    I7 4790 cooler

    saga continues, installed the new heatpipe and now the machine powers up for a few seconds and then restarts. This loop continues infinitely. Probably garfed the board during one of the cooler removals. RMA in process.

    I7 4790 cooler

    The stock cooler and alpine cooler use the plastic push pins. The stock pins all locked the the alpine ones did not. The overall construction of the alpine was pretty shitty with 2 of the plastic pins not being able to thread the mount holes. I've ordered a coolermaster h series heatpipe and...

    I7 4790 cooler

    I thought I had good contact with the stock one. The thermal paste was all over the cpu when I removed it and all the locking pins were down. I'm getting another alpine 11 today so I hope I can get it installed but the caps just north of the cpu socket make me a little anxious.

    I7 4790 cooler

    If that is the case then why did the machine refuse to boot after getting past the msi splash screen for over an hour without rest?

    I7 4790 cooler

    hmmmm, well under just the bios it got up to about 91c and and during windows install it just froze. Then refused to boot until I let it rest for about and hour. That is what led to me to believe the cpu was overheating. CPU cooler was always operational. 1400ish rpm fan speed.

    I7 4790 cooler

    Put together an i7 4790 build on the msi z97 pc mate motherboard. For some reason with the stock cooler the cpu temp got up into the 80s. I've never had this happen before. I then got an alpine 11 rev 2 cooler and had some serious trouble installing it. 2 of the latching pins wouldn't go all the...

    iphoto issue

    I have a copy of the pictures folder from the old mac on an external drive. The one thing that is different between the 2 machines is that it is much easier to find the pictures folder on the old mac. I simply go to finder and then library which takes me into the user folder where i see...

    I'm a mac novice so you'll have to give me some more specific instructions.

    iphoto issue

    I'm helping a friend with an Iphoto issue. Evidently someone else tried to copy his iphoto library (it has nearly 20,000 pictures) to his new Mac. The process he followed was to copy the pictures library to the desktop and then import into Iphoto. I'm no Mac expert but I didn't think this was...
