UPDATE 5/4/99:
Fans are coming in tomorrow and more ALPHAs by Friday so things are looking OK. I found two sites that have details about mounting the ALPHA P125s so please link to them for illustrated instructions:
And HERE for a detailed picture of the ALPHA P125 package.
UPDATE 5/1/99:
When you get the ALPHA P125CM60, it will come with the following parts: One Celeron rear mount with screws, 8 long screws to mount the fans, small sheet metal screws to mount the cover on the heatsink and 4 chrome plated screws to mount the P125 on a PII. This is done by screwing the heatsink into the screw holes which the Intel fan used.
The Socket 7 comes with 4 screws for the fan and a mounting clip. Also note that there are small aluminum tubes used as spacers in some of the screw packets – you will quickly understand why these are needed as some of the screws are too long and need spacers.
UPDATE 4/29/99:
Just received first shipment of 15 P125M60s and 20 PFH6035MFCs; ALPHA is shipping what they have and we should have 30 more Socket 7s hopefully by early next week (we depleted their inventory – more stock due early next week). Fans should be here by Monday.
I will try to get these for anyone who wants one, but after this first shipment is completed I have to order ALPHAS in multiples of at least 12 to keep prices reasonable, so orders will be placed in a queue. I will not deposit funds until the queue is filled to ship. I have purchased 100 fans and after these the fan price will go up about $2 each because unless I can see enough demand for an additional 100 fans, I will not buy another 100.
When you receive the P125CM60, instructions will be in Japanese; It is all obvious but I will include some notes to go with it. The Socket 7 needs no instructions. You will be required to assemble these units which means you need a Philips head screwdriver – this is not complicated stuff! All screws required come with the unit.
As a further clarification, the P125CM60 fits both Celeron and PII’s and the PFH6035MFC fits Socket 5, 7 and 370; the Socket 370 is what all Intel PPGA’s use, such as on the ABIT BM6.
After a fair degree of running around, here is where I stand: I have ordered 50 ALPHA PFH6035MFC Socket 7s and 15 P125CM60 PII/Celeron heatsinks and SUNON 60mm, 22cfm, 34 dBA, double ball-bearing 3 wire fans to go with them. I will continue to order ALPHAs in bulk but must do so in lots of at least 12 to keep prices down. Pricing with USPS Priority Mail shipping included as follows:
Socket 7 – no fan: $21.50 (ALPHA direct price with shipping: $25.40)
Socket 7 with fan: $30.00 (ALPHA direct price with shipping: $37.20)
Celeron no fans: $38 (ALPHA direct price with shipping: $43.70)
Celeron 2 fans: $55 (ALPHA direct price with shipping: $65.60)
These prices with shipping are good for up to 2 units – any more will incur extra shipping charges.
