    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.

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

    I have the same metal studs, obviously, but I definitely need a shim before putting the evaporator head on.

    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.

    Good luck, and don't forget to report back since the height of the dothan core perhaps is a tad higher than the celeron's.

    Why not just remove the foam from the base of the ct-479 cooler and put it on the dothan chip it's working ok for me with a xp-90 mounted on it.

    Thought of that, but I find it hard to get off without ripping it.

    Any tips?

    A blow dryer or heat gun would work to loosen the adhesive on the other side.

    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.

    FYI, the Dothan core is .82 mm above the silicon.

    I used a sharp knife to life a corner and slowly pulled using the knife with any tricky bits.

    So 1mm neoprene should be just right. The type that is used for wetsuit.

    Is it the p4 skt478 head kit thats needed for the mach 2.

    Still need to wait for a decent board for pci-e as the p4gd1 doesnt seem to good.

    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?

    Hows that one helping out your overclocking? Significantly higher clocks than on stock?
