![]() ![]() For usual confidential stuff an encrypted disc image would suffice. Having said that, I don't see much value using FileVault on such a hacked machine for daily work unless you process sensitive data. The old MacPro was a perfect machine to run in isolation for that purpose and the login was a minor annoyance. I needed FileVault to assure, none of the data that I was processing (and any snippets that may have ended up in system caches) would be retrievable and since I am using an SSD, erasing content safely would also have been an issue. Why would you want to do that? Are there any clear benefits besides safety?Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for your thought, Madr. But it's a lot of speculation.ĭid you post about this before? I used the image install and never activated the filevault. Maybe we can find the maker of the boot.efi and ask if he knows how to make a boot.efi with filevault enabled after you did the 'update' to el capitan. And filevault may need to change something to the efi. Because the boot.efi should be locked after you replace it. Because that must be linked to drive it's on.Īnd that may be reason you need to log in way before the normal way of logging in. But it think you can't copy an install from 1 new mac to a older 1,1/2,1 with filevault enabled. And that the boot.efi needs to be changed after you activated filevault. If you also used the image to install i think it has something to do with it not being an official install method. If you have followed the video like me i can't see why you have missed one of the boot.efi's Why would you want to do that? Are there any clear benefits besides safety?Īnd there are only 2 places where you have to replace the boot.efi if i'm correct. Also gonna pick up some make up removal pads because i think they clean better than q tips because they are very quickly saturated with paste.Ĭlick to expand.Did you post about this before? I used the image install and never activated the filevault. And i think i didn't clean the 1 with the higher temps like that. So it needs to stay white! Also when a q tip is full with paste, you just move the paste around on the chip instead of taking it off. So you need a clean q tip with wasbenzine as last not picking any paste anymore. Wasbenzine leaves a white residue that is masking the gray paste a bit. Oh and my tip is to clean the chips until there is no paste coming of it. Cause still 1 part of my brain says it's not needed. So if anybody got tips and did have the same ram chips as me with a small gap between those 2 chips but did got them cleaned, i would like to know. I searched the forum but couldn't find anybody explaining what they did. But i'm wondering how much everybody else cleaned heir replacement ram. I got a small wood pick for cleaning teeth to do some edged but i didn't clean between those chips because i couldn't remove that paste while trying. I mean: if you look at 1 side you see a row of 8 or 10 chips but every one of those are actually 2 above each other with a small gap in between. Also with all new ram chips i done so far i didn't clean between every 2 ram chips. I will check that later and clean them a bit more. ![]() Now it's more like 6 degrees but i think i also didn't clean the last pair fully (the cleaning job is sooo annoying and time consuming that you get fed up with it after you done some) I think there was still some paste on the chips. The second pair ended up with 10 degrees difference. First 2 ram sticks i did started with 5 degrees difference. So i only took off a pad from another old ram stick and used that. When i tried the new pads the temps were 15 degrees celsius higher than the other ones. First time that happened i threw away the old pad but not any more. Some pads came off with no problem but some of it sticked to the chips on the ram and even removing them carefully did not help as small part of the pad still sticked the ram chips. ![]() Although i bought new thermal pads but they are not the right size. But that is somewhat normal because the 'cooling' effect has to set in after you change those fins and thermal pads. Still had to clean them a lot with q tips after that. Tried to put them in a wasbenzine bath of 2 mm (inside of a jewel case for cd's) hoping it would dissolve the paste faster and better but i didn't help much. Click to expand.Thanks! I did 2 more ram sticks. ![]()
