So, I soldered a 5V Noctua fan 0.5W 0.1A black/yellow/green to the CPU. It scores 116 points in the processor benchmark, compared to 134 points with the stock fan, and 24 without a fan. The stock fan shows 0.14A on the sticker. I will look for another fan with the same power draw, unless anyone has …

Hello mpe, Thanks for your reply. Understood - but I am seeing a significant performance drop when I compare stock fan vs. noctua fan, see attached. If it is not clock speed, it is something else I guess...

Good morning, Yesterday I received my 200 MMX Overdrive :) Another piece of gear I was looking up to in the 90s but never could afford ;) NOS, which felt really strange - anyway. This is a third world problem, but I think the fan is really loud. I was wondering, if anyone has ever done a fan …

@Errius There is a 2 pin header on the board. I cannot find a proper manual that would explain what these do. I will keep digging though. @Repo Yeah, I knew I was talking chances, but had to try it anyway ;) Still I wonder what the rechnical reasons are behind the issue. Power is definitely one. I …

Thanks Errius, that may well be the reason. The Zotac manual states 29W of power draw. After some research I found out it is an Intel "Endeavor" board, Intel Advanced/EV https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Intel_Advanced%E2%88%95EV If so, I wonder if there is a way to add power to the GPU, via …

Hey guys, First of all: Happy Easter :) This may be frowned upon, and most likely for good reason - however: I recently rebuilt my Highscreen Pentium 90 that I owned back in 1994. I had this crazy idea to add in a more 'modern' GPU, so I bought a used Zotac GT610 PCI (not PCI-E), which is supposed …
