I noticed a burnt pin on the socket before assembly . Any ideas? Seems to still work..?

Interesting. But my mind misinterpreted what I was reading for a moment, and I thought "Socket 775 CPU in my P4P 800? That would be awesome!" Then I read it again.

Same, wishful thinking I suppose

It's theoretically possible.
What you might be able to find that does exist is a 479>478 adapter.

Actually, thinking about it, I believe only a handful of pins were rerouted. Probably within the skills of someone here to remake it and get built by pcbway.

775>478 would take a fair bit more work because almost every pin would need to be routed, and then there's the mechanical side (hsf).

Wow this pretty neat... and cursed, but still really neat. I'd be curious to see what the compatibility with Northwood chips would be like. Don't know if the 900 series chipsets would still have compatibility built in, but Northwood would probably work on those 865 LGA775 boards though that kinda defeats the point.

I believe the chipset protocol is basically the same. Maybe a bit faster (Eg 133 vs 100) but the same language.

The only issue would be microcode, which comes down to the board maker, or a bios mod.

What's the dip switch for ?

edit: it looks like a 12 layer pcb

Usually voltage or fsb

Why would you want to put an older CPU in a newer board? Normally you would want to do the opposite.

That's interesting for benchmarks mostly.

northwood works fine, previous owner was using one in it with same mobo.

Not sure, anyone have any infos?

Perhaps you had invested in a p4 EE and wanted a newer mobo and this adapter was cheap?

P4 willamette aiming for the stars?

I doubt that many boards can provide required 1.75v for Willamette.

Interesting thing! At the very least you don’t have to consider changing your name to Sphere775 😀.

Found the manual.
Barely readable, but it looks like the jumpers are for FSB setting.

If I'm reading it right.
Default on on

do a continuity measurement and see which pins/pads the dipswitch connects to.

Were you able to boot? I think that board was supposed to do Pentium D and P4.
