We all know about the problems with nvidia chipsets and GPUs. My question is, exactly what Chipsets and GPUs are affected? From what I've read, the 8-series GPUs are affected, but is there anything else?

No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?
Quite a hard one to tell...
Well, I only owned the NF3-150 once for a while and showed me no problems - probably due to the AGP which had no problems in those times with Nforce chipsets...but as for todays PCIe...really I have no idea. I personally do not recommend any contemporary (if they're still out there) Nforce crap - really don't know what happened in Nvidia...Have only some bad experience with RAM speed setup, it always degraded 800MHz to 667 and won't run stable at all, tried A-data & Corsair = fair brands, one low and the second high end manufacturer to me. But as for the GPUs, no experience...could you specify further what are the problems in peculiar? Lazy to browse google

I basically consider anything nVidia made with a 2007 or 2008 date code as suspect.

Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?
6 series GPUs? I didn't know the problem went back that far.
Reason I ask is because I have a system with an MCP61 chipset. Did the problem affect motherboard chipsets? or was it only graphics cards?I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?
you need to remember it is mostly only a problem with laptops simply because you cant put a copper housebrick in a laptop
although the agp / pci cards still cook the shit out of the caps.Comment

Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?
stj; Yea, it is a heat issue
If the standard cooler is replaced with a beefy copper one (or as in my case a water block) then the cards will be fine
I have used a 8800GTS 512MB G92 for almost 3 years now, voltmodded and heavily overclocked...
I have noted tho that the maximum clock I can achieve has been reduced by 20Mhz
So clearly the silicon can't take a beating at high vgpu, not that this should be seen as anything strange of course, it's true for all silicon
But just that nVidia's bean counters probably did push the limits too far this time..."The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment
