What would happen to a tualatin running at 1.60/1.65 volts?
- Thread starter Craig56

Vmax for that CPU is 1.75v so 1.60/1.65v is fine. 1.45v standard -> 1.65v isn't too bad as far as overvolting goes.
I kind of have to chuckle at needing a "good" heatsink on those old Tualatins. At stock voltage they are 21-22W processors at full load. Overvolting it at 1.65v wouldn't likely even dissipate over 27W at full load.

I ran a tualatin in a 440BX just fine, it detected the voltage correctly. I use a modified Abit slotket. I think I still have that thing laying around.

yeah tualatin was a great chip. Despite being called a pentium 3, it really is significantly different from Coppermine (specifically with regards to the cache) and as such it really is more like the middle ground between the pentium 3 and pentium m. It's not quite like coppermine, but not quite like Banias.
I kind of consider the PIII-m's (mobile tualatin with 512k L2) to be the first pentium m's, not banias. Mobile Tualatins even used the newer 478-pin socket like pentium m does.

I have one of those tualatin's and a copper heatsink around here, my tualatin board took a dump on me, and I never did get another one
The modifications to run a Tualatin CPU even without an adapter are pretty easy.
Isolate the 3 pins with the green dots (I used masking tape) and move reset (longer wire traced in red). The shorter wire in the upper right is to correct a small voltage difference (0.05v IIRC), and it's completely optional.
On the motherboard you just need to widen the holes where the tape covered pins fit into. I twisted an X-Acto knife in the 3 holes to widen each.

And it will run at the correct speeds? I have a s370 board laying around here....

Interesting, I might have to see if I can find that processor now
Tualatin Mod: That is some classic stuff
Here's a link to an article that I wrote almost 5 years ago. I read back through it and I don't remember that much about it. Good luck.

I remember reading an article back in the day, when the Tualatin was initally designed, they designed it with 1M L2. It performed SO well, that it destroyed thier new P4 line. The engineers were told to cut the L2 down to 512 to cripple its performance to lower than the Netburst processors. If Intel had only known....
If it doesn't take, let me know. I've been trying to track down a Tualatin, but I keep getting outbid on eBay. I bought an uncapped 1.4GHz from the FS/FT section, but it was DOA.Interesting, I might have to see if I can find that processor now

What would you gimme for it? I have an idea of where its at, and, getting it up and running would be more of a rainy day project, I need to finish my computer room in the basement before I ever get to playing with that proc.
Out of respect to the OP, I'll switch this over to PM in a moment.

if that falls through, i got a 1.13ghz tualatin 512k and a asus tuscl-2, i had it running the other day. LMK.
Its not the system in the sig btw, the sig is a coppermine 1ghz meant for glide games and such for a more authentic experience.
Check PM in a minute.
