Dual celerons with some of the PIII mods helps overclock!
Dual celerons with some of the PIII mods helps overclock!
I decided to try my hand at the PIII mods, C10 replacement, voltage regulator replacement, add wires to sockets on underside of board, modified NEO S370's, 1100E PIII's, etc.
Well, I had partial success, 1 PIII in either socket at 110 Mhz, FSB.
But I wanted dual!
So just for grins I decided to leave all in place except for the PIII's, Neo's and additional wires, and reinstalled my 366's.
Previously 366's dual stable at 550 in Win2K, 571 single in 98SE.
With mods in place dual at 571, single at 583 but I wanted more!
I lapped the cpu's and now have 583 dual, 594 single and will go into Windowz at 605 single but freezes at splash screen!
This BP6 is a version 1 board, Rev .40, I am at 2.20 volts on the cpu's.
FEP-32's with Arctic Silver and a 486 fan assembly plus Arctic Silver on the Northbridge.
My configuration is as follows:
Win98SE/Win2K dual boot
521 meg PC133 SDRAM (1 256, 2 128 sticks)
G400 MAX dual head 32 meg AGP vid card
SBLive Platinum (original) with live drive using Audigy drivers in 2K.
WinTV GO! card
generic Firewire card
Adaptec SCSII card for X6EL scanner
Linksys ISA 10/100 NIC
Lite On 52X 24X 52X 'burner
Sony DVD-RAM/DVD-R 'burner
Sparkle 300 watt PS
Pioneer 104S DVD player
Kenwood 52X TrueX cd player
Modified RU BIOS with PIII micro code
High Point ATA on board ATA 66 controller with 1.26 BIOS, 1.22 drivers in 98SE and 1.28 drivers in 2K
1 20 gig WD ATA66 7200 rpm hdd on IDE 3
1 60 gig Maxtor 60 gig ATA100 7200 rpm hdd on IDE 4
So far, about $10 US and 3 hours of my time (for Celeron updates)
I'm thinking about a couple of 78 watt Peltiers ($14 US on Ebay) and a 40 watt Peltier ($12) for the Northbridge (also on Ebay).
OBTW, 433's max out at 722 at 110 fsb, since this board goes 106/108 and 433's are dirt cheap on Ebay, what the heck.
Besides my new Gigabyte board is on the way and I need something to keep me out of trouble

Good news!
What replacement components did you use? I may do the same.

I'm a bit mixed up. There is no Yoshiro I can find here.jaybird wrote:Please see Yoshiro's "Original PIII Mods" per this website.
Did you mean Yoichiro? http://geta.yoh-tech.com/eng_top.htm
or yoshihiro? http://www.bp6.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1134
or am I missing something?
Uh, sorry 'bout that !

Hey Derek!!!!
It was the friken powersupply all along!
All my strange problems can be traced to the power supply!
Not able to run dual on the BP6, stange shutdowns on the "new" Gigabyte (which still turned out to be a "bummer").
As I write this I am reformatting my drives on my BP6 at 1100, dual !
My PS was not "dead" but very "sick".
12 volts was actually 10.5 to 11.25!, 5 volts was 3.3 to 5!
NOTE:! BIOS still showed it at 12 volts!
Only a volt-ohm-meter gave me the "correct" reading!, Aint that a bitch!
Maybe others should be made aware of this strange problem?
Will keep you posted as to the end result.

Re: Hey Derek!!!!
Power supply problem. How interesting. My problem was diifferent but it turned out to be the power supply. Bad capacitors and power supplys. Have you checked your capacitors or have you already replaced yours?jaybird wrote:It was the friken powersupply all along!

Dual 1100 CPU's!? Tualatin? Which modification(s) did you use?
dual PIII mods not stable
First, to answer your question(s):
EC10 replaced, was 100 mf, now 1000, 6v.
Voltage requlator replacement; used RadioShack LM317T (maybe should have used LM370T?).
I just snipped the leads, left old regulator on board, + lead to 5v
on main board connector socket, negative side of cap to ground plain on board.
Noise supression cap attached to LM317T is a 1200, 10volt (very large but the only one I had on hand).
Modified NEO 370's
PIII 1100/256/100/1.75 volt CPU's
My question for you is what voltage regulator did you use and what cap off the regulator?
My system is unstable and will not allow me to load any OS completely without locking up or telling me that I have corrupted files.
Stock NEO heatsinks, 95 deg. F to 105 deg. F for cpu's.
Any ideas or tips please?
