Man you talk about a sucka...design. The first problem is the 4 inch long heat sink that comes with the 1000 MZ PIII chip I bought. It would not fit on my CUBX motherboard(Intel's comment in the instructions was to buy another motherboard; well thanks a lot Intel). It probably won't fit on anyone else's either except Intel's. Well I cut a corner section off of it to make it fit. Then POP, there went one of the plastic tabs on the CPU socket when I pushed the tighting clip down. Man, this sucks I thought. It's O.K. though, I put my golden orb HS that has a clip on connecter on the socket. The Orb has a second metal clip opening that fits over the longer plastic tab on the edge of the MB socket. The heatsink now rocks up on one side and does not make full contact with the chip. I mounted a bracket that extends over the corner of the heat sink that does not make contact and tapped a 1/4-20 hole in the bracket right over the heatsink edge. I then rigged a spring loaded screw that I can screw in to push down on the corner of the heatsink. This is cool, I can watch the cpu temperature change while tighting the screw and adjust it for the lowest temperture based on the pressure placed on the CPU.
Has anyone else had a problem with breaking on the plastic tab on your MB socket with that Intel sucka...heatsink clip.
