FoxConn G33 Equivalent?
Got this very nice case from a trashed Dell Inspiron 530.
Mobo appears tb out to lunch. FoxConn G33m02 as in http://tinyurl.com/3tvqe4r Socket 775/SouthBridge Intel ICH9, 4 slots. Does anybody know of a GigaByte board that would: - Accept the CPU from the FoxConn - Fit in the same case Tangentially, is there term-of-art for the board I'm looking for? Knowing nothing else, I'd say "ATX, 4 slots, Socket 775".... -- PeteCresswell |

The board is Micro ATX. Identify the Intel CPU that it's using to make
sure that the replacement motherboard can use it. http://www.ehow.com/list_7515591_fox...fications.html On Tue, 17 May 2011 13:04:30 -0400, "(PeteCresswell)" wrote: Got this very nice case from a trashed Dell Inspiron 530.

Per Andy:

"Micro ATX" was the magic word I was searching for. The CPU's ancestry seems tb in question (viz http://tinyurl.com/3v8xtr4), it looks like I'll have to buy a new heat sink too, and also it's not impossible that a defective CPU was part of the problem this box was trashed. In that context - and I think I'll just suck it up and buy a new CPU along with the board. -- PeteCresswell |

You can carefully wipe the first bit with a paper towel or Kleenex. Then, take another cloth and put a bit of isopropyl alcohol on it, and clean up the residue. Isopropyl is not the correct solvent, but it won't hurt anything you splash it on. There are much stronger solvents, but they can damage electronics you splash them on. If you want real chemicals for cleanup, you can get a two bottle kit like this. At least one of these bottles, contains the right solvent. Isopropyl is just a liquid to push the stuff around with. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835100010 Some pre-applied materials are phase change, and are a solid at room temperature. I've had at least one computer, where I had to scrape the damn stuff off (which isn't really a good way to do it), because I couldn't get it off otherwise. Isopropyl didn't help me that day. In any case, the objective is to look underneath. This is a picture of one way to mark a processor. In the center, you can see the SSPEC code of "SL7PU". http://cdn.cpu-world.com/Images/uplo...L_00001509.jpg Don't give up yet :-) Paul |

Per (PeteCresswell): Anybody got a take on how ancient/recent this one is? Given that it is discontinued... http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLA9X.html Given that it is Core 2 and LGA775, anything shipping new today should work with it. You might, with some bad luck, be able to buy a used LGA775 motherboard from Ebay which didn't support it, but anything you can find for sale today would likely be OK. Go to Newegg, select motherboards, Intel, LGA775, microATX, then list the search result by price or by rating. If you select the one which is slightly over $100, that will be a full sized 9.6" x 9.6" motherboard. A $50 board will only have room for two DIMMs, and be 9.6" x 7.0". Select one with the onboard peripherals and I/O plate connectors you want. Then, visit the motherboard maker site, and check the CPUSupport chart for that motherboard. The E6550 is FSB1333, and a really ancient motherboard (like my Asrock 4Core board with FSB1066 limitation), would not be a good match. But anything produced half way through the span of LGA775 products, should support FSB1333. Available microATX LGA775 motherboards today, will either use DDR2 or DDR3 RAM (but not both), so take care to match the RAM type, or be prepared to spend another $50 on new RAM. Since you're fitting the motherboard to a strange case, it's up to you to do a mechanical inspection, and see if placement of the CPU cooler on the new LGA775 socket location, conflicts with other mechanical structures inside the case. For example, a BTX computer case, would not be a good project case for an ATX motherboard, because the casing is "backwards". So use your skills to analyse it for fit, before buying it. You'll need some fresh paste when fitting the heatsink/fan to the new CPU, so that's something else you should purchase if you don't already have some. Paul |
