My Mom ent her home. The cold water feed Into the water heater sprung a leak in the copper pipe (the ~ 2 foot length connected to the unit). The useless moron of a maintenance guy put a bolt-down clamp with rubber on it, aim it Did not fix it. So now INSTEAD of spraying Against the wall, it’s running down onto the water heater. Supposing I wanted to fix this, what’s the best way? New pipe soldered Into place? Some of fate patch?

I Have posted this issue Before, goal added Some additional details: Hi thar, I’m a bit Concerned about my Phenom 955BE idling at 44C. Under a normal load (eg playing NFS Shift) it sits on around 58-61C. Under a CPU stress test it gets to about 69C max. Is this a bit too warm for this CPU? It’s on the stock cooler (the copper pipe one at least) The room is airconditioned (so about 22-23C) and the box HAS 5x 80mm fans (So the box temp is around 26C), and II have since Pulled out the heat-sink, Cleaned it perfectly, Applied some good thermal compound (Arctic Silver 5), it booted back up, STILL sitting on 44C idle and 55C Under normal load and 68C under stress test (prime 95 torture test) Do I need to buy aftermarket cooler year ( I really Did not want to!>. <)? Why is not the one with the AMD chip send out good enough? gold thesis speeds are really OK? Also the clock speeds are set to default (3. 2ghz) That I found in the BIOS SYSTEM WAS Able to auto adjust the voltage, so I disabled it, the CPU VCore set to 1. 35V (down from 1. 45V) Now it idles on 42C and 61C Stress tested – much better, aussi Did the CPU tests in 3DMark06 and Have not Lost Any performance. I’m trying to find what the recommended vCore voltage for this chip is. . . .

I am frustrated Because I Have Been practicing soldering 1 / 2 inch copper pipes at my building maintenance and running I cannot get it right. I got the outside from looking nice and neat goal when i saw the pipe down the middle and Separate the fitting and the pipe I see little round spots thesis (about 1 / 8 inch in diameter) Where the solder Did not stick. I Thoroughly clean the pipes, apply flux Enough, Enough apply heat and still I get like one or Two spots per pipe. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Mario G. oh, and I apply aussi Enough solder. About 3 / 4 inch of solder for a 1 / 2 inch pipe.

I Placed a copper ornament Into a plastic baggie full of Tarnx in my stainless steel sink and let it soak for 3 days to get the tarnish off, now I have a nasty stain I can not get out. I’ve Tried steel wool. . Tarnx more. . . Ajax. . . Soft Scrub. . . Even a paste made of baking soda. . . Can anyone know how I clean it up?

Interested in copper but do not want all copper due to maintenance issues. Also, prefer stainless steel over aluminum due to Health Concerns Regarding the aluminum. Cookware need to go from stove top to oven.

OK overheated my 360 Elite (RROD ports 1 & 2), so idiotic in true style i said f ** k it ill fix it myself! Opened the 360, disconnected everything and Took out the motherboard. removed the two heat-sinks and Cleaned the GPU & CPU + heat-sinks, re-applied fresh thermal compound and put it all back together. Still the Same. . . . so a couple Days Later i tried the same thing, the goal this time Removing HEATPAD on the back and Replaced it with copper corners. Still the Same!! >: {Tried making the x-clamps tight. . No joy: (now i Turned it on and… E74 BANG! Could It Be the compound im using? http://www. Maplin. co. fr / Module. aspx? ModuleNo = 33695Tried the towel trick and nothing.. . any help Will Be Greatly Appreciated PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO SEND IT TO MS. Obviously THE WARRANTY IS GONE AND I IS NOT GOT $ 150 IM BROKE Haon more thing the thermal past is white, I’ve crossed referenced it Any anyone doing this uses Arctic Silver 5 Compound Could this make a difference?

I own a Mitsubishi split type air conditioner (upright compressor unit outside connected via IS copper tubing to the blower unit on the inside). Is There Some out of regular maintenance That I Should Be Doing it this A / C?

Left my dishes in the sink for a little too long and Some Have Developed a glue like residue was Them That wont scrub off (just smears around) What can I do to clean ‘em? Soap and soaking Does Nothing. the non-stick pan IS so I cannot use a copper scrubber.

I am my shingle roof and Replacing galvanized gutters and downspout. My house IS Almost 100 years old I am Deciding Between Buckingham Slate or Synthetic Eco-Star. The price difference is $ 2700. Also I am Deciding Between Aluminum or Copper Gutters and downspout. The price difference is $ 2750. From my reading here and there, I think I (my roof) Will Be OK with Synthetci Slate purpose if the money Was Not isse year (wihsful thinking) Which one i would use? My roofer Said It Was His house if ET Would use the ones for Synthetic Gutters and downspout, from what i Understand the look of copper IS Much nicer (Especially one year old brick house like mine). Also I read The Copper That Does not rust and I do not Have To worry about maintenance? is this right? How about the Tarnishing? I read some where the green tarnish That IS good for copper Even aim how about the look of it? Do the copper Gutters and downspout still look good After FEW years to justify the extra expensive? Thanks!

I want to work on the 1 / 2 “shut off valve Under a Bathroom Sink That HAS debris in it. Can I take off the shut off valve, clean it out and put it back on the ferrel? If This Is not possible, can I put a new shutoff valve is using the old ferrel? PS The copper pipe IS NOT long Enough for me to cut off the old and put on a ferrel new one.
