fThanksor the tip, it has helped me. In c't it is repeatedly pointed out that the new Pentium III and Celeron processors do not run in older mainboards because they supposedly cannot set the lower core voltage for these CPUs. However, I have a Slot 1 FC PGA adapter with jumpers, with the help of which I can set voltages between 1.5 and 1.8 volts on the mainboard I bought at the beginning of 1999. In this case, is there anything against running an FC-PGA processor in my PC?
Every Slot 1 mainboard can vary the processor voltage within certain limits, because even the Pentium II, Celeron and Pentium III processors before the Coppermine era required different voltages. Some manufacturers installed regulators early on that can also supply voltages below 1.8 volts - a Coppermine chip should therefore run on these boards. Unfortunately, however, not all motherboard companies publish corresponding compatibility lists.
Intel processors have five voltage identification pins, which they use to tell the motherboard the required voltage. A motherboard is not actually allowed to boot if it cannot set the voltage required by the processor. On some boards, a different voltage can be set manually using the BIOS setup or jumpers. Such jumpers can also be found on many Slot 1 Socket 370 adapters.
With these jumpers it is possible to start a Coppermine process.
