I don'like the looks of that cap but maybe is from the way the picture was taken. Also remove everything, but the cpu (video/ram/sound card) , connect a test card or if don't have one a pc speaker , clear cmos and power it on.

Use a digital caliper or some tool to give me the length and the width from one around it , and i'll give you a link.

Probably some of the hardware resources/bus used are shared by the onboard ram and some part of/one of the ram slots. Can you disable the onboard ram? Have you tried to put only the 8mb simm alone and test it in each slot with the onboard ram?

1 - clear the pads with solder wick , that is a missing cap used for the soft start func of the buck converter controller ( 0.1uf) , get it from a dead board . 4 - use solder wick to clean the pads 2 - remove the second purple cap , use solder wick to clean the pads , check for short again. If is …

Post a high res pic with the area selected (front and back).

The formula for the voltages in both cases is: V = 0.8*(1+Rx/Ry).

I don't know about the FX5900XT, but my FX5900 Ultra does not display anything without the molex connector plugged in.

By the looks of it, those 2 purple caps are on the 12V input for the vrm from the molex connector . If you have a good PSU and the video card is fine, it should boot/work without both of them. Use a multimeter and check for continuity between(without system power) the yellow molex wire (12V) and the …

So you replaced the original slow DDR chips with faster ones, but still DDR (1). If that is true, then somebody lied when they marketed their product …

The Asus card had HY5DU561622ETP-4 ic's, they are gddr2 500 Mhz(250mhz effective), divide that by 2 (same as the speed of the ddr2 ram in CPU-Z is divided) and you get the actual frequency. What you see in the GPU-Z memory speed tab has to be multiplied by 2 to get the 'commercial speed', so i got …

The agp Quadro NVS 280 is low profile and has a 128bit bus, the Quadro NVS 280 SD has a 64bit bus. Both have 64Mb, so you can look for a AGP Quadro NVS 280.

A low profile Nvidia FX5200 is usually the 64bit variant. I've seen 64bit versions also with full height, you can tell from the way that the traces are cramped together on half of the PCB and the other half is plain ground lane.

Seem's that a normal Nvidia FX5200 can use DDR2 VRAM without an issue. Still working on the memory layout , the ic's that i put are 16X16 (256Mb) but the card uses them in a 8X16 (128Mb) config.

Hi , many socket A motherboards with an isa slot (kt133) don't have a multi selector or fsb selector . Here is a pic with a hard modded Palomino 10.5 x 133 and how to get a 14x multi from it . Don't go to deep with the cuts , they are on the surface , do it gradually and use a multi/ohmmeter to …

Work's very good on a VT82C686A kt133 motherboard but only after : Long story short , i got the motherboard , it has an ISA slot but i also knew about SB compatibility feature from the bios . I activated it , set the blaster environment in autoexec and nothing else (no via.com and nothing in cfg.sys …
