CT-479 mounting tricks?

So since the CT-479 partially blocks mobo mounting holes, what are some clever tricks for mounting phse change to the CT-479??


thx!

I'd be interested in hearing this too, as I am looking into getting one.

BTW, do we know if these work on the P4P800-DX? :confused:

Sorry for the hijack.

If you take a look to Mach2 evaporator housing and those stock mounting metal clips supplied with CT-479, you will soon figure out how you can attach the evaporator without any problems ;)

Nice find TheStilt. :D

Just mounted waterblock + 156W TEC + coldplate on her useing Zalman mounting stuffs I had laying around :D
will post some pics and results later this evening. It looks nice :D

So all of you guys a going for som Dothan power?

Looking foward to it! :)

I can't even seem to find this 479 adapter on ASUS's Web site. :confused: :confused: :confused:

I was one of the early adopters of Dothan, I had a 1.7 and a 2.0... and the DFI 855gMe board, it ran ok, but was obviously not "ready" for prime time yet. So I'm gonna' grab another combo and play awhile.
I ordered my CT-479 from atacom.com

You can get the CT-479 from ewiz.com for a little cheaper ($43 + ~$7 shipping Fedex ground). They have way better scoring on resellerratings too.

They also have J model Celeron M's :)

Can't wait to see your TEC results!

i too am interested in the results of a cheap 1.3 dothan celeron. just bump the fsb to 200, and see how it goes :D 200% overclocks are possible here

I have the 1.3G Dothan celeron but it wont even post at 13x200 (even w/ 1.6V) :(
wish the bios had multiplier adjustment for these CPUs, 10x200 would be nice already for the celeron :)

Is it true the Dothan Celerons are unlocked? I tried using some of those tweaker programs that allow you to mess with EIST or something and it's always locked on my 350. (or not supported?)

Maybe you can use this to build some custom stuff :D

Thanks, I just bought one. I've gotta find a way to strap the cascade on this puppy. :confused: :confused: :confused:

What board are you looking at?


Probably the P4P800SE right? Seems optimal for a non-modded 24/7 rig given the stable vcore from bios.

Should be able to use the same mount as you would before the adapter.. and I can cut a plastic adapter for my head if I had the dimentions.

Send me the measurments and where it is blocked.

Thanks Chilly, you rock ("bump" for urban types). One concern I have is the weight of a block and hose on this adapter, basically ripping the sob right off. :eek: I get the adapter and my 760 tomorrow, so we'll see.

I am sure that the use of a hard rubber shim will be nessassary. or possiably teh adapter will need to include support for the adapter board.

It´s impossible to use phase on Dothans without a shim.
Those die´s are so fragile...

Already 'popped' a 760 chip corners :(
It still works perfectly thou :D

Something you could do is buy a cheap celeron that has a heatspreader and put the heatspreader on the Dothan. You shouldn't get any cracked/chipped cores then (and temps won't be much different).

Now he tells me. :lol:

Just got 760 and ct-479 today, working on fabbing a shim... :idea:

Here are the dimensions of the Dothan:

Note that the length and width of the die are not exact, as the epoxy on it adds a "slope" down to the silicon. So a shim needs to take that into account...

can we "adapt" an old ship for AXP???

sadly enof i looked at a couple AMD shims and there only .6mm thinck :( can you use a heat spreader off a p4?
