I just checked, there are: 17 v25 330uf 3.5 8 v25 330uf 5 As supposed the capacitors have the same voltage and capacitance, the difference is the the dimension and the distance between holes. This might be a problem because there is only one kind of polymer capacitors with 5mm and they are not cheap …

That's interesting, could you please upload a picture of the cards? The SE version is a stripped down version of a budget card, so no surprise it runs so bad.

Thank you, I watched the caps of the ss7 boards (asus p5a for example) and yes there are 2 different size of caps but still they have very same capacitance and voltage (v6.3 and 1000uf) there are just 2 that are a bit higher. Anyway I will take the board out from the case, give it a look and report …

Thank you very much for the tip, I have my gigabyte in a case, so I can't really see the dimension of the capacitors, I have to watch the internet pictures. People before me switched down to 16v capacitors since 25v were probably used to achieve longer lifespan. Do you think the panasonic will be …

I was wondering if those caps will be ok to do a full recap of the board: Filename capacitor.png File size 17.1 KiB Views 805 views Is the ESR too high? The terminal pitch is right? Thank you for any answer

Sorry for the bump, I'm looking to recap the same motherboard, which caps have been used and how was the result? I don't mind spending a reasonable amount of money for this board so i'm looking for very good caps Also the link from Phil's doesn't work anymore :\

Thank you for the feedbacks, you are probably right, if the cache chip is pin to pin compatible it's probably better to go with Gigabyte GA-5AX rev 5.2 that uses the G revision of the chipset. I'm sorry but I really have this ocd about the ss7 platform 😀

Don't bother. Performance increase is too small and you're stuck with 128 Mb anyway. That is a wise advice but still it's something i'm looking to do for some time and since I have 2 Aladdin V boards, I like to modify one in such way, maybe the gigabyte would be better, but I don't know if it is …

Does anyone knows if it is possible to upgrade the cache? With the right cache chip and memory tag? I have the Asus p5a rev 1.04. If so which cache chip and memory tag should I use? I wasn't able to identify them from the video Thanks

I'm actually more interested in how slow can it run. Does it have a 1.5x or even 1x multiplier? Would be nice if it had TR12 registers like the Pentium MMX, which by disabling only certain features allows for great granularity in speeds. I gotta check the datasheet of this CPU. Probably winchip2 is …

Given that at 300 MHz it's still going to be very slow to my thinking it's not worth the risk. I was hoping others had managed such as 400 MHz, but now that seems like wishful thinking on my part. Getting the FSB speed is tricky with an mP6, have you tried SIV on your system and if so did it get …

I tested it with the Asus p5a, probably it's a matter of luck? I think it could receive some more voltage if needed, the cpu is really cold, but I do not know if it's worth the risk.

I have been able to push it to 285 mhz with 2,1v, it also booted at 300mhz but crashed soon after the post sequence.

Thank you for the tip, I just has you adviced, borrowed the chip from another motherboard (Winbond W49F002U), I hotswapped it and burned, the card now boots fine! I also find the Winbond W29C020-90 which seems pin to pin compatible.

That's explain why the mb doesn't work, thank you! I don't understand why I didn't get the error while trying to flash it but anyway, do you have any 2mbit model I could use? I checked on my stash but they are all smaller size.
