| 557651 | 2007-06-09 11:46:00 | For a Socket 370 Motherboard. (assuming you can still get em) Anyone know of a heatsink/fan combo that uses those 4 holes on the mobo around the CPU socket? The plastic bits that the Heatsink clip onto have worn out. So am left with one option. It's a 1ghz P3 using @ 133mhz FSB (quite a rarity these days) |

| 557652 | 2007-06-09 12:56:00 | That is quite a rarity for a s370 cpu. I've got a couple of standard heatsink/fan combos lying around, but no ones that use the other holes you're speaking of sorry. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 557653 | 2007-06-09 14:12:00 | have you considered looping some rubber bands through the holes and over the heatsink?:D | motorbyclist (188) | ||

| 557655 | 2007-06-09 23:03:00 | rubber bands proberly won't get it tight enought. i think the old alpha heatsinks where screw mounted. check out OCNZ forums, mayby someone has something still. |

| 557656 | 2007-06-10 07:22:00 | well get really strong rubber bands:D and maybe some glue, or chewing gum and blutack :lol: now seriously, i'm no expert on the older heatsinks, but with a bit of sticky thermal paste rubber bands would do the trick. just don't drop/knock the computer too often.... (i'm assuming the heatsink is reasonably light) |
