Hello all,
I got this motherboard Zida 5VDX. It had a cpu amd k5pr100 on it and i think that the board was from some pre built setup, like whole pc from a store. Like some hp or dell complete setups but some noname. The manual says it supports cyrix, amd, pentium upto mmx but those uses different voltages and its setup for 3.5v for amd.
What i was thinking like the manual say to just set jumper7 to open position and its 2.8v. The J7 cluster has 4 presoldered pads to closed position and a spot to another volt regulator that is empty ofcourse. That got me thinking if its a cheaper made mobo just for that build with amd setup and not ment to be changed.
If anyone has any experience with similar mobos or the zida. I have 200mmx for it, max it supports but i dont want to run it with higher voltage. I tested it with 166mmx and 3.5v and it did post but got quite hot 😀 The manual is here https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/Z/Z … X-VER-1-30.html
Heres pics of it. The J7 pic is bad but theres the 4 wires soldered on the mobo and the other pic has that heatsink for the voltage regulator and beneath it is an open place for another. I dont know if that regulator would do both voltages and the empty spot is for another revision or it needs the both regulators to do both voltages. Also got s3 trio virge and voodoo2 cards for it. Still thinking about what to use for sound, have 5.1 live card but i think its overkill.
Thanks in Advance - Kohellus
