Feels like building a mod-chip for a graphics card. WIP - more to come. Layout done.. some small tweaks necessary. PCB width is too large as well.

Some nice addition for R300 based graphics cards.

The attachment khan.png is no longer available

Finally got to it again, busy times.

Hardware prototype is ready, so some softwareing is inbound.

All on the no-love 9500Pro i repaired. I grew fond of this card.

Quickly hand-soldered prototype:

Mounted on the card using double sided tape:

Added some crude wiring and debug connections:

Card inside the system. Heartbeat is going and card still happy:

Yeah I recognise those speakers by sight. Probably only came with systems or multimedia kits or something and weren't really a standalone product. Coming in an era where everyone was getting "free" 2-7W speakers with their system, this sort included, and standalone sets were higher power.

Just seen this, only picture of them I can find. Looks like a lot of the others sets they had at the time. Also very cheap...

It'll add monitoring to R300, R350 and R360 cards incl. the main voltages, GPU and ambient temperature.. Incl. Rivatuner Support.
