ASUS P5K/EPU new motherboard
Posted by Unknown
This new motherboard is announced to officially support 1600 FSB. Strange behaviour when intel only guaranty it offcially on the X48 upcoming chipset. It also includes the EPU technology available on last X38 high end cards and on the P5K Pro. There's no more info on this card, nor it seems to be yet released.
As I can see from the shots, it is 8 phase power, but the 4 up phases can't be cooled as there's no holes to fit any heatsink. Also the ATX 12v power connector is only 4 pins instead of 8 pins
The most interesting is to see how the P35 platform is still developped with new motherboards, just 4 weeks before X48 release, while the X38 plateform is still freezed. Hopefully, ASUS will continue to update the P35 bioses for a while. But the most strange is that these new P35 boards look really as the low end segment cards

New Motherboard ATX systems
Posted by Unknown
# Hole 'A' is elongated (oval). And its center may vary as much as 0.5".
# Hole 'N' on the Baby-AT and Full-AT motherboards does not line up perfectly with holes 'A' and 'G'. It is 0.25" closer to the edge of the motherboard than the other two holes.
# Hole 'B', which was required on previous specifications, is considered optional by the ATX 2.01 spec for ATX and Mini-ATX chassis.
# Hole 'F', which was optional on previous specifications, is required by ATX spec 2.01 for ATX chassis.
# ATX motherboards have a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connector built into the board. The serial ports, parallel port, and any USB ports are also built in. The AT board only has the 5-pin AT keyboard connector built in. The rest attach with cables to various headers on the mainboard and are usually mounted to an expansion slot plate on the back of the computer.
# The 20-pin ATX connector is keyed so it can only be inserted into the socket one way. It is sometimes difficult to fully seat the ATX power connector. Try not to flex the board too much when inserting it.
# The momentary button on the front of the case that powers on the system is supposed to be connected to the motherboard. Unlike AT-style systems, it isn't directly connected to the power supply. Because the ATX motherboard is not physically disconnected from the P/S by the power switch, the motherboard can enter power down mode and be brought back up in a short amount of time. The main shutoff switch is almost always in the back of the power supply, although this feature is becoming more and more scarce with newer units. But holding down the front power switch for a few seconds will also shut off the machine (assuming things are setup that way in the BIOS). Some BIOSes allow an ATX momentary switch to act like an AT power switch and immediately shut off the computer. But the ATX power supply still needs to be attached to the motherboard and not directly to the On/Off switch.
# Do not insert any components while the ATX power supply is still plugged in. The ATX P/S constantly supplies juice to the motherboard, and components can be damaged if upgrading while the P/S is still plugged in.
# Beware of ATX power supplies that are not ATX 2.01 compliant. Some newer motherboards won't power up if the P/S doesn't conform. Some power supplies will also not come on if there is no draw from a floppy or hard drive in addition to the motherboard. This may vary from P/S to P/S. Although I believe this only applies to AT power supplies. And, no, I don't know why I stuck this observation on the ATX page. :-P
# There is a new ATX power supply specification (0.9) that drastically increases the amperage spec for the 3.3 volt line on the power supply. I believe the old spec was for 14 amps for a 300 watt supply. It is now 28 amps for a 300 watt supply because of the possibility of running two amperage hungry chips in a dual configuration.
# According to the ATX specification, the fan on ATX power supply is intended to blow in over the CPU to allow for cooling. This isn't because this is necessarily the best solution for cooling a hot processor. It's mostly a cost saving measure. In most of the older Pentium systems, Intel recommends a dedicated fan in the front blowing in from the bottom of the case (if it's a Mini/Mid/Tower) and the power supply fan at the top back of the case blowing out. A decent airflow should develop. Atleast that's the idea. But you'll have to figure out what the best thermal solution for your particular situation is. Because what seems like a logical solution to a cooling problem (such as adding an additional fan), can actually have unintended consequences. See FloTherm for an example. In the end, a heatsink with the ATX power supply blowing over the heatsink fins may be all you need.
# While ATX is a standard, there are many different styles of I/O backplates available. Be sure that you get the right one to fit the port connectors on the back of your mainboard. See Shuttle's page of backplates for some of the variants.
# Some cases (like my InWin Q500) can take many different styles of boards. Some can only take one or two. An ATX case which can accept AT motherboards should have a backplate for the AT keyboard's 5-pin DIN connector to stick through.
# Most Pentium-II based systems (even ones from OEMs) are ATX. Motherboards based on the 440EX chipset come almost exclusively in the Micro-ATX format, though there may be a few exceptions.
# Micro-ATX specifies up to 4 expansion slots (usually 2 PCI and 2 ISA). MicroATX also allows for a smaller power supply (SFX) that has the same motherboard connector as an ATX P/S, but takes up less space.
# Holes 'R' and 'S' on the Micro-ATX board are not standard on regular ATX cases, and the front left of the motherboard may not be supported at all. Using a standoff with adhesive on the bottom or a rubber bumper to support the board is suggested. Although the bumper will only help support ISA cards when they're inserted, and not when they're removed.
# In order to help with feeding newer more powerful CPUs their required amperage draws, a new ATX power supply standard: ATX12V has been developed. This new power supply lessens the required amperage rating on the 3.3v line and transfers much of the amperage draw to an auxilliary 4-pin plug. This extra plug is required alongside the traditional 20-pin ATX power plug for Pentium 4 motherboards. While the ATX12V standard is intended to be backwards compatible, it may pose some problems for other CPUs that draw a good deal of amperage, but whose boards don't use the new plug. This includes some of the very high power draw Athlon processors, and in particular dual Athlon systems. These may require a different power supply altogether. So changing between Intel and AMD systems using the same P/S may now be more difficult. Beware of this possible snafu. AMD has a list of compatible power supplies on their website.
# There may be an auxilliary connector (P2) on your ATX power supply that resembles an old AT-style 6-pin plug. This is used on some server motherboards. If your board has a plug for this power connector, use it. Don't confuse this P2 connector with the 22-pin P2 connector for WTX power supplies.
# There may be an extra 6-pin plug (Aux - 2x3 configuration) on your ATX power supply. This is for fan monitoring, IEEE-1394 (Firewire) power supply, and remote 3.3v sense.

AMD new motherboard standard
Posted by Unknown
AMD, which is based in California, unveiled the new open standard, called DTX, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
DTX will work with both AMD and rival Intel processors and will allow manufacturers of smaller motherboards to easily configure parts from different companies.
AMD hopes the move will reverse the declining market for desktop computers by producing products that appeal to consumers.
"Desktop purchases are on the decline as notebooks rise," AMD's Leslie Sobon told CBC News Online at the CES on Thursday.
We're thinking we should redefine what a desktop is," said Sobon, the director of product and brand management for AMD's desktop division.
"There's part of the market that wants a sleek look and feel but also wants the performance and upgradeability of a desktop."
And most desktops still have motherboards that operate using a standard laid out in 1995 by Intel called ATX, which stands for Advanced Technology Extended. ATX was designed to allow everything from memory cards to mouse ports to have a standardized spot alongside the central processing unit on a typical desktop motherboard.
While there have been other standards since, ATX remains the most common standard for desktops, though its design is not suited for smaller, more energy-efficient desktops, AMD said.
"The DTX standard will be designed to embrace energy-efficient processors from AMD or other hardware vendors, and allow an optimally designed small form factor system to consume less power and generate less noise," the company said in a release Thursday.
"When processor power consumption is reduced, system size and cooling costs can also go down. Energy efficient processors can also help extend the longevity of PCs, while offering consumer and business users a quiet, more pleasant experience in their offices or living rooms."
The company hopes a universal standard for smaller motherboards will get manufacturers interested in producing the different components for the machines.
"This works to the benefit of everybody," said Sobon.
Earlier this week AMD launched Better by Design, a platform brand designed to compete with Intel's Centrino brand.

Motherboard Installation
Posted by Unknown
Pop-out the pre-installed connector plate on the rear of the case and replace it with the one that came with your new motherboard.
Onto the motherboard. You need to determine where you're going to mount the board. As you can see, there are many locations to attach screws on this motherboard tray. The mounting locations coincide with screw holes on the motherboard.
First mount the standoff screws on the tray. These screws separate the motherboard from the metal casing. Sometimes these require special tools, so check ahead of time to make sure you have the right stuff.
Fasten the motherboard by starting in the center and then corners.

As a general guideline, make sure you have all your pieces ahead of time and don't force things into place if they don't want to go.
First, open your computer case. Some computers have a button or buttons that you press to open the box. Some have screws on the rear of the case which must be removed. I just need to remove the screws on the back of the case.
The new motherboard is going to be mounted onto the motherboard tray. Some computers have removable trays, but for our example we re going to use this embedded tray.

Microsoft says:
“An upgrade of the motherboard is considered to result in a “new personal computer” to which Microsoft® OEM operating system software cannot be transferred from another computer. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created and the license of new operating system software is required.”
The reason Microsoft gave for this term is that “Microsoft needed to have one base component “left standing” that would still define that original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the “heart and soul” of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created.”
Microsoft sent a memo to its OEM partners asking them to enforce this new policy, every time they upgrade a computer for a client.
