  • Fake cache

The motherboard may include a non-functional or counterfeit SRAM cache, which can adversely affect performance. Signs of fake cache often include soldered DIP-chips and no jumpers to set the chache size. Cache functionality can usually be restored by installing proper chips, jumpers and a BIOS update/mod.

notes Notes

The jumper settings to set the amount of cache on the v1.x M919 motherboards turns out to be identical to the cache jumper settings for the PCChips M915i. The jumper banks are designated as JP9, then 10-13 on the M915i, which correspond to JP8 and then JP9A-D on the M919 v1.x.
