[Wiggo]

Well if its the same as mine then here. :)

[sparky11]

Different to mine, manual says ver3.1a
I didnt expect much for $98.00aus but this baby flies.
See attached FPI connector diagram

WOW! :eek:

That was bloody HUGE! Fixed now. :D

Yeah I have one of the early ones. ;)

But that doesn't make any sence. :confused:

[sparky11]

Was kind of large wasnt it!
I have seached all over the board but cannot see anywhere
to connect the LED suppose it just doesnt have one.
At least i dont feel stooopid ,thought i might have been missing something that was clear to everbody but me.

:cheers:

I'm sure that you'll be able to hear it when ya turn it on though. :D

I didnt expect much for .00aus but this baby flies.

you got it from IT-Rite i presume?

[sparky11]

You got it in one, is it-rite selling some kind of OEM board to the unsuspecting public?

:flames:

[Andy]

i don't know, but i am pretty sure that they are the only ppl in australia that sell the K7S5A for $98

[sparky11]

I figure he has bought a shipment of surplus stock from Mombassa or some other third world country where power LEDs
dont matter much. No complaints about the price though $218.00AUS for MB & XP1600 Palamino chip which O/Cs to 1900
ie FSB 150 and is real stable with no heat problems
Suppose i could connect a light globe to a spare power supply cable for that real Mombassa look


:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Found the right diagram if anyone else has the same prob
Still can not understand what the origional diagram is on about
See attached

The manual you got is the same one for download from ECS. I would guess it is a standard mobo. Just out of curiosity, where did you find the correct pic?

[Wiggo]

Well then if that's the case then it is still the same as mine. ;)

[sparky11]

Got it at Overclockers Australia forum


I searched ECS,s Tiawanese website but could not see that diagram anywhere but that site is a shambles

Is the same as yours Wiggo. Wish it had come with the same manual.

There may have been enough alts between the two versions to require a redo of the manual but they certainly stuffed up there. :(

I only ever used this board for one Athlon setup (PC No.3) and I'm glad of that as the dozen or so others that I used were Duron setups, I had to buy a PSU that cast as much as the board did at the time ($130aus) to get it to work at the rated speed. :eek:
