any Socket P MotD mobo's out yet?

No Firewire
I couldn't discover any gm45 boards with 1394 Firewire... I am wrong?
MSI Speedster GM45 µATX. Seems like the usual S478 mounting holes.
The Speedster motherboards are made for server and workstation use, that's why this model have three LAN ports and only one VGA port, no HDMI or DVI.
I wonder if anyone wants these kind of motherboards anymore since the desktop CPU's use very little power and costs less.
The best combination would be an E7200 together with a GM45 chipset.
Desktop CPU with a mobile chipset, that is.

The mini-ITX boards from MSI have usually lower prices than models from less known manufacturers. IPOX (Foxconn) have good prices too.
The IM-GM45 cost €240 in Germany though, dunno if that's the lowest price. By the way, that store have lots of models, but I think they have high prices in general.

Hallo!
i mean the mobo with Gm45 like dfi ca230-bf or Msi Gm45 support older cpu with 667-800 and high 1066 fsb.
See the links:

But Gm45 chipset are only in mini-itx mb doesn't?Mats wrote: I wonder if anyone wants these kind of motherboards anymore since the desktop CPU's use very little power and costs less.

I reopen this thread to ask that:
is a socket m 479 cooler compatible with socket p?
I mean something like this:

Thank you

I made the mistake of buying the MSI MS-9803 "Fuzzy" GME965 board and sure enough, it doesn't support any of the mobile processor power saving features. It was running full throttle all the time sucking power and generating heat. Darn MSI BIOS - it had no options to implement those features.
I want a low powered MoTD box with dual Intel NIC's for a firewall and the Gigabyte GA-6KIEH-RH is the only other alternative. According to the PDF manual, it appears that it supports the various power states. I don't know if it also lowers voltage though. Can anyone confirm?

Same problem with that board. No Speedstep at all using Linux so its running full blast with a T7250. MSI basically said they don't care when responding to my support tickets. Debating replacing this with an E3300 Celeron since I also blew out my USB portsvalnar wrote:I made the mistake of buying the MSI MS-9803 "Fuzzy" GME965 board and sure enough, it doesn't support any of the mobile processor power saving features.

Right. I'm aware of the MSI issue, but did you confirm it with the Gigabyte?bigdoofus wrote: Same problem with that board. No Speedstep at all using Linux so its running full blast with a T7250.

I did ask them but I never got a clear response back. I just didn't feel like spending another $200 on another board that I was unsure about.valnar wrote:Right.

Note: I'm using Linux so my question was Linux specific. Windows support may be better due to RMClock
I just returned the MSI board so the BIOS screens are fresh in my mind. They didn't have anything as you know. But the manual I linked above for the Gigabyte looks promising. Like you though, I'd need to take a chance.bigdoofus wrote: I did ask them but I never got a clear response back.

The payoff is a firewall server that is more powerful than any Atom or VIA Nano I could buy, while using about the same power. It just costs more to get it, which I'm okay with.
Just an update. I'm switching my server from a SATA HDD to SSD and in the process I tested Windows 2008 R2 (for TRIM support and Hyper-V). and I can confirm that RMClock does work, even with the MSI board. Right now i'm doing a Prime95 at 1.1250V on a T7500 @ 2.2Ghz.valnar wrote:I just returned the MSI board so the BIOS screens are fresh in my mind. They didn't have anything as you know.

Just fund this thread, and wanted to share my considerations for a socket P modt.
I have ordered a DFI-ACP CA331-NR http://tw.dfi-acp.com/Product/xx_produc ... _TYPE=null
Plan on fitting it with a P9700
Only drawbacks as I can see is missing HDMI and missing S/PDIF bracket (have ordered a bracket elsewhere).
My current modt is an MSI Speedstar A4R, with a T7600, running win7 which has been rock solid so far.

Glad to see that this thread got going again!
I'm just about to design a new low power system, and will most likely use a Socket P penryn CPU.
What is the power consumption of a MoDT system compared to a similar laptop? My W500 usually draws less than 20W, which is including screen. If I move the same T9400 CPU to a montevina motherboard (thinking about the Jetway NF-93) what kind of Idle power can I expect?

I'm interested in what everyones using cooling wise? i've got a Commel LV-679 with a T7500 onboard, with the stock cooler that came with the board, and even with RMClock running with the voltages lowered to stable levels it's still running hot. And my hunt for any coolers in the same fitment has been fruitless.
I don't know about the particular board, but with a tall enough case, I've used this cooler in two Mini-ITX builds with Penryns:loaky wrote:I'm interested in what everyones using cooling wise? i've got a Commel LV-679 with a T7500 onboard, with the stock cooler that came with the board, and even with RMClock running with the voltages lowered to stable levels it's still running hot.

You can just use a quiet 80mm fan like a Real Silent. It's pretty flexible regarding the exact spacing on the holes.
Wow that was quick, you're a gent. that does look like it'd be great, just have to do a bit of measuring. There's a few UK places that stock it too. Just a case of working out the mountings too.
EDIT: I assume we are talking about having it as a CPU cooler? and not a chipset cooler, it's designed job.

This is where I bought it: www.rosch-computer.desgksgk wrote:So where to buy a DFI CA331 board? I only found places that list them buy dont sell them
But they only sell B2B, so you need a VAT number.
But I think the jetway board looks just as good + it's cheaper.
The DFI board is btw working like a charm. Drawback is the proprietary heatsink holes so I am using a nothbridge heatsink from thermalright. But it is big enough for this CPU.
Adding that I am using the Winmate 130W PSU and a 120 brick, I am cooling the whole system with a single 120mm nexus, which is usually runnning at lowest speed. Nice and quiet
Maybe I should upload a picture ...
