Thanks for the info! This is very useful ;) Just to sum up: 1250 MHz CPU Clock on 166 MHz bus without increasing the voltage achieved ;) Next step is to find SL4Z2 and try to run it on 1411 MHz clock... Let us know if it does... re the info, I found this website useful for research: http:// …

Success! I found one coppermine that works stable @ 166 MHz with overvolting!!! :D It's one of the latest revisions: SL5FQ with cD0 stepping! This one is pretty odd... At first I thought it's a Tualatin one - it has an IHS just like the one used on Tualatins, but the core is coppermine... and it is …

@The Serpent Rider, sounds like a good plan, but should I buy only SL4Z2 850/100 CPUs or with other specs too? The easier option is to try all the 1000MHz/133 FSB CPUs I have and to see which one will be stable at 166MHz. The main clock would be 1250MHz though, but it sounds more realistic than …

I am just trying to get a stable 166 FSB on a coppermine/tualatin with AIR colling that will reach around 1400 MHz. I need some advice from EXPERIENCED overclockers (since I am not experienced at all in this topic) which processor to use to achieve that, and not to hear that it is impossible to get …

The best way would be to find Pentium III 1133 (Coppermine) SL5B2, SL4YV and try them out: 8,5 x 166MHz = 1411 MHz :) Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever find one that is one thing :P There is a third version: SL5QK but I never see any of these in the wild. The next best thing may be the 850 …

Incidentally it came in this adorable seemingly brand-new folding CPU box. I have no idea if this is what these boxes were intended for, but it's goddamn perfect. Where can I get some of these?

The 250 Mhz refers to Palette DAC, not to clock speed. According to the documentation (v3800-104.pdf - page8 ) this is a 128 bit card ?

I don't know which one it is, to be honest. The model number is AGP V3800M (DVI) SDRAM. I don't know what the significance of the "(DVI)" designation is, nor the V before the 3800. I think the "M" might mean that it's an M64 card, but I'd have no idea. According to the documentation the 'M' stands …

However, it came with "a P3 CPU" and it turns out this is a 650MHz coppermine, which works. It is reported in the BIOS as a 650E, although according to the Wikipedia list of P3 Coppermine CPUs, this doesn't appear to exist. It's a SL3XK, which appears under the standard coppermine 650MHz in the …

Below 2 leftmost pins it says P.L and below that there are + and - signs. 2 nest pins say T.L and below that - and + signs. PL stands for Power Led and TL stands for Turbo Led - you can use these pins to feed the frontpanel leds instead of connecting them to your motherboard. The next three pins …

The rest looks ok. I don't know what the cause is. First try to reseat the cpu and/or try another cpu. If that does not solve it, try another psu. PS The P2B-D boards are typically supposed to have a termination card in the second slot when only 1 cpu is installed - is there one on your board ? If …

1113Mhz2.jpg Wow, I didn't even know they made a 1.13GHz Slot 1 PIII. The dual-fan cooler looks sick. 8-O Yeah they tried to make Coppermine scale too high, was unstable as hell. They did release a 1.13GHz later but that was Tualatin. There are two 1.13 Ghz socket 370 releases per june 2000, one is …

The fan speed error is normal, you can set that line to 'ignore' with a +/- key. The vcore error is not normal. Maybe the psu does not deliver the right voltage. What are the other voltages displayed in the 'voltages monitor' section ?

Yes, that's fine. Be careful when removing the slot processor, some of those brackets lock in a bit tricky way,
