I doubt that it is a overclocked FX 5600 or perhaps even a FX 5600 Ultra. The RAM chips are identifying themselves as Samsung K4D551638D-TC40. According to their datasheet, these appear to be clocked at 250MHz, which is too slow for a Ultra card. The RAM speed for the FX 5600 however, seem to match …

I've now contacted the seller and asked him, whether the shown card is the advertised item and he said yes. I'll try my luck and buy this card as soon as possible and let myself surprise, what it is. This is quite a gamble. Perhaps i'm unlucky and it's just going to be a FX 5200. Whatever it is, …

I've summarized, which graphics card it could be and which not. I think we can exclude the GeForce 6 series, (with the exception of the Geforce 6200) since it appears, that the card is lacking a AGP bridge chip. We can also rule out any GeForce4 cards, since this card was manufactured in 2004. …

First of all, thank you for your help guys! I really appreciate it. I suppose, i'm gonna have to ask the seller, whether the shown item is the actual item that is being sold. I must admit, that i've become quite suspicious towards the item description. Perhaps it's best to not buy this card. In case …

Hi everyone I'm looking into buying this card: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Grafikkarte-APCB-M3-94V-0-Nvidia-HDMI-VGA-PCI-EXRESS/264876165749?hash=item3dabd98a75:g:XagAAOSw5K5fbNjf I assume, it's some sort of Nvidia Geforce based card, but the model is unclear to me. Therefore i'm asking, whether you …

Hi Thanks for your reply! I like your idea! It's absolutely brilliant. Right now i'm in a Internship, therefore, i'm probably not gonna write you the upcoming weekend. If nothing gets in my way, I will try it the next weekend after that.

Hello. I asked my parents and sadly they weren't pretty happy about it. Nonetheless, I sort of got their permission, as long as it's not too expensive. (However, I'm going to ask again, just to be sure) Therefore, I have some questions. First, how much do you want for the chips? (Let's assume that …

That's fantastic, but I beg for your understanding, that I first have to ask my parents for permission, whether such thing is possible, cause i'm not an adult yet. And I also have to check for more chips, that are faulty. I hope you don't mind. I have yet another concern. How should I deal with the …

Hi! I apologize for delay. I've been quite busy and hadn't got any time to reply to your messages. 1. Thanks Mkarcher. These are great news. Looks like, i'm gonna fix the cable soon. 2. Thanks for the picture Jo22. May I ask, wheter this is the chip, you've got amongst your spare parts?

Hi Jo22 Thanks for you reply. 1. Don't worry, I'm not planning on throwing it away. Throwing it away would be a waste of vintage hardware. 2. If you could find that chip, that would be awesome. However i'm very certain, that it's probably not the only chip, which got damaged. 3. I think the majority …

My puppy tried helping me to fix my 286. Well... let's put it that way. He yet has to learn, how to properly disconnect a cable. Jokes aside, I can't blame him. I have to admit, that leaving him in my room without supervision, was a pretty dumb idea. And I thought, it couldn't get any worse. Oh dear …

Yeah, you are absolutely right. Well, I guess the IO Board is bricked. But maybe I have better luck with the CPU board. Would it makes more sense to remeassure the IO- and CPU Board with a oscilloscope?

I also guess you put the black lead onto some kind of ground all the time, and probed the power supply and CPU board connectors with the red lead. It's true, I indeed did that. I'm going to provide more acurate docummentations next time, but this might take a while. Thanks for your help mkarcher. I …

Hello, I have sad news I did something incredibly stupid. I reseated the CPU board and forgot, that there was a crack in the rear of the connector. Due to the crack, the board slided too far backwards and therefore, every pin of the CPU board were touching the wrong pins of the IO Board. The result: …
