Hey, someone of you here know how can I install the Windows XP on SSD that I have just bought if this motherboard don't support AHCI mode? I have only RAID or NON RAID option in the bios. How can I do now? It's impossibile to have AHCI on this NF3 chipset motherboard?

Basicly the same things I tested here. WinXP 3DMark 99MAX/2000/01SE/03/06 (all default presets) + Quake III (settings in first post) + DOOM3 (Ultra 1024x768) + Crysis (again, settings in first post). If you could test multiple presets for Crysis (example : Low @ FHD + Med @ 1024x768) - it would be …

I have an Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA motherboard with installed an AMD Phenom II 955 @4,0ghz! Do you need results even if it's passed about 8 years? 😉

I am sorry, but more than I read the link you copied to me and more I think you are wrong. The processor tell the motherboard which voltage do it need. So it's different if I have on my hand a 1.7v. (like the example on one page) or a 1.65v (like the example in the other page). Modification will be …

Just solder small wire (a strand from IDE 80pin cable) to ground. There are plenty of grounds around, just measure with multimeter to verify. These tasks are sort of obvious, if you are not able to perform basic modifications like masking/soldering etc then perhaps you should not do this. Or find …

make sure your P2B only supports VRM8.1 specification (1.8-2.8v https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/computing/intel_cpu_datasheets/VRM%208.1%20DC-DC%20Converter%20Guidelines.PDF) by reading model number of U1. Something like HIP6019, US3007, etc. VRM 8.2 spec already supported all the way down to 1. …

Q: Is it somehow possible to run slot1 cpus in boards which can only provide down to 1.8V? A: Yes it's possible, but it requires some work. The basic idea behind the modification is the same as if you would be using a slotket adapter and use the voltage selection jumpers to make the board believe …

Just mask the needed pins with tape, no need to cut traces. Ok I will mask them with tape. But you have understood that a pin VID 3 has to be grounded and how can I do it? Vid3 is pin b119 on the slot 1 and in that side of the slot I have no other ground. I will need a wire that go from the ground …

If you look carefully this magnified images taken just from my Coppermine 1.65v. you can see that I will have more work to do. Cause 1,65v. is : Voltage VID4 VID3 VID2 VID1 VID0 1.65V 0 1 0 0 0 1.80V 0 0 1 0 1 <--- You want these values So If I am not mistaken I have to change the VID3 state, the …

Please read again this thread :) With Coppermine Slot1 you can mask VID pins so that the board delivers 1.8v which is perfectly normal for Coppermines. With 370+slot1 adapter you can usually just use voltage selection jumpers and set it to 1.8v and done, it works. Also, you can replace HIP6004ACB …
