what is the best way to keep the slocket in the slot 1? i have no retention brackets and on a tower case where it just kinda hangs in there precariously . . . well, i get a little worried. Don;t like the cpu being able to flop around like that. Anyone have any links to any specific retention brackets or similar mechanisms that deal with this issue?
thanks!
 
Most all Slot 1 motherboards came with the retention brackets? Have it in a box somewhere maybe?
 
Dunno, my slocket came with little tabs to secure it to the standard PII mounting brackets that came with my mobo. Solid as a (plastic) rock.
 
I am pretty sure you have to have the later slot 1 mounts that came out after the slot1 P3 came out, the early PII SEC cartridge type mounts will not hold either a slocket, slot 1 P3 or similar chip that was not fully enclosed in the SEC cartridge. I had the same problem with a Tyan Thunder 100 board and had to go to a local computer shop and talk them into swapping brackets with me. Just my two cents.
 
yeah that's exactly my problem, flashed the BIOS on a few LX boards and was trying to fit in some celery 400+ CPUs on slockets. they like to wobble. hmmm. didn't know there was a newer style of bracket . . . gonna have to look around i guess unless someone has a URl with pics 🙂

My circa-1998 Abit BH6 certainly doesn't have any post-P3 mounts! The little tabs that came with my slocket allow a SECC cartridge P-II mounting system to hold the not-fully-enclosed slocket securely. However, the SECC Celeron-type mounting brackets won't work with any slocket, AFAIK.
