Slot A Waterblock?

airspirit · 11-19-2002, 02:16 PM

Does anyone know where one can be found? Alternately, does anyone know where I can get instructions on how to install a more standard waterblock to the processor card? I've been looking all morning and have had no luck.

I have two Athlons I will eventually plan to WC them. I haven't found any Slot-A waterblocks available commercially, so I just planned on making my own.

I was running a slot 1 PIII 650 oc/d to 975 but it decided to die so I'm now running a celeron 366@456 :P measely I know but I'm buying parts for a new comp. Anyway I bought a aluminum WB from http://www.leufkentechnologies.com/watercooling.shtml but their webpage has since moved. BeCooling makes a clamp http://becooling.safeshopper.com/6/13.htm?710 . Basicly all that you would have to do is buy a waterblock that has the inlets on the side and you could build yourself a hold down very easly with an old computer case (for scrap metal) and a Dremel tool.

Cool ... I'll just combine this with a Maze1 from DD and should be fine. Thanks, man!

Whoops, I guess I better ask question number 2: do you need to have a cooling solution on the cache chips on the slocket? I saw an article on OCAU that showed him running without anything there, but is that good for long term use? Its not that I'm going to be overclocking the thing ... much (Athlon 700@770, currently, and that is probably the limit of what I'm going to do), so will running the cache chips bare burn them out if the processor is adequately cooled?

Your welcome.

Like I said I was running a slot 1 PIII 650 @ 975 which was as high as my mobo would support. I ran it at stock voltage and never had stability problems. With a slocket it may be different but with the two slot 1 cpus that I've ran on this thing I havent had problems.

Someone else may be able to help you more but I dont think that you'll have a problem.

quess what those 4 bolts are there for...

airspirit · 11-24-2002, 11:11 AM

Ooh ... in your experience, #Rotor, have you had to cool your cache?

Many people have reported that they were able to get higher overclocks by cooling the cache, but no formal tests were ever done.

You may wish to check the rating of your cache chips. Depending on their rating and the cache multiplier of your processor module, you might not end up running them very far out of spec.

If you want, you should be OK passively cooling them with a cut down HS.

I also agree with Kevin; I don't recall ever seeing any valid testing done with cooling on the cache, even back when Slot A was popular.

Also, if I recall correctly, the original AMD heatplate did not contact the cache chips. Is that correct?

I believe that the later ones did, though I can't state that authoritatively.
