I know of at least 4 ICs for these converters: Marvell 88SA8040, 88SA8052, JMicron JM20330 and SunplusIt SPIF223a. There are many noname chips that, according to forum posts, have questionable reliability. They are usually smaller than ones mentioned above, and converter with "bad" chip looks like …

Maybe your issue is caused by overclocking the FSB. 865PE's official maximum FSB frequency is 800 MHz, and Q6600/QX6700 use 1066 MHz. You can try to downclock to 200 (800) MHz. QX6700 has unlocked multiplier, so you can compensate frequency drop by increasing the ratio. CAS latency must be increased …

Does LiveWare 3.0 support 2nd generation of SB Live! (ct4760 and ct4830)? As far as I can see, driver inf file contains necessary records for these cards, but trying to install driver using installation program results in "card not found" message.

You can try to use modded BIOS for P3B-F (ver NOA) for correct CPU detection: http://www.rom.by/files/P3BF_Noa.BIN Do you have a readme or any additional info about this BIOS? No. Its difference from Asus's 1008 beta 004 is in added microcodes for Tualatin and corrected CPU name display - that's …

I don't think they tried to overclock the card by replacing the oscillator: these usually have frequency of 14.318mhz on any PC PCI/AGP card, so replacing it will likely cause bus incompatibility. Maybe the oscillator just have been moved away to allow mounting larger heatsinks?

What PSU model do you use? Dual sA boards have strange powering scheme. At least Asus A7M266-D and Tyan boards draw power for CPUs from both +5v and +12v rails. That means you need ATX12V PSU that is capable of high load on +5v. Latter PSUs have very weak +5v output.

Some PCI cards are known not to work due to absence of +3.3v rail on PCI slots. If using ATX power supply, this can be fixed easily.

My problem is not with motherboard but with Powerleap PL-iP3/T slocket. I don't think I could get another one for a reasonable price.
