  • Re: Intel 865PERL MB Needs recapping

    Yeay, necro plus award for me...

    anyways I stumbled onto a backup I had of some old setFSB settings.

    CV174CPAG - black gateway 4610D (intel d965CO)
    ICS932S401EGLF - black gateway e6610D (intel d 975 ?)
    [B]ICS952623CG - black/silver gateway ? (intel d865GLC)
    [/B]
    So that last one is what you'll need for using setFSB on these boards.

    ICS952623CG

    You will need to set it a few mhz at a time, (ie, increase 3, apply, increase 3, apply, etc)... if you try and jump directly to...

    necro award aside, prescott should still work on these boards. My workplace had quite a few of these GLC/PESO/PCD boards with prescott 3.2Ghz and they were fine. Maybe see if it needs a BIOS update? It's possible with an older bios maybe it was feeding it too much voltage? Of course with Intel OEM board more likely it just wouldn't post with unrecognized CPU.

    Also yea, thermal paste matters. Prescott ran hotter with a smaller die, which makes thermal paste/heat transfer even more critical.

    Lastly is if you luck out...

  • Emerson CKA1000 - Time signal clock radio - dried cap

    Recently got an old Emerson clock/radio working again by replacing a capacitor in it. This is one of their "Radio Shack catalog" radios of yesteryear, where it has overkill features you'll never use (seriously, who needs four alarms?) but it DOES make a nice digital clock, since it sets itself using the Atomic Clock signal.

    So if anyone else has an old Emerson CKA1000 kicking around still (it's the silver one) and it starts resetting itself don't throw it away just yet. Mine would work until the house A/C kicked on... i guess the voltage drop was enough. But according...

  • Re: Foxconn WinFast C51GK8MA revived

    Did this topic come off too much as a "look at me!" post? Is there any interest for pictures?

    Sorry if it came off as such.... it really was not my intention. When the batteries charge for my ancient camera I'll get some pictures of the rework... but even that is of limited value since I stupidly didn't take pictures of the "before" to compare to.

    Also a step by step of my capacitor removal technique is likely an example of how NOT to treat electronics. Using a butane torch on the back of a PCB...

  • Foxconn WinFast C51GK8MA revived

    Time for a little story:

    So I was given this board as "bad" since it wouldn't work with PATA optical drives. Turns out this board doesn't like long IDE cables. That was a lucky fluke I used a short cable, but now that it's known easily worked around. Had some single core 939 Athlon64 3200 in it. Didn't really overclock that well, but I didn't really try. Maybe better memory would help but it just got set in the corner.

    Separately I was also given a Tyan workstation board with an Opteron 165 that apparently liked to "desolder" it's Nvidia chipset...

  • Re: K7SEM capacitor identification

    Sorry I dissappeared for four months everyone. Trying not to be a "flash in the pan" Long story short - I got another job. Or as I like to say, I managed to get a [B]real[/B] job again after I was laid-off two years ago. So hopefully that means I have more time/money to revisit these old hardware projects!

    I sure hope so anyway

    I [B]just now[/B] read this fully. NICE Scenic. Yea I'd be more that willing to revisit the 6800 assuming I can find it's remains. The 12v dead short would explain why the power...

  • Re: Using higher voltage caps with same capacitance. How bad is it?

    Just a much delayed follow up on this. My butane torch I use for desoldering big stuff/highly heatsinked stuff was [I]finally[/I] returned this past weekend, so I finally got to tear into the bigger recapping stuff.

    The Rosewill 500w I was going to recap, well... I guess when it went out, it went out hard. I found shattered mosfet =( I guess I could replace the mosfet and hope for the best, except the part that blew off and shattered also had the specifications. I'm sure it's a common part, but ugh....

  • Re: Using higher voltage caps with same capacitance. How bad is it?

    Just a tidbit - the PSU with the "bad cap farm" wasn't the Enermax after all. It only had 5 visible bad. Must have been another one that got scrapped.

    And wow, talk about a power supply from a different era. It's definitely from the pre-12v era - No P4 connector and only 12A on the 12v. But you get 44A on the 5v rail, and 35A on the 3.3v?!

    Now I'm really hoping it works again, it's like the ultimate retro-ATX system PSU. Your ISA cards will never want for power with this ...

  • Re: Using higher voltage caps with same capacitance. How bad is it?

    Yea I didn't think it would really improve anything. I was more wondering if it could cause ESR or ripple problems or something. Of course the dying caps I'm replacing probably weren't so awesome in their death throws and it still worked, so I'm probably being paranoid

    And I wondered that myself with the 3.3v, 5v, 12v in computers. I just figured they had a reason for 10v on a 5v line, since they otherwise cost reduce everything else Or maybe they just have a nice bulk discount for 10v caps....

  • Using higher voltage caps with same capacitance. How bad is it?

    I was wondering if there are any bad side effects of using higher voltage rated caps in place of an original. For example if I replaced a 10v 3300uF capacitor with one rated for 16v 3300uF.

    I've done it before, when I can't find exactly matching capacitors in the salvage tub. I was just wondering if doing this is a Bad Thing (tm).

    I'm going to re-cap some power supplies I have, and in my enthusiam of removing the bad caps, I kinda didn't take note of where they went back exactly (oops).

    So if I replaced an assortment of 10v and 16v 3300uF Fuhjyyu caps...

  • Re: My work (e.g: the cool stuff I come by)

    Heh, I couldn't have worked at a place like that. The drill sergeant guy would have kicked my butt out for attempting to "save" way too much hardware

    That or after I took a disposable camera flash unit, hooked it up to a random computer case instead of a flash, and then asked him to push the metal button on said case. "oh, and be sure you stand on this anti-static mat while you do that" ....

    If you took a place like that + relaxed work environment + high pay = hardware...

    lol, what's the lowest FSB "30 cap" non-mobile northwood P4? Pinmods anyone? [url]http://www.google.com/images?q=socket%20478%20pinmod&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=854[/url]

    Just half joking. We actually had a 3.4Ghz Northwood Celeron where I worked. Win9x it was decent. WinNT based OS it sucked. Unless you're running an older Linux based OS the loss of cache [B]really hurts[/B] Pentium...

  • Re: Intel 865PERL MB Needs recapping

    If you still have the 845 board around that the processor worked in, you can just run CPU-Z with that processor in it and it will tell you for sure what the core is

    The more I think about it, 1.7Ghz would be pretty aggressive for a "Willies", and I don't want you wasting money on my word.

    Just a FYI on your lemon.
    [url]http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d102ggc2/sb/CS-029352.htm[/url]

    One of the few ATI chipset based "Intel series" boards. If you're stuck with the emachines BIOS, you can crossflash this board to the Intel reference bios. It adds a few more features but nothing awesome.

    You'll need to make a BIOS recovery disk, and remove the "BIOS Config" jumper. Sorry I don't have one of these boards still in front of me to check exactly. If you actually...

    Having another n00b (me) post on it again after a month: -$???

    Did you get this board working? These boards are pretty indestructible, unless you happened to get an early one with the ICH5 vulnerable to "death by static electricity + USB".
    [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_Controller_Hub#ICH5[/url]

    On a long shot, you sure it's a Northwood Celeron? Willamette based Pentiums/Celerons won't work in this board. The 1.7Ghz speed makes me wonder.

    But the actual reason for me...

  • Re: K7SEM capacitor identification

    Is there any further interest in this topic? I don't want to (further) spam it. I realize that badcaps.net is focused on the capacitors, so I suppose whatever result I get after the board functions isn't too relevant to this forum.

    If I can actually FIND my Epox 8RDA (non-plus) and it actually still works after re-capping I could see if increasing capacitance on the board helps overclocking. But that's another topic and another day when I actually find that board. In general I'm thinking that it does.

  • Re: K7SEM capacitor identification

    Just a FYI. 148mhz bus seems to be a sweet spot\OC wall for this board. Three different video cards (with known AGP overspec tolerance) all behave the same, regardless of sideband/fastwrites agp speed settings.

    Taking a guess from the rebelshaven posts about strange PCI delay settings and other odd voodoo for getting 150mhz to work "when the phase of the moon is right" I think 150 is just outside the stable envelope for the chipset.

    Considering i'm running 148 rock solid, with PCI speed (assumed) at 37mhz...

  • Re: K7SEM capacitor identification

    Times like this remind me of just how awesome the T-Bred B was when it came out. Anyway, time to fill out the numbers.

    210=140fsb
    215=143
    220=147
    225=150
    230=153

    It then reset. note that i've been posting all this from the K7SEM. I'm probably running into the limits of the 512mb SDRAM stick I have. I seriously doubt it was ever intended for this. But at a CPU speed of 1875 as I type this, K7SEM rev1.0 isn't so bad =D No idea if this is actually load stable though.

    So there's the preview....
