I will but I'm starting to think a fire or earthquake would do wonders for this place. It would be so much easier to start from scratch versus reinventing the wheel.Originally Posted by k1w1
Take a system state backup just in case...
How many staff? There is definately a cut-off point where instead of migrating, doing it as a greenfields install is worthwhile.
That's the tough part. 50-60 staff onsite but there are 20-30 coming and going at all times doing installations. Most of them have Vista Home and wonder why they can't connect to the network when they return. I have disassembled laptops and workstations everywhere! I think the last admin went over the deep edge along with the help desk guy.
I'm a solo act
50-60 is on the high end of what SBS will cope with anyway. You replacing like with like? (ie going to SBS2K8 or 2K11)?
SBS is just gonna have to cope for now, likely will go to SBS2K8 or at least I plan on doing so in the near future.
Heh, go to 2K11 and stick their email in the Microsoft BPOS cloud. That'll make them realise how good they have it now...
Lol!!!! .............
You are not being nice, probably because they make you shoot with that weird grip on your AR in commieforniaWtf man? Screw that noob! Help me!
I'm just trying to figure of if there are any residual permissions existing in these unknown accounts.
Nope no BIOS FLashing for me. (total noob playing on his graphic cards bios=major fvck up) Well i guess its now 6950 or a 560ti...guess i go with the 6950 in march 2012 , let´s just hope it will be worth it´s price and the mayans were wrong

So I got a new computer a few months ago. Great piece of kit, except it has trouble overheating with some newer games. How do I update it to manage the temperature better? It's been years since I did anything with hardware and I can't remember if I only need to buy a new fan or what.
A couple of approaches. One is to make sure you have enough airflow in the case. Don't put in a corner, make sure front and back vents are clear, try to have an opening on the top and sides of the case.
Depending on the case layout and board configuration, you could them put a better cooler/fan on the CPU. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is a good, cheap one to look for. When you do that, make sure to clean off the thermal paste on the CPU completely and when putting the new thermal paste on for the new fan, don't overdue it or it will leak out the edges.
Is it an i7 processor? Mine upon installation said it didn't require paste and didn't supply any, when I run something intensive like bf3 my computer has a thermal trip, needless to say I will be applying thermal paste this weekend.
WTF? The i7 (I have a 930) gets pretty warm. Never would not put paste on a CPU.
I need to redo my internals since it looked like a 4 year old did it, my wire management is almost non existant. Thinking of a different case.

I'm fairly certain the CPU didn't even ship with paste? I'm almost fairly certain the setup said not to lay thermal paste down as well. Directions or no, it get's pasted this weekend, if I get anymore thermal trips I'll return it as it's still under warranty.
You could be right, my cooler shipped with its own but I already had some arctic silver. The CPU should run better though, I think the newer generation of the i7's are supposed to have some of those thermal issues sorted.
Fish: Though most CPU coolers come with some spots of TIP paste pre-applied, it wouldn't hurt to check. Like others said, clean the case out with something like compressed air and check what kind of airflow you've got going on. You can always easily improve the volume of air moving through the case by installing an extra fan if you have room for it. Solutions like installing a aftermarket CPU fan or GPU cooler are more drastic, but can obviously yield dramatic results. I've got a Scythe Mugen II cooler on the CPU, and a Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme cooler on my AMD card, but it took a lot of work to get them fitted. I might be generalizing, but most CPU fans will require you to fit a backplate onto the motherboard, thus neccessitating removal of the motherboard from the case. Likewise, custom GPU coolers will require you to remove the GPU cover and mess about with heat spreaders for the RAM etc. You've got to decide for yourself if that's worth it.
