Would a CNC machine be all i would need to make my own cpu kits?

[Brwmogazos]

OK since nventiv is gone i was thinking of designing my own personal kits for intel cpus...i have got an a64 kit and an intel kit already so i got the metalic brackets to be used in future sockets...

i can measure with an intel LGA socket board the max height while the cpu is installed and make my own thinking to make the cpu kits...

at the moment it doesnt look difficult at all keeping the same "style" of a cpu kit...only thing i dont know is if i only need a CNC machine to do one...

on LGA boards only thing that looks a bit tight is the top of the boards...the clearance between the socket and any capacitors is small so there might not be enough width on a cpu kit for the seal string to do its work

So is a CNC all i need and a piece of plastic?

yes and no

if you were a trained machinist, you could do it manually! But with a CNC it's much easier - and with a CAD prog to draw up your plans, its easier still. I work for an Engineering co and have been designing stuff for CNC programming prob since you were in nappies!

Yes, I'd be interrested to know too.

I bought the Intel and FX kit just in case, but what I would be really interrested in is the 939 Socket. I think anyone who'll be able to manufacture and sell a lot of those new kits for Mach2 will make lots of money. (Hint to Phil....)

 

[Ferret]

I wonder if you could make one with clear plastic too?

yeah u cud dimi, my dads an engineer at work he has all sorts of CNC machines, wish i knew how to use em, wud be of use

 

[Brwmogazos]

LOL

i am an MSC Mechanical Engineer...Engineering design and manufacture...i know you can do it in a CNC machine just dont know how to use one + if anything else is needed

sounds like a plan then?

whos gonna start making some?

i can design them no probs ...we just need someone to be able to make some for us in the future

I will definitely buy an intel (478) kit off you. It HAS to be better than the pos original nventiv kit.

Brw I work for Eng Co and got a m8 who's retiring soon who is a CNC machinist. Just send some details about size, materials etc and I'll see if he is interested. If not, we use a subcon machine shop set up by a former workshop manager, so I can ask him

nice mate

well since intel kits are available...i was thinking about designing LGA kits...

we would have to get a board first mate...

we could still do some intel kits or a64 by copying the desing of the current ones though...

making the cpu kit one piece that would improve some contact probs everyone had

 

[aXeR]

id deff be up for a new CPU kit

 

[gorby]

yes but could also be dangerous for people who mount their chips with too much compound and too much seal string. Having two parts to the kit is good in this case beacuse u wont pull the whole mobo out

Bring on the new design kits. I'm an electronic/IT engineer but also work with mechanical engineers so also have access to CNC machines and precision mills. May see if any of that lot can whack me out a 1 piece AMD64 kit .
