Good stuff. Why the AGP slot has this filling (?) on the left side ? Thanks! :) Indeed. That is just a safety tab to prevent the wrong insertion of non AGP PRO cards in the AGP PRO Slot. Usually there is a small yellow sticker over that area. "Remove Safety Tab when using AGP Pro Card" https://i. …

On MSI K7D Master-L there are some OC options as I just briefly powered it up to check the vitals. On the other true server boards I didn't check but I'm not holding my breath that there are such extras. :D I'll post at a later date if I find something in the OC department. I also got another dual …

I made a jig on which I put a voltage regulator heatsink, so that I could drill a hole in it and be able to fix with a nut and bolt the replacement part, without desoldering the heatsink. :D I'll give more details when and IF the VS440FX will be brought back to life. https://i.postimg.cc/kBpfMs15/ …

I have a couple more of the CT6950 cards and the others do not have that huge HS on that voltage regulator. This is the POST screen. It has 32MB and it is similar to the TNT2 M64 variant. It is detected as a CT6954 though. All of the three I have are CT6954. https://i.postimg.cc/3dGCQ8jT/CT6954-11. …

First try to experiment with shorter immersion times. :) You might get more with less.

Thanks for the info. The first time I cleaned the lenses I used such a gentle touch like you would not believe it. :) The cloth is super smooth and it was just marginally moist.
