    Watch out for that big red arrow - it looks sharp

      Re: My recapped VP6 is acting weird.

      That Thermaltake 430W PSU does look a little on the cheap side, but better than a L&C. Teapos are fine in a PSU, and I haven't seen a CapXon cap fail yet in a PSU.

      That will do fine powering the VP6.

        Re: My recapped VP6 is acting weird.

        New supply is installed and the voltage numbers look almost exactly like the Antec power supply's numbers.

        But no wierd noise.

        The "2.5v is too higher" message still comes up when enabled. It's obvious that it's not the fault of the power supply.

        Here's a question: When you use a new style supply to power a slightly older board could it cause an unexpected voltage levels? I noticed that the ATX standard developed to the point where a certain wire is no longer required (it was dropped from the ATX spec).

        ......someone forgot to pack that little red arrow with my new power supply.

          Try this site http://www.computergate.com/products...rodcd=BCFDPCUM
          They carry the AMD K7 CPU cooler for $7.95 for two. Similar to the one you're showing.

            I've seen some new power supplies missing IIRC the white +5VSB wire on the ATX connector. I have four ATX power supplies like that, and the missing 5VSB wire won't hurt the motherboard at all. They didn't damage my old trusty AOpen AX6BC Slot 1 motherboard (that board came stock with United Chemi-Con caps, wow for a board made in 1999! ).

              Re: My recapped VP6 is acting weird.

              i put the old via monitor on a customers box today and got the same error including the engrish.
              freshly recapped vp6 with tc's modded bios.
              its a non issue.

                Those CPU coolers I mentioned from computergate are $7.95 each or $7.75 each for two or more. They have to be better than the stock Intel heatsinks with the green clips. And I agree, the VIA monitor abnormal voltage warning seems irrelevant and/or wrong.

                  Is 2.5V to do with the RAM (VDIMM)?

                    Actually, not that wow. Because back in the late 1990s, motherboards were more likely to use Rubycons.

                    And United Chemi cons probably were used more.

                        No.
                        On VP6 RAM is 3.3v

                        2.5v (if it's even used) is most likely for some part of the chipset.

                        Can't be sure.
                        Unlike Intel's chipsets, diagrams of VIA chipsets aren't so easy to find.

                          I think -5v is only used by some ISA cards (and apparently not many even of those). It's in the ISA pinout anyway.

                            gdement's right.

                            I've heard mention that some transitional MSI boards (about the time ISA slots were going away) used -5v on the board for something or other. My guess it that they didn't have an ISA slot but the board still had a legacy ISA BUS with some chip on it that needed -5v. (Maybe like a sound chip? - Not sure.)

                                  820-3437 motherboard acting weird.
                                  by bridges_4u
                                  Hi there,

                                  I have an 820-3437 motherboard which does not show any signs of life when using an OEM charger. But the magsafe light comes up when connected using a fake charger. While using a fake charger, the fan spins for may be 10 seconds and stops. Then the loop continues. Almost every power rail is up, but with 0.2-0.3 V drop. But I do not get a display, but sometimes does. While powered using the fake charger, the CPU seems to be burning hot. I got display at about 3 instances with the fake charger.

                                  But with the OEM charger, no signs of life.

                                  Any...

                                  APC BR1000G battery backup has a weird issue sometimes a bad battery icon and making a weird sound for about 30 seconds
                                  by sam_sam_sam
                                  This started a few days ago and does this about every 8 hours

                                  After it does this it goes back to normal no bad battery icon and no weird sounds and it goes to battery backup mode so I am not sure what is going on with this battery backup

                                  The battery backup is about 3 or 4 years old

                                  Dose anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue I have never had a battery backup do this kind-a thing before so I am not sure exactly how to troubleshoot it and where to start

                                  820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
                                  by ugamazing
                                  So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

                                  1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

                                  2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...

                                  Weird clipping on Logitech Z-10 speakers
                                  by dreamlayers
                                  I bought used Logitech Z-10 computer speakers. They can act as a USB audio device or accept line input, and they have a headphone output jack. Some music didn't sound right, so I played a frequency sweep and heard other frequencies and beat frequencies between them and the sweep. I uploaded a spectrogram of a frequency sweep. From the very start, some but not all odd harmonics are visible, indicating symmetric distortion. Then at higher frequencies there are descending images of those harmonics, indicating non-linearity and constant higher frequency noise mixing with the harmonics. The image of...
