I say it's a crime not to do it/ The board looks hella better than it did :rockout:

everyone to their own opinion I guess

I wonder how much I could sell this board for.....

No clue, but since there's no chance of an RMA (Not even of tricking the new guy) at all, not full value. XD

waaaaaa...

it's do it at your own risk.. i'll try this when i have enough funds to build a new rig.

white is better, like mac especially if apple icon is designed as well

What a legend!

Is the board still running to this day? or did you sell it like you said you wanted to?

my board that i painted still works but isn't setup right now because i don't have a CPU for it anymore.
I'm not sure if D still has his and he doesn't stop by much anymore

DaMulta · Aug 8, 2010

Yes, I still have it, but I broke a few pins in the CPU slot switching out CPUS. Which kinnda killed the board.

Alright, its been almost another year and i followed this whole thread today. i was impressed that it worked and down right inspired to do it myself. i just need the time for it. im so curious if you still have it, even today. if so did you ever fix the cpu pins? :confused:

is 1.52v not overkill, most people can have to oc with 1.25-1.3v on p35/x38 -p45/x48

DrPepper said:
is that possible on win vista ?

i did it with vdroop on my q9550, 1 core @ 1.7ghz super unstable jumping from 1-3.4ghz and V core went jumping fron 0.8v to 1.5 xd
did something stupid xd

DaMulta · Apr 23, 2018

I was so proud this project it stands so clearly in my mind. I wish I could say I still had it. I know this thread is old af but another look.

Lol I remember this being like a 500 or 600 dollar motherboard at the time I did this.

zithe · Apr 24, 2018

This was around when I first found TechPowerUp. Stuff like this was awesome af

Yo, be more active here dude, there are others that miss ya here ya goon lol

MrGenius · Apr 24, 2018

That's a whole new level of ghetto mod right there. I wonder why it never caught on? Just kidding of course. There's no wonder at all why it never did and never will. Just because you can get away with doing something...doesn't mean you ever should do it. :kookoo:

DaMulta · Apr 27, 2018

Only if I still had pc quipment to tweek out on. Omg the reading I would have to do to catch up would take months.....
