looking for dual athlon board w/screw holes
In pictures, it looks like the tyan tiger mp board doesn't have the holes around the sockets that is required to use a maze waterblock.
Is there a MP board out that has the appropriate holes around both sockets?? |
I thought that the holes are part of the Socket A spec. Joe has one; maybe he will drop in and verify whether they are present or not.
Even with the holes though I am not sure there is going to be space around the socket for a Maze2. I would consider the Maze1C instead, since they take up much less space and mount on the tabs of the motherboard. |
The Tyan Thunder K7 seems to have: Tyan K7 Product Page
The Tyan Tiger MP doesn't seem to have them. |
Not all boards have the holes. My friend has a MSI board I forget which one and it has no board holes. We were like o crap good thing you bought the Maze 1C and not the Maze 2 :)

MSI's suck. I'd have laughed at him for buying it. ;)
|
I was about to shoot myself for buying the MSI board based on the kt266a chipset (i had to, it was the only one that supported raid) but it was actually surprisingly stable. They are a very innovative company. Anyway, I think they deserve some props for being the first ones to throw out a board with USB2.0 on board.

Wow that sucks! I didnt notice that.
I was thinking that I would get an Tiger MP to play with some H2O cooling but I guess not. My Thunder has the holes but I am not watercooling that rig ( yet). |
Early revisions of the Thunder had the holes, but no Tiger's have the holes.
Wait just a bit (early Dec) for the Epox, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte boards to appear, most of them should have the holes. In particular, watch for the Asus, it has 1mhz fsb steps, multiplier adjust, voltage adjust, etc |
sweet, I just hope the boards are at most 12" long, or else it won't fit cause of the 10x8x2 heatercore I've got mounted in front.

almost all of them will be normal dual cpu size, like an Abit VP6, not a Tyan Thunder K7
