Re: Asus cuv4x motherboard beep code
Posted on 2023-09-08, 15:19
I cant find what a constant repeating long beep means. I can find the beep codes for other beeps but not this one. Its a socket 370 asus cuv4x motherboard. According to the manual it means that the RAM is not detected. You can find the reference in [Hardware Setup] =>[Starting up the first time] …

My motherboard does have the Turbo LED header, but that header is basically a standard 5V header IIRC (0r 3V3?) and I can connect the LED output from the motherboard to the display and that will result in: 1. Button Pressed 2. Motherboard engages Turbo/DeTurbo 3. Turbo LED Turns On/Off But as you …
Re: Any chance this MX440 has a 128 bit bus width?

ugh... starting to wish I didn't hurry so much... you're probably right. Thanks for that link, it's new to me. Interesting how it kinda puts into question the "rules" of chips amounts and positioning as a "guide"... If you are still aiming for a gf4 mmx with 128 bits you better look for a 460 model …

I think that this link sufficiently supports the idea that it is a 64 bit card: https://www.classicvga.com/product-page/geforce4-mx440

The best would be Ti4800 - it's AGP8X based Ti4600, but not Ti4800SE which AGP8X based Ti4200. There are also Quadro cards based on Ti chipsets, but prices vary. Ah, the SE is the 8x Ti4200. It had me confused every time someone mentioned a Ti4800 being an 8x Ti4600, since I only remembered the …
Re: Manual for 370CPU Card slotket adapter
Posted on 2023-07-27, 09:36
It is possible that later productions (like week 47) were already fixed in the factory. If the jumper settings are set correctly for the voltage of the cpu there should be no harm; it will run or it will not run.
Re: Manual for 370CPU Card slotket adapter

Maybe your slotket is modified to support Coppermines by a previous owner. There is no harm in trying. As far as I have seen it is so that the majority of slotkets that were manufactured up to say +/-week 45 of 1999 were not supporting Coppermines. But some that do support Coppermines out of the box …

Hello Vogons, I got this very same Slotket lately, but I didn't dare using it as of yet. I don't know how to handle these Vid Jumper block on the right side of the card. And I also don't see, whether it is also to be used for Coppermine CPUs or solely for Mendocino Celerons. What would you suggest, …
Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?
Posted on 2023-07-13, 10:49
Thank you! I hadn't identified mine as a Soltek slocket - so hopefully I'm halfway there. I can also look up the 2-3 jumpers whose functions are not clear from the markings on the card. I'll put this project on ice for a bit and if I can't find another Soltek slocket I'll try the bodge described …

Today I entered a world of pain. That is to say, trying to get a couple of slocketed Coppermine CPUs working in my rev 1.05 P2B-DS. I got so very close to getting them working. Everything works great until I jumper them for Dual CPU then it ceases to POST. After doing some digging, I think I've …

As it happens I have a complete version of this Hercules card here with pcb marking rev C00. The missing parts on your card are: C129 = same as C133 C843 = same as C841 C842 = same as C841 C328 = same as C214 C356 = same as C357 C123 = same as C108

There are thermistor cables on the market with tips & attachement cables that are fine enough to slip under the cpu. Some Thermaltake models used to come with such. https://www.overclockers.com/thermaltake-volcano-9/

Great build! What kind of slotket is that and also curious what cpu heatsink you're using? It looks to be pretty lightweight in combination with the Noctua fan. Thanks all for the kind words. 🙂 No idea about the slocket - made in China and looks pretty generic. There existss provenance for this …

I'm adding some pics but the situation is this: The CPU is RIGHT underneath the PSU and there is pretty much no intake air path for the case. (The intake air fan spot is blocked by the face plate and USB\headphone assembly) -- Thoughts? An option is installing something like this in one of the …
Re: MS-6163 Pro (v2) + coppermine support using slotket
Posted on 2023-04-09, 16:38
Continuing with my tests, I have also checked slotket capacitors and all seems to be fine. I think I am going to look for a Celeron (Mendocino) to test it using the slotket, just to confirm if the slotket is defective or the MS6163Pro v2 is the culprit. A couple of years ago I was in the posession …

Is it possible that the serial socket/cable that you have installed did not originally come with the motherboard ? There exist two versions of serial sockets that are incompatible.
