not the column names.
    My primary reason for getting column names is to write a
    function to update cell in datagrid independent of application. So,
    I want to pass column name as a parameter to the function and get
    the corresponding columnIndex in the function by comparing the
    parameter value against column names.
    Thanks to all for you help...

  • Z87-G45 and SOME USB 3.0 ports not appearing in tray/prompting to eject

    The 2 lowest USB 3.0 ports on the back panel (Nearest the sound connectors) of my G45 have a weird issue under Win 7 Ultimate. When I plug in a 2.0 drive into those ports, everything is normal i.e. the eject icon and eject warning appear in the tray as usual. However, when I plug in 3.0 drives, no icon or warning appear, but they're fully accessible through explorer etc. USBView reports they're running at full speed, so they're being identified correctly. These 3.0 drives have all the proper messages/icons in all the other ports, including the 2.0 ports where it even warns me that it can perform faster in a 3.0 port. I've tried all the older/latest drivers from Intel and MSI. And ideas or suggestions? Just trying to figure out if my board has a problem or not. Thanks!

    Do you just mean they aren't treated as removable drives?
    There was an issue that was resolved via bios update similar to this.
    Might want to try upgrading to the latest.

  • Right clicking - I need some sort of driver...

    Hello!
    Well, I recently acquired a new Logitech Wireless USB mouse, mainly for use with my Powerbook running Tiger. I currently have the USB reciever attached to my Keyboard, with I use for both the Powerbook and my 400mhz Sawtooth G4. Under OS 9, the G4 won't do a "right click" as I had assumed. I eventually realized that the reason I thought OS 9 had built-in 2 button mouse support was because I always used a 2-button Microsoft Mouse with my Macs running OS 9 - complete with the Microsoft driver. So, now I need some way to enable the right button to function as such....
    Is there any way to map modifier keys (eg, control+click) to mouse buttons under OS 9, or do I need third-party software?
    Thanks,
    -Dan

    Logitech seems to have Mac OS 9 drivers for their cordless mouse.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/958&cl=us,en?osid=12
    Is that the same model? I just picked one of them, so their may be others.
    And no, Mac OS 9 does not have built-in support for the "right click."

  • Controlling fans with Core Center?

    I feel such a fool, but I can't see any way of controlling fan speeds with MSI's Core Center? 
    The centre panel listss the CPU/NB temperature and fan speeds... if I click on the red arrow to the side of that, the extra panel that slides out simply gives me options on when the alarms should sound, based on either temperature or fan speed. 
    Am I meant to increase the fan speed by raising the minimum fan speed alarm threshold?  Not only is that a daft way of doing it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect...?

    Quote from: petsoukos on 25-March-06, 21:16:41
    Why isn't there a fan control for the NB Fan? The stupid thing runs at 7000rpm (according to CoreCenter) I need to control it coz not only it makes so much noise but it is also damaged making the noise 10 times louder and I have no time to RMA the board.
    Please....I need to control it manually or I'm going to shut it down completely (ripping the freakin thing of the board).......
    While I dunno about your mbrd, the NB fans on a couple of MSI mbrds I've played with are just not really speed controllable.  With Speedfan, I can reduce the speed but below 90% or so, the fan starts to stall and then oscillates between nearly stopped and its max speed.  I have mine, on a K8N Neo2 Plat set to max speed of 95% and min of 90%, which reduces the noise a touch.
    If it's getting noisy and looking like failing, email MSI tech support and tell 'em it's failing and you're experiencing hangs and reboots.  I had two mbrds I reported like this, which were behaving badly, and they sent me 3 new heatsink/fans.  Those new fans run a bit slower, max of ~6Krpm, and are smoother running.  If you do this, it's a good idea to register the mbrd with them and then in your email, give the serial no and your postal address.  I had my new fans in a week or so, with no hassle or telephone calls at all.

  • Overclocking Help .... MSI Z87 G45 with i5 4670k

    Hi guys first of all i want to say MSI ROCKS!!!!!.... 
    Purchased my first ever MSI motherboard and very satisfied from it ..... the looks are killer and now i want to see if its killer in OC as well ....
    My specs are as follows:
    MSI Z87 G45  (bios version 1.7)
    Core i5 4670k
    GSKILL Rip Jaws 8gb (4x2) 2133 mhz (but running at 1600)
    Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X OC 4GB
    Corsair GS800 800 watts psu....
    Now my goal is to get safest OC around 4.2 - 4.4 ghz with minimal voltage and fully stable ..... its my first time with K series processor and there are just so many settings in the BIOS .... I know how to change the multiplier and CPU voltage and i tried doing 4.4 ghz @ 1.15 but it wasn't stable in AIDA64 stress test .... so help me oh the mighty overclockers :D .... Screenshots of bios settings would be highly appreciated ....

    Using Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with it with dual fans .... I did some overclocking on my own today (saw some OC screeshots of bios of Z87 G45 by some people) ...... 4.3 GHZ @ 1.15 voltage (but CPU-Z and AIDA 64 both showing 1.224) ...... Did 2 hours testing of Aida-64 stability and maximum temp i reached was 69c on one core and 65c TJ .... I couldn't boot into windows on the same settings @ 4.4 ghz ..... here are the screenshots of my OC profile .....
    still my aim is to get maximum safest OC with lowest possible voltage ...

  • Need some help with Apache vhost. Access a server on network.

    Not sure if this can be done. But here is my case:
    Me and my colleague is writing some database applications for out employer. And this server runs Apache, PHP and MySQL.
    We want to be able to access different vhosts using just the post after the server local IP-address. (I.e., 10.0.2.242:8080).
    Because we want to use the same server for different projects, but we need some way to split this. And so far, a port name is the best.
    Another way would be to use the DNS server, and redirect any request for example.com to that particular server. but since we have started to use OpenDNS, that can't be done.
    My question is, can't this be achived? If I type 10.0.2.242:8080, i can be directed to /srv/http/test_vhost, where /srv/http is the server root.
    Any reply is much apprecited. Since I could find an answear on Google.

    It can screw you up because it *always* returns an IP address, which isn't so bad for web browsing, but when you're trying to do (or diagnose!) other things it can really screw with you.

  • Z87-G45 Fan Connection Questions

    Greetings,
    I wanted to ask about connecting my Corsair liquid cooler.  I'm using 2 radiator fans in a push-pull config, plus the cooler itself needs power.  The Z87-G45 has 2 cpu fan connectors.
    My first question is am I going to get fan control from this mobo?  All my fans and cooler cables are 3-pin.  I was given the impression that you might need 4-pin fans for variable fan speed control.  Is that true?
    If I am somehow going to get fan control from the mobo, I'd appreciate some advice on what goes where.  Should I hook up the cooler power and one of the radiator fans to the CPU fan connectors and then the other radiator fan to a sys fan connector?  Or would it better to have the cooler power on a sys fan connector?  Better yet, is it safe to use a Y-connector for both of the radiator fans.  I can't get a clear read on whether or not there is enough power for that and also whether it might screw up the BIOS readings for fan control (if that's a factor).  I'm also one connector short for all the fans I want to run, so a Y-connector would be ideal.  The 2 radiator fans are identical (Corsair AF120 - 12v/0.40a).  I've read people write they *think* the max amp for each connector is 1.0, but I can't find anything definitive (it's not in manual).
    If you're confident about any of this, I would appreciate your advice.
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    Thanks for replying to one of my posts yet again Nichrome.  You are an invaluable resource for this forum.
    I did a double-check, and the Corsair fans are 3 pin.  It's a shame; I wish I had studied this b4 I bought them.  They are the loudest fans in my system.  4 pin fans, surprisingly, still seem to be very much the exception.  Doing a search on Newegg for 4 pin fans, most of them, where I could see a picture of the plug, were of the old power supply molex variety.
    Am I right to believe that the fan control for the CPU fan headers would be based on the CPU temp and the Sys fan headers would be based on either the mobo temp or the general temp of the air in the case?  That will confirm for me if it's a bad idea to hook up the radiator fans to the Sys fan headers.
    Thanks,
    Bobby

  • Need a way to fake MS VM for some detectVM class

    Need a way to fake Sun JVM as MSVM in order to run an application that use some detectVM.class (getVMVersion) to determine if MS VM is installed.
    Has anybody done this before?

    I doubt that would work.
    There are differences.
    It most certainly will not work if it uses MS's version of JNI. There were also other Java API differences as well.
    Note to mention that you probably need a 1.1.4 version of the Sun VM before attempting this, since there have been changes in the Jave API since then as well.
    However it is probably doing nothing more than using the version string. Changing that should be possible if you know how to use a hex editor and you are careful.

  • I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    The designer is usually someone who just handles the user interface portion of the code. The developer would handle core functionality. I assumed you were the developer and the designer was the designer. You are the client and your "designer" is the developer.
    Ideally, you should create a business account so that you can add someone to your team. That is the way it is supposed to work. Otherwise, you will have to ask for the final source code so that you can build and submit the app yourself. You should always have the source code regardless. You should always perform the submission under your own account too. Otherwise, it is the developer's app, not yours.
    Sharing accounts is against the Apple Developer agreement anyway. The App Store Gold Rush is over. Now it is mostly zombie apps and competing fraudsters. You don't want to give someone access to your iTunes account. You really don't want to give someone access to your bank account either.
    The best solution would be to convert your account to a business account. You may be able to have the developer submit the app and then transfer it to you.

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.
