    Vintage/retro motherboards recapping

    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...

    Esoteric (rare) hardware from the past

    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)

    Gigabyte X570 AORUS Pro reboot with loss of drive boot settings

    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.

    Gigabyte X570 AORUS Pro reboot with loss of drive boot settings

    Geforce 7800 GTX SLI using different cards

    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 :)...

    Vintage/retro motherboards recapping

    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...

    Geforce 7800 GTX SLI using different cards

    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 :)

    3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP - 2 options, full box

    @Mr. Bluntman Much appteciated, will give a careful read before trying. Planning some motherboards recapping as well SS7, SlotA, Slot1 and Socket370 - up to Socket 462, so getting a good soldering station is on my TODO list

    3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP - 2 options, full box

    same for me, by now I have a buch of Voodoo cards (no boxes), including Voodoo 3 2000 and 3000 (AGP and PCI), Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, Banshee. Missing an early Voodoo and possibly will look for a Voodoo 2 at some stage :) These come handy for the retro builds I do

    Geforce 7800 GTX SLI using different cards

    Correction done, I meant 7800 GTX as model of card, as I have the XFX one clocked higher than all other model launched back then. Will look to get another 7800 GTX to play with SLI :)

    Motherboard for AM2/AM3/AM3+ build - 2010 PC experiment

    It came to me as an aftertought - I think I will I need a second mobo for this build/experiment, one that supports SLI. Any suggestions for a reliable AM2/AM3/AM3+ motherboard with SLI support?

    first AMD K6 CPUs - the ES / black version

    had the opposite experience: I got my first computer with Pentium 233, a week later I replace it with K6 266 and for next 10 years I was hooked on AMD CPUs :) got nearly every version of K6 in my machine, with a late motherboard upgrade - skipped the K7 SlotA years - and went with Socket 462...

    Geforce 7800 GTX SLI using different cards

    Noob question here (never did an SLI setup) - can two Geforce 7800 GTX cards from diferent vendors be used? Say XFX version (which is clocked higher than the rest) and the Gibabye one - 256MB VRAM each.

    Motherboard for AM2/AM3/AM3+ build - 2010 PC experiment

    Indeed, 2 Intel CPUs served me fine for intensive pentest work for those years, plus security assessmnet for virtualised solutions. I did stay away from excel work, that is deadly ;)
