Your CPU Ram will have a higher Priority than your Mobo Ram. Fit some into the Mobo & run SysInfo Memory query. You should see the PPC Ram having a Higher priority than the Mobo ram. I guess you already know to use SIMM slots 1 & 3 with just 2 x sticks. ;)

Thanks.
I came to that conclusion because AIBB was faster on memory tests if there was no onboard ram... I can't repeat and post the same test, because AIBB is refusing to work now when 060 is installed. I'll try AAA.

Yeah, both SysInfo & AIBB have their own issues under 060's. There is a patch or module thingy for AIBB & you'll need to trawl Aminet for a solution.

Which kickstart version are you using?

Sysinfo is giving 30208.2???????????????

LOL. It should have given 45.57

I'd like to conclude this post…

As you remember, I've started with this:

http://web.vip.hr/nevens.vip/2.jpg

Amiga case and a board left in a garbage.

I've restored it with a little help from my friends.(Amibay and local)

http://web.vip.hr/nevens.vip/71.JPG
Complemented the configuration with CyberStorm PPC and Cybervision PPC...

Left some room for Indivision AGA MK2. (Waiting is killing us J.S.)

But gained a beautiful shiny Amiga 4000!!! :thumbsup:

And oh yes... the credits…

Now I can change my avatar, because it's not how my Amiga looks any more. :D

And you sir deserve :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
for an outstanding restoration.

@Elerion,
You've end-up with very nice system. Congratulations!
I just want to suggest you to put fan over Permedia2 chip as well; this chip gets hotter than 060. ;)

Thank you Stachu and easypreacher.

I've ordered a batch of passive copper coolers from China. From the experience it will take about 30-40 days for them to arrive, but when they do, I'm going to put them on every chip generating any heat.
Overall system runs surprisingly cool, but additional heat dissipation will certainly prolong the life of its chips. Especially Permedia and CS logic chips, that currently run the hottest.

I'm surprised that 68060 is running very cool. I've put a little fan over it's heatsink, but passive cooling would suffice. On the other hand, PPC is cooking even when idle.

Beautiful machine sir, excellent work.

Your work has inspired me to press on with my A4000 rebuild.
