bypolar Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 I just recieved a 875P-T and it is setup on the bench. Specs: Intel 630 EMT64 2-512 Geil UltraX PC4400 OCZ 450W modstream 9800 AIW The system will post do the memtest and say HT enabled processer then it automaticly reboots. Just as if when the Reset buttom is pressed. If I try to hit the (Del) key to enter the bios it reboots immediately. Actually hitting any key on the keyboard during the memtest results in a reboot. If i just let the system do its thing it just repeadlty reboots after the memtest and processer clocl detection. The post screen is showing the correct proc and speed and the correct memory amount. I have tried a 9800 pro and a MX4000 pci card. along with a different keyboard and mouse. I have 4 sticks of the Geil and no other memory. The Geil has worked in all the other systems I have built. I am thinking it is a bios thing with the New Proc. I am going to take it into the Local computer shop and see if I can use a 500 series proc to see if it keeps rebooting. If it acts normal I'll just do a flash. What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bypolar Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Ok, I see now. I went to the shop and used a P4 520 and flashed the bios and it boots up fine now with the 630 core. :nod: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam11811 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 nice heatsink where did you get it. (processor) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bypolar Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I picked it up at sidewindercomputer.com I read this review and thought I would give it a try.Review I ran prime for 8 hours and the temp never went above 43C.Case temp 33C Fan speed 2900RPM. I have a Thermal probe taped to the recessed portion of the CPU. The IT H/W doctor program is only about 1C different than the Probe. That is a nice change. There is just enough room for the fan to sit between the Memory. it is perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICON57 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 nice looking set up...did you just add a fan to the top of the stock dfi passive northbridge heatsink? if so where did you get it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bypolar Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Yes I just added the fan,The fan is a sunon 40MM 3 pin. I get them locally. You can find them around on the Web. there like 4-10.00 bucks depending on where you get them. I use 3M doublesided foam sticky tape it is a Automotive grade and works well. Never had one fall off.

muck Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 thinking about getting one of these for my 630... so i can make use of some of my older components lying around... only have 6xx processors... can the bios be updated with the use of a 5xx processor? or will i need to get it flashed for me?

bypolar Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I used a 520 to flash the bios so I could get the 630 to work. The Dimond flash image 2005/03/25 is the one I used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
