    Price performance, that's it... They are heavy into OEM... The same guys that own a big share in them own a big share in other OEM companies.

        You can test the 686B bug by transferring large amount of data from one IDE channel to the other one using UDMA modes - e.g. copy large files from CD-ROM to HDD connected to different channels and then check MD5 sums of the files. If they don't match, you have a problem. Try VIA PCI latency patch instead of 4in1.
        I never had file corruption when copying a file from one IDE channel to the other! This is even with the 686B southbridge chipset.

            ok, as i bought this boards, never one know`s the bug. I startet with an w2k or w98 (don`t remeber) autoinstalation. This inlcuded the automated copy of the whole windows cd on to the hdd. And with UDMA enabled on both -hdd and Cdrom this prozes failed permanently. So, experienced with od oldscool UDMA problems disabled the UDMA of cd and then it worked. I have leaved it until those bug become popular and i knowed what had been wrog. Those Problems only become noticable if you copy large files or if an Sb Live stresses the PCI bus. But the problem is still there anyway. And this makes a good os installation going apeshit in the long run. Ok today with improved drivers, Bios PCI bus master time out option those problem are worked around, but this slowed down the PCI performance. May be bad board design and bad caps mak this problem worser, but it is existant in any 686b bridge.

                Same here - the broken stuff is the well known G-LUXON 6.3V 2200uF garbage - twelve of them twelve bulge, so no surprise about the random rebooting, bluescreen and all that jazz with the random switching off or not starting from time to time....

                We'll see what happens after these are all replaced.

                    Best place to source RAM chips? 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB
                    by ugamazing
                    I'm looking to upgrade several 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB for personal use. I am curious what the best practice and process is for sourcing new replacement chips, and what vendor(s) you guys prefer? Another question is, how do I find compatible chips and their corresponding part/model numbers? For example, in the 820-00850 schematic, the DDR chip U2600 model listed (EDFB232A1MA) corresponds to 1x32GB chip. Of course, I would need 4x8GB chips to replace the 4x2GB chips currently on the board. How do I find compatible 8GB chips? Is it as simple as searching "BGA178 8GB 2133"...

                    WSON8 NEW Bios Chips READ, ERROR, ETC.

                    Hi,
                    I asking for help on some new WSON8 256MB chips. Please share your experience. I faced error on some new chips on read, erase, write with different programmers. These new chips are not exist in any programmers database. (GD25B256D, XM25RH256, W25Q256JV so on.)
                    I'm using RT809F V.5.0, EZP2023 Pro, CH341A Green

                    For the exact experience with GD25B256DYIG is RT809F erase the chip under 33sec. This kind of 256MB chip normal erase time is 70-120sec so I think not all the partitions are erased. If I do blank check or reread the buffer says FFFFFF but when I write the correct...

                    [RoG Ally] Fault in one of the onboard RAM chips. Any way to diagnose which?
                    by Prott
                    Hello dear badcappers!

                    The title pretty much says it all - do you, please, know if there's any way to troubleshoot which of the integrated RAM chips (LPDDR5X in this case) is faulty?

                    Backstory:
                    After replacing the 4 onboard (soldered) memory chips on a RoG Ally (4x4 GB to 4x8 GB) it got stuck on the RoG logo. I assume one of the chips is either not soldered properly or faulty. However after reflowing and replacing bunch of them I am still stuck at the same place.

                    If there is a way to narrow down which memory module is faulty it would make my life much...

                    Is there a list of known dodgy ATI Radeon chips?
                    by LukeDavis
                    Hello again! (People are likely going to get tired of seeing posts from me lol)

                    I'd like to try and compile a list of known bad AMD/ATI Chipsets and graphics processors.

                    While I do not possess the knowledge of some of the brilliant minds on this forum, I can at least mention a few chips I've encountered as being troublesome.

                    1. ATI 216-0752001 (RS880M/RX280M) found inside 2 HP laptops, one I've since deemed screwed, and swapped the board to an intel one, the other HP seems to be less hateful and runs fine.

                    2. ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 and the...

                    by piernov
                    Just archiving everything related to bumpgate since most stuff has disappeared from Google. Maybe people will finally take the time to read some of it and stop shouting "reflow gpu" at every occasion but rather try to understand what the real issue is…
                    Interesting parts about the failure analysis are "Why Nvidia's chips are defective" and "Why Nvidia's duff chips are due to shoddy engineering"


                    May complete this post at a later date with more details.
                    Basically issue is a combination of thermal dissipation of the chip with hotspot,...
