Rare Pentium III 900 FCPGA, Fan and Slot 1 Adapter for $199.99

[brab]

sygyzy:
The BIOS info goes: P3-901 Mhz
My ram is PNY PC100, CL3 I think.
I set the CPU FSB to 100Mhz too (9x100) at 1.7V.

Little problem here

Hi I got my two cpu's in today but I can't get both to work...I'm running a supermicro P6DBU board and so far only one will work...I've even tried different jumper setting on the slocket adapter. No dice.

Any suggestions?

 

[sygyzy]

Brab, no intentions on overclocking. And why the hell can't I see the reply, cancel, etc buttons on this BBS?

 

[brab]

sygyzy:
there is no point to overclock
I mean why would I put myself into risk of frying a CPU for mere 100Mhz more...900 is fast enough for me to tell you the truth...

you agree?

Can someone confirm that this chip works stably on a Abit Bx6r2? My multiplier only goes up to 8x.

 

[JungleJim]

Is this deal still available? I can't find it on their site. Thanks.

Orbius read my post.

Can someone fill me in on what's the highest speed Slot 1 cpu (100 fsb) and what't the highest speed FCPGA cpu with 100 fsb also? Thanks.

Check the Intel S-Spec info link on the first post of this thread. You will see the information you want on the numbers (keys) on the right side of the spec sheet.

Installed mine tonight on a BH6 v1.0 with latest "ss" bios. I set up the processor speed under the "user defined" bios mode (100x9). No problems at all. The "ss" version will actually let you multiply up to 12. This replaced a 300A @ 450. Doubled my processor speed - cool!

 

[iluvdeal]

Long live the BH6!

 

[garyl99]

Nobody tried OC so far? Why not? If it runs stable at 112MHz, you will actually get a PIII-1G !!!

 

[Slacker]

I got one (chip only, no fan/slotket) a few weeks ago, it works fine at 112 fsb for 1008mhz.

 

[burnedout]

Long live the BH6!

I agree. I have two and built a PC for a friend with one. We installed a 700 MHz Celeron in his last night after updating the bios to SS. Both my BH6 boards have SS bios also. One in the main box and one for a CPU/memory tester.

Have heard Abit may release yet another bios update for the BH6. Can't confirm it yet.

Still haven't ordered one of these yet. Been too busy. May be too late.

AMD FOREVER!!!

Did someone mention overclocking? I've had 2 of these 900's for a while, and on my CUSL2 I've been running 1 of them at 1.13GHz (126 FSB)

Here's a couple screenshots from my Benchmarq Gaming Rig:

ASUS Probe CPU Information

ASUS Probe Idle Temperature

SiSoft Sandra CPU Information

SiSoft Sandra CPU Benchmark <---- BEATS Pentium4 - 1.5GHz !!!

 

[benchmarq]

BTW, I would love to hear if anyone gets one to run at 1.2GHz, since that would involve getting the fsb to 133, and then the PCI bus won't be so far out of spec. I've pushed mine to 1170, but it won't load Windows 2000. At 1152, 3D Mark 2000 locked up. So I'm &quot;stuck&quot; running it at 1134

 

[sygyzy]

Benchmarq I have a CUSL2-C with Crucial PC133 CAS2 256MB and a Golden Orb. Do you think I will have any problems hitting the 1 GIG mark with this chip? Can you tell me your settings in the bios. I am confused witht he ASUS BIOS. There is the mulitplier which is obviously 9. Voltage = ? FSB:SDRAMCI Freq. Ratio - What the heck is this? FSB/SDRAM/PCI Freq (Mhz) - again confused. Well I have a slight idea. So for yours would you set 100:100:33 and then 126/126/xxx?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

[Joony]

anyone got it on a ASUS P2B-F BX Chipset mobo?

 

[RaginCajun]

Anyone try this CPU in an Asus P3V4X?

Thanks

 

[StratPlus]

I couldn't resist. I originally planned to run this baby at the straight 900MHz. I went ahead and bumped up the fsb to 112MHz. Running at 1008MHz with no problems.

 

[erikatcuse]

Help I bought two of these and they won't work with my stupid supermicro board...

I need to sell them...

Same price 200 plus shipping so 205 and you don't have to pay tax!!!

 

[sygyzy]

Strat, what type of ram, motherboard, etc?

 

[StratPlus]

sygyzy - BH6 v1.0a ss bios. I have one 128m stick of mushkin infineon PC133 and 2 64m sticks of generic PC100. I was running CL 2-2-2 until I jumped up to 112MHz fsb. The generic ram couldn't handle it so I had to change to CL 3-3-3. I had no temperature increase whatsoever with the overclock.

 

[Jester66]

I was wondering about the same thing will will an ASUS P3Bf and an ASUS P3v4 handle the 900.
thanks
