Done myself in
Asus P4P 800 SE, P4 Pescott 3.0E 2Gigs Ram(1Gig Kingston, 1Gig Crucial) 1 Maxtor 120Gig 1 Seagate 120Gig, Nvida 6600 AGP 256, Antec Case
I assembled this system in December 05, and it worked pretty well. Not a novice at building, but not a pro either. Apparently after this fiasco I'm a Klutz. Finally after screwing around with my system, it looks like I finally destroyed the Mobo. I used a Thermatake TR12 for heatsink, and had pretty decent temps. Well I had to try one more time, and swaped in a Zalman 7000B cu. While removing the old HS they were tough with those clips, I brought in a long screw driver just to help dislodge the clip a little. Well it slipped, and raked the Mobo. Oh Sh%# I said - Please tell me that didn't happen- but it did a second, and a third time, but I finally got the TR12 out. Put every thing back nice bead of AS-5. The Zalman fit perfect, hooked up the wires, powered the system, and no post or BIOS. Everything is working fans spinning HD's spinning lights, but I did some damage I think to the Mobo. Anyway I fell like an idiot, but I would appreciate some feed back, if anyone has had similar experiences. Thanks for your help. mnoldsea |

I'm about to embark on my first build soon. Hopefully I won't have any stories to add. Sounds too expensive.

Thanks I'm looking for a new mobo. I may not be able to find another P4800SE quickly. Any sugestions for a mobo that can handle 800 fsb, and 4 banks of ram? Not into overclocking.
Thanks again. |

Hold everything, I just went in and took off the Zalman to doublecheck the seating and lo and behold the #$%#$@ processor came with it. So I'll redo everything, and keep you posted
Still not out of the woods yet. |

Thanks Cricket, LocoCyote, and Bob.
Here's what happened. I raked the screwdriver a couple of times, and lo thought my mobo was dead since I got no post. Went back to check the HS, and what happens the processor comes out with it. This is not good Isez to meself. Could it be my problem is the Preshott was not seated correctly. After a carefull search for any damage or bent pins, I cleaned the sucker off, and reapplied AS5, and reinstalled the package. This time I made sure it was in good, and volia it's alive, and I'm back. Thanks everybody for the help. Temps are a couple of degress lower, so I really need to check myself out. |
