CT-479 mounting tricks?

[walaka7]

Im currently @ 2805 mhz 1.5 vcore on a 1.7 (735)
38-40 * C 100% load
Folding stable PI stable

With the stock HS I was getting 2350 folding stable and 2550 pi stable. I had a hard time keeping temps under 50* so i never volted it

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

Nice. How about some close-up pics?

Here is some mounting I did for a water block. This seems like the place to post it. The shim can be made from aluminum bought at Lowes. Lowes sells .8mm stock for a few bucks. I think the die is .82mm.


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.

Here it is holding down an innovatek cool rev3

Nice work, I like it!

[Malachia]

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:


(Notice pins clipped off so evap housing can fit. See also, ghetto shim pads)


(Proof of concept, as assembled in hardware store)


(On P4P800-SE - effective if not elegant)


(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:



And this:



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...

Were did you buy those two things?

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:

crazypc.com

xoxide.com

hardwaregods.net

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.

Im looking at a XP-90C with a nice 'n quiet 120mm fan mediated by a 92-120mm adapter. Seem like a perfect lownoise solution since the Dothan dont really benifit that much from massive cooling and stock seem a little too small for it...

[charlie]

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.

my little cpu is running very cool with 1.4v and stays under 38c/load

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?

[vanovich]

#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.

[uclajd]

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.
