SOCKET 478 QUESTIONS!

[human2k]

What just wondering cuz I was thinking about uprading towards a 1.6a/sis 645 combo. Are socket 478 coolers easier to install than socket A's? DO you have a higher chance of cracking the cores? And how do you install it? DO you screws like how u install the alpha?



TIA

Socket 478 coolers usually rely on the plastic bracket around the Socket itself. The retail Pentium 4 cooler is the easiest HSF I have ever installed.

You cannot crack a Pentium 4 processor because of the metal Integrated Heat Spreader over the core.
