Can anyone explain to me how these interposers are assembled? How is the top socket soldered to the bottom socket with the PCB in between? I've spent a lot of time examining various modules in my collection and could never figure it out. I have one that has broken pins that I've been wanting to …

After beginning production on one without issues, I ordered another one and they wanna argue about edge plating on the new one. Ugh… just make the thing…. Sheesh

debating reworking the pcb for 4 layers. Ground plane, vcc3 plane, vcc2 plane, 5v plane. but there are merits for not doing so also: The more ground plane I keep between the pins the better, the less vcc3 and 5v that's between the pins the better. having whole planes between the pins of the whole …

I've never set up a pcb to be manufactured fully assembled. can we do that here? Do you know how? or is it already ready to go? are there horizontal L pin headers that we can use in place of the male and female AT connectors (direct solder option)? I can't seem to find one. Edit: Made a order for …

Looks good. :) You can adjust the thermal spoke width in the fill settings to give yourself some more current carrying capacity. Thanks! I just updated the file again. (small tweaks). Yeah I made them larger actually, I noticed the power planes were solid, I think it's okay that they are spoked. I …

From looking documented jumpers on my motherboard it just feels like base voltage is 2.0V with all jumpers open and closing jumpers just add 0.1V, 0.2V, 0.4V and 0.8V to that so closing all of them would make it 3.5V total. On an Intel spec compliant voltage regulator I believe 2.0V is the minimum …

since the AT connector needs to be swapped anyway on many boards, what about a adapter that solders directly to the board? are there pin headers of the proper size for a right angle mount?

I think the asus p5a 1.05 and 1.06 can do 1.3-3.5? So on Asus P5A only the newer revision can do voltages lower than 2.0?
