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 …

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.

You are lucky - they don't always fit, either the LCD square is in the wrong spot, is the wrong size, or the mounting screw is in the wrong position. My experience is limited. But the dimensions of the display in the second photo look like a 20x25 mm type could be made to fit ? Can you link me to a …

Hello smtkr, I looked at the chip and it is a Celeron SL6C6 which should be 1400/256/100/1.5V So you are correct...2.0V would be a bad idea...Sounds like my chip is pretty similar to yours. Can you tell me what your jumper and dip switch settings are? Also, if you have the Voltage table...Could you …

Unfortunately, the case LED jumpers only go to 99Mhz but hoping I can find some kind of workaround to replace it with a 3-digit LED - suggestions welcome if any! My suspicion is that triple digit displays of the [1 through 199] type also fit in cases that originally came with a double digit display …

Cool, yeah, that's the switch I had in mind, should be good for 4 jumpers? Any thoughts about the mystery turbo button? Is it just broken? Try cleaning it via dipping in alcohol and repeatedly clicking. In good condition they should produce on-on for both sides. Whether the switch you have in mind …

A typical hole saw has too large of teeth and will probably wreck the shield unless you use a press. I would recommend a punch or cutting it with snips after you get a small starter hole. Yeah the best type on metal are the adjustable ones with a two "teeth" or cutters or whatever you want to cal …

Yeah, but there were two versions of the PL-IP3 and according to your research there were three revisions of the 'T' version and I find it difficult to wrap my head around what they exactly did. Fact is that they released an SMP "server" edition somewhere in 2002 which should support all "S" cpu's …

Interestingly the old documentation for early PL-IP3/T's mention a jumper for SMP which I assume is just because Powerleap copy and pasted the PL-IP3 manual and changed the headers to say PL-IP3/T. But considering this does anybody know if SMP worked on the 1.0 revision, since that did have a …
