Oh wow, nice job getting one for that price! I see a seller on ebay selling them for $80 right now, which is high but not as high as I've seen them go for in the past. I saw they had sold two and assumed that was you guys. :) Ah, I see that listing now, it doesn't come up on eBay UK :) It was …

Wow, those are pretty tough to find. Certainly not cheap at $80 USD but also not totally outrageous, considering the rarity. I don't personally have much use for such a chip, but that's mostly because I prefer the chips with heat spreaders. I'd rather have a cheaper Coppermine-T 133Mhz FSB chip …

Picked up this 1.1ghz 100fsb PIII. Small nick on the side of the cpu but it works fine. Nice chip for a BX system. Very nice. Mine arrived yesterday too. I expect we have bought from the same eBay seller :) For future reference SL5QW Pentium 3s (1100/256/100) work on Intel SE440BX-2 boards and are …

So CPU-Z is reading the hardware stepping. Minor changes will be made to the design or manufacturing of the chip to correct errata or improve process yields. Not uncommon for a particular model to have various different steppings. In your case B1 is the only stepping/version for the X5687 Intel's …

The GPIOs do not toggle in the way i expect. On the first click the hex values under current values change and i/o changes to GPU output - depends on GPIO The toggle itself will show clear for about a second before reverting to set Clicking again (to toggle off) does nothing - any changes to hex …

Got it, will give it a go tonight and report back to you. As for ACPI, the board is blacklisted in txtsetup.sif on both windows XP and server 03. I can force it to use the ACPI HAL, but I get random stability issues (randomly fails to boot into windows for example).

I don't mind trying that, but am unsure of the approach I need to take. I assume I just toggle the state of each GPIO individually and check SMB BUS for SPD in between each? Or do I just toggle all the GPIO states in one go and then check? EDIT: one thing I should note is that windows xp does not …

OK so I now get voltage and temperature data for the system - and these match what AIDA64 and HWINFO report. 3-pin fan headers on this motherboard, no speeds are reported by any app. Had one fan plugged into the SYS FAN B header No SPD data from any app. But HWINFO and SIV report capacities …

You will need to modify the slockets to work dual coppermines - not sure about the exact process though silvercr has done so with MS6905 slockets, see his thread here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=53839 ] EDIT: the mods on that thread go a little further than you need as it details …

np, glad that was it. I wasn't expecting a dead battery to stop the board from powering on when I first got mine either. You've got yourself a bit of a steal at £10 now.

Could be a dead CMOS battery? That would prevent the board from powering on at all. Should be a CR2450 cell.

That version (AA 720940-213) of your board does not officially support coppermine P3s. So you are stuck with older BIOS versions (P13 might also work for you though) Are you using an IDE CD drive? If so is it detected by windows? Check device manager too. Are there any warnings on the IDE ports with …

BIOS version P16 should "see" your CPU. In my board I'm running 1 GHz skt370 coppermine on a slotket... I found that version P16 is the most flexible version regarding CPU support... Yeah, and there are other examples of this board running with 1ghz CPUs, both with SLOT1 and S370/Slockets Keep in …
