I am currently trying to make a concept on a water cooling unit for an intel pentium 3 chipset (which fits in the lga 775 socket) in autocad and I'd love to take measurements myself but I'd sadly fry my processor trying, hence the reason I ask on this forum, what is the width and length of the cooled surface on such processor? And how far is the mounting brackets holes located away from the lga socket? I'm dying to know since my googling has reached imminent failure. Thanks in advance.
if i was home i would break out the measuring stick and help you out but sadly that wont be till thursday. I just wanted to know why you would fry your chip by doing it yourself? cant you just turn the pc off, measure it, put the cooler back on and restart the pc?
I'd need more thermal paste for such operation, and rubbing alcohol. The last time i tried doing such as you describe the thermal paste did not work efficiently afterwards, making it possible for me to boil eggs on my cpu, else I'd have doing such
i hope your not confusing your sockets but rather your cpu's. the p3 does not use the 775 socket. it uses 370 or 478. so you would referring to a p4 at the earliest model to use that socket, and the p4 has also used the 478 socket.
