Building a Sossaman rig?

Then we just need heatsinks and boards

Does this need special heatsinks ?

If you are using a rackmount chassis which would lay horizontally, you could simply place a piece of metal with thermal adhesive paste on cpu die.

I think i'm going to use thermal adhesive and glue some cheap heatsinks to the chips.

That looks like a good solution to me as well, it's the cheapest way to go and some old P3 heatsinks would do the job just fine.

Even though the motherboard description says socket 478, they are 604 mounting right?

The socket is 479 and the mounts are s604.

Well kinda special, i found only one cooler which fit to that board:

Thanks. These are the sinks that Dave uses, they're a lot cheaper. Maybe we could do a group buy on them for all the guys in Europe?

Man those are cheap
Good thing is than it doesn't matter which heatsinks u use with 32W TDP cpus

Guys:
1) The board ONLY uses DDR2-400(PC2-3200) ECC REG memory..ONLY!!!!
2) Only the HS from OEMXS work..ONLY!!!!!!
There were two different mounts used for these chips.
Intel chose one, everyone else used another.
Intel's version is a socket 604/771 hole parrern in the MB BUT you can't use any of the regular 604/771 HS for it.
Now here's the good part:
OEMXS is 19 miles from my house.
I have bought these from them twice.
First time I had them shipped, they charged me $25.00 to ship the two heatsinks.
Second time I went and picked up 8 of them and they cost me $10.00 each and just the time and gasoline to drive 38 miles..
3)I know the guy at the motherboard place a little.
I'm sure I can get him to send me a "bunch" of the boards at one time and save some shipping.
4) Who in Europe is going to send US in the US some of the 2000 sossamans at that wonderfull price?

Edit: Good catch s0lid:
Those HS will work also, smaller than the others but pure copper.
I wonder how they would work..

See if those are available in Europe at a decent price before we continue.

Dynatron contact page in Europe with a German contact address down on the page:

If someone can take care of the boards and the sinks, I can take care of the CPUs. Interested? I think I could get them shipped to the US for €40/pair, going down when more items are added of course.

I don't think the mem will be an problem.
Nice, we get coolers from u, maybe the mobos at same?

Well, jcool is gonna take care of the mobos already. He's gonna also check for those sossaman cpus and he lives in germany where those cpus are.

If somebody would send the mobos to Jcool, he could redirect some mobos for us... Yes he said he's gonna take 5-10 of those mobos

Jcool correct me if i'm wrong

BTW 600th post

[Martijn]

Ah good. That would save a lot on shipping within Europe as well. I haven't found those Dynatrons though, they seem to be pretty rare?

40.00 EUR = 57.2835 USD
So a pair of 2000 sossamans for $60.00USD shipped?
That's a steal!

The standard boxes I use cost €5,25 to have them shipped if they weigh less than .5kg. That should be possible. 10 CPUs will fit in there. I think $50/pair would be doable. Let me check what it costs to get 10 shipped to my home.

EDIT: They're out of stock. Lucky me, I got 4 of them

If someone needs a pair of these, I am willing to trade them for a board and a pair of sinks
