The card is actually works. I took the second, functional ti500 which I hadn't used for a long time. Surprise - the same symptoms, the same hang, after the same time. I connected the reballed GPU to the computer on which I used working ti500 in the past. Everything works fine It remains to be …

endor is creative. After reflow there is no visible signs of high temperature. Even the sticker on the bottom is still white and has not burned. GF3 is 2001, 100% lead solder. service-man confirmed this because he used a solder profile for leaded solder. n my opinion, if the GPU needs a non-factory …

Before reflow: Artifacts in BIOS after boot, hangs while loading system. I wanted to reball it, but the service-man convinced me that it was not worth it and that he would do a reflow. Infrared machine. The gpu was dried before reflow to prevent it from cracking due to evaporating moisture. …

here is progress. I checked all the ram sticks I have - none of them are rated at 133/C2. I randomly started checking all the sticks one by one and the mobo started. Then, out of curiosity, I reconnected the PQI ram that I had been using all the time - the board also started. Something must have …

My primary 440BX board won't run stable above 127MHz FSB. At some point in the future, I intend to modify the resistor array to juice the VIO regulator to 3.45V to see if that does the trick, but that's more of a curiosity. Capacitors are very unlikely to be the barrier. Vcore is ok, i guess. I`m …

Ok, so the ram that worked on i815 with fsb higher than 133 does not work on 440bx even with fsb133. I did not expect that. I tested the Ram on KT133, with a 4/3 divider, so I thought that 133 was certain. I will check out more frame sticks. I'm currently testing my PQI cube on my 440bx - rated at …

I will start playing further only when I get the right xeon. After a long search, it seems that I will not find a matching retention bracket, no board has such a mounting. I'll have to create something. In the meantime - does anyone know what board/graphics card this heatsink was mounted on? I …

Dual processor systems have always been outside of my scope of interest, so I didn't know much about xeon slot II processors. However, this mobo allows for a close comparison of xeon vs pentium processors in games under Win98, and theoretically creating a period-correct system that will outperform …

Apart from retroweb, I did not find any confirmation that the ATC-6400 is the same board. The manual does not say anything about the JP11 connector and says that the board only supports Pentium II. The board correctly recognizes the Pentium III Katmai 550. The Coppermine on modded PPGA adapter also …

There is an article on anandtech that describes how to lower the default processor multiplier with a pencil. Some of you have probably heard that this was done to bypass a bug where the mobo did not want to use a lower multiplier during first boot. If you just wanted to lower the multiplier, it was …
