Erk, i've read the guides and they all say 'put on no pressure!!!' but I put it in and it kinda goes in but its not quite properly and rocks from corner to corner needs a bit of brute force? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean inserting the cpu into the socket ??? it MUST fit without presure. there`s a square on one side, be sure you hit the right side .... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm pretty sure i've got the corners correctly aligned |
||||||||

Socket A? I had to use a screwdriver to get that clasp thing to connect properly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup socket A |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i only did it once. i also thought it would be heavy but it wasn`t. the chip just slipped into. when it doesn`t fit i can just tell you to check if you got the right socket/cpu ..... |
||||||||

I mean, I had a job when I was 15 putting socket A cpu's in but that was years ago....and last I heard one I built blew up! |
||||||||

|
|
go practice ! or go plastic i dunno =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go plastic! |
||||||||
|

DUH! I think I just worked it out...there's a little ribbon in the middle of the socket A slot and that's what's stopping it drop in properly! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw the ribbon is thing so I can monitor the CPU temp |
||||||||

Sorry, damn I was talking about the heatsink- I didn't use a screwdriver on the chip! |
||||||||

|
cpu temp is a great athlon feature ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I used to have it around 67 degrees before fitting my 3 case fans! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine is constantly working on 50 degrees |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahaha I wasn't going to use a screwdriver on the chip! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
uuuuuaaaahhhh everything over 70degres gets expensive. i got my 1000mhc running @ 37 celcius :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you test an Athlons temperature? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahja - try the SOFTWARE cooler - called VCool. it helps you save your cpu and, of course, saving money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u can see it in bios as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vcool appears in the system tray and shows cpu as well as hardcase temperature ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's pretty cool! I managed to get it in. I just pushed down the temp ribbon a bit and the athlon fell into place! cheers guys |

may the force be with you ! 8) |

DONT PUT ANY PRESSURE ON IT! I SNAPPED A CELERON 600 AS A RESULT! Make sure you get a BIG BIG ass fan to go on it. A Cooler Master or something, factory fans work good buy after market high-performance fans work better. And your BIOS is the best way to check temp. |

haha, a bit late there Ctrl.... =) As for fans and heatsinks, i'm getting the Globalwin CBK-58 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_CPU _Coolers_2.html its supposed to be pretty good. And also, whats better to go between them, a Shim or Thermal Paste? |
