slngsht Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 So I got a socket converter to make the FCPGA-2 (tualatin) processors work in FCPGA motherboards. It has a few different jumper configurations, and I followed the very basic instructions on the box, and set it to run on the Intel chipset for my CUSL2 motherboard (x86-secret beta bios). I put in the Celeron 1.4, turned it on, but got no post, no beep codes, nothing. I'm unwilling to try any of my other tualatins at this point just in case I fried this one, and I don't have a board that will support the tualatin natively. Note, that before I knew any better, I popped in this same tualatin cpu in the board without the adapter. Is it a possibility that I fried it when I did this? Has anybody else used the socket adapter before that may shed some light on what jumpers I should be using in case these instructions are botched?

slngsht Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) ugh. Hold off on a reply. I noticed that this thing is poorly designed and when the pins are pushed down in any way, they descend and are possibly not even making contact. Edit: Okay, fixed the pins, and it's still not working. I even tried a p3-s 1133mhz tualatin with no success I did find this and tried different jumper settings with no success. Here are configurations that can be used with the adaptor. These do not come with the adaptor but were found on a chinese chat site. I dunno how this was found out and released to the internet public, but apparently they work. As I said these settings do not come with the sale of the adaptor and were never printed with the sale of it: no jumpers a1 thru b3 1.30V a8-a9 1.35V a2-a3 1.40V a2-a3 a8-a9 1.45V a5-a6 1.50V a5-a6 a8-a9 1.55V a2-a3 a5-a6 1.60V a2-a3 a5-a6 a8-a9 1.65V b2-b3 1.70V a8-a9 b2-b3 1.75V a2-a3 b2-b3 1.80V a2-a3 a8-a9 b2-b3 1.85V a4-a5 b2-b3 1.90V a8-a9 b2-b3 1.95V a2-a3 a5-a6 b2-b3 2.00V a2-a3 a5-a6 a8-a9 b2-b3 2.05V b5-b6 b8-b9 66MHz b8-b9 100MHz no jumpers b4 thru b9 133MHz Source: http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/showthread.php?t=172281 Edited December 23, 2010 by slngsht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Which adapter?, Powerleap or Lin-Lin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 lin-lin. I just used a stock photo online for the pictures I posted above, but I figured they were the same. The box picture is identical to the box that I got. I also forgot to mention that I purchased two of them, and both don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I use the same adapter. The only jumpers I use are on A5-6 and B8-9, and it works just fine. All other adjustments I make in the bios or SetFSB. Hope that helps you a little. Edited December 24, 2010 by Mr.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) YES!!!! It works! I'm so happy right about now... thank you so much Mr. Scott!! Now I'm just wondering if the jumpers can fool the motherboard into thinking that the default voltage is higher, and trick the motherboard into allowing more voltage to be fed to the chip than it normally would. (the voltage ceiling on this board limits it, and I always max it out) Edited December 26, 2010 by slngsht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 26, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 26, 2010 hey bro the jumpers do control the stock vid of the cpu which will be recognized by the board. with the additional voltage of the board you can give way more than 2V then. i think the first issue was because you didn't "mount" the adapter correct on the board. if you want i maybe can make video for that.

slngsht Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) It wasn't because I didn't mount it right. I changed the jumpers with it mounted, and it worked, where it didn't before. I am surprised that the pins in the adapter descended down into it though. I wonder if I should bake it to reset the solder after I reset the pins. Also, would this adapter change the VID of coppermines as well? That would help a bit with some of my older celerons. Here are some pics showing the descended pins on the adapter: Edited December 26, 2010 by slngsht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 26, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 26, 2010 the vid will be changed on any cpu (coppermine\tualatin). yeah, i think those descended pins are the problem with boot issues you have.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Those pins are your problem for sure, and the extra jumpers WILL give you more voltage just as Turrican says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
