Help with Callisto II G (MS-7069) Ver. 1.0 Motherboard

[swanne78]

Hi.

I'm hoping someone can help me, I've been given a Packard Bell imedia 1604 pc. I want to set it up for the kids to play around with. obviously the specs aren't great but I've found a dual core processor cheap. The problem I have is the fan and heatsink clamps down using plastic clamps and all the fans/heatsinks I find online use the pin system.

Is there anyway to change this? Is it easy to do? or can anyone suggest where I can get this sort of fan/heatsink from?

The motherboard inside the pc is a:
Callisto II G ms-7069

Any help would be great

You might have to just get a cooler that fits the 775 socket and then you will most likely have to take the back plate off and screw it tight (but not too tight) with nuts from the back.

Thanks for the advice. I will try this
