You need to be really sure your CPU can do 50Mhz first.. like REALLY sure.bartekmalysz wrote: Sun Jul 05, 2020 11:49 pmWhy? CDTV context?terriblefire wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2020 12:04 am Who builds a TF board and solders the CPU down! Thats insane.

Exactly Steve, that`s why I have a 030 Test rig setup so I can quickly test batches of cpus , weed out the non runners and then fully stress test the ones that passed, only a mug will solder an untested cpu onto a boardterriblefire wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2020 12:19 amYou need to be really sure your CPU can do 50Mhz first.. like REALLY sure.
I was searching for ages for a zif socket and found this eventually on Ebay , think it was about £40, they are hard to find I was just lucky
yeah 4-6 hours hours is fine but many a time I will run for over 8 to make sure as I have spare dedicated test CD32 for nothing else but testingPhilC wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2020 9:27 am @supaduper not surprised, nice addition though.
How long are you guys stress testing your cpus? My builds get around 5 to 6 hours in total.
