    OK, so this wasnt the board I recaped... Anyway, the SB has obviously had a hot life.

    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      Yep, that's an ASUS- can you guess how I know?

      Also, it's been "cost reduced" per Intel. The chip has no heatsink and the area for that MOSFET(?), while being silkscreened for a larger one, has a smaller-than-original one.

      I'd try replacing those KZGs.

        one thing that always drove me nuts was the fact that it only supports 2gb RAM, this new(to me) one supports up 32gb. plus the two extra cores and extra 50meg of speed are nice. then there is the onboard RAID, the ability to boot from add on cards, and the slots for my Quantum Bigfoots

          Cost reduced indeed.

            also doesn't supply 3.3v to the PCI(-e) cards.

            should i dump the output of a few hardware listing commands here? they're sitting in the infrastructure that was built by me and this one cat who is an engineer from Comcast, which we obviously have access to 24/7.

              Not needed. No 3.3V PCI, yet it's new enought to have a 965 chipset?

              I thought Netburst was bad...

              That was a junky system 10 years ago.

                Netbust/netburn/Netbroke/Netbork/Netbunk is bad. but its nice compared to this thing.

                    netburst cpu's will be worth more than gold when the global cooling kicks in and you need to heat your pc to stop the harddrives freezing.

                      I've got an Intel Q8200 that keeps my living room warm in winter. Seriously, that thing puts out a lot of heat. Makes me sweat sitting next to it in summer. I keep a fan in the corner to get cool air over here.

                        Re: my zombi-puter has finally died.

                        My (thank goodness, retired) P4-3400 definitely gets quite warm but my video cards are just as bad, if not worse... The Radeon 8500DV AIW in that machine makes the system a venerable heater.

                        My i7 and Q9550S don't get that warm at all by themselves...

                        However I recently stuck my Radeon5770HD in my i7 to get a bit more GPU speed. That video card almost doubled the i7's total power consumption when idle... Ridiculous.

                              Based on the symptoms, that would be my guess as too... Well either that or the CPU socket BGA. Most (if not all) standard Intel and AMD heatsink retention mechanisms after the socket 370 and socket 462 era rely on the motherboard's flexing force to hold down the CPU heatsink (which is a very poor design, IMO). As a result, many motherboards end up getting warped from the CPU heatsink. If the CPU ever ran hot and was cycled many times, I wouldn't be too surprised if this fractured the CPU socket's BGA.

                              Same applies for the chipset BGA, and especially for Intel-built motherboards, since some of their chipset heatsink retention mechanism designs were just as poor (a few Intel D845 motherboards come to mind here, among others).

                              And lastly, while the chipset heatsink may seem to run cool to the touch, the chipset could still be quite hot. If it's got a small die and the heatsink is aluminum, chances are the thermal coupling is not very good.

                              Hey, don't be dissing the Netburst! While not very efficient, it's probably the only CPU from the early years in the millenium that can still handle Adobe Flash fairly okay (especially the HT variants). Also good for video encoding/decoding (thanks to the long and narrow architecture, which is well fit for that task).

                              What?! Those 5" quantum bigfoot HDDs have terrible reliability - bad sector galore at best. Large platters have complex problems that are hard to overcome. I'm not surprised at all that 5.25" HDDs did not catch in the industry.

                              Heh, yeah they do make a cool sound when running, and especially when the HDD initializes. My 3.2 GB makes the case vibrate in a funny way .

                              I have one of these:
                              http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentiu...3000FT%29.html
                              Just scroll down on that page and check out the TDP!
                              .
                              .
                              Yup... 130W TDP . And maxes out at 150-ish Watts. I tried it on a small mATX ASUS motherboard, and it made the whole board nice and very warm to the touch .

                                      Yeah, I see those SB chips discolor the other side of the board too. I usually throw a heatsink on there and that helps quite a bit. I agree that Pentium D's aren't that bad. The 65nm ones were a lot better. As long as they have RAM to work with, a good heatsink, and a PSU that can handle the 12V load

                                      My parents still use a Pentium D 940 as their main machine, with 4GB DDR2 667, 7 Home, and an Intel 240GB SSD. The thing boots up in about 20 seconds
