Re: Hot gx620
Dood, as near as my feeble mind can recall I don't think I did. I'll have to try it again later.

Re: Hot gx620
Clearly you guys know something I don't. Tried speedfan again, enabled laptop support, but still couldn't get anything. The other program linked does seem to be doing me some good, however, and it shows the fan speed in the launch bar. If I have it set the way I think I do it will speed up if it gets past 131f. Right now I'm running an av and it's 1700rpm_a good bit faster than it was.Leave a comment:

Re: Hot gx620
Brethin, you're doubtless right about the Pci-e, just glanced and assumed it was agp. At any rate it couldn't ever be used with a fan stuck over it.
The fan in it plugs into the board; I'll have to check if it's 3 wire or four. The power supply only has the p4 connector and one sata hd, but I guess I could patch into it; have oodles of fans from an inch up.
Thanks for the other ideas, guys. I'll try Brethin's program; if that doesn't work I might have to get low down and dirty.Leave a comment:

Re: Hot gx620
Great!_thanks for that. Found about one and a half inches of space over an agp and pci slot; was thinking about rigging a fan in that. Don't know if it would be big enough to do any good anyway though. I'll try your program tomorrow.Leave a comment:

Re: Hot gx620
The pits. And no room to put another fan either. I'm thinking surely there must be some way to speed this thing up, like what happens, I wonder, if you cut the control wire and just feed straight power?Leave a comment:

Hot gx620
Replaced 3 caps on a gx620, redid the thermal, cleaned and oiled the fan,but it's still running hotter than I think it should. Tried speedfan but apparently the thing has no sensors. Anybody have any ideas how I can speed this fan up_seems pretty slow_or otherwise cool this monkey down? -
Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds
For a couple of years I was being given all the donated computer gear by a charity flea market; they'd been dumping it all, quite a bit of it. Then one day I mentioned when there was no more use for stuff I was gold scraping it and showed him the 1/4 ounce or so I'd collected. I'll make the rest of the story short: that ended my getting anything else. Dumb me.Leave a comment:

Re: Apple Cinema Display 20"
Well, the good part about mine is that it was free. The bad part is that it makes me sick just sitting here when I so much want to use it. Keep hoping I'll somehow acquire the necessary Mac to use it.
P.S. From what I could find on Google this thing cost $1100 or more originally.Last edited by styxbound; 02-13-2011, 03:23 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Apple Cinema Display 20"
I've had one of those things for quite some time now with no power supply. The supplies I've found are super high priced, and I saw something which said you had to have a G4 or G5 Mac to use it. What kind of info do you have about all that?Leave a comment:

Re: Testing VRMs
And thanks for that, PCBONEZ. Certainly should help me figure it out.Leave a comment:

Re: Testing VRMs
Thanks, PyrOBEAST, I'll see if I can properly apply that to some boards.Leave a comment:

Re: Testing VRMs
Sorry, I'm old and senile. Can anyone simplify for me how to find the inputs and outputs on vrms? There seem to be any number of fets around the cpu on a lot of boards, and I can't figure out where the in and out is on the circuit.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell Dimension 4700 - Bad United Chemi-Con
Hey thanks, guys. Thought I was going to have to wait until I run across another of these things.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell Dimension 4700 - Bad United Chemi-Con
Enduser, there is a transistor just to the left of the power supply socket by an inductor, Q5H1. Can you tell me the number of that? Took it out then lost it before I got the number. Thanks.Leave a comment:

Re: Standard wire pattern for lcds?
Just hooked this crazy thing up to the laptop again and now it's working again. It's not disassembled but is out of the shell. I'll try putting it back in the shell again later and see what happens.Leave a comment:

Re: Standard wire pattern for lcds?
Thanks for the replys, guys. It was a freak deal: it wasn't working, I took it apart and couldn't find anything obvious like caps, checked the backlights with another good set which did what it had been doing_came on briefly then went out. But then when I reconnected the original screen it started working properly; I even ran it off a laptop for an hour or so. So I reassembled it. Now the test pattern only comes up, then the backlights go out but the power button stays green and the test pattern is still there. All eight wires are the same size,...Leave a comment:

Standard wire pattern for lcds?
Guys, on lcds with screen connectors with four plugs, eight wires, is there a standard order like, from the bottom, Black, Blue; White, Pink; White, Pink; Black, Blue. Asking because I had an HP 1702 apart today, had it working properly; but after I put it back together the backlights go out, though it stays green and the image is still there. Can't think of anything else but maybe have a light plug wrong. The order above is what I have now; can't be sure it's what I had when it was working. -
Re: PCI-X Video cards
Thanks much, pcbonez, found the driver and it works. Don't know why I couldn't find it; looked at Dell and a bunch of other places. I'll have to try that site for a couple of other ati cards I can't find drivers for.Leave a comment:

Re: PCI-X Video cards
I just replaced some caps on a Dell 650 workstation which has a pci-x ATI video card. Looks like I may have to toss it because I can't find free drivers for it and I doubt it's worth buying them.Leave a comment:
