I have these CPUs, both obviously need ~3V. A tried them on a Soyo 025R2 and a AS496 that have voltage settings and none of the CPUs showed any sign of life at 3V.
I said screw it, they must be bad and jumpered the boards to 5V. They both came to life instantly and worked fine. I fully expected smoke and explosions but it worked flawlessly. Why?
I downloaded the jumper manuals, followed them to the letter and nothing happened. Diag card showed ----. When I went berserk and switched to 5V both boards/CPUs worked as expected. Can anyone explain? These are confirmed working boards but only with 5V CPUs. Never used them with 3V CPUs before.
