My heatsink, CPU and slocket have all arrived, and I'd like to set it up correctly (as correctly as possible anyway!)
I chose this slocket because a) it has lots of jumpers to set various frequencies and voltages and b) there isn't much choice of slockets on ebay UK. I have a Coppermine PIII 700MHz / 256k / 1.75 volts. How would I set this on the slocket and motherboard?
1) White Sliders
I assume the white sliders in blue box control the voltage, with the different settings seen in table in the second image? I understand (http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/p2b_p … pgrade_faq.html) these chips are quite happy over-volting. I chose a relatively high voltage chip to minimise this potential problem. Edit Can my motherboard control the voltage? it can go down to 1.8v in theory...
2) Jumpers
What are the five jumpers for? What does the Auto / Manual 'option' refer to?
3) Top Right settings
At the top right of the board as seen in image 2 it lists three options
1. Dual CPU M/B
2. Over Clock
3. VCore Selectable
I can see the nearby jumper to set whether overclocking is available (I assume some kind of multiplier lock protection?) But I'm not sure where the slider / jumper is to inform the board as to whether I am running two cpus, and that I would like to manually adjust the voltage!
I've set my multiplier to 7x on the motherboard (even though it shouldn't make a difference as it's multi locked I think?)
I don't want to just mess around with it to find the right setting because i'd like to avoid accidently putting 2.4v through it!
