The Jumpers

[araya]

Everybody knows that modern CPUs are either 1.325 or 1.750 V, except for those cheap 0.9375 V ones made in Bolivia. So it must be 1.325 volts.

[Ghost Post]

Yeah, but the puzzzle guy didn't know that. he figured out why the jumpers are in that configuration....damn smart.

I don't have the time to figure this out...

btw, araya, your a female right?

[Vanyo]

He needs 1.325/1.35 volts, and the VID1 jumper should be on pins 1 and 2, not 2 and 3.

Think binary.

[Vanyo]

More precisely, the voltage is V / V+0.025 volts, where V = 1.075+A+B+C+D, and
if VID1 jumper is on pins 1&2 A=0.05 , else if it's on pins 2&3 A=0.0
if VID2 jumper is on pins 1&2 B=0.10 , else if it's on pins 2&3 B=0.0
if VID3 jumper is on pins 1&2 C=0.20 , else if it's on pins 2&3 C=0.0
if VID4 jumper is on pins 1&2 D=0.40 , else if it's on pins 2&3 D=0.0

(also note typo on top left diagram)

I got the same answer araya got. [=

But I'm going to guess that araya doesn't know that much about CPU's (although he might).

I just think his answer was a joke.

The system is a binary number.

1.075 - 1.100 is binary 0000
1.125 - 1.150 is binary 0001
etc etc until you get to the two that look the same.

1.275 is okay, but the next one (1.325) is the same (and shouldn't be), it should be:

0101, not 0100 like 1.275 is.

Sorry Vanyo, I didn't even read your posts.

I don't see the typo though....

[Vanyo]

It looks like it says 1.625, but should be 1.825.

Could be fuzzy type, fuzzy scanning, or my eyes, or some combination.

[Demian]

I don't know anything about motherboards either but I think I found the solution.

Anyway, you think in the way of computer freaks.. try something in the likes of totaly not into computers. It's even luck that I found this site. But I like it already. So to me it was a puzzle, not very dificult but I liked it..
Now I'll go and try the other ones

[Basil]

Wow, I actually knew the answer to one of these. Now if I can just figure out how to solve those paragraph puzzles, I'll be all set!

------------------
I'm new here, so I don't have a cool sig yet.

[Krissie]

i think its 1.35volts since that's the only one with the wrong blocks, i don't know what those blocks are called, either way, right or left the blocks don't give the correct volts when added (those on the right have numbers assigned to it - 5, 10, 20 and 40 and from the left - it must be 5,10,0 and 20).

[ewan]

Wrong voltage setting? any L33t haxor knowz that you should set your proxsor v0ltagez to the max value posseeble on your m0th3rb04rd so you can ov3cl0ck your chip!!!!

[Ghost Post]

I agree with vanyo that vid1 should be on pins 1 + 2. I actually did think binary but i hadnt seen the discussion board.

[Wonko the Sane]

Wow, Ewan...that was just plain insulting.

[diggerdan]

This is my first visit to the sight and I'm glad I got the answer right too! I just felt dumb not having noticed two voltages had the same circuit set up before I figured out the .05/.1/.2/.4 key.

[Paradox]

Well, I was reccomended here by a friend, and this puzzle is the only one I've attempted... I don't know much about CPU jumper settings (okay, so nothing..), but based on a mirror pattern, the incorrect one (sixth from final) should probably be vid1 23 vid2 12 vid3 23 vid 4 12 or
.__.

inverse of the sixth from the top left most image... if that makes sense =)

[DarkTemple]

That's easy

Has to be 1.325/1.35 Volt, this is the only wrong pic.
Should be
VID1 on pins 2/3 (1.825/1.85 - 0.400)
VID2 on pins 1/2
VID3 on pins 2/3 (1.825/1.85 - 0.100)
VID4 on pins 1/2
=
1.325/1.35

If pin moves to right:
VID1 lowers the voltage with .400
VID2 lowers the voltage with .200
VID3 lowers the voltage with .100
VID4 lowers the voltage with .050

[Ghost Post]

NONSENSE!That´s all FALSE!!
Here is the CORRECT ANSWER:The voltage needed is 1.325/1.35 Volts and the jumper-positions are:VID4 1,4
VID3 3,4
VID2 1,4
VID1 3,4
