Hey I'm in the middle of building on a Soyo SY-5EMA+ Rev 1.1. Virgin board I've had seen 1999.

I have two user manuals, one is Rev 1.0, and the other is Rev 2.0.
Both of these manuals show a different layout than the board I have. JP1-2 jumpers are hard wired, and there are switches instead of jumpers, for voltage and frequency. I'm posting photo link.

Does anyone know where I can get a user manual that is for this specific layout? Otherwise I'm going in blind and won't be able to accurately set voltages.
Thanks for your time in reading!

Ok, I've got the multiplier and FSB switches and jumpers for the bus speed figured out. The one unknown I can't find in the manuals is the voltage switch, which i'm assuming is SW2 on the board.
It's listed as jumpers in the manual, and they have more settings than I have switches, so I can't interpret it properly.

THANK YOU!

I've been searching for hours, and the best I could find was Ver 1.3, which had SW2 but was also a different layout. This one is exact. Can't thank you enough.
Now if I can only get this damn coolermaster clip secured 🤣...I swear it wasn't this difficult on my Gigabye build.

Nice !! Good work ! I had trouble back in 2020 finding the Soyo SY-6BA+ III manual, something about those SY + versions....
