I'm a bit fed up of the high prices of DDR mobos and the lack of PC2100 RAM but I need more speed for my PC so instead of going for a KT133a solution, I decided to overclock my old Athlon. After reading instructions of how to remove the casing, I wondered how you would secure the CPU in place without the casing as the casing clips onto that thing which holds the CPU in place. Also wouldn't that make fitting a heatsink a problem as they clip onto the metal back plate.
At the moment I have just sawed a hole in the top of the casing where the overclocking card goes and left the rest of the casing in tact. Anyone got a good way of mounting a un-cased CPU and fitting a heatsink?
