it is a must to get retention bracket but not really worth to spend retention bracket + ultra 120 on a s478 rig IMO.

Utral 120 is good if possible since 2.8E indeed is hot ... but the retention kit would cost RM25 ....
that's under condition u can get one .... btw where is ur source for Utra 120 ??? |

That's becasue old socket processor generally does not produce so much of heat to the extend need Utra 120 to cool it off...
of course there is exception such as Prescott series ... always above 40c up to 70c ... anyhow there is no right and wrong .. cool it the way u want it .. as long as compatible loh .... |
