Fried mobo & chips wanted (socket 478)

Sir Random · 2003-11-15 15:03:40

I already posted this in the "Wanted" forum but I figure this may be a better forum to find burnt out mobos/cpus :D If you have a fubar'd P4 mobo or cpu lying around and would like to help create the ultimate cooler, I'll pay the postage on it. Any P4/Celeron should do. I'm experimenting with heatsink/waterblock mounting…

I'm experimenting with heatsink/waterblock mounting and I want to see how much pressure can be exerted on the cpu & socket before something snaps. The pressure will be between a solid rubber block (behind mobo) and the cpu heatspreader, so there should be no warping of the mobo. I'd like to stress 2 or 3 socket/chip combos to breaking point so I can get a good idea of how much pressure is safe.

thanks.
