Phase unit and Badaxe mobo - any way round this?

[tomos]

there are caps in the way from putting the head on there e.g. pics below (soz for poor quality - camera phone.

so these obviously get in the way of the head

anyone used a phase unit with the bad axe? is there anyway around this prob or could i just push the head down on the caps?

 

[tomos]

cool. never got around to using this unit yet and figured if i'm ever going to use the thing it will be for the conroe when i get it.

thanks for the info mate - got any linkies to any guides on insulating like that?

any links for where to buy the equip needed would be appreciated also


edit - another Q

the flip side of the unit is this:

but then i found this thing:

i'm assuming this is the backplate but does it go above or underneath pic 1?

this thing deffo isnt made for 775 tho.

 

[tomos]

was given a good link on XS for anyone else with a similar prob

here

other link found - putting varnish and liquid tape etc on there
is this right? anyone else done this to their mobo?

is that how you do yours kesnel? is it safe to put varnish on your mobo that way?

 

[tomos]

ok, now have:

Dielectric grease,
acrilic Conforming Spray,
varnish
Artic Ceramique

now need:

neoprene - no clue. google isnt much help for UK sources
sealstring - found for £20
775 mounting kit for mach 2 (this might have sealstring included tho)

 

[tomos]

i think its a chilly1 head but the backplate etc wont fit lga775 mobos as it is. i deffo need the mounting kit as currently i think it will only connect to s939

i need the neoprene but maybe seal string would do the trick to sort it out?

have everything else now

 

[tomos]

prob is, where to buy neoprene from?

would also prefer to have a proper mounting kit as well to be honest

 

[tomos]

will install it when i get home. am an ICQ user for a decade now

 

[tomos]

mate i got mine from the place Gray recommended.

Tomos also i added some pics of my install ion a 939 setup as they may help

EDIT, Looks like the place i get the bits from are sold out also. ill email them for you as they sorted me some out on the off chance once.

ta mate. is appreciated.

cant get yahoo installed for some reason DEP blocks me even if i let it

OC A64 - ta for the advice mate, just want to get a proper kit just in case.

 

[tomos]

yea yea yea, so i'm lazy. sue me

i was plannning on swapping hardware around earlier on and using this then but when the whole conroe thing kicked off - i decided to wait for that

besides, no messing around with coldbug is deffo a plus

 

[tomos]

thanks mate

right now i have everything i need for this (inc neoprene - thank 4Qman)

just need the mounting kit and seal string now and i'm ready to go.

 

[tomos]

one last thing guys - anyone know the dimensions of an lga775 mouting kit? i mean a diagram of sorts to show the distance between the screw points etc?

 

[tomos]

thats what i am thinknig. i just need to buy a ruler tho

i have a drill and the spare bits. i might jsut get some seal string seperatelly and screw some extra holes into what i already have

 

[tomos]

Kesnel, did you put dielectric grease on the socket itself before putting the CPU in? i could see why this would be done on 939 boards but these 775 ones dont have pins or anything so would that cause probs?

p.s you cant imagine how much that threw me off when i first saw the socket.

 

[tomos]

i was worried about making the holes in the current mounting kit to fit a 775 mobo but a friend is letting me borrow a mounting bracket for his zalman res. can just use that as a guide afterwards and use a dremel to drill

 

[tomos]

fingers crossed i can do it this week. just need to work up the courage to start the whole process off.

as of now i have:

seal string
PCB laquer
neoprene
dielectric grease
mounting kit now is sorted - 4 holes, which fit 775
varnish

just need to guts to start the process off now going off to italy on sunday so have to get it going by then or it'll wait till the 30th

fingers crossed

 

[tomos]

ok, semi update. thanks to the zalman bracket i now have modded the backplate properly (will leave the zalman on the back as its metal - just in case for pressure) and also have the same 4 holes in the head part.

problem now is that i have run out of screws

i need 4 long ones but stupidly forgot to buy these so am left with 1!

- have put other smaller screws in place to show the holes

the board is sprayed, have black blu-tac stuff for the caps already done. neoprene is partially applied. but i cant do anything without these damn screws!

am off to italy tomorrow so this will have to wait till i come back. am visiting my parents first so hopefully he will have some for me to bring back with me

on a side note, finally got another project underway

chrome steel is a BITCA to cut through tho

 

[tomos]

HEEEELP - need help finding specific screws/bolts

cant find these online, even with google at all.

like this basically

i need M3/3.5 sized ones but have to be 3 inches long (75mm). looked on google etc and no joy. best i've found is 40mm but thats just too short.

can anyone help? i need 4 of these and dont want to have to buy an entire mounting kit just for the screws

have tried a local store in liverpool (rapid hardware if you know it) but they have nothing close to this.

 

[tomos]

that would be absolutely fantastic!

thank you

 

[tomos]

thanks

 

[tomos]

Hiya Tom, any news on those screws?

would cover costs of course

thanks
