I bought a similar one (GA-6R7+ as I recall) back in the day when I wanted to upgrade the CPU on my Slot 1 motherboard, but could also not get my Socket 370 CPU to work with the adaptor.
However, it's possible that my motherboard (or BIOS) was simply not compatible with the CPU. I still have my adaptor, but never bothered to test it with another Slot 1 motherboard.

An alternative is to test the adaptor in another Slot 1 motherboard (if you have another one), as opposed to try and test another adaptor on this motherboard?
That way, you will know whether it's the motherboard or the adaptor that is causing the problem.

Have you tried the 1GHz Coppermine (or some other socket-370 coppermine) on the adapter clocked at 66-100FSB, or only at 133? The Celeron 1.4GHz was 100FSB but it's adding the additional issue of being a Tualatin, so testing a 66-100FSB coppermine would simplify the situation a bit more. Remember that for various reasons 133 doesn't always work on 440BX boards (though the success rate on later boards like yours is good).

If the slocket adapter has "auto" settings for the Vcore/FSB (ie a mode that simply passes through whatever VID/FSB is coming from the 370 chip) I'd try that and let the motherboard handle changing those values if needed.

Thanks for the replies guys

I tested a P3 1GHz at 100FSB and the intended Celeron 1.4 at 100FSB, this time I tried using auto on the vCore and still absolutely nothing 🙁

I guess this adapter just isn't compatible with my board for some reason. Just trying to find this one was no easy feat though. Does anyone have an unused slocket they'd be willing to spare, or know where I could get one? It sounds like the ASUS S370-DL would be my best bet, as ASUS recommended it for the board.

In the meantime, I'm stuck using my slot 1 P3 450, which is much more capable than I'd expected (came with the board, and wasn't expecting to use it at all)

I have the same board (two actually) as you have, and since I can't find an S370-DL or any ASUS branded slotket, I put MSI MS-6905 on my shopping list. They are still on sale if you look around on ebay (make sure you get the version 2.x ones). They have been reported to work with ASUS boards. See: http://www.mrufer.ch/pc/tualatin_e.html

I plan to try either a 1.1GHz Coppermine or a Tualatin-S 1400 sometime, but In the meantime I have P3 800EB which is alright so I'm not in hurry.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out for one. I couldn't find any on eBay, only one I could find listed currently was on Amazon US (I'm in the UK) which was $90 just for shipping, so not an option sadly!

Well that's strange, I remember recently it was still available in volume:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Stuck-MS-6905-Maste … P-/322149798293
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-MS-6905-MS6905-MS … U-/322151253370

I'll contact the seller and ask about it, hopefully it's just a matter of relisting the item.

This might be from the same seller, but on amazon DE:
https://www.amazon.de/MSI-MS-6905-Master-V2-X … r/dp/B008EHTP0C

UPDATE:
The seller has replied (same name as on the amazon DE listing) and said "yes on stock". I'm going to buy the lot of 3 myself once it's re-listed. 😀

Good morning (here, in Spain). I just bought an adapter but it has a jumper (in the picture, in the left side) and I don´t what to do. Can somebody help? Thank you very much

I might be completely wrong and you shouldn't trust me on this, but as far as I see it one of the jumper's trace ends in pin B21 which is described with "100/66# MHz". So I think that jumper defines what FSB the CPU wants

Spot on. See the sticker on the first photo here:

Thank you very much!!. Now it's clear.
