    cpu card?

    I was looking at these, not sure how i got to them, but they are very interesting...

    idk what they do, that one looks like a proprietary card for a motherboard that needs the cpu/ram/IO on a seperate card, but there are other weird ones.

    Re: cpu card?

    those are SBCs (Single-Board Computers)

    you put them onto "stupid" backplanes (a row of ISA/PCI slots connected to each other)

    often used for industrial stuff...

        I have something similar
        It's an 8088 that fits onto two full length ISA cards and plugs into a dummy backplane.
        Powerleap also made similar cards for a while. They made good render systems.

          @ 370: as told, they're SBC cards and you can't have a SMP system with them: they replace the former cpu or conflict with them. Not x86 systems used them as expansion or compatibility boards: old Apples, Amigas (with expandeable case: so the 1200, 2000, 4000) and such could run alternatively their OS or Dos and old programs in the same machine.

            Ohh, I found an SBC board today at the center. o.o
            I read this thread the night before and read the wikipedia entry to! XD

            I also found what I assume were rackmount PSU's as well...

              Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
              by Christos Tsiligiannis
              Hello to the forum.

              My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

              So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

              To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

              So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...

              Graphics Card mounting frame
              by Kemer
              Hello, I removed the graphics card from my laptop and I want to heat it in the oven. What I want to ask is, is it okay to heat the card without removing the metal mounting frame on it?

              As you can see in the photo, there is a plastic (black) gasket between the metal frame and the card. It sticks the frame tightly to the card.

              I previously removed the metal frame while heating it, but it is quite difficult to separate it from the surface it is attached to. If there is no problem, I do not want to remove it.

              What worries me right now is the possibility that...

              EVGA Nu Audio Sound Card - Not Working
              by FZG
              I have an EVGA Nu Audio sound card that is not working properly and I need some help diagnosing the fault (preferably by someone who owns this card and is willing to take some measurements).

              The card sort of powers up (LED lights are coming on and the relais is clicking, some voltages are present) but it is not detected in Windows. I tried installing in two different PCs and tried several driver versions but the card was never detected anyway. So I thought this is probably not a driver / software-issue and then disassembled the card to take some measurements.

              I found...

              Gigabyte Aorus 1080ti - card not initialising
              by benwaterson
              Hi there.

              Have searched various forums but haven't come across the exact issue I am having.

              Bought the 1080ti with a fault (randomly shutting down, black screen , fans full speed etc). Previous owner had replaced thermal pads but many were too thick on inspection.

              I tested the card in windows, all loaded up ok. Put some load on the card and it crashed. GPU was reporting 92 degrees C at the time.

              Switched the stock cooler out for an AIO water cooler from my 1080 FE, booted the card back up - temps were much better and allowed some load to be applied...
