How do I attach a heatsink to a de-cased slot 1?

[Godfodda]

Since I've not worked with slot 1 procs before, I'm a bit stupid on how to do this. It's a slot 1 P2 400 that has been de-cased (if that's an actual term). It has 4 holes around the actual processor.

I'm unsure if a normal slot 1 HSF can attach to this or if I need to rig something up to make it work. I have one or two old sock370 HSFs laying around that I could probably make work, but I'm wondering what the correct way is to do it. TIA

Read carefully.

What you do is take a case screw and a screw driver.

You put the case screw in the holes on at a time and then you take the screw driver and push and try to pop the thing out remember not to apply too much pressure or you can snap the cardridge(spelling.)

It should be a fast pop and you don't wanna go slowly since you'll apply more pressures to your hands and may snap the slot. There's always a guide here in the overclocker's database that also shows how to do it with diagrams or go to google.com and search for "Slot 1 P3 Heatsink Removal" or something similar to that text.


Good Luck

Not interested in removal since it doesn't have one. I want to know how to attach one.

But I will check the fron page to see if anything is mentioned there.

Superglue would work if you don't mind the possible permanence of it :)

If you still have the casing, cut out the spacers. That's what I did. If you don't have it, you'll have to use the ends of those cheap BIC pens as a substitute. Either way, you'll need a spacer of some sort

Damn I knew I did something wrong there..

I heard if you removed it good enough the pins holding the heatsink to the cartridge will go back fine as long as you didn't bend or break anything.

As long as you are using a SECC2 heatsink, you should be able to mount it back with some rubber or plastic washers on the back side of the card and some spacers to help keep it from mounting crooked. Just use some screws long enough to get through the heatsink.

The casing is completely gone. I bought it this way. So if I understand everyone correctly, a slot 1 HSF will mount to the remaining PCB as long as I have some sort of spacer to support it?

Forgive my ignorance. As I said, I've not worked with slot processors before and have only even seen the HS for one in passing. I think I'm gonna visit some sales sites to get a better idea of their hole layout. It's not like I can do anything with it yet anyway... gotta find a PSU. ($35 at the local comp shop for a 250, the cheapest in town. :eek: )

35 for a 250 watt generic!? Here in Ottawa its 30(20USD) for 300wat.

If you are not o/cing, look for Golden Orb. I remember one on
Ebay recently....about $12.00. Simple spring clip installation.
Note--not all slot one's are alike, hole pattern is different.

My last 4 overclocked chips were slot 1 and i removed the stock heatsink and fans toplace my own heatsink or waterblock. If you find a heatsink big enough to cover the 4 holes that go through the chip just make marks on the heatsink which will line up with these holes and tap the heatsink for small bolts. Then place a rubber gasket on the backof the chip and then a thin sheet of metal with holes drilled through to align with the chip holes. Then screw 4 small bolts into the heatsink and then stack the other parts onto these bolts beginning with the chip , rubber gasket then the plate. Secure the ends with small nuts.

Yes. This town sucks for buying computer parts. College town of about 50-60k people. It's nuts here. I even saw a Celeron 566 system in one a few months ago for $1300. :eek: I only buy here if I need a HD cable or something small that would be price-prohibitive to ship.

Aha! I didn't even think of tapping a socket HS. That's probably the way I'll go. pappypete's suggestions of the gorb with the spring clip sounded good, too, but I do plan on overclocking. That's something I'll look at, but the drill/tap would be a nice little hack to do. :)

Godfodda.......I don't know what you think about Ebay, but,
lot's of slot 1 HS/F combo's.....multiple fans etc.
