    Re: EVGA motherboard?

    Odd to theme a 3 phase VRM setup (low-end) with 3 PCIe x16 slots (very high-end), or is one not wired for x16 transfer rate?

    Other than that seems very nice with Solid Polymer caps all over the board just like the DFI Venus...

      Actually, you use the middle x16 for single card, and the 2 outer ones for SLi. EVGA is a jetway really.

        Why not just do 2 PCIe slots like most other manufacturers?
        Ludicrous gibs!

          the silver ones look like nichicon? chris1992 mentioned that they were using lelon polymers on their boards, perhaps those are for vcore?

          any better pic?

          one of the chains here is now supplying evga graphix cards but with 3 year warranty rather than the evga lifetime.

            its probably cheaper to make three slots instead of two slots with the different mechanisms for choosing single or SLi mode. and i think it sounds easier than some of th emotherboards ive seen (albeit it uses up more space then the other methods). hmm...i havent heard much about jetway? do they make good products? this board looks ok...although it seems the price is a bit much for the features....

            also, whats a 3 phase VRM? and why is that low-end?

            oh and no, i dont know of any better pics, i got that off newegg...

              This board is also sold as Jetway model 939GT4-SLI-G



              Image downloaded from Newegg.com website

              Somewhat bizarrely, Newegg.com sells the red Jetway for $105, but its green eVGA-branded twin for $129. Is there any difference between the two at all?

                The evga doesn't have a pc speaker onboard and the jetway does
                That means $19 to remove a speaker, not a good deal.
                free shipping on the evga not on the jetway

                    Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
                    by glovecaps
                    Hello,

                    I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

                    My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

                    The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

                    Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
                    by Docus
                    Hi everyone 😀,

                    I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

                    To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

                    Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
                    1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.
                    ...

                    HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D Blank Screen - motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901
                    by Archimedes
                    Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.

                    Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.

                    Fans are spinning. Blindly could install windows11 and got the device manager...

                    ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
                    by momaka
                    Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
                    This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

                    So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:


                    CPU VRM area up close…...

                    After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                    by dragon3x
                    Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                    power on.

                    Here are some examples :

                    (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                    switching supply area).
                    (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                    than 6.3 V.)

                    1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                    I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                    3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...
