-what i must do?
-the mods it's reversible? ...i'll get back the parts changed?
-have you detected "floating point" problems?
-what's the price?
-news from the 900mhz ?

thx
rob


being someone that has 2 @300 5200 boards idling, i'm quite interested in this

Octanes on the other hand, a 300mhz R12k can be gotten for about 400-500 (and this from resellers) so I don't know if the price and work involved would really end up saving you much...just on a time-basis (though I may be wrong here, if it IS just a few resistors to de-solder/re-solder and swapping out a chip that's under $200...)


yes, but think of the possibility of upgrading a dual processor r10k (maybe $60 on ebay) to a dual 300 or 360?

I have a 5k and 12k at work, I'll check tomorrow. I did read somewhere that there were versions of 5k cases that you could remove a screw or two on the bottom, take out the divider and put in a 10k motherboard. I wonder if you can just then use a 10k pci riser to give more space for cooling - or, can you use an 02 without the pci? I seem to remember reading it has to be there.

just checked the motherboards, the are very similar. j75 is missing on the 12k, but the holes are there - also there is a different oscillator, but the frequency is the same 50.000

you need to have at least a 200mhz r10k o2 to do the 300mhz chip swap.

it might have something to do with the cache chips or the clock.

there's pictures on the 600mhz thread for moving the resistors to get to 300mhz.
