Sideway mounted s939 Sockets

Cyrus104 · 07-30-2004, 02:23 PM

I have a MachII and I was looking at getting a new motherboard. I just got a 939 and I got the Asus 939 deluxe board for now but I was looking at the DFI board and the problem that I am seeing is that these boards have the socket mounted at a 90 degree angle from the normal boards. I was looking at my cooler and I could not see how it would rotate like that. I was just wondering what everyone else was going to do if they used the MachII?

Thanks for the Help!

You should be able to rotate the head into the proper position, I've had mine (Mach I) in both the horizontal and vertical positions. The one thing you have to remember is NOT to twist it into position using the evaporator head as you may end up tearing it off the tubing and conduit. It's better to GENTLY and gradually bend the hose so that the evap head seats correctly. I know it makes difference how the evap is mounted with the Mach I, but I don't know if that applys to the Mach II as well. Your manual, or one of the Mach II owners, should be able to answer that question.
