So what CPU's would indeed work with the retention and also be compatible with this board ? Better yet if someone could take a few moments and point to specific examples on ebay uk for me ? The best way to go imo is to wait until you have the board. Vogons member 'Evasive' posted a link that shows …

Hi all, Have this board on the way: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254594779337. It has the Slot 1 retention built in to the motherboard, which is nice.. however the CPU I am looking at which is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401872971806 has a large aluminium heatsink that to me looks like it …

Coppermines with cDO and Celerons with D0 stepping are a breed apart, they have an extremely good reputation for overclocking.

So, you mean if things go wrong the damage is so big that it becomes obvious from the outside? I thought that maybe the prong breaks or gets too loose and the shell won't fit that tightly afterwards, wasn't expecting holes to be ripped apart in the shell. The whole deal just became scarier for me …

The main problem with this type of cartridge (Pentium II is practically identical to Athlon) is that one of the plastic holding plugs is much tighter than the other three and that separating them is most likely going to cause damage. There is an overview of a procedure here: https://www.vogons.org/ …

Yes, I noticed that there are two cache chips on the layout in the manual and that the update to 1Mb is 'optional'. But this -is- Aladdin V according to this review, right ? http://www.super7.net/Super7/Freetech/p5f103rev.html I guess it will not be easy to find a 1Mb version.

Hi members :) This is sort of a myth to me. If you read the motherboard spec sheet most of them says "1Mb optional" Now looking at the Aladdin V 1541/1542 datasheet and doing some more reading it is not possible for the ALi chipset to have 1Mb of cache. But a motherboard by the name of freetech …

The Lin-lin adapter and the Slot-T will allow the system to boot by switching the pinout back to something the mainboard understands. However, the mainboard must be capable of delivering the correct voltage (max 1,475V). If it is unable to do so, it might not boot, or feed the CPU Coppermine …

Intel changed the pinout of the Tualatin cpu's in such a way that they are not backwards compatible with Coppermine motherboard. You need a special slotket like Upgradeware Slot-T upgradewareslott.jpg orPowerleap: http://www.duhvoodooman.com/powrleap/PLintro.htm Alternatively you can do the …

What I meant is that a fair number of the oldest turbo displays that are documented at http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/led_speed_display/led_speed_display.htm have a 3-pin connection that is controlled by the turbo switch and I used the term 'original' for it. The display in this thread seems to …

The original setup of this 'system' has 2x3 wires coming from the turbo button. 1x3 wires go to motherboard and 1x3 wires go to display and the button thus serves both motherboard and display simultaneously. Filename conn.jpg File size 43.15 KiB Views 340 views
