Broken Socket478 HSF Retention Bracket

RF · October 20th, 2004

When I first booted up my linux machine I went through the normal tweak/configure the bios step. I noticed it had a safety feature to shut the pc down at a certain temp so I set it to 65c. After a while I noticed that the pc was just shutting down without warning so I knew what was up. The problem is that one of the clips on the black retention bracket is snapped off and the HSF isnt being held down all the way.

I managed to get the temps down to about 47c Idle with just hot glue, but if I push just a little harder down on the HSF the temps drop to a nice 42c. Any ideas on how I could fix this? If not, what is a good, _cheap_, hsf that would involve me taking out this bracket to put the new one on.

Ive attached a picture, its a bit blurry but you can see what I mean. Thanks intel/ecs for such cheap plastic ****! :cuss2:

You can buy a new one from most computer shops.. very easy to replace.

/me hugs Albatron for putting a kickass sturdy bracket on.

yea like cooliscool said, stop by your local computer store, and they are bound to have spare retention brackets...those huge circular hsf's (like the one i bought for hushy) require you to remove the stock bracket, and they cost around $35 US.

Gonna pick up the replacement bracket tomorrow I hope, I would get a better hsf if they were only... free

$9.99 (CAD) is better than anything else, and the stock hsf will do just fine.

I removed the broken bracket a few minutes ago. After a while of curse words I managed to scrape my screwdriver against the board twice

Hopefully it still works, they werent tooo bad

well like eternal11 says, you can go l33t status and get one that bolts to the mobo

3. Old SDRam in the ocz case, my DVD-RW bag, Stock celeron hsf, 96mb ddr 2100 waiting to go back on the board, DVD-Rom sitting on the left doing nothing.
4. The first scratch on the board, the worst one

5. Second scratch, not so bad.
6. The bare socket.

your camera needs Macro so bad it's not even funny

**cooliscool** · October 21st, 2004

What's macro? I assume it's a timer where the camera will find the most stable time to take a pic then it snaps. Jesus christ Reich, those pics are hella blurry.

If so, mine has it.

If not, can you explain it hushy?

edit: nm, google fixed me up. Also.. my cam has macro, and it fecking rocks. I wish I would have known this sooner.

It helps so much on close ups.

Look for any button with a flower next to it, that's usually macro. It's in the software on my cam, have to go to the menu to access it.

Check out how much clearer my pics look with macro.

Man how I wish I would have known this sooner.

**hushypushy** · October 21st, 2004

heh, you could've just asked me

(not like you woulda known)

reich, your camera doesnt have it. you have the same camera as eternal11 btw. basically, it changes the focal length. normally it's, say, 2 feet to infinity, but this changes it to 6 inches to 50 feet or something like that.

should go with the 1337 thermalright SP-94 and a 92 mm panaflo high CFM fan set you back 50 bucks US but its worth it

**hushypushy** · October 21st, 2004
