Asus P3V4X/S370-133/Tualatin 1.2Ghz (by 2 users)


posted by wilbr on Nov 22, 2007


Hello,

I am trying to install a Tualatin 1.2Ghz cpu (1.45v) on an Asus P3V4x motherboard using a Asus S370-133 rev 1.01 adapter.

I set the mobo in jumper free mode (JEN pins 2-3 "'ON'') and DIP switches U12 are all ''OFF''.

DIP switches on S370 are set to DEFAULT (1-2,1-2,1-2,1-2,2-3) and the cpu type(J6) is set to 1-2(coppermine).

I use BIOS version 1006.0004.

When I power my PC there is no BOOT, I only get a black screen(in DOS).

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Bernie

I am trying to install a Pentium 3 1.4GHz Tualatin CPU in my old, but trusty, Asus P3V4X motherboard. However, the system frequency multiple is locked at 6.5x and I need to have 10.5x to run at 1.4GHz. Therefore when I am running with a FSB of 133MHz I can only get 866MHz. I know that CPUs may be locked, but why would it be locked at 6.5x when its specifications (per Intel) are to run with a frequency multiple of 10.5x with a FSB of 133MHz? I do have the latest BIOS rev.

Any help would be appreciated. I use a laptop for my daily work but I wanted to “revive” this computer of mine and put the fastest CPU in that I could. If this works then I’ll find some deals to increase the memory and video for cheap. Here are some other details:

Motherboard: Asus P3V4X
-Rev: 1.02
-BIOS version: 1006.004
-Jumperfree Mode
-CPU Vcore: 1.45V

Slocket: Slot 1 to Socket 370 adapter: Upgradeware Slot-T (rev 1.1)
-CPU Voltage (JP1): 1.45 V
-FSB (JP2): 133 MHz

CPU: Pentium III-S 1.4 GHz
-sSpec Number: SL6BY
-512MB L2 cache
-133 MHz FSB
-1.45 V
-I actually have six of these CPUs and the multiplier is locked at 6.5x on all of them.
-My previous CPU was a P3 533MHz Coppermine EB (133MHz FSB, Slot 1).

Memory:
-3 x 128MB Apacer PC133

Video: Riva TNT2 Ultra 32MB

Thanks,
Eric

The ASUS slocket will not support the Tualatin cpu unless it is adapted for use. You could try a tualatin to s370 adapter in your asus slocket to make it compatible. As the P3V4X has no native support for the cpu either it will not recognise the cpu as a tualatin. My P3V4X sees tualatins as PII cpus.

You must use SLOT-T adapter for Tualatin CPU on the MB ASUS P3V4X. And i oc 133MHz 1.8V to 1.6G, very stability.
