Coins, alternative to the copper shims for the heat sink?

Hello, I have a question, can I use another element like a heatsink instead of the copper shim? because in my country (Venezuela), I can not find. Something like a coin, I read in the forum it is also recommended, but I want to be 100% sure because it is the first time I hear about copper as heat sink blocks/coins

Hear also the money is good, what is nickel? can be used too? Since here the coins are made with nickel, and I don't know if it's a good metal for radiator

Thank you

The relative heat and electrical conductivity of metals. Money would be the best, then the copper and gold. Nickel is very poor.

Aluminum 56 62
Brass 28 25
Bronze (phosphor) 28 38
Copper 100 100
Gold 76 71
Iron 17 17
Lead 9 8
Mercury 2 2
Nickel 20 25
Platinum 18 16
Silver 108 105
Steel 13-17 15
Tin 17 15
Zinc 29 30

If you want to use a coin as a heat pad/shim book try thin with a hammer then shine up with Emery cloth or it buff.

  • reuse the heat sink with fan for computer laptop G72 nine?

    Greetings!

    I need to replace the fan on my laptop and see several put on sale with the correct part below number... but many only list the fan without heatsink at reasonable prices, but only a few include the heatsink and the cost much more!  Anyone know if the heat sink can be removed from my old fan and reused by a new one or are inseparable?  The full model is G72-B60US, which is also called a "xg988ua.  Thanks in advance!

    Heatsink with fan module - UMA

    They are separable, and given that the radiator is actually a piece of metal is probably defective. It is a bit of a chore to remove the old fan and install the new in the old radiator but can be done.

  • that they put between the processor and the heat sink

    I was cleaning my old dell computer and I removed the heatsink from the processor and was research material greyish on the two surfaces that I thought dirt after clean it my computer actually works, but gets super fan fast until it stops and when I turn it on again, it gives a warning that the system was hot and had to shut down to protect what is of this kind of thing and where can buy on thanks

    Hello

    It is waterproof or heat sink grease.

    Thermal grease
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease

    Computer stores, Radio Shack, BestBuy and similar stores sell it although there are
    different types.

    Check with your system manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer or the manufacturer of the processor
    for the types recommended. Most of the shops will be good advice because they use it often.

    I hope this helps.

  • Pavilion dv7t 6100 - LM726AV: replacement of heat-sink/fan using the thermal pads and thermal paste/paste

    Hello

    The fan on my laptop died so I am trying to replace the fan and the heatsink unit. The manual that I use specifies that thermal grease should be used on the cpu and heat pads must be used on the graphics processor and the capacitors.

    The arrival of the new fan it came with heat pads on all relevant areas of the sink as a tube of thermal grease. When I removed the old fan, thermal pads have proved only on the capacitors and the components around the GPU and that thermal grease was used on the CPU and the GPU.

    My question is: how this part must be installed? Should I remove the fron pads thermal heat sink that covers the processor cpu and graphics and do not use the thermal grease in these areas? Or the thermal grease can be used here and let the thermal pads on the heat sink?

    Thanks for your help - thank you for the advice/opinions in this case.

    You can remove the protections and pass with the dough so but only f, you are sure that the metal on the core processor and graphic is in solid contact. And there, I meant it touches and also has a lower compression. For me, the thermal paste is superior coolant and should be used on really hot spots. However, if the metal is not full, solid contact you run the risk of overheating.

  • The heat from the laptop and fanspeed.

    I have a hp laptop, product number: WA912UA #ABA

    Product name: HP G62 Notebook PC

    Problem: I've had this computer for several years now, and there has been a lot of problems with the cooling system. Initially the pc just would go quite warm all the time, and after a while I got used. Increase the speed of the fan, but he wouldn't have much at all to help. Now the fanspeed just stays at low speed all the time. No matter what the temperature of the computer and it causes many problems. my pc was supposed to get with HP Coolsense, or thermal tune in time. The problem with the speed of the fan not increasing do not, is that the computer is so hot that I can burn myself on the subject, there is nothing in the vents and is on a hard surface with a lot of the place where the air region can get though it. It is still too hot on a computer laptop cooling pad before. All I want out of this is a way to manuially my fan speed control, just to put up to max, or at least higher than idle. I tried many programs, but none of them work due to the HP locking ability. Please get me something that works on my pc so that I can control the speed of the fan and prevent it from blend!

    TheSavageOne,

    Maybe someday a BIOS update will be released which allows manual adjustment of the fan. You can try to blow out the radiator and the fan if you feel uncomfortable with this. Here for your computer and on page 4-41 maintenance and care guide gives you the steps of how get to the fan and the heat sink.

    Hope it will be useful.

    Thank you

  • Satellite L20: Strange noise from heat sink when the power adapter is purchased

    Hello

    I own a Satellite L20 laptop and when I take the power cord out of my L20 and power to the battery on a strange sound high tone appears when I put my ear on the heat sink and can be heard normally.

    It is never used to do this.
    Any ideas?

    I don't know if you can hear the sound, as I do, when to do as you described, but this noise is coming from the CPU, when your phone is inactive or sous-travaille.

    Have it on my computer Toshiba no as well and everything I read that there is nothing to worry about and normally, you does not recognize.

  • Re: Need new heat sink of heat for my Satellite L500-1XZ

    Hello, I have to replace my radiator on my Satellite L500-1XZ together. Any idea where I can find a heatsink for this model, because I searched and searched and can't find anything yet.
    The exact model is L500-1XZ PSLJHE
    number on the heat sink is: 0a AT0920020V0 AVCS 101st

    Please if anyone has any info on where I can find heater help me! Thank you!

    I have my opinion L500 all have the same construction and I also think that you should simply seek radiator L500. With a little luck you can find it on eBay or googling autour.

    Another way to contact Toshiba nearest service provider and ask if you can order a part with this part number. I hope they can do for you.

  • Alternative to the cutting tool for Windows 7 Starter

    I bought a net-book with Windows 7 Starter & it does not capture tool. So I tried all the other snipping programs & none of them can just drag a page copied to an email that I prepare. They want all save, share etc. They can send email if you only want to send a screenshot, but I need to move to screen multiple blows to an email. I use a web site based on Ihost Exchange Outlook if it makes a difference. Does anyone know of a real alternative to the capture tool? Snippy, Snagit, CaptureIt, Lightshot and anyone else I've tried doesn't do the same thing.

    Any help really appreciated!

    Kind regards

    So you are saying I need to download the latest version of ESX/vSphere and then extract the VM Tools of which rpm?

    It might be a way to get them, if you are unable to install the product.

    The version will say vSphere 4.0 be OK for ESXi 3.5 VMs?

    Yes

  • Cannot open the component of the battery of the 3rd generation Apple TV remote.  The "cover" stripped is by using a coin to turn the cover counterclockwise. Any suggestions?

    On the component of the battery of the 3rd generation Apple TV remote, the "lid" is getting stripped by using a coin to turn the cover counterclockwise. I even used a screwdriver flat head with a cloth & it will not always be open.

    It is partially open, but I think there was some debris. I disabled the debris, but the "lid" is badly stripped. I stopped as I would not completely destroy the compartment cover. Any suggestions?

    I had a similar problem with another camera, but a very similar configuration, a round lid on a stack of pancakes about two years ago. I got to have adhesive PuTTY handy of Museum at the time.  I took enough Putty to cover the circular cover, let it sit for just a moment, or so that he could 'stick' (it's not like glue, it will come off easily). I have enough of the dough (about a 3/4 inch ball) used to create a handle and everything pushing down pretty firmly on the sealant to keep it on the cover, I did one-quarter turn and cover came out. I just took my money AppleTV 3 remote out of storage and tried this technique on her, and she seemed to cling to the coverage and helped me with the tour. My remote money is not received tap stuck like yours and the housing is in good condition. But it might be interesting to try. If you live in Irvine, California you should probably have some of this PuTTY on hand. It is usually used to prevent the fall during an earthquake of trinkets and other fragile objects of light weight. If all else fails, a new remote money is always available on the Apple Store for $19. Good luck.

  • What is an alternative to the UWABR100 Wifi adapter?

    It seems that Sony has stopped the Wi - Fi adapter for the model 2011 Bravias incredulous. However, the link for the UWABR100 WiFi card to http://www.store.sony.com/products/27-UWABR100 says that it is no longer supported.

    Does anyone know if there is an alternative to the UWABR100 WiFi adapter?

    Now that the UWA-BR100 is no longer produced, and the few remaining are sold at ridiculous increases ($ 175 and up), it seems that the single dongle wifi that works with Sony Bravia and Blu - ray Disc players and gets strong support in the comments of the buyer is the UWA-DR100 Wifi adapter. It is manufactured and sold on Amazon by two companies. You can also see the reviews on Amazon.

    Sony really disappoint recent Bravia owners on this issue. It's one thing to be an essential accessory owner for a major product feature of the production after 5-7 years, but inside of 3 years is supported of the gross product.

  • Alternative to the lookup function

    Is there an alternative to the search function? I would like to put the logic below in the formula for a logical column in OBIEE business layer.

    I don't have permission to create a new table in the physical database. I may be able to use Excel as a data source, but I am not sure of this, and in any case it seems a pity to create a table to search for such a small search.

    CASE

    WHEN uni.university_code = 'DOMC' THEN 'CARL '.

    WHEN uni.university_code = 'NOMS-LAKE' THEN 'NOSM.

    WHEN uni.university_code = "NOMS-LAUR" THEN "NOSM.

    WHEN uni.university_code = "LAUR-ALGM" THEN "ALGM".

    WHEN uni.university_code = 'LAUR-HRST' THEN 'HRST.

    Of OTHER uni.university_code

    END

    Ah, may not work if the column contains in its own formula in the column itself, it is a reference in itself and may not work (this is where I'd expect a different type of error).

    In WHICH CASE you must use the original column (I guess it can be 'University Code'), and it will produce the new "reunification", the new values based on the outcome of the CASE WHEN.

    You can choose between "physical mapping from" If you want to push the CASE WHEN your DB and receive a reduction of the number of rows in the result (as grouped by the outcome of the CASE WHEN), or do after aggregation using "from existing columns by using an expression." In this case the DB back you a greater number of lines and the BI server will then work to aggregate together as the CASE WHEN.

    (I would go for the aggregation pre, derived from physical to move less data between DB and BI Server mapping and also not to ask the BI server to do database work together).

  • Question: An Alternative to the vim3WaitTaskEnd method?

    I am looking for an alternative to the vim3WaitTaskEnd method.

    Scenario:

    Lets say I have a table of virtual machines that I need to migrate to another host.  The following example loops on my table of machines virtual one at a time waiting for each to complete before moving on to the next VM migration.  I would rather set the set of tasks or the queue upwards (similar to execution of workflows in parallel work) then wait that all tasks to perform.



    for (s = 0; s < targetVM.length; s++) {
      task = targetVM[s].migrateVM_Task(resourcePool, Host2, VcVirtualMachineMovePriority.highPriority, null);
      actionResult = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.basic").vim3WaitTaskEnd(task, true, 10);
    }
    

    Some direction or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Adam

    Push your tasks in a table that you are looping through...

    Once done with your loop, check the status of each task until it all ended.
