That motherboard doesn't use a standard LGA775 heatsink. My guess is that's what you're using. That board requires this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220475199060 As it fits the holes in the board and allows the screws to thread into the case. > Another problem I ran into with the micro BTX case I'm trying to install > this board in is that the ATX power connector won't reach.

ATX power supplies are compatible with BTX mobo's, so an extender is fine. > What should I use to glue the processor to the copper part of the > heatsink? If you want this to fail and ruin a heatsink and possibly the processor then yes, do that. You should probably find someone knowledgeable to help you with this project. Your post is screaming the kind of inexperience that is going to destroy parts. -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
