dothan + slk948

[sang]

wondering if the Thermalright SLK-948U could be mounted on a P4P800SE and CT-479.
Anyone tried?

[toledo]

I would like to use my slk also but i guess it will interfere with the power connector and 533/400 jumper .

[IamAnoobieCheez]

Would be nice if they release the adapter "Specifically" designed to fit high-performance massive heatsinks... I'm too lazy to make modifications to the device and to make it fit...

[sang]

tried for the last 2 hrs,but cant be done without multiple modifications.Too bad.
But old swifty MCX462 works great.Especially with a Delta 80EHE.

nice temps!

but we want pics of how you mounted it :P

Yes . It is what i asked him .

[Stigggeh]

i managed to get an XP120 on today, very happy, just needed a little clip bending. knocked 4c of zalman 7000 temps with about the same ambient temp.

[wwwww]

pics pics pics - i work best with pics :P

see those two wires going to the base of the heatsink??? :P

9C idle - muhahahaha;

sry for the quality but its better than nothing

what pelt is that?

I don't understand what the problem is...I was able to get the SLK948 to work fine without any mods...just need to solder the four power cables.

[sang]

well,since 2 holes of the motherboard are obturated by the CT-479 its obviously a problem mounting the SLK.I wasnt able to fix a retention way for it so please,show us some pics.It will worth a 1000 words.

He probably used the clips instead the back plate . To use the clips i guess you need to remove the power conector and weld the wires .....probably need to bend the clips also to reduce the pressure on the die .

Solder the connector, use the clips. Takes more force than normal, but that's all. Nothing fancy.

And I would add that in order to be safe and protect the core, either use a shim or get some of the foam pads used on drawers and cabinets to keep the cabinet doors or the drawers from banging against the cabinet (sold at hardware stores) and use these just like AMD did on their XPs.

Gautam...did you ever find those things (foam stops) and if so, are you using them? I'm messed around for a while now and haven't done anything else with my Dothan. All I really need now is to flash with the latest BIOS but I keep getting sidetracked. Too many irons in the fire, as they say.

Are those curved clips some that you modded, or are they part of Swiftec's mounting hardware? I don't think I've seen those before, or at least I don't remember them if I have.

[wwwww]

what pelt is that?

just an 80W @12V

can't even handle the chip o/ced on load...


also how low do i need to get the jumpers and power cable,

i've already got the power connector @ 90 degrees and they are all about the height of the jumpers (with the top cut off)

reckon that's enough (with the aid of a heatspreader on the chip)?

[sang]

they are from a boxed coller (p4 1.8 Willi).

Gautam - i dont have the orig. clips for SLK948.I didnt knew they exist till now,I only thought the only way of mounting a SLK949 is by screws for 939/478.How this clips looks alike?


wwwww - you dont have to cut the upper part of the jumpers.Just bend it as low as you can (lower than the die,ofcourse).A 226 pelt looks more suited for this job.Even @5v.

R_M: I've pretty much retired...I got some pads and they were too big. Got the smallest ones home depot had. Kept using the foam shim.

Sangboy: If you got the original box, they're probably in there. They look sorta like the Dothan clips, except have a much sharper angle. Thermalright charges around $5 for replacements.

The foam (not felt) pads from Home Depot compress down so they should have been alright, if "size" was an issue, they could easily be cut to what ever size you needed. I'm wondering if you didn't get the right ones.

There is a pic in the CT-479 How-to thread where one of the guys uses them...I'll try to find it.

Edit:
It was the "mounting tips" thread that has the pics. Here is a link.

Gautam, are these the ones that you bought and didn't work for you?

[sang]

today ive changed my mobo with a p4gd1,rev1.03

the good things for the gd1 are so far:
-Vcore does not fluctuate anymore.It stays there,even in p95 load.
-Vcore up to 1.7v, versus 1.6v on p4p800se
-chipset stays at least 5C cooler than I865pe
-very good onboard sound

bad ones:
-0.3 sec lost in Pi 1mb
-$150
-latest bios (09.19.2005) does not support dothan...bleah.Had to switch back to 1005 bios.

[sang]

how about Dothan and Artic Cooling Freezer 4 ?
sounds interesting but again,dunno if will fit..
any info apreciated.

[dioSRL]

nice job sang! I have (spiderr) a slk900, dothan and asus ready for action, but we managed to break apart (temporarily) the good old Thermalright without a proper method to put it on the cpu. Now it sits on a crappy celly-d until we find a way to stick to the dothan.

PS: I think I know that delta Very helpful 2 years ago (I think) 2.4C@4GHz 50*C full load with open window in the middle of the winter It's the best fan ever made, 80mm is more than enough, it has such a tremendous power, in a small footprint.
