What's the max CPU that can be used in a Dell SX280? I've been searching for over 2 hours....someone has to know... I know they won't support dual cores, but will they run the 2mb L2 cache and 64-bit supported cpu's?!?

Re: I can't seem to find this info anywhere - SX280 max CPU
what's chipset?
Due to small size they can only can handle so much watts.
Secondly lot of dual cpu P4s are prescott which is too high watts for small factor (over 100W)
and let alone the single core P4 prescott of celeron 2.4 (73W) and P4 2.66 both 533 fsb at 84W. That is why I strictly choose Northwood P4 for good power and HT feature (800Fsb and 2.8GHz, 68W). The most these can handle is northwood 3.0GHz.
Over 3.0GHz prescott, the watts rapidly climbs past 100W mark.

I've seen a few of them with 3.4's in them... It's an Intel 915G Express Chipset.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: I can't seem to find this info anywhere - SX280 max CPU
Socket 775 only hmm!
P4 651 = 3.4GHz later generation prescott 65W rev D0
P4 651 = 86W both are 2MB cache, prescotts
P4 650 = 3.4GHz - 2MB prescott 84W
But there are older 1MB prescott cpus that are hungry too:
P4 550 (3.4GHz 84W 1MB 84W
P4 550(3.4GHz - 1MB) 115W
P4 551 (3.4GHz - 1MB) 84W
You can see quite spread of P4s in watts and knowing big names like Dell, tend to use coolest CPU usually especially in small cases. You would have to check those SX280 3.4 CPU type with a CPU ID utility. If it say rev D0 then it is cool cpu.
BTW: google: "erols process spec" without quotes and click first link.
PS what's is your going price for SX270 that needs recapped? as I don't have funds to buy working ones but at good price and can fix too.

Re: I can't seem to find this info anywhere - SX280 max CPU
All the 270's I get I repair, I don't sell broken units. I do have a couple of them here that are missing various parts (hdd's and opticals).
The chipset is the 915G, supports 800fsb. I ended up with 4 sx280's, one without a CPU, so I was going to jam the fastest thing I could in it.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Okay. 800 fsb? not all these P4 I listed uses 800 so that narrows to few especially with socket 775. Some came with 1066 fsb.
P4 D (dual cpu) is way too much power and I think requires different chipset too.

This guy at the end shows 3.4gig and 3gig of ram right about 5:15 he shows upgraded specs.JimComment

Re: I can't seem to find this info anywhere - SX280 max CPU
FWIW, I stuck a 3.4GHz/800fsb/1mb CPU in one with the A9 BIOS, it would post, bitch about an incompatible CPU, and halt itself....<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Try 3.2 or 3.0. Is A9 bios the latest?

maybe edit the bios to insert the microcode for your chip?Originally posted by TopcatComment

btw it looks like there are a few bad caps showing in that very crappy video.
all the sx boxes are hard on caps.run way too hot.Comment

Re: I can't seem to find this info anywhere - SX280 max CPU
Yes they are. This 280 was full of bad panasonics when I got it. The extreme heating, plus the fact that this machine ran 24/7, they roast even good brand caps. As tough as the good brand caps may be, they're not indestructible!Originally posted by kc8adu
I may see what I can do with the BIOS, it's been a while since I hacked one, so it may be worth a shot. A GX280 will run the same 3.4, and the SX280 is the same chipset, so they have it disabled likely for power reasons.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?

This Dell computer is a pain in the a** because of it only has one memory slot this computer only had 4 megabytes of memory and slower than shit I found a 8 megabyte memory module and it is better but still slow as shit the maximum is 32 megabytes of RAM but I was not able to find one I found some that are 16 megabytes but they are 1600/128000 type and I am not sure if this computer will work with this type of memory or not
Dose anyone knows where I can find a 32 megabytes memory module for this computer because the battery still works fairly well still I would like to use it on my... -
Greetings! I have this ERP650-PS atx power supply, it is a relatively simple psu, the primary has a driver IC that controls the two main mosfets (two 20n60S5), together with a Classic Standby circuit with a PWM IC (not a FET like the VIper22A) , relatively similar to the SDC606P.
The whole point is that I got this power supply years ago when I had no knowledge, apparently the PWM IC was burned because someone turned the power supply on with the switch at 110v in a 220v network (classic error). Important detail: the power supply at the time came without the primary capacitors.

I am trying to find this part on the logic board. See pictures below. It might be CR812, not sure. Any help would be appreciated. And where could I find the part?
