I bought it from a private ebay seller. It only cost me £6 so not the end of the world. I've just dropped him a e-mail, just after a little more information to why the board was new and never used and if he has any experience with them e.t.c.

No I don't have one of those :depressed: I'll try and strip the whole thing out this weekend, but don't hold out much hope. Does anyone know when LED1 (On the rear of the board) comes on? All it does it flicker for me when the PSU is switched on. Its a shame as when it was running it was rock solid, …

I remember trying to cool my Athlon Thunderbird overclock, 1Ghz to 1.4Ghz. I ran a Thermalright cooler with a Delta fan on it... It was loud! What cooler do you have on it? As said above the temps look OK, they do run hotter than the P3s. Do you have a rear case fan pulling out the hot air. Rear …

I've ordered some more memory today, different brand... 1GB 2X 512MB Infineon HYS72V64300GR-7.5-C2 PC133 133MHZ CL3 ECC SERVER RAM Since I've tested the processors on their own, I can't see me having two dead processors. So its either RAM (Fingers crossed) or motherboard.

My understanding was that the DIMM sockets need to be populated with pairs of Registered ECC ram. I've tried with 1 stick, then the other still the same. Yes, swapped out the CPUs and tried them on their own. Also reset the CMOS. Still the same :blah: Edit - Just tried without any RAM and no beeps, …

Yes, I have the full PSU connection and the +12v (4 Pin connector) which sits at the top. I've just removed the second processor and placed the blank in, still the same. No beeps or nothing.

Yeah, I'll monitor the PSU. Since I swapped over to the Seasonic I didn't have any issues starting up. I've not considered any PCI-X cards, what are they like? I did a quick search on ebay which returned very few all of which were over £100, ebay seems to just pull through PCI-E 16x items. Any …

Great build. I bet Windows XP flys. I remember it running very well when I had a single 2800 Barton. Nice work on such a shallow case. I've worked on a couple of these cases before and they are very tight! Esp on the kit you have in there.

On the board labeled refers to JP1 as enable/disable O/B Sound. I could only find JPX1 which made no difference. Looking into it further the JP location was not …
