Super Slocket III CPU Fan: socket or slot type?

I have a new super slocket iii. I can't find which type of heatsink and fan
to use, a socket or slot type? My current cpu is a pii in a box. Does
anyone know which to use?

You need the socket type. Many of the aftermarket types are
very large-- with the slocket, you need to check your clearance
as parts mounted on the motherboard and RAM slots are often
a problem. Depending upon your CPU choice and overclocking
plans, the stock retail kit fan if often adequate. I even slow the
retail Tualatin HSFs with five diodes (to drop the voltage) to make
them slower and quieter-- and that's with a 33% overclock. I
don't know what your motherboard is, and it sounds like you
already have your slocket. In case you do not, you may wish to
consider the Tualatin Celeron upgrade with an Upgradeware
Slot-T adapter.

SuperSlotlet-III :
that slotket is one of the best for Tuallie mod (only needs additional
g35-g37 shorting on the back of the slotket; I use it ....

socket cooler is ok, there are also slotket coolers, but dificult to
find; for myself I modded a p2secc2 cooler for horizontal mount as can
be seen on my site ....was some work to do that ...

You still need to pull or insulate pins, right? I forgot about
modding slockets-- I have become spoiled by the Slot-T,
having bought three!

I wouldn't - it doesn't have a voltage clamp chip (TVC16222) to hold the
CMOS signals down to the correct voltage for S370 processors. I've seen
two processors die on slokets without voltage clamps, so I don't trust them.

Use a Slot-T. They work great with any Intel Coppermine or Tualatin S370
processor.

sure & also making a ak4 - an11 bridge too ...

for that price, it was wise to buy all 3 ... :-)
(I have also a spare SS-III if something goes south ... :-)

I have see (heard) about many died Tuallies, but not because of that:
broken pins, wrong bridge, too high voltage, shothing pins, blown
voltage regulators & finally: wrong removal of the IHS ... or simply
fallen off pins (happened once even to me) .

good to know that works also no problem with Cu-Mines ...

sure, Slot-T is a safe bet if is available in own country, in mine is
not & expences are higher getting it than modding other one ...

If someone does not have a practice on modding & does not have a
moddable slotket, I also recommend these last times mostly to get
Slot-T ....

Thanks for all the responses! I'll look for a good socket hs/fan &
double-check the clearance.

When Tuallies fail for those reasons, I wouldn't call it died - that's
killed :-)

These were Coppermines, ran for a year or so on slokets without voltage
clamps, not overclocked or overvolted - except for the CMOS signals -
then they just died for no apparent reason. Maybe it wasn't because of
the slokets, but it's very unusual for working processors to fail unless
a voltage spike or power supply/regulator failure takes them out. These
systems showed no other problems after the processors were replaced.

Intel processors seem to tolerate out-of-spec operation quite well, but
IHMO they last longer if you stay within the specs wherever possible -
except for clock speed, of course :-) That why I reduce Vtt whenever I
put a Tualatin on a BX board, especially if it's an expensive P3-S.

sure, that expensive one is quite powerfull & especially if is a Dual
CPU machine, you do not change it so often ...
