No cpu cooler mounting holes! How to mount cpu cooler?

[benjamin.p.steel]

Hi there,

My motherboard has no cpu mounting holes. It’s a socket p motherboard from Asus (Asus IMISR-VM). I’ll be using a penryn core 2 duo cpu at standard clock speeds for basic web browsing and word processing via Linux, running 4 GB of Ram. Will I need a cpu cooler at all? If so how can I mount the cpu cooler without standoff’s or holes? I have a small cpu cooler with standard screws attached (evercool). Can i just glue it on there using thermal glue?

This is frustrating as I’m simply trying to breathe some new life into a few old components and was quite happy to find a MB that will take socket p cpus... how ever did they expect anyone to mount a cooler though? Any help?

You need the cpu cooler, otherwise the pc will not boot. The cooler will be like this one. https://www.ebay.com/p/ASUS-RM-Imisr-vm-Motherboard-CPU-Cooler-Heatsink-3-Fan-for-Socket-M-P/2103466551 And you will install the cooler like https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/ntsAAOSwQiFaceTN/$_57.jpg

It uses a hook spring to connect to 4 loops around the cpu socket
