I have gotten the 1.4 Ghz celeron to work fine in the first of two BP6 machines but want to solve one problem before doing the second. The globalwin cpu fan will not come on despite my having added an extension wire to the thermistor normally just under the cpu and relocating it to between the Lin-Lin adapter and the cpu. For now I have the cpu fan wired into the case fan plug so it's on full blast all the time - works but it's noisy. Anyone else have a solution? Also, anyone have a good (cheap) source for 256 MB DIMMs for the BP6?

Nicklogan: What you used? 2 "lin-lin" adapters?
I'm thinking about put a Tualeron in another BP6, only using 2 "lin-lin" adapters, because Neo is very expensive. :)

No, I used the same configuration you described - Neo S370 with a Lin-Lin adapter. If Powerleap would sell the S370 without the fan it would bring the price down - I used the Globalwin fan I already had. What did you do for cooling?

I bought my Powerleap without cooler. I'm using a Globalwin FEP32 (I have a pair) which I used when my machine was a dual 366@550.

Well just tried just a 1.0 coppermine with just powerleap and then just the lin lin. Same results no video so can't even get to bios screen. Yoshihiro, what video card are you using? :oops:

The BP6 boots? Can you hear the beepr? In my case, the problem is probably the AGP clock . I need to try with a PCI video board :)

No beep means no post, the machine isn't booting. A PCI video board does not help so much :(

Example:

The computer is not posting because some setting is preventing it from posting. Holding down Insert (if it is not posting) will enable safe-mode and allow it to post.

Edit:

If you want (at your own risk), set the FSB on your BP6 to something insane. Save and Exit and voila: No post! Now, shut off the computer, wait a few seconds... Hold down "Insert" and then power up the computer: It posts! w00t!

The key phrase is Safe-Mode. Derek is using the phrase for the BIOS Safe-Mode. :lol:

Maybe it should be called BIOS Reset-Mode.

I was confused, but for a moment. :twisted:

"Setup Defaults" is more appropriate IMO. Just like the option you get in the BIOS setup menu.

OK finally some time...I just tried booting with my reliable set up..2 cele 400's while holding down the insert key and that did nothing.....Does that only work w/ no posting? This power leap and coppermine should work...I am getting pissed....maybe I got a bad CPU?

I could never get the Insert key trick to work, so I always used the CCMOS jumper instead - it does the same thing.

from what i recall using the jumper cleans out all settings and sets it back to factory default ones whereas holding insert merely sets cpu speed and voltage to factory default values. all other settings will remain what you left them at

So far, it seems like just the Lin-lin on top of the Neo work to get the system to do anything at all.

I was wondering whether those that have gotten it to work are using a Neo that has that trace on the bottom cut to get it to work in the BP6 in dual mode (for dual Coppermine)?

So, if everybody that has gotten it to work has the trace cut (as per Powerleap's guidelines for BP6), then perhaps something similar needs to be done to the bottom Lin-Lin for some dual Lin-Lin Tualatin fun.

This is just an idea (one of the ones that just pops into your head when you're trying to avoid work), and so is probably completely wrong. But hey, that's my contribution :lol:

Hope it helps, or at least get someone else thinking who knows more about what's going on.

Still kicking along with the Abit BP6 :-)
