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. :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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?)Quote:

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.Quote:

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).Quote:

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?
Post #11 in this thread has an idea...Quote:

:eek: where did you get those round mounting poles? i tried 2 fit my zalmon on 2day and i ave the block type mounting version.
also wat mobo is that?
Motherboard is Abit BH7, only used for mechnical testing. The round mounting pole belongs to a VapoChill PE. Works great on Asus P4GD1.
Good to know that my Vapochill PE should work on it then too. :DQuote:

MY mobo P4P800 how OC with BANIAS 1g4 code SL6F8

Very interesting, although I would rather have seen a solution on how to mount my Vapochill evaporator head on it :p:Quote:

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in the other Dothan threads but I tested using a creditcard as a shim and I must say it has the perfect height (assuming the height of the dothan is the same as for the celeron mobiles). Try this! I will most likely use this method this on my upcoming dothan.
(Note: Ofcource, don't use cards that are not 100% flat, some can have leveled digits.)
Two ideas I've got; caulking and rubber bands. Not sure which I'll go with.
I will look into this later today, who knows - it might work :DQuote:

Well, it worked but I couldn't get good enough contact with the core. So I removed the evaporator head and I am now running with the supplied Asus cooler. Guess I will have to try another way but think I will save that for my next Dothan. This one is going into a backup system heh.Quote:

Theres an aopen one coming out but can see it being pretty poor on options
I have my CT-479, but I'm still waiting on the P4C and 730. Since I have some time to kill I thought I'd replace the floppy pins and solder on a molex as well as get rid of the jumper pins.
I have been reading a lot of posts regarding this, but there is so much to sift through at this time that I don't know exactly how to do this. Am I do heat up a soldering iron and just slip them off? Or is it necessary to just break them off?
Thanks in advance!
Looks dirty allright! Thats a Thermaltake Typhoon right?Quote:

Anybody seen a phase change mount on these? Kinda hard with those holes blocked.

This is just a standard p4 retension mechanism with the holes moved up about 7mm. It's made out of .8mm aluminum and 1/8 in aluminum stock screwed into a retention mechanism.

Nice work, I like it! :toast:
yeah really nice!
I've got an idea on mounting a phase block. Gonna use some j-bolts to hook the evap mount (Vapo for now) to the P4 mounting bracket. Off to hardware store. Will post pics.
BTW, the jumper/power pins on the CT-479 can be trimmed with nail clippers. ;)
K, here is what I am working on. I've found that the Vapo 478 evap housing fits the stock Intel mounting bracket comfortably with some j-boltage:
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan1.jpg
(Notice pins clipped off so evap housing can fit. See also, ghetto shim pads)
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan2.jpg
(Proof of concept, as assembled in hardware store)
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan3.jpg
(On P4P800-SE - effective if not elegant)
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan4.jpg
(On P4P800-SE, underside view)
Still have to do some soldering, obviously, and hook this bad boy up. Prolly get it running tomorrow.
but how are you gonna' insulate the bottom, since the ct-479 won't cover the whole bottom of the evap ass'y??? The underside of the ct-479 will frost up[ like crazy if the whole ct-479 isn't air-tight!

Haven't really decided yet, but it will certainly involve lots of this:Quote:

http://209.35.180.29/misc/447.jpg
Works great, but hard to remove, so good to lay some sheet packing foam foundation first, like when athletes get their ankles wrapped. Which reminds me, hmm... :idea:
Were did you buy those two things?
Home Depot has the Armaflex tape (gotta look hard though, since they usually hide it - it isn't listed on their Web site but that's where I got it), and the seal string can be obtained from various Internet places:Quote:

I bought mine from crazypc, but I just realized you get two rolls for the $30 with the other vendors, so that's the better deal.
And here is a thread where I use these materials extensively for a phase change project.
As far as I've understood, some people are running Thermalright XP-90 with their systems. Does anyone have pictures?
I second that question.Quote:

easiest high end air cooling is Zalman 7000. Easier than xp-90!

I was looking at the Swiftech's MCW6000 and MCW6002 waterblocks for P4 478's and noticed that they use the standard P4 retention clips. Would the height difference cause to must pressure on the P-M core. Of course a shim of some kind would be used!

I found that zalman cooler for $30 US. How well does it do? thought about picking that up or the cnps-7000.Quote:

Charlie was talking about Zalman 7000 w/flipped clip. How tight is the fit actually? Cu or AlCu? Is shimm a must because I might have some problems getting something appropiate for the purprose?
#59 thats really cool way of doing it .
uclajd,
What size thread/length J-Bolts did you buy to make that fit? This dusty Vapo PE w. new headshell is looking mighty fine right now. Just hoping the 750 I should have next week is not a dud on the p4p800-deluxe. Also, have you measured the gap between the mobo and ct-479? I'm hoping a standard thickness neoprene sheet cut just right w/ some conformal coating will do a sufficient condensation proofing.
It's way too hot in nyc this early in the season to be doing too much fabrication.. This is all of course after I get the new apt a/c and hope I still have enough juice in the house to power a vapo pe.
Dunno about PC, but I mounted an xp-120 on mine. Bend fins to get a screwdriver down there, saw the edges off the brackets where the clips rest. Put two washers under the brackets then put the brackets back in place under the washers and screw up to attach. Also have to solder the jumpers and power to fit it.
The bolts are 1/4" by about 2 1/2. 2" would be just about the right length.
Haven't measured the gap between the mobo and the evap head on top of the CT-479 and P-M core, but your neoprene gasket might work. I just used seal string and Armaflex as mentioned earlier. Less than zero condensation.
Pics coming.

OK, some pics. I won't post them all to spare the 56K crowd.
I trimmed the "J" part of the bolts with a Dremel so they didn't protrude so much.
Ha ha, almost trimmed too much, like a bad haircut. Oh well, I had extra bolts:
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/mount.jpg
Adding seal string:
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/tape.jpg
More string and some Armaflex:
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/tapewire.jpg
Here's the final, ready to go version with no condensation:
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/snake.jpg
More pics:
Insulated
Wired
Plastic (did this to protect socket from another soldering accident). :hitself:
BTW, next to the bolts at the hardware store was this plate, complete with product liability legalese (what, no "do not eat"?):
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/bolt.jpg
So I bought a couple just in case.
Just a proof of concept that I put togther in one minute (Swiftech MCW50 GPU Block):
http://209.35.180.29/misc/dothan/waterplate.jpg
The bolts and plate were too big to use 2 plates and 4 screws along the nvidia mounting plate, but with smaller J bolts and U bolt plates, it might be a more secure solution.
damn you uclajd yuor starting to make me want to freeze a dothan. ;)
thanks for the picks though id been wondering how id get a vapo head to mount on it with the adapter.
Bump.
Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

I posted this in the how to thread but thought it should go in here too.
Using 2 ct-479 coolers i cut off 2cm from the end of the cooler without the gap for the power lead. Then make the base into an L shape so it fits the base of the akasa evo 120. You can then use the ct-479 clips to mount it.
