Welcome to XtremeSystems Movieman :welcome:
I hope saaya can find more boards so you can have another for your friend. :D
Thanks much! I appreciate the welcome. After looking at some of the acomplishments of the members here, I feel like a noob.. :slobber:Quote:

Did the boards ship out today ? :confused:
Report a mobo death....
related to i don't konw....
Previous rig was :
Ce M 370 J
asus Ct-479 adaptor
Tagan 330W Power Supply (+24 pins to 20 pins adaptor connector)
2x512 DDR Corsair XL 2-3-3-6
Board was running well...then died....
Cpu was a little more 2.6 Ghz (FSB around 173-175 and Vcore to 1.45 V)
So it is.....
Board was unmodded
Will advice you to wait for Sonoma based architecture mobo's....
;)
24 to 20 pin == BAD
the 20 to 24 pin adapter won't do any good or harm. if it was wired wrong, the psu would short out instantly and turn itself off. if it was wired correctly, its not going to cause a problem.
newbie user: test each component seperately, ram in another box, cpu in a lappy, vid card in another box, use a known good pwoer supply, p4 in the mobo, reset bios, the works.
20 to 24 is ok but 24 to 20 == bad
Well, let us know why please...Quote:

and to you guys about the 24 and 20 pin adapters, they make no difference either way. its a pin to pin connection, unless they are connected to something they shouldnt be or not connected fully, they will make no difference for the better or worse. I'll personallybe using one, but that's because my new power supply's mobo connector is really short and i need it extended
24 to 20 pin != bad. Period....the extra four pins are just for extra current draw if required. On top of that, a 24 pin can plug directly into a 20 pin and have 4 pins just dangling out no problem as well.
Good news cirthix! That means that those of us getting boards directly from saaya should have ours shipped fairly soon as well! :woot:
Sounds like wishful thinking to me :slobber: :slobber: I'm in the same boat as you Vapor :DQuote:

however when you use a 24 to 20 pin converter it gives the last 4 pins extra current giving the mobo more then required. ive seen so many mobos come back with no post since they released those converters thats why they now came up with the ability to slide the extra 4pins off if you mobo does not require them.
Given that the additional 4 wires come from the same spot in the psu, I have a hard time imagining them having this effect... It should really make no difference if the 4 extra pins are disconnected or joined with the wires to the existing, corresponding pins; all they are is additional parallel paths between the same places.
Exactly...it's ONLY to allow more current to be able to be moved as wires can overheat and eventually get to the point where they have a resistance and CAN'T supply the current. Adding more paths for power to get from point A to point B isn't going to hurt point B, regardless of how little power it uses.
I've run a 24-20 pin converter for as long as they've been around on my Fortron server PSU to my old P4 board and there's been no damage what-so-ever.
I C,
Maybe just a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty converter that came with the psu then.
well learn something everday
Exactly, just because there are exta wires doesn't mean there will be extra current BEING FORCED into the mobo. The board will draw as much current AS IT NEEDS, its the same as the myth that you buy a bigger ATX PSU and it'll cost more to run. Rubbish! It'll draw exactly as much power from the wall as the last one did, however, it will have the ability to supply more in the future!!!!
If anyone has become disenchanted with their P4GD1's and wants to rid themselves of it, let me know. I am willing to make a generous donation to your PayPal account in exchange.
mission control, the eagle, err.. boards, yes boards, have landed.
now all we need is the chips :D
I have chips... :p:

the correct boot for 780 owners is 167-200 FSB interval.Otherwise u'll be in big trouble.
SOooooo, what's the status of the boards that WERN'T going to cirthix?
No updates from Saaya makes Blue a very dull boy. :(
ahhhh, i cant wait untill tomorrow, hopefully they will be in. there's some other goodies i'm dying for too, but the mobo.... dammn the tracking for not working, the suspense is killing me. sleep will pass the time, so i'm off to go do that. goodnight all
2.9v wich results in 2.92v :)Quote:

i was busy moving his stuff out and cleaning up the room and apartment to prepare for a new roomate, me and the other roomate now have to find a new guy asap. plus as soon as i had recovered from the stomach flu/food poisoning thing a buddy who was travelling through spain for a mopnth came ack and imported a nice flu he sneezed and coughed at me :slap: :D
about the boards, i work for the deutsche post/dhl, so i sent some boards but the station where they receive the boxes closed. so i left them at work and asked a co-worker to send them out and gave him the money.
but there was a problem, you can either send something as "paket", wich is up to 5kg and insured, or you ca send it as a "päckchen" (small box) wich is only up to 2kg. you can chose an option to have each sent via airmail, and in my booklet it said if you send something via airmail its automatically insured up to 500€. BUT what i didnt know was that for some reason those small boxes arent insured even when they get sent via airmail...
a friend of me worked at the airport and always told me about how loads of stuff gets lost there, so when my co-worker called me and told me it wouldnt be insured i told him not to send those boards then.
sending as box costs a bit extra, for some regions like astralia and hong kong a lot extra!
i now sent all boards insured because i dont wanna risk anything... sorry if some of you might be annoyed that bshipping costs more, but i didnt want to risk anything... :/

boards that have not been sent out yet:
there are 5 more boards i managed to get from com-texx wich went to bjonz,fewture,ojdr2001,neova,hipro5
vapor and bjonz, sending one box costs around 50€, i will send your boards and the 780ES for vapor together to vapor, ok?
i will get the board for you, bjonz, in 4 days, and will then send it all to vapor and he will send the board to you.
ben babyelf and neova, you guys are all from the same region hong kong/australia, so i will send your boards together, ok?
i can send 3 boards in one box, wich costs around 60€ via airmail, sending each board in a seperate box would also cost 60€ each...
im getting neovas board in 4 days, then i will send all your boards and the 780ES for ben together in one box. please let me know whom i should send all the stuff.
hipro5 im still waiting for the 3rd p4gd1 for you, will send the 3 boards plus the ct479 to you as soon as i get the extra 5 boards.
fewture will send the board plus the 780ES to you as soon as i get the extra 5 boards.
sorry for the delay you guys, it all started with 10 boards, but a group order of 37 boards plus 19 780ES cpus was a much more complex thing :D
so please esxcuse the delays... :bows:
