thermal paste is only applied/re-applied when your logic board and/or heatsink is removed from the computer. This is the last thing that comes out of the macbook, and even then is incredibly hard to muck up. I think your problem lies elsewhere

Throw some games in the hat please guys!
I'm looking for a game to play under windows on my machine (see sig)
What are you all playing at the moment?
STALKER is coming out next week in the UK. I'm hoping it's going to be a Fallout-esque FPS. It's set in an area called the Zone, near Chernobyl. It's a bit of a mish mash of Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky and the Chernobyl incident. CVG has plenty of interviews and reviews with the developers.

Hi Guys & Gals,
I'm going to make the jump to an Intel SSD this weekend to replace my stock 320GB (5400 RPM) Drive in the 2010 Mac Mini.
Those of you that have actually done this, did you find that the Logic Board really needed to be shifted at all? I've been looking at the OWC installation Video and it would seem to me that the drive will lift out over the Logic Board without moving the board at all. It would mean that I would only have to detach the first SATA and two heat connectors. The least amount of connectors I have to pull the better I would assume. Also, I'm thinking that the black vinyl covering wrapped around the 320GB drive is there to protect the moving/electrical drive components on the bottom of the drive, which I would not need on the SSD. I know that I need/should replace the piece of tape to hold the heat sensor wire on the new SSD.
Any help would be great.....:)
2010 Mac Mini (2.4MHz - 8GB RAM Intel 80GB SSD(pending)) Air Port Extreme, 2TB Mini Stack External Dive, 16GB WiFi iPad, 32GB iPhone 3GS.

I highly doubt Steve will announce another iMac at WWDC. :eek:
I'm sure he's talking about Lion announcements at WWDC, most importantly the release date and price.
Anyway, $50 is worth waiting a month or two for me. But then again, I'm in no rush.

if I remember my stuff (but I could have forgotten A LOT) all higher impedance will do is make it quieter, but that being said is there really that much difference in impedance with headphones? I've got an old pair of AKG K301's and they are similar in volume to the apple earbuds (but obviously lightyears better)

LOL what a clusterf**k. This stupid situation has snowballed into something that could bring down their stock price.
edit: Holy Hell CMG goes for $229.29 and its up almost 4 bucks!
No such thing as bad publicity. Plus, animals are tasty. In fact, I think I'll have a Chipotle burrito for lunch today.

Just curious... how much did you get for it? I've got a MBP 2.2 15" 120GB, and if I upgrade anytime soon it would be good information about the resale market.
$1085 shipped.

Excellent news! I think we can infer from this that Apple has nothing more then a skeleton crew working on 4.x at this point. I am sure all resources are hard at work on 5.x .

I think Linux-on-iPod needs a mod player :)
That would be a fun project to do. I would love to be able to play xm/mod/it songs on my ipod.. interesting.

Everytime I upgrade to a new version of LR I try Aperture, I tend to find it struggles badly on my Mac Mini - Lightroom doesn't set the world on fire in terms of performance - but it works.
For me LR is a more polished application, I have no issues with the interface (used it from Beta version) or the need to switch from Library to Develop modules.

OJuice (http://www.ojuice.net/) is the authority on all things demo. Check out Nectarine (http://www.scenemusic.net/) for streaming scenemusic from the old legends and the new!
I am really looking forward to Renoise 1.5 final. I hope it takes them less time to release than between the last two releases. Looks really spiffy, though! Now if only it supported Audio Units...

I like keeping singles as a separate album. :) But yeah, since my last post, I worked on some groupings and they look great. I just wish they were enabled in iPod and iPhone...

^Yeah...real exciting ports.....milk that wii guys!;)
The wii always had love...its small, kinda cheap, wii sports, multiplayer games, swinging of the arms...great combo.
I'm seeing a few wii consoles pop up in my local GS/BB in NYC so all in the Manhattan area head out to 129th next to the Apollo...you might find one

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum, but I have been visiting for awhile now. I hope you can help, or point me in the right direction.
Pardon my ignorance on these issues, I'm certainly a newbie, but I am trying to change that with your help.
I currently have a MacBook Pro (Spring 2010), Time Capsule and PC. I use the PC strictly for school, but that will be changing in the very near future since it is on its last leg. I plan on buying an iMac this summer to replace the PC. That is, as long as I can get the network to work the way I want it to.
I will be taking my MBP to school so I can work on projects between classes. I would like the network to work in a way that allows me to work projects on the MBP, then when I get home and turn on the iMac I can resume working on the projects and visa versa. So the computers basically mirror each other for files, documents, music, email, etc. (this is how my network at work performs). There has to be an easy way to do it, I'm just not crafty enough to figure it out. I was told I could do it with my PC, but I never could get it to work correctly. Maybe if I run a back up with I get home, log out of the MBP, log into the iMac, run a backup then i'm on my way???
I asked the guy at the Apple Store, he said "yeah that's easy" then went through about 10 key strokes and said "there you go". Then he said that I would have to do that for each file, folder, picture...., who has that kind of time?
I also thought about buying the 1 on 1 service through Apple to help me with this, but I'd rather not lug my iMac, MBP and Time Capsule through the mall. Think this would be worth the money for me?
Thanks for any help!

One of my development computers is such Core 2 Duo MacBook @ 2GHz I bought in Feb 2007. I have Snow and SDK 3.2.6 on it and I wonder if its screen is too small for Xcode 4. Is anyone here running latest Xcode on 1280 x 800?
I often feel cramped with 1440x900 but I find it workable. Then again I am also probably spoiled with my 27" monitor that I'm over sensitive when away from it.

With the plastic clips, the springs were required to maintain pressure between the heatsink and the CPU. You don't need the springs if you're using screws and nuts. I used nylon screws and nylon lock nuts. I see temps a few degrees lower than yours while encoding. Remember not to use too much thermal paste.
I've recently installed a 2.33ghz c2d chip in my old 1.66 cd mac mini. The performance boost has been great!
I've noticed temps have gotten a little high while running encodes and such... around low - mid 90s C while handbrake is encoding. I know this is still within operating temperature, but i'd like them to be a little lower.
I managed to keep the plastic clips from breaking while installing my cpu. I've been thinking about replacing the nylon clips with some nylon screws, like others have mentioned.
My question, Do people use the springs that came with the clips when installing the screws? Or do people just screw the heatsink down snug to the cpu without the springs?
Thanks,
