Thermal pads stuck on heatsink
Posted on 2023-02-13, 14:53
Hello everyone, I have come into possession of some old coolers, still in very good condition. The problem is that they came attached with on it their old thermal pads, which have become very hard to remove. Hard as concrete, no joke. If I use hard tools I would ruin the surface with scratches and …

Glad to see my ex card on good hands. Unfortunately i had no tools, no skill and no patience for these kind of stuff. About the hot heatsink it's normal.....the factory heatsink it is a joke....what they were thinking ?? They should have implemented a bigger one or at least fan on it. Better not …

Audigy 2 has the same compatibility quirks as the SBLive! with DOS software. Aureal Vortex 2 is better on this regard, but the FM synth emulation is crappy. If Windows games aren't a big priority, going with a Yamaha PCI sound card would be your best shot. Overall, I rather would prefer going with …

Well, unfortunately i have some games with build-based engine planned to play........ i think it's better to replace this SB Live! with something with more stable drivers, i didn't know there were so much different revisions and drivers back in the days. Why they did such a mess ?? Anyway what's …

Hello. By default, it will install the WDM driver in Windows 98 and there isn't an option to change it to VxD on a normal installation. Phil's has a guide to ensure that the VxD drivers are installed on the following video (he explains it much better): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-HiLp5p820&t= …

Hello, i'm bashing my head since this morning to how install the recommended VxD drivers on Windows 98 SE, since i have some little crackling noises on some games ( like Blood.....etc ). No problems on Direct3D Windows based games so far. I downloaded this iso: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile. …

I installed these drivers ( which are not natively made for v3 3500 but are for the v3 3000 ) and kinda messed up the operating system. Windows 98 freezes right after the boot completation, with the wallpaper loaded and the mouse pointer only. It only boots on Safe mode, so i uninstalled the drivers …

Hello i join the discussion because i just got a V3 3500 paired with a P2 450Mhz, i just do 1600 points at 3DMark2000. Then i tried a TNT2 Ultra and what i got it's more or less 2000 points.

i would start by inspecting for bent/shorted pins, missing surface mount components, broken solder joints, etc. generally these things just dont 'die' Well, but that is what happened! The video card was working fine, then i took it off from the motherboard. ( Didn't try under benchmarks ) I would …
