BIOS fan speed control slowly became a feature during the S462/478 era. It is possible this board does not have this feature and always has its fans runnin at max speed. Maybe there's some tool to calibrate fan speeds once booted into OS?

True. Better get a larger cooler with more surface that can also mount a larger fan. Have that fan spin at low RPM and you should be good.

"Pure" on those old Asus cards means VGA out only, no 3D glasses, not TV in/out.

The most important thing is to get that barrel battery out of there asap and if it has leaked to clean the area where electrolyte went with light vinegar first and lots of water afterwards! I think it has already leaked and either corrosion or the electrolyte may be causing the issues. If you power …

It doesn't appear to have an AGP slot. If you want to utilisr the performance of a Tualatin CPU in games you need an AGP card. PCI is already a bottleneck at this point. ISA slot is nice but mostly for DOS which doesn't require Pentium III performance. I wouldn't buy this mobo for a gaming build and …

Guys, this thread was made by Muz and in 2018. I don't think there is much point replying anymore. He visits the forum daily still Yes. Read some of his contributions.

Maybe you can get an AM1 board for cheap and build a multi media/web browsing machine? AM1 is sort of cool for being a pretty capable (in 2014) SOC platform and it can be upgraded with a discrete GPU to help with hardware acceleration for 4k video.

Nice test. Were all those done at 2.8V or did you already increase voltages? Sorry, yes 2.8v What I found when overclocking CPUs of that era is that some will OC relatively well at stock voltages but hardly profit from increasing voltages while others are mediocre overclockers at stock voltages but …

Buying the individual components at ebay prices will be more expensive but it'll only be worth it if you want this exact config or a very similar one. The i430tx chipset won't be able to cache 256MB of RAM properly so you'd probably be better off with less memory.
