Likely I'll be using 750 instead of 760 though...

Any limitations on multipliers from 750 to 760?

Any reason to avoid 750 and just dish out the extra for 760?

I'd like access to 13 and 14 multi's if possible, and coming from amd for so long, I'm way out of date on intel stuff...

Hi Pedro [[ ]] How are you? :D

This is how I mounted mine. It works fine.

I machined the bar to fit the socket mounting bracket. I taped the screw hole in the bar and then put # 6 rods in to secure the top mounting plate with.

I'm rebuilding my cascade ATM. Maybe I'll be finished tonight. I'm adding two expansion tanks. Maybe you and Ricky need some expansion tanks. :toast:

Nice mounting Ron......

Hey RunMC, that's pretty sweet job there.

I like that.

Did you just use a grinder to notch the bar pieces?

Actually Charlie came to my rescue... :D

Found loads of info, just nothing on available multi's on each chip...

So 750 on the way with a CT-479, P4C800-e also coming, and off to be voltmodded after the weekend, so as long as the modded Mach2 comes back next week, might have it all to put together in a week :) Will post piccy's of mounting when it's here...

Cheers

I picked up the bar at ACE HDW and used a grinder to make the bar fit the mounting bracket holes.
Next I tapped that hole for #6 rod. Works like a champ. :p:

thanks gclg2000

and thank you Vince - nice Dothan overclocks on your part. We're awefully proud of you. ;)

Have you seen TAM's holddown solution?

Is that tube been chromed or something? Looks seriously bling from the picture :cool:
Nice clean mounting that, should be pretty easy to fit all the insulation etc in and you can make sure you get the pressure right.

just bumping this thread. seing is someone has come up with a better waty for insulation. Btw what did everyone use on the bottom of the mobo? its hard to get a thick sheet down there b/c of the socket mount thingy.

put down 2 layers of foam tape around the socket then clamp down asus p4 bracket over it and screw it down thru the foam so it pinches off air gaps. THen put the ct-479 in, and insultate all over it and around it with more foam tape, so that only chip is exposed. Then make your self a nice gasket about the size of the inside of the bracket with 1/2 closed cell and cut out area where evap goes and your ready to rock. Dont forget 2 layers of foam tape underneath the mobo covering socket back plate.

I can run at below -170c for hours doing this.

You also can take about 2 times 1cm thick neopreen and use a plastic backplate with 4 holes. then use a larger bolts put it in the s478 thru the motherboard then thru the neophreen and after the plastic backplate you put the nut. screw it and its airtight!

Just do a little evap, you need it over the core, not over the entire processor.

Very simple and very effective looking mount there.
