Re: Can a CPU override the multiplier settings?
Posted on 2022-12-27, 07:38
Please check AGP multiplier, if it is set to 1:1 then you will have problems with video cards even at 100 mhz. It can be jumper somewhere on the board or BIOS setting.
Re: PIII - Socket 370 board - ZERO cooler clearance. Ideas? (& cpu compatibility)
Posted on 2022-12-26, 15:34
The board has 440ZX chipset, it supports 100 MHz bus speed and the PPGA socket can easily be modded to accept Coppermines, just needs bridging two pins and isolating one pin. If the board has proper VRM chip then no other mods needed, if only capable of 1.8v then either replace VRM chip with another …

There are white SATA DVD/RW drives. Nice project! I "hotrodded" IBM Netvista case with some mATX MSI H81 board and put i7-4790 in it, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070 ti 8GB, does everything I need 😀

The board has some uncommon VLSI chipset, seems to be stable and reasonably fast at least for 66 MHz Pentium), made some benchmarks in Everest too. I installed The need for Speed - Special Edition, Need For Speed II - Special Edition and Monster Truck Madness (1). Last two can utilise V1, games are …

I have always wanted a functional socket 4 machine and years ago (in 2016) bought IBM socket 4 board along with 60 MHz gold top Pentium P5. Didn't come with a riser (huge bummer) and back then did not know the tricks IBM had done with PSU. There were regular AT ones and with regular AT PSU board …

You are willing to give it away now? I am interested. What kind of stuff are you looking for swap?

Yep, that's what I thought. Any chance you could measure which two wires (=which pins on the header) are for power button? Just use multimeter with continuity function and check which wires are shorted when power button is pushed. Sorry if it is obvious to you 😀 And thanks in advance!

It is possible to mod MSI and S370-133 to dual. BTDT as are several other guys in this forum also.

Tualatin does not run hotter than 1 GHz Coppermine.

Tualatin will work with original last BIOS too, no problem.
Re: Tyan S1834 and P3 1.4Ghz Tualatin?
Posted on 2022-12-09, 05:35
99,999% of the boards work without adding microcode so that is the least of things to worry about. Tyan S1834 has a regular Award BIOS, nothing special about it and its VIA chipset works with Tualatin if you mod the slocket or source Powerleap/Upgradeware adapter. Easiest to get it to work with …

Thanks a lot!! May I also ask you to take photo of the complete riser? Looks to be quite rare from FRU, connector should be similar to other risers though. no connector is different from all the one used on socket5/7. i think this computer was a little laboratory for IBM. unique solution, unique …

Would it be possible to check where does the power on switch connects on the system board?

Other power connectors are good (two AT + 3.3v one, also …

Are you sure that you have chosen 133/33 MHz and not 133/41 MHz? Older revisions lack fourth jumper and the result is higly overclocked PCI bus.

I just finish to check: computer post correctly without riser card (as i expect) but riser card is different from the P-60 to P-75 models, can't share. PSU have FRU that differ only by the last number but.. not know... Thank you very much. But still, can you provide me FRU of the P60 riser? Thanks!

Funny to see that most people who say don't do it only say it based on nothing than theory (which isn't wrong in itself but certainly does not apply to specific case). But I guess it is always that way: there are people who talk and there are people who do 😀
