A guide to improvised mounting of Prometia and Vapochill on AMD A64/FX51
 

In due time cpu kits will be offered from both nVentiv and Asetek for the the AMD A64/FX51 mb's.
But for those of us that don't want to wait, we must improvise !

Yes, actually it comes with the mb and AMD includes an extra one with their Retail A64/FX51

the A64/FX51 is super expensive everywhere Koensa :)

thanks for the great howto MajorSlaughter :ws:

Thanks jmke !

but what does it??

I think it is a backplate for mounting your heatsink , this is how it looks to me, and MJ also posted it ;)

:grin:

Yes, its just a back plate for the heat sink mounting bracket to reduce flex and distribute pressure more evenly. It's part of the AMD socket 940/754 design specifications.

some photos from XtremeSystems forums where someone followed MJ's guide:

Excellent work MS!


So when are you gonna break 27k?:D

I'm at 26k right now, need a new bios from Asus to let get get my fsb over 260mhz ! stuck ya know ;)

All the ram I have won't work right on A64 at 1:1 either, which will be ok once they fix the fsb limitation anyway.

Very nice MajorSlaughter!
The A64 is nr 1 in my wishlist:ws:

nice work MS.
