And you might want to check on ECS Elitegroup 755-A2 Socket 754, it is the same board as I can see. https://www.ocinside.de/review/mainboard_ecs_755_a2/ PC Chips were also on couple of other brands too, which can't remember.

Sitting on a full coverage floor carpet, running 24/7 for a year or two. But yes, the more Cubic Feet per minute (CFM) goes through the case, the worse it gets.

Looks clean. What is it with the blue PCI slot, support for some dedicated card?

Yes, remove the Wi-Fi card(which it seems to be as there is an antenna connector). If you really need Wi-Fi, get for instance a Wi-Fi USB adapter for a few bucks. eg. TP-LINK TL-WN823N WLAN 802.11b/g/n or TP-LINK ARCHER T4U WI-FI USB PS. some newer cases do not even need to use a screwdriver...

I guess also that 1080p is a bit limiting with only 256MB vRAM. Seeing specs, Recommended Gaming Resolutions: 640x480 1280x720 1366x768 Likely 1024x768 or 720p might bring a few more fps in TR. I forgot about 1280x1024...

I use AOMEI Partition Assistant. (Free). After Windows install. https://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-partition-assistant.html

My five cents. I might assume that the PSUs in the rewiew scope are consumer grade PSUs, which the majority of users looking for a new PSU likely go in the $100-150 price range and less. The "tests" within the scope for an average user does not need to be too complex, it just does not bring much...

Board does not have SATA ports so no direct connection to a SSD. An IDE to SATA adapter card come about $10-20 to connect a SSD. A cheap eg. 240GB SSD some $20. To max it out, use only DDR RAM(board supports either SDR or DDR RAM). Would say it is not worth it...

Yes.

CPU-Z screenshots please, CPU, Mainboard, Memory and SPD.

Do you use XMP profile? With XMP it it should pick up 3733MHz, I think. With XMP in some cases, sets the DDR voltage a bit higher than stock if I got it right.

so, is the same issue as another reported yesterday? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/should-i-ditch-my-motherboard-and-get-a-new-one-solved.307520/ wdf01000.sys He found some solution for his case.

Not really sure, I had some thought of it being an audio chip, Realtek/Avance Logic ALC201. The Abit TH7II used the same AC2001.

Jetway V266B v3.0. VIA KT266. Appears one cap bulging in storage. Had an XP2400+ in it. Abit BL7, intel 845 chipset, a Pentium 4 Northwood at 2.8GHz

hmm, Windows XP? Can't remember WinXP, right click on the desktop brings up a dialogue box? Not that it matters for the mouse movement though, do all three A960s do the same? If they all do, time go with another model rodent.
