anyone running a pentium d 915 in a shuttle ss59g 2.0 stable?

[kc8adu]

got the shuttle box cheap at fort wayne with you guesed it,bad caps.
this cpu is not on the supported list but is a varient of a 920 which is.
get bsod loading windows and ubuntu locks up.
things run with cache disabled but slow.
either the board isnt supporting the 2x 2mb l2 or this chip is bad.
troubleshooter tesed the cache with no errors but unsure if it tests both.
board is stable on a 3.2 ht

Is this S478 or LGA775?? I seem to remember a story on the internet somewhere involving a Prescott core P4 and a Shuttle, and the PSU destroyed itself.. By the other chip you mentioned, the 3.2HT, those came in both Northwood and Prescott varieties.. Could be a BIOS issue too. I probably wouldn't though.. IIRC, even the Prescott designed shuttles only had a 250 or 300 W PSU, and even it wasn't a high quality unit..


Edit: went ahead and looked it up, found this:

Looks like the motherboard has to be at a certain rev level to support certain chips....


In any event, it will be interesting to see how Poly's hold up in there.. Then again i have a S478 shuttle that burned up the 3.3V pins in the power supply socket. Just found a Socket A one, and another PSU to pop into it..

Also found this:



Looks like a 200W PSU box.. I wouldn't put a 120W TDP chip in there... Unless you have a later hardware revision with a 250 or 300 W PSU in it.. Or shoehorn a 300W 1U PSU into it..

This box would have to have an LGA775 socket because it runs a Pentium D, and If I am not mistaken, Pentium D's only came in LGA775.

Thanks.

if you dont plan on fixing the 478 shuttle board/psu dont toss it.
a friend got his killed by lightning over the summer.
sounds like yours is an easy fix and my friend would love to see his running again.

btw i have a 300w enlight psu for this apart for a recap/refan.
the 200 in it got recapped already.
running stable with fsb set at 215 so far with a 3.2 ht.
its got a corsair 2gb xms kit in it for ram.i will see how far i can push it.
it ran memtest 2 days without errors so i have it running mprime now.its been running 24 hours now without errors.
i think its time to bump it again.

Might consider this: Oh, I see you used different CPU. That's good. D915 is newer than D920 (irony!).

Your issues with D915 is that SFF due to chipset and certain design intel changed in that 9xx series made this slightly incompatible with eariler chipsets.

That is why D920 is B1 stepping and older type that supported in that list. While D915 stepping C1 changed many things and also this requires new bios code to support this D915.

Maybe electrically incompatible. Such as not the right Vcore or GTL and etc.
