Bit of a random question for today, but does anybody know of or have a Jasper Forest compatible 1366 motherboard that may have the ability to do some slight FSB overclocking or simply just has a PLL that might be on the Set FSB list.
Got a few CPUs here I'd like to try out for size but can't find anything suitable anywhere. I understand the CPUs were not exactly designed for workstation PCs etc, but there has to be something out there that would work?

Funny you should say that. I have a couple Jasper's coming soon. I think Brad too. He pointed me to a thread about you melting sockets on boards with them. Now I'm kinda gun shy to try it. Don't wanna kill my P6T7 WS SC board.

Don't wanna kill my P6T7 WS SC board. Don't, it won't work. The Jasper's are wired differently and they have only a DMI and no QPI bus, they are essentially 1156 chips in a 1366 package. To add to that they're designed for SBC based systems so it's unlikely that there are any standard desktop style motherboards that are for these.  |

Thank you.
I will offload those as soon as I can.

Yeah that exact motherboard you linked there dragoon is one I had in mind currently. But as he said they don't work in standard 1366 boards as my Rampage III Black Edition found out the hard way. I also replaced another UK overclockers X58A-OC board after his suffered the same fate as mine  They moved some IO features to the CPU itself for Jasper, so it's closer to a 1156 Lynnfield CPU really than a 1366 Nehalem. For sure interesting parts though, I'm just convinced that the 1 core parts can beat a Sandy Bridge CPU in X264 bench with the right motherboard. |

Maybe it's time to come up with a 1156 (3420 chipset) to 1366 jasper adapter.  |

I had considered that too but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work since Jasper Forest still has QPI? If it can work that will be the ideal solution.

If it can work that will be the ideal solution. there are CPUs with that QPI disabled (the single socket ones). On x58 you can also run the dual QPI chips in normal consumer boards. QPI on Jasper forest is for CPU-CPU communication. |

Its basically a pcb that fits in the 1156 socket with another PCB and 1366 socket ontop. Will update you once (or if - there might be probably is stuff in the way we missed) it ends up working. |

Okay yeah please do I'm going to look deep into the socket tonight and see what I can find myself. I've already sent over all the datasheets I can find to my home PC so maybe I can help come up with something |
