Upgrading your LGA socket

Ξ October 30th, 2005 | → 0 Comments | ∇ |

Im reguarly astounded into frustration by Intel’s sheer brilliance in evolving a WORSE heatsink retention mechanism than ever previously devised. I FINALLY sorted it out but getting: 4x M4 bolts, several fibre and nylon washers, some pretty heavy duty springs and fashioning this hold down devise. Now i can get a perfect contact every time (without trying to sound like an advert).
The only good thing about LGA heatsinks is that the standard plastic feet can be easily removed and reapplied if need be (if, for example you come to sell the heatsink). Future revisions will be better, including wingnuts for easy tightening and some proper sized washers.
