I saw reference to that name when I googled the mobo, but no luck with finding any other useful info on it. The only info I could find calls it an FIC Ice Cube... I got the case and mobo/hsf as an afterthought because I bought some old stuff from a local business that was liquidating. The guy...
It is a SFF cube and I only have around 2 1/2" of clearance to the bottom of the drive cage.
It is indeed the standard Skt 478 mounting bracket, so I just need the clips.
I did find a used (and fugly) all aluminum hsf at my local shop for $5,
but I had hoped to use this one because it looks...
I got this HS/F with a barebones P4 VG61 Ice Cube but the clips were missing.
The heatsink has two side ledges so it appears that the clips should be a simple
affair that just attaches to the standard P4 mobo bracket by clamping over the
ledges. FIC no longer even has this barebones in their...
Thanks for the reply. I found an obscure reference on the intel site saying that 69C is its max temp, so hopefully if I can keep it under the low 60's I should be OK. I reseated it with some AS5 I had in the old bin and am going to let it acclimate/cure at idle for today and then try running...
I have an older very cramped flex-atx shuttle box with a heatpipe type hsf setup. I recently replaced the 2.53Ghz P4 with a 3.06Ghz/512k/533fsb HT P4 cpu, and noticed that at idle the bios shows mid-to-upper 40C temps and under load (one core thread gets up to around 80-90% and the other to...
CPU-Z? D'oh! I'm such an idiot not to think of that since I already have it installed on the desktop I'm currently using. I only sporadically mess around with my computers, so I tend to forget the handy stuff I used earlier. CPU-Z shows that the processor in there is a skt 478 400fsb...
No, I have some old AGP cards and since it is PC133 memory and the slot is only a 4x AGP anyway its not like that mobo was going to support some serious gaming. It currently has the ATI RagePro 16MB it came with, and I have a Radeon 7000 and an old SIS315-64T that I can put in there if it needs...
That was my thought too, but I like to get second opinions. I guess I can always find a PCI Video card if the DDR board needs a graphics update. Looks like that one goes to my kids...
I'm not trashing the P4-1.6Ghz PC133 board, though, it will be a good upgrade to my brothers P3-450 that he is...
What I meant was maximum 512MB each slot, I should have clarified. I know that 256MB works, it came with one and I currently have 2x256MB in there now. Not that it matters, I think for a system this old 1.5GB is more than enough. I'll probably just run it with 3x256MB anyway once I get it all...
And it appears it depends on the board's origin and OEM use. The ASUS version manual allows 3x1GB. Since I have the HP version (narrowed it down to the Vectra VL420) its manual states 3x512MB only. When I go to crucial memory finder, it states that the max memory is 3GB, but then it has an...
Perhaps that is possible. I think I read online that it has a limitation that says it can use 3 sticks of PC100, but only 2 sticks of PC133. Like I said previously, I just took that stick out and replaced it with 2x256MB of some other (smaller, normal size) PC133 I had and it boots fine. I'll...
The best one (using the P4-2.6Ghz) will go to my kids for the purposes stated above, the least one (using the P4 1.6Ghz) will probably go to my brother to replace a P3-450Mhz box that he is currently using. The lesser build will be for surfing and light word processing most likely.
