SEC, SECC slot 1, slot A, the difference?

[theplanb]

Actually i've never seen any one of them.. and the informationn on those are not readily available..
Can you tell me the difference between those packages, and the required shape of HSF on each of them?

Secc2, is the slot 1 cpu, such as the PIII. Slot A is an Athlon classic, or can be an Athlon Tbird. Visit some cooling sites, especially those having pictures. No, I'm not gonna do all of the work for you.

 

[theplanb]

Which cooling site would you recommend?
Hmm so.. what's SEPP then.

Intel Slot 1 processors come in 3 formats:

SECC: found on Intel Pentium II processors. Black plastic and metal cartridge which covers the entire unit. SECC stands for Single Edge Contact Cartridge

SECC2: found on very late Pentium II processors, and all Slot 1 Pentium III processors. Black plastic cover over the front of the unit, with an exposed back side for the HSF unit. Processor die is mounted in an OLGA (organic land-grid array) FC-PGA style, which allows for best contact and cooling.

Intel now calls both SECC and SECC2, SC242.

SEPP: Found on all Slot 1 Celeron processors. Exposed PCB with processor. No plastic or metal covering.

Slot A: Physically the same as the Intel SECC unit, except that it is facing in the other direction. Electrically they are completely incompatible.
