I got my TR-DLS dual Tualatin bords running again by replacing the little caps near the onboard LSI SCSI chips.
I have three of these, the best runs too hot IMHO, seeing temps of 45C on CPU1 and 57C on CPU2. Using decent fans and sinks and Arctic Silver so I think it should run cooler. It uses 2x 1400 Tualatin PIII-S.
Board runs well, but I get warm air blowing out of the PSU (Thermaltake TR-2) 430 watt.
I discovered that the heat spreader is removable on these chips. I cleaned out the cavity on the chip that de-lidded itself, put some Arctic Silver in there and re-attached the lid. No apparent effect on temps.
I finally got this one to lock up while playing Solitaire. It won't lock playing video.
So I guess I'll recap the whole thing. It uses Ruby ZLs & Nichi HM in the VRM
area (lots of them) and Ruby YXG(?) elsewhere. Nothing domed, ESR values look good.
Any ideas where the heat is coming from?
