Do Socket370-to-Slot1 have a preformance hit?

[CompSci]

Have used various converters/adapters in the past and there was always some preformance degradation. How much of a hit does the Socket370-to Slot1 have?

No to the best of my knowlage there is no performance hit and if there is you will not notice it.

Shouldn't be any, it only routs the pins on the chip to the SECC2 connectors.

OK! good enough for me!

Am tired of Slot1 heat problems. Every slot1 I use needs the heat warning setting set up around/above 90C to stop the buzzzzzz, - even with dual fans.

Have a DFI T64-B Socket370 PIII 667 runnin at 750(150FSB * 5) and health status says it runs real cool - like 48C at 1.64 Volts - smooth and stable for over 6 months now. If all coppermine socket370's run that cool, that fast, I'm given up Slot1 altogether!!!

Do all the Socket370 newer coppermines(.018) run that cool?
That's unbelievable compared with PII's and early PIII and celerons! Really cool!!!

Am ordering socked370-to-Slot! for and Asus P3V4X...
Will let ya know how it runs...

temps in the 60's celcius don't seem cool. my old p3 450 only ran at 38C. and my athlon runs at 52C, which would worry some people already.

Sorry, spoke before I checked - Worked from memory cause its runnin so smooth and hadnt looked for a long time...

Went and just checked - am runnin at an unbelievable 49C - at 1.64volts. Also went back and edited my inacurate post...

Ya think a Coppermine( PIII or Celleron ) will run that cool in a s370-to-slot12 adapter?

A PIII chip will produce the same amount of heat regardless of the package type. It is the same chip. Some of them get stuck on FC-PGA mounts, and some of them get stuck on SECC2 mounts. You will notice a difference between different steppings, but a slot 1 PIII-800E cC0 will make the same amount of heat as a socket 370 PIII-800E cC0. You may be able to get better heatsinks for socket 370 chips - but I don't know for sure. I've never had heat problems on SECC2 packaged chips.
