At least the cooler turned out fine! Not a total loss ha ha Yep. :D I wanted a copper VF700 for some time and I got it the end. :D Someone put a great cooler on it but left on that bloody die shim! Even with the shim the contact is pretty good. :D I'm pretty sure that back in the day I would've …

Status Quo - In The Army Now ATI Radeon 9800 PRO or should I say Zalman VF700-Cu (I wonder ...) Another ATI 9800 PRO 128MB another deception . Truth be told I wasn't without blame . No, this card didn't die because of me it's just that I did mistake after mistake worse than a beginner. Looking back …

I've also had nothing but hell with Radeon cards. They're either dead or I have software issues. Sad but true. A few years ago I found a mint ATI 8500 AIW and to my surprise it was showing artifacts like crazy. I found way more damaged cards that were still alive and kicking. Luck of the draw I …

No problem :). Actually There are two flea markets in Brasov. One run by a private owner with an entry fee of 0.5 EUR and one ran by the local authorities with a free entry. The sellers are there usually between 08.00-14.00 each Saturday and Sunday. :D I don't guarantee any loot drops though! :D The …

I try to do my best. :) Thanks for the kind words. Before the pandemic we used to get stuff from Italy and Germany on a regular basis. So much that I was very selective with I bought. Stuff from 20-25 years ago. Another source was UK. You would find warranty stickers and data on HDDs so you knew …

Biscuits On 25.01.2020 I was, where else, at the flea market in my home town. A new year usually means new challenges and new parts that enter my collection. It was a sunny but very cold day. I remember the cold piercing through my clothes and biting my hands while I searched through a pile of …

Thanks for the info. :) I'll keep that in my mind. :) I dont' plan to use or OC the card but who knows maybe I'll need more juice out of it at some point. I always check you threads too. They have a wealth of details. I learned many things from your posts. :) The power of Internet. :D Who knows …

Thanks guys! 😁 I try to do my best and also share my adventures. 😀 The thing is that I really liked this card and I really wanted to do it right. After 5 years of restoring stuff I can say that I have a big bag of tricks when it comes to difficult cases. 😀

Analysis - Climax FX! fx? YEAH DUDE!!! ... is it a 3dfx? HECK NO! Good Ol' NV30 . After the FX 3000 foreplay, a Geforce FX 5800 was obviously in order. As The FX 5800 Ultra cards sell for stupid money and I am at least 15 years late to the party, the odds of me finding a NV30 weren't all that great …

Thanks buff. At first I didn't know how to clean my stuff but as I started to restore more and more parts, I got better at it. It all depends of how far you want to go and what you think that the concept of clean is. For some clean means just a dust off, for others it is an entirely different matter …
