    Hehe it'll be crazy trying to get NIC/hdds to run at 45mhz PCI, and a video card to run at 90mhz agp

      HAIL ENGINEERING SAMPLES!! I was able to get a few to run at almost 200FSB!! Gawd I miss those days!! Overclocking is sooo dead nowadays.

        Yeah, nothing quite like trying to make 50mhz pci stable hmm? Damn I loved my Abit KR7A-Raid.. 1ghz AXIA tbird and a 256mb stick of crucial pc2100.. all the vmods.. *sniff* With a peltier I bet I could get this 667 p3 stable at 900 or so.. I've got upto 1.9v in the bios to play with.. What ram do you suggest for those kinds of speeds?

          I have a batch of Corsair true PC150 which I used for those experiments. It ran hot as hell, but was always reliable at speeds well above 150MHz

            Did you heatsink it? Probably more expensive than DDR but I'm almost tempted to go looking

                Nope... I split the overclocking part to general, since we all launched way off topic on the overclocking tangent.

                  Oh ok, yeah.. I'm blind. And its late >_>

                  Hmm I've heard that Crucial pc133 will do 150+, think theres a good shot at that? Its alot cheaper than getting real pc150 or pc166 stuff. Also, what about running a tualatin? I know the board doesnt support them, but the s370 tualatin 'adapters' are so cheap.. Good idea?

                    I've had very good luck pushing crucial CAS2.5 beyond 150. At 155+ it would get flaky. CAS2 wasnt much good beyond 140.

                      Is that the best option while remaining cheap? What about samsung? Also, how did you keep your hard drives uncorrupted at nearly 50mhz pci? A 66mhz raid card?

                        what chipset is that board? The board I did this on (Iwill DVD266u-RN) had manual settings for the PCI and AGP dividers, so I could ramp the FSB, and change the divider to get it as close as possible to the stock PCI clock setting, which was nice, and no corrupted data.

                        If you don't have those settings, there's not much you can do about it.

                          Its a i815. All I have is dividers upto 133mhz fsb. I ran upto 190 fsb on my KR7A with the same dividers and never had a problem with quantum or seagate hard drives. How high did the dividers on the DVD266u-RN go? Thats a dual s370 board based on a via chipset, right?

                            I'm still overclocking to keep up with newer processors.

                            If I can't afford an Athlon 64 PC system to build, probably going to get a later Athlon XP model.

                            Overclocking Athlon XPs (T-bred and Barton) are even easier than Athlon T-birds even with a locked multiplier. Because it's easy to increase the FSB frequency with nForce2 and Via KT400 or later.

                            So much for an Athlon T-bird 900 mhz processor I have still working, because I wasn't even able to get 1050 mhz stabily.

                              Greetings,

                              I have an Abit BE6-II motherboard that posts sporadically with the bare minimum components installed - CPU, RAM, PSU, and a Keyboard. I know it posts when the speaker beeps. Re-seating the components has no effect.

                              I thought the sporadic posting might be capacitor related. Upon inspection, non of the caps are bulged or leaking and they are all original. So, I pulled them ALL. While the ESR is OK, over half of them are leaking current between 1 and 2 mA. The biggest offenders are way out of spec, like a 1500uf / 6.3V measuring 2600uF and many of the 820uF caps...

                              Hi all

                              Hope this is in the correct place.

                              I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                              Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                              Pictures of the boards are attached.

                              Hello All,

                              I am trying to repair an old Abit ST6-R motherboard.

                              The symptoms are the following:
                              I got it in a non-working state. I was told that it sometimes turned on, but many times just the CPU fan was spinning and no other signs of life, the board didn't POST, and now it doesn't POST at all.

                              It was full of bulged electrolytic capacitors, so I replaced all of them with new Low-ESR ones, but it didn't solve the problem.
                              If I install a CPU in the S370 socket, only the fans are spinning and no POST. There are no beep codes even if the RAM DIMMs...
