ASUSTeK Adapter Pentium M = > Pentium 4

all CPU's hooked on this thing should have it.

ahhh oki I get ya, been an AMD man for some while so was confusing onboard mem controller with what intels northbridge does :confused:

is there any word on release date, as i am tearing my amd rig apart this week so would hope to get dothan system running before may.

ok... I was just reading the posts in the thread at legitreviews about the adptor. They guy doing the testing is running at 165mhz FSB / 2.64GHz... so the FSB is adjustable through BIOS, but vcore and multi are not... so basically its like OCing any normal intel system only without vcore adjustment...

Hmm... super pi to 1m places in 28secs though... shiiiiitttt thats amazing! Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I remember seeing (earlier tonight) a 2.6GHz Winchester A64 will only manage around 33s right? These things are FAST... I sure hope AOpen's new i915 board is out when i get back from spring break! cant wait to see what you can do with a Dothan in that board...

yes that sure is fast :)
you need over 4ghz of prescott to get that score :)

hey what original clock is that chip ? 1.6 ?


Thanks

Results look good though it is disappointing that Vcore cannot be set in BIOS and neither can the multi.

Still a 165 bus and CPU @2600-2700 seems to be close to the limit on stock cooling. I think it is a slight fizz for the product. I was hoping for 2600-2700 BUT with Bus speeds of 200-240.

We will wait and see I guess.

we'll adapt the cooling :D

Really?
-In the pic at Legit reviews forums the HSF is not connected but a cable is connected to the adapter.
-The HSF got one ground, the the cable from the adapter two.
-A fan connector with two gorund pins???
-Look at this pic, now I know it's not a good one. It looks like you connect the adapter to an extender (7 & 8), just like the ones you get together with graphic cards (it's a floppy connector instead though). They connect the HSF wire to the mobo in (10).

Maybe it's possible to use mobo power instead, let's say that it got connection up to the adapter but ends there somewhere. Maybe some measuring and soldering will do the trick. I don't think it's such a good idea to increase Vinput to that adapter, it doesn't look to have any headroom for more juice....

Edit: If you still don't believe me.... it's not a fan plug!

lmao! i meant floppy. floppy/fan bleh dyslecsic

so what would stop you from taking those stock metal hooks off and putting them on an aftermarket heatsink?


*edit*oh, the power connector, LOL

Well the results looked promising at the start, but based on the review theres a hue decrease in performance when gaming, although everything else is fairly higher performance wise, but if this adapter decreases performance in gaming which it will mostly be used for its not worth it.

OMG :eek: :slobber: :slobber: :wierd:
what socket?

price?

I guess the power cable is for the adapter only, the CPU get its power from the mobo, sweet! Anything else would have been stupid. Someone please try the simple 1.6 Vcore wire socket mod. :D

How will that fix its poor performance in games? unless its cause its running async, but i thought that wasnt a problem with the dothans, perhaps its to do with the way how the 865 and 875 boards works best in 1:1..

I didn't say it would. On the other hand yeah, with more Vcore you'd be getting closer to 1:1 200 FSB, dunno if you can get past it tho. Either Vcore, adapter or CPU limited.
What if you can reach higher FSB if the CPU is recognized as 200 MHz like I said earlier?

Nice pics :up:

So let's get this straight...

-165bus
-No VCORE adjustments
-No Multi adjustments
-Proprietary cooling
-Murders gaming performance

Can you say "SUCK?" :p: The only real use for this is if you are concerned about power usage or were looking for a fast processor to put in a SFF case to run desktop apps.

The new Sonoma Platform should be better for us all. It should at least drop 2/5 of those problems and you could eliminate 2 more with modding. Take another look at the AOpen, it was supposed to be due at the end of this month, but should still be due out soon: http://xtremesystems.org/forums/show...3&page=1&pp=25

Hopefully DFI gets their offering out soon...
