Cooling System Socket Confusion?

kawaiifee · 10-29-2005, 12:35 PM

I have a Thermaltake Volcano 7. I understand that it is for the Intel socket 370 interface. However, I have a socket 775 motherboard and cpu. Could I still use this cooling system?

My Motherboard:
PC Chips M957G Socket 775 Motherboard

My CPU:
Intel Celeron 341 2.93Ghz 533FSB Socket 775

No, it isn't designed for the heat output of that chip. It's like trying to skydive with a plastic grocery bag.
