does anybody know if the plastic bracket bolted down to hold an am2 cooler will fit the holes on a socket a (462) board. just a question.

Re: am2 fan on socket a mounting holes
Just a few data points, but not all Socket-A (S462) boards have bolt-down holes for heatsinks. Those that have them also have different (non-standard) footprints - I've seen 2-hole (8 cm), as well as 4-hole (6.5 cm x 3.6 cm) footprints. In both cases, there are SMD passives close to the holes, so they're probably only useful for backplates on the bottom of the mobo to take some of the stress from directly mounted heatsinks (without the plastic socket-side bracket).
Not really the answer you may have been looking for, but I'd guess that most S462 mobos, even with appropriate holes, can't accept plastic brackets designed for Socket AM2. -

Re: am2 fan on socket a mounting holes
AM2 and 939 and 754 are probably interchangeable. I think 462 only had clip on heatsinks.Comment

Re: am2 fan on socket a mounting holes
Zalman and alpha heatsinks utilize this holes.
Due to high pressure based on AMD specs on A/462 cpus, I used bolt on heatsinks instead. I don't really think one lug per side is sufficient unless there is some decent heatsinks that does have at least 2 lugs per side strap.

i used to have a copper based cooler which used all 3 per side. got shipped off when i made a trade.sigpic

Re: am2 fan on socket a mounting holes
Never seen anyone with the heatsinks, seen the holes, just never seen the heatsinks.Comment

Re: am2 fan on socket a mounting holes
You could probably use some zip ties. I haven't done it myself but have heard of others doing it!I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

I already posted this on vogons.
Its a 3d printed custom bracket for socket 478.
I used this AM4 bracket as a base design.
Its to be use with cheap generic clip based cpu cooler.
Reason for doing this is:
- Its hard to get/find a good copper base cooler. Even if you find one, the price is ....
- New generic cooler is cheaper and can use bigger fan (less noise)
I tested the bracket with cheap chinese horizontal cooler + fan taken from CM hyper 212 evo.
The processor that I was using is P4 2.4Ghz prescott.... -
Found some missing pieces (thumbscrews) to one of my retired rigs, my dual Opteron X2 Socket 940 rig, went to move it to replace them, and made an unfortunate discovery:
The freaking plastic heatsink bracket sheared off while sitting. Thank goodness that didn't happen when it was running!
I removed the thermal compound before shooting that... it wasn't until after that I figured out why the cooler came loose, right as I was about to apply fresh
I have some Dead/Disused socket 940 stuff floating around if I want the cheap way to... -
I have seen many posts where the eMMC can be read via a SD card reader, however can the opposite be achieved?
Read/Write a Micro SD Card from an eMMC Socket.
I have a Motherboard with a Kingston BGA153 ball socket, using HS400 bus mode, which is 8bit, as Micro SD is usually 1bit or 4bit mode, I accept that a loss of speed in read/write will occur, but I would sill like to convert.
Theoretically speaking, Im thinking if I hard solder DAT0-3 from eMMC to SD Card Reader, this should force 4-bit mode, or only DAT0 to force 1-bit mode.

Hello, Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket does not work. GH51G LA-L181P, 2x DDR4 RAM, both good, both work well in JDIMM2, neither works in JDIMM1. The laptop displays BIOS, when the JDIMM2 socket is occupied, you can run Linux on USB, then everything seems to work ok, there is internet access and you can browse the contents of the 512 GB SSD in Windows, but starting Windows ends with an eternal spinning circle, maybe there are corrupted files. When the RAM is inserted into the JDIMM1 socket, the laptop starts but there is no image and the downloaded current does not change and the output is ~2.25A....
