P4 Mounting / Hold-down
I'm curious what other people have done with their blocks to get them P4 mounted. I'm toying with the idea of using the retail heatsink hold down device on a waterblock - but was also curious about how the mobo holes hold up. Just asking for advice from the experienced - thanks!

Given the massive amount of pressure that the stock intel HS assembly puts on the cpu (often bends the hell out of the mobo as well) I would say that you would be fine using a similar setup to secure a water block.
I personally use a 2mm copper plate on the back side of the mobo with metal bolts. |
Yeah, I use 4 bolts with wing nuts on my maze3.
|
Anyone got the spacing on those holes? I just don thave my mobo right now, or id use, le ruler - but what can I do pictures are probably more precise anyway :P
|
spacing? just tighten till you have good enough tension

Socket 478 holes are spaced:
76.2mm x 59.44mm or 3in x 2.34in |
