Usually these motherboards are destroyed so they don't end up in the public's hands. Motherboard rarity
Intel dont want you to reverse engineer 10 year old hardware
Nice to see someone else with one of these boards. I have the older Emerald Lake (1) myself, It seems pretty much identical to your Ivy version but of course with the older 6 series platform. If you want I have the UEFI source code, possibly some manuals, and I also have info on the accessories around it.
interesting, maybe your board is from same team

I have an Intel Larrabee Knights Ferry working ES. If you are interested on buying it make me an offer. Salutations
este men es el amo de lo retro no deja de sorprenderme
I own many geforce prototypes myself, including the 17th and 47th GTX280 ever produced. They are my favorite types of cards to collect. I find it very odd that the chip on your new card is marked B2 as it should be if its a GTS250, but GPUz picks it up as a 65nm A2 revision, when B silicon should be 55nm....
For SATA drives hanging on post... PCH has chipped-off corner. Idk you did it (highly unlikely from your long experience with hardware) or it was damaged in transport or storage.
I'm from Taiwan and I like u video somuch
Very neat stuff 👌
I never sow a board like this from intel so many options in the bios.
Always nice to get Prototypes/ Engineering Samples to run. Especially with load on it. Never got that lucky with my ES GPUs
That motherboard would be good for GPU mining barbarism
Maybe you should plug in the power supply to the motherboard, in the power socket marked "SATA PWR II".
Someone should try and copy the microcode of this bios (or how ever you call it), it might have a potential unlocking features in these processors.
this is extacly what they saw in roswell 1947
If you could get that board to work it would be fun to do some overclocking with an unlocked mobile core I7 since you can use more standard cooling solutions. I bet you could get some real speed out of that good mobile silicon with a good cooler!
Its truly amazing how do you acquire all of this hardware.
ebay has a prototype gtx 460 for 50 dollars if you want to start there.
wow , that motherboard have quite a lot component
i have som of those development boards for intel mobile cpus
its a jumper setting if all else fails use a pcie raid card
uhm, maybe you could try with a PCIe SATA controller?
You were faster to recommend that. :D
@@RuruFIN 😜
This is second way if all will fail with onboard SATA stuff. Theres plenty of settings and jumpers to try.
Hey retro I have something I bet you haven't tried yet. The virtual lid button! Try switching positions and seeing if that makes it not go into sleep. Also look for any jumpers on the board maybe you can find a datasheet???
I tried these buttons. You can see lot of SATA inputs, all kinds all over the board. Lot of unknown jumpers around, lot of settings in BIOS ... need to test all possible
@@RETROHardware How about that power connection behind the sata port you have the ssd in? Maybe that needs to be hooked up.
@@robertdutcher8081 It has PWR SATA marking ... but who knows value of voltage :-) Maybe more power for external SATA devices.
@@RETROHardware maybe hit it with a multimeter and see what it's doing? Maybe it's for internal PCIe bus or something never know with prototype boards
You must update the bios
Not even boot from USB? Can be weird some bios boot setting, or mobo modified to prevent boot.
or use pcie to sata adapter
hei you should contact linus tech, because he had intel prototype gpu card, maybe the vga card works with this mobo
How do they make these boards? Since they're pretty much one of one, do they have to have someone hand-solder everything to the board?
just some thoughts on that Indel dev-board
the company I'm working for still has a product based on that platform
we have/had massive problems with RAM timings and finding compatible RAMs for that system
we also never use both RAM slots! our system has two but as soon as you have two modules in it the problems begin
we also use only DDR3L (there is a setting in your bios!)
there have also been problems with SSDs from different makes that caused random freezes and stuff
it had to do with some c-states and stuff but I don't know much details on how this was/is solved as I'm just running the end-of-line tests
maybe this helps you a little to figure out how to get this thing to boot!
I also have an older dev-kit sitting around in a Plexmaster G2 case and I'm starting to think that I might wan't to get rid of it. Here is a very old video: ua-cam.com/video/iL32G1u7oZw/v-deo.html
thanks for info
nice
Try a controller on the board?
The motherboard feels like an E-ATX form factor due to the extension near the RAM region.
Probably bypass capacitors. It sure is more unstable but on normal load it didn't happen to affect that much. I think those prototypes are over engineered and you can get rid of some components without loosing perforemance, look at all the caps that are in the intel protoboard
I could be wrong but I recall Cougar point had issues with SATA 6 from day one, it's possible that trying a SATA 2 device might behave better?
then use a normal sata hdd and use jumper to use only sata 1.5 or 3
where is the games ?
para mineria sirve?
That motherboard may have early firmware without proper CSM (BIOS emulation) support, so it won't boot from BIOS-style boot media. Maybe the CPU itself doesn't have a functional 16-bit mode, since it's so early.
Try with UEFI-bootable media. Use the Shell to boot if UEFI boot options don't show up in the normal boot menu.
This is good point, will try this way too.
Мда уж, начиналось видео с Intel (Ivy Bridge) и как показывали 2 ядра, 4 потока частотой 1500мгц, (думал какойто экспериментальный проц с материнкой), а закончилось все тем что это Amd Fx-6300 ....Hmm, the video started with Intel (Ivy Bridge) and as they showed 2 cores, 4 streams with a frequency of 1500 MHz, (I thought some kind of experimental percent with a motherboard), but it all ended with the fact that it was Amd Fx-6300 ...
I'd try a PCIe SATA controller if it can bypass the SATA problems?
man i want one whats the exavt model of it?
Oh nice! A Geforce 8800GTS 512mb
Wait!!
I guess,the board is for some kind of embedded device ????
Did you try turning off all advanced features in bios which may prevent boot such as hibernation etc?
I tried xxx things but not all yet :-) Need time and thinking about what to do next.
do you know what was that motherboard primary usage? bios development?
debugging of hardware. Probably for developing laptops.
wow so many bios settings, its a shame its faulty, you could probably overclock the snot out of it with LN2
It is not faulty (maybe) ... now I can’t boot with any device, this is problem to solve.
@@RETROHardware does that extra 8 pin near your ssd do anything when powered? Maybe
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 it seems...
lol! this relics one day will be worth more than bitcoin
I thought retro was like Commodore 64 and Amigas x
Time flies... the emerald lake board is 10 years old by now, most of the stuff RETRO HARDWARE does with 3DFX is 20 years old, other builds around 15. I'd consider that pretty retro taking into account the fact that technology has progressed so fast over the years.
are you czech si čech
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250, G92-428-B1
I'm wondering why it was showing up as an amd fx
He was testing the GPU on a different motherboard.
How come the card still worked despite having some components chipped off ...?
Simply put, not all components of a circuit are essential for minimal or baseline operation.
But they may cause things to behave in less than ideal ways.
imo nv cards of this era are trash round the 50 below mark, would be better paired with an AMD HD 6770 and would probably be around the same price and about 50% faster too. I could play Fallout 4 on low/med w/an i3
Got a 9800 gtx+ sitting around which is pretty much the gtx 250 before they optimized the power on it so it didn't require two 6 pin pci-e plugs, ran borderlands 2 at 1366x768 fine with medium settings in my dads pc at the time when the hd 5750 in his pc died.
The gts 250 was pretty much competing against ATI's HD 4850 & HD 4870 before ATI released the HD 4890 which went up against the gtx 285 i believe.
Before the hd 5000 series came out at the end of 2009, bought a HD 5770 back then in 2010, still works fine other then the displayport, might be the cable i got though, was at some point damaged by junk bending the plug.
fake gpu's
