Motherboard jumpers

[smaxted]

I have a IBM 200mhz pentium pro but the motherboard does not have a jumper guide on the mobo. Im trying to overclock it but I can't figure out what settings to use....if anyone could help me figure out the jumper settings. Oh yah the jumper is a switch style. The motherboard has an intel chipset, socket 8, and has dual processor capability. It has a scssi adapter on the mobo and 168 pin dimm. Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

You'll need the manual for the motherboard. Most of the 'brands' build/buy the boards and cases designed for each other. They do not anticipate that people will want to play inside of them and don't silkscreen the jumper settings on the board, keeps the casual tinkering from screwing up the warranty. The only place you may be able to find the manual would be on IBM's site. Considering that the Pentium Pro 200 was the fastest for that CPU, I'd have my doubts about being able to overclock on that board. The Pentium II replaced the Pro but with a Slot 1 module.

Berton: The only reason why I need the brand and jumper settings is because I dont have the manual...if I did I wouldn't be asking so would any one know what type of mobo it is. Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

No brain:...that isn't the right motherboard...the mobo has a switch jumper not those tab jumpers Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

Dip switches do the same thing as straps. There is NO difference. I thought you could use your smarts and just correlate. Pardon me for trying to help! "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."

Sorry, I didn't notice any mention of having or not having the manual on the post I answered, "does not have a jumper guide on the mobo" doesn't give a clue either way.

IBM and the other 'brands' usually have the boards made to their specs and the markings will usually be left off. If the board has a model number on it, there may be a way to get the information. Without a 'road map' of some sort, it would be impossible to find the switch settings needed without getting a wrong setting and burning up the CPU. I recently changed a CPU on a Dell and had to get the jumper settings from Dell.

Some BIOSes can be read and determine who made the board but most 'brands' don't allow that information to flash on the screen.

If Smart--s had looked at the web site I referred him to he would have seen that that CPU can only run at 180 or 200. You can't overclock it. This is all I have to say. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."
