Gloden Orb on P-III Retail?
I got Golden Orb today, and I can't figure out how to put it on my P-III.
Do I have to break open the case?
Please help me...

Hi, AFAIK the Gorb is for FCPGA and other socketed cpus, I am sure there is a way to get it to work with a slot one/ slot a proc. but I am not sure.

I ordered one for Slot 1. So, I think it will fit, but don't know how...
Please enlighten me...

Well, I would assume you would have to open the case up, as you would for many other coolers out there. To open up the case, use a ballpoint pen on the open end of the pins that hold the case together. Push the pen into the open end of the pin, and pull apart gently. Any pointed object (no, not that one, wise guys) will suffice if you don't have a pen.

I believe it was one of our own members who posted a really elegant way to open the PII/PIII Slot-1 cases.
Use a PC case screw.
Lay down the screw, align with pin, apply firm even pressure. Out pops the pin, no extra depth or extrusion. I've done this with 6 processors so far, no problems.

Can anyone knows the step-by-step illustration to break open the case? Possibly with pictures?
Although it is an old P-III 450, I don't want to waste it yet...
Thank you for all the replies, BTW.

Here you go, Monocrom. I knew I'd seen that article on one of the usual sights:

Hope this helps you.

The Tech Zone article directs you to remove the back plate because it traps heat. Why does Intel include it in the first place? PCB protection? Noise or EMF isolation? Doesn't the additional size create space problems (w/ or w/o the back fan). Has anyone gotten better than 1-2 degrees cooling from the back fan? Hardly seems worth adding the back fan.<TABLE BGCOLOR=Red><TR><TD><Font-weight="+1"><font COLOR=Black>The world just changed, Sep. 11, 2001</font></Font-weight></TR></TD></TABLE>Comment
