View Full Version : Does the Tualatin PIN WIRING trick work w/ Powerleap adapter?

I've got a Tualatin Celeron 1.3GHz on Abit BH6 BX440 mobo using the Powerleap PL-IP3/T adapter. The system doesn't even post at 112FSB and 1.6V (vid1 & vid2 connected). Does this pin wiring trick work at all using the powerleap adapter?
I know about the adapter mod, but it requires soldering so it's not my first choice :).

BTW, as fas as I know the adapter totally ignores the voltages selected from the bios. Should the bios voltage be set the same as the wired voltage or can it be left alone?

Yours,

No there's a seperate mod for the PowerLeap adapters I forgot where it was it had to do something with the jumpers.

Actually there is no reason for it not to work.

Vidpinning worked with the powerleap Neo S370 adapter. This was a socket 370 adapter for PPGA to FCPGA

Haven't heard anything about the new one

where can one find information about the 'adapter mod' you mentioned? I plan on gettting a PowerLeap 370->Tualatin convertor if they ever make it for my motherboard.

Ok - now I now it - Wiring with Powerleap adapter really doesn't work :(. I pin-wired the CPU to 1.65V (highest available by pin wiring with 1.5V default Vcore). I actually GOT IT TO BOOT using 112MHz FSB/1.65V! It has never done that before. But, it reported the CPU as 1408MHz??? It's Cele1.3GHz, so the FSB would be 1408/13=108MHz?!? It's Abit BH6 - I don't have FSBs like that, so it was totatty screwed.
Windows starting loading but the whole system hang before it could get to desktop. The system didn't even boot after that - not after waiting a while or pressing insert while booting. I had to discharge the CMOS to bring it back alive.
So it seems the wire trick really did something, but what?

Sorry, it's in finnish, but I think you can figure it out by the pictures.

Well, IF u got it boot 112fsb w/ wiretrick and it hasn't done it b4 wo/ wiretrick, THEN wiretrick is obviously working (it has raised the voltage) IF you're not having cooler room / cpu as before. You can't trust what bios says for the frequency... my bios says about 576x4 Mhz :D

Hi Doer, "long time no see" :).

Even if it helped or not, I'll have to mod the adapter because using 1.5V default core, the voltage of 1.65V is the highest I can reach using wiring - and it doesn't seem to be enough. Not even close because I couldn't even load Windows.

I still have this feeling that the wiring did even more than raised the voltage. I haven't been forced to discharge the CMOS very often while overclocking...

Yours,
