more socket 370

[Cunninglinguist]

OK guys I need some more advice.
Here's my sititation:
I just started swapping procs in anticipation of my new server for the folding farm.
I pulled a 500 celeron out, and it had a large metal square on it. The P3's and 1000 celerons only have a small area, which appears to be a plasticish (is that a neologism?) substance that makes contact with the heatsink. Is there supposed to be a shim that i am missing? There's a pic here of what I’m talking about from a site selling heatsinks. They don't mention anything.

I know there's a few of you that upgraded some socket 370s in your day.
Thanks for the help.

BTW all of the new procs have lower voltages, but I'm obviously concerned about heat so if anyone with better google skills than I can find a chart with thermal outputs for P3s and celerons between 500 & 1200, I'd be your best friend

Your old celeron 500 (mendocino 250nm) is built with the heatspreader, where as the coppermines did not (the only intel desktop cpus with no die protection via heat spreader), what ypu see there with the P3 coppermines in the middle is the actual die or processor its self - apply thermal paste directly to it.

Heat? all P6 chips are cold and efficent, dont worry bout them, the hottest P3 outputs 33w of heat - about 8w more then your celeron 500.

Take note - altho there is one socket370 there are three diffrent generations.

Well the chipset is the intel 810e, and one of the later bios revisions

Added Coppermine D0 microcode patch for latest processor stepping.

The bios automatically configures fsb & voltage, but doesn't display it.
Perhaps I'll try a windows software based solution.
Recommendations are welcome 😀 😀
I've only tested a few because I was concerned about the contact between the proc and sink. Do you think a thermal pad would be better than paste??
So far the only one that wouldn't boot was one with a really low voltage. BTW it was nice of Intel to print that stuff on the proc instead of the hieroglyphics I’m used to.

Thanks for the quick reply.

i810 boards "oficially" support the mendocino celerons (~300-533mhz) and the coppermine celerons (566A - 1200?, and the FSB100 P3's) - there just about guarenteed to work, where as the third gen P3's (tualatin's) have a diffrent pin out, vcore and higher speeds (max 1400 but overclock great - my 1.1A goes to 1.46) - coppermines have a 1.75v vcore (i think some more more/less) where as the tualatins have a 1.475 and 1.525v vcore and prolly wont run, but you can get adapters to do it - i got a Celeron Tualatin 1200A on a Gigabyte board with the i810e chipset - works great.

Another issue - if you have a P3 EB series chip (133mhz FSB) they might not run at full speed (FSB100 instead) cause the 810 doesnt officially support it but some use FSB133 anyhow.

Those P3's are great for servers - im usin a P3 1000 as my server, dam quick.

Coppermines ran 1.50v to 1.75v depending on speed and stepping. The low voltage ones were around 500MHz using the early steppings (including the PIII 533 and Celeron 566 Coppermine).

The very last batches of Coppermines were FC-PGA2, which ONLY means they had a heat spreader. Most people associate FC-PGA2 with the Tualatin pin assignments, but that's not how it works.

Tualatin adapters work in most boards. VRM 8.4, needed for Coppermine support, went as low as 1.30v.
