mobo holes distances

Flavius · 01-31-2003, 03:10 PM

Does anyone know the exact distances between the 4 holes on socket A mobos? I need em to drill the holes on my wb's base plate and its pretty messy to uninstall my Alpha 8045 to measure

I would need distances between the centers of the holes, of course

THANKS

g.l.amour · 01-31-2003, 03:12 PM

this has been asked one time too many. i want to help you. but try the search button first. there are about 3 threads that answer your exact question.

dima y · 01-31-2003, 03:41 PM

cause i steal someones bandwidth

here you go

Flavius · 01-31-2003, 03:53 PM

Thanks mate, your actually a good person.
Just to make sure, the distances seem to be quoted from the edge of the holes, not from the centers. Means I now need to know the hole diameter

GLAmour, I didnt search as I thought I must be the only one that lazy not to measure for himself

Offtopic, I have a very good friend in Waregem

g.l.amour · 01-31-2003, 05:22 PM

io flavius, i hope i wasn't too blunt. just that i answered that q already 3 times where i found that same drawing with that same search button.

btw, if u wonder if that info is correct, it is, my WB's are made by that drawing. it shows them distances diameter to diameter, but they are center to center ofcourse.

hooah, my girlfriend is from waregem, i live 30km from waregem (which is far in belgian standards, lol).

and another btw, welcome to these boards flavius. be sure to post worklog if u make a block. for me that is more fun reading than looking at a soap series on tv.

Flavius · 01-31-2003, 05:27 PM

I knew Ghent is close to W., otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it

By any chance, is your name Steve ?

g.l.amour · 01-31-2003, 05:49 PM

my name is very very very secret, but i'll tell anyway, it's bart.

the custom watercooling scene in belgium is quite small though. i think u can count diY WB makers on one hand.

Flavius · 01-31-2003, 05:55 PM

So you are not related to the lady I know in Waregem..would have been the coincidence of the year

)

About the work Im doing now, theres a thread I started here.
I looks ugly but I want it to be effective not pretty. And all I used was a saw, and pliers + hammer to fold the top.

g.l.amour · 01-31-2003, 06:28 PM

ahh, i remember seeing it.

i was wondering how u were going to seal it and make the bottom flat. but maybe i was to quick looking

chewyboy · 01-31-2003, 09:36 PM

I'm curious about something, what size holes do you guys make in your wb's for mounting?

thanks

-J- · 01-31-2003, 11:16 PM

now you mension you got an alpha 8045.

this may also be usefull.

Flavius · 02-01-2003, 06:29 AM

LOL J, I do have this page somewhere around here, probably in the Alpha box which i saved as it was a cute box

Amour, yep, read my posts carefully and youll get the picture.

thank you for the pic

this will help many of us DIYr's

thanks again!

CheeseBall · 02-02-2003, 05:44 PM

Great drawing, too bad the machine shop I will be working in is based on inches.

Guess I'll have to do some converting.

SysCrusher · 02-02-2003, 05:58 PM

So it is offset by 3mm! Jeeesh. I could of done better. So that means the center of my base is off by 3mm atleast. Wonder if I See a difference with the offset included in my base?

WinFlex · 02-12-2003, 09:14 PM

doh. one inch = 25.4mm ... remember that one, it's an exact value!
Also, nobody has specified the exact diameter of these holes. The alpha pal heatsink appears to be using #6 ANSI mounting screws. Can anybody confirm this or specify an exact hole diameter

TNX, Felix

LiquidRulez · 02-13-2003, 03:10 AM

WinFlex.
I got an old Shuttle AK31 that measures 0.138" on the mounting holes...and thats exactly the measurement for a ANSI 6-32 thread is.
Dont know if this helps at all......All my other MB's have the screws epoxied in for mounting, so I cant measure em' for ya.

WinFlex · 02-13-2003, 08:20 AM

tnx.. I'll go with #6 nylon screws

#6 will fit all mobo holes. the original hole size used to be 0.210 inch, but most mobo manufacturers have reduced it to 0.150 inch.

In the USA, use 6-32 or 6-24 (?) machine screws. Nylon is just fine.

dr.chaos · 02-13-2003, 09:13 AM

does anybody have a drawing of the P4 retention mechanism?

thanks

WinFlex · 02-13-2003, 12:23 PM

BigBen, thanks alot for that advise. Do you happen to know if the new Abit Nforce2 board uses .15 inch holes?

bigben2k · 02-13-2003, 12:35 PM

I have no idea!:shrug:

You can ask at AMDMB forums.

Yeah..Id be interested in that too.

WinFlex · 02-14-2003, 08:42 AM

Lol, BigBen, you have that Asus Nforce2 board I was talking about, the Asus A7N8X deluxe...
If you ever get a chance, could you measure the diameter of those mounting holes (I think they should be in the neighbourhood of .14 inches!

)
