I continue the tests of the MB, and I must say that everything is fine, I did a check to see the voltages of the 600W Coolergiant, all within the maximum permissible voltages, they are slightly higher than a few tenths all the positive lines, but within the tolerable values. Definitely interesting, …

This morning I got these two memory cards, the price was low, in proportion that of the 32 GB 🇬🇧 it was very convenient, the idea is to replace two other uSD memory cards of the same capacity, and reuse the uSD ones on an uSD-adapter CF, which will go into an IDE-CF adapter, at least until I have an …

I hope by tonight, to be able to start and configure the ABIT IP35, I have some houses 🏘 that are suitable, no side windows though, the idea is to use the Centurion, then later you can change your mind, but the important thing now is to try the board, and above all that it works. Having the original …

Just finished the update of Siemens RAM with P3 933, now with a second 256 MB single-face module, I have 512 MB total, which would be the maximum for that chipset, then in fact I don't know if using two 512 MB modules you can also reach 1024 MB (1 GB), honestly it would not be bad at all, such a …

The motherboard now, is ready for further additions, first I will add the sound card (PCI), a model of the techsolo, with 6 channel sounds, the audio quality may not be the best, but thinking about it, I just noticed that there is a built-in sound chip, so in reality the card is not necessary, …

A little while ago I made the change of VGA, not because the RAGE XL PCI has problems, indeed it's fine (at least for the boot tests), I inserted in the AGP slot the card that came together with the MB, I still don't understand what model it is, but it has 32 MB of RAM, to complete the PC I'm …

I bought years ago, the P3S 1400 from that seller, it cost less than now, but still more than an unmodified CPU, it works, it works, but only on the motherboards in the list, in my case on an Acorp i815, it doesn't work, while on an ABIT SA6 and on ASUS CUSI-FX it works very well, indeed perhaps …

Today I tested a motherboard, a Siemens D1217 with P3 933, the card arrived together with the VGA AGP and the sound card, the shield was also included in the lot, I was sure that it worked, because the seller had put a photo of the BIOS, for the first boot on the bench, I didn't use the VGA AGP, but …

Other benches with the P3 933 Siemens D1217, using DOS and the CF memory card, I continued by starting others, some I don't photograph them, because they give simple info, so nothing you can't see, others instead are not suitable for this PC, the scores are out of scale, so it is not possible to …

Regarding laptops, right now I don't have time ⏱ to disassemble them, and see if there is anything strange or suspicious inside.

HI, I saw that you are working with an S.7 motherboard, and that at the moment the card only displays -- --, this could be useful, but the post card provides other info, which you omitted, you have to look at the voltage LEDs, if they are on or off, and the other LEDs can turn on or off (or flash), …
