GiGaBiTe thanks for comments, taking it into consideration 'I would leave it well enough alone. I would however get some protection for the board like this really cool project: https://github.com/x86fr/ATX2AT-Smart-Converter' Yes, I came across this power source adapter, looking to get one...

cool stuff, I have an original one as well (not as complex as this one), but did not manage to test it yet. Also have a k7M mobo working, happy to do some testing for this GFD clone :) if you agree, please send me a PM (I cannot yet, as I am still new to the forum)

Nobu - thank you, wondering if XMP mode could introduce an increase of voltage, which ultimately makes the system unstable? will check the soc voltage, I did not pay any attention to this till now.

I am experiencing some strange behaviour with a new GIGABYTE X570 AUROS Pro, bundled with Ryzen 3900x stock speed (no overclocking). Case is well ventilated, but using the AMD cooler that comes with Ryzen 3900x. 32Gb RAM, Corsair RM650 80 Plus Gold Modular power source. Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB...

thought the issue of bad caps also affected 1999/2000 motherboards - but there is also the age issue by now. Added a new thread on vintage motherboards recapping - as I need to learn (and practice) a lot in this space :)...

Just adding a few thoughts on this topic. The issue: I have (like many others) a bunch of moherboards/systems from different years - some looking good, some with leaking capacitors, or even older mobos with tantalum capacitors. As I want to keep these motherboard functional for next 10-20...

Does it support SLI? please share the make and model, and your experience with it (troublesome, stable, rock solid) :)

quite a few places in Europe ;)

some esoteric ones in my view: https://hardforum.com/threads/intel-c4004-first-microprocessor.2007474/ https://hardforum.com/threads/nexgen-processor-cpu-motherboard-combo-nx586-p90-nxvl.2007346/ https://hardforum.com/threads/ebay-ibm-6x86mx-c4-sample-processor.2006142/ adding Socket 4 with...

Proper CRT not available to me (have an 19 inch one, but in my parents house, 1000+ Km away, and with lockdown still enforced - highly unlikely to get it any time soon) :( Now my short-term challenge is to locate a suitable 2005ish motherboard socket 939 with SLI support feels like 2005, indeed :)
