Finished the OGXbox up. Black top, blue bottom case, white faceplate. Aladdin XT working as it should, and a 160GB Samsung SP1614N that's barely audible.

Most x800's could be flashed to a better version, and even unlocking 4 more shaders or pipelines. Had a X800pro as well flashed to XT with all extra's unlocked. Few hundred points back in the days of free performance.

Mine is R430 it doesn't seem to be unlockable from CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES readings. I didn't want to overclock this card as I already blew up X800XT before because of it. Prefer it to stay stock as finding this card is hard and expensive

He says LG likely because that's what the optical drive says. The case looks like a modded Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T.

Thanks for that Remeca It looks a very unusel design.The motherboard looks intrasting with thouse red ports Never less i will give it a miss.My small flat is beging to look like a computer Hifi record shop.

Is there any difference between getting this15cm Molex Extension Cable 4 Pin 5.25 Male to Female IDE PSU Internal PC Power to this Sata 15CM 4 Pin Molex Female To 15 Pin Male Power Adapter Cable Hard Disk Drive which one is the best?I want it for this SATA To IDE Adapter Converter 2.5 Sata Female to 3.5 IDE Male HDD DVD U

its a pain getting the female Moxle cable out of thereSo i was thinking if i got one of the cables below i could leave the one in the adapter and conect the other end when needed.

Like our friend Pjil says thouse no name cheapo adapters are touch and go as to wherther they work or not The first one i got worked fine.I wanted to get another one i got one that did not work,then thought i would give it ine more go that to did not wotk.I just saw this video ny Phil and decided to get the Star Tech one its a lot more exspencive than the no name one.

you get what you pay for in life. I have got the Molex to molex version.

That is a shame.

Lex i bought a small item on eBay it did not work,And told the seller it was faulty and wanted to senf it back,
*Dear buyer, sorry, I‘m glad to 50% refund you and u can keep the item, because the profit of the item is very small , and hope you can understand . Is that ok? Looking forward for your reply.*This is a uk seller,i could understand if it was a Chinese seller.I don,t exspect that from a UK sellerWhats the point of keeping something that does not work. I told him i wanted a full refund as i am entitild as it is faulty.The profit if the itrm has nothing to do with me.The item was only £6.15 why should i lose out.

Time to bring out some "big" guns.

The XFX 7970 I got earlier got the heatsink from my dead VTX3D. Removed the VTX logo from the fans, also reused the "R9 280" backplate even tho I planned painting it white.

My first attempt at crossfire - R7 265 and HD7850. One ASUS, one Sapphire. The Intel SSD is also Xeon powered

Just open a dispute and send it back anyway. Defective products are not the responsibility of the buyer.

Yes i know. The message sounds a bit like the the message i got from a Chinese seller that i put on here before.These knock off adappters are not worth buying i bought
three of them and only the first one worked. I just bought this one which is nearly three times the price of the knock off green ones.

StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter - 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter (IDE2SAT2)That i s a better idea using the floppy to connect instaed of the Molex one on the knock off ones.You have to really press it in there and it is a hell of a job getting it out,the connecter came off but i manged to get it back onPeople have said watch the pins on the Srar Tech but if you leave the IDE cable on it and just take the IDE cable out of the Motherboard you want have that problem of getting the pins bent.i like the idea of the Molex extention lead.It is a very tiny unit but is a lot easyer to connect than the knock off ones.Star Tech is a good brand it is worth the extra money for it.I have just seen it has gone up by rwo pounds since i bought it yesterday on Amazon ​

Yes, there's a separate heatsink attached with pushpins on the VRMs. It should be visible in the 3rd photo.

Here's both the VRM sink and the backplate:

Technically, the R9 280x is just a souped up 7970 (same core) so the backplate is kind of accurate enough

Welp, out of pure boredom, I set out to have my own spin at a B52-MMX CPU.

What the Genesys B52 MMX was originally? A modifed SL2W8 300MHz Pentium II, with new L2 cache chips (which surprisingly, despite being 5ns, were faster than Intel's 4.4ns chips.) and a few resistor modifications.

What I chose for my own spin:

- 1x SL2W7 P II casing
- 1x SL35E P III cart I had around
- 1x Soyo 6BA + IV mobo

I will probably look for a custom name for my version as well. I was thinking something along the SR-71.

Finished the SL35E for now.

The one on the right is a SL2HC Klamath 266.

Went to the market today ,did not buy anything.There were a couple 775 motherboards with basic CPU,s E8400 E8500, if they had a Quad Core one i would have got one of them.There was some ram they did not have any markings on them saying DDR 3.4.I am after DDR4.I tried the molex extension lead i got the other day with that knock IDE to Sata adapter needless to say it did not work.I should have taken pictures of them and put them on here so someone could tell me what DDR Ram it is.

I have a really nice partner for your P4EE. New in the box all the way from December 2004/early 2005. I’ll take more pictures tomorrow during the day!

Today's hunting season proved to be pretty great.

Shame that the 6600GT is artefacting. Everything else works tho, and I can prously say the ASUS 7850 I have now has a Sapphire sibling of the same 2GB GDDR5 flavour.

The Xbox mobo is also from a OGXbox I bought today. Before pics show the bulged caps and awful chip wiring, with the after photos showing 5x Rubycon caps and a fixed Aladdin XT chip.

Awesome I have that 6600GT new in the original box!

Love it!
I'm actually looking for a SLI board for it like a P5N32 so I can run a few benchmarks with a P4EE and SLI

Oh man that model number rings so many bells from back in the day LOL. That would be pretty sweet!!

I have just seen this ,it looks a very untseal case ,i have never seen a case with a big fan like that at the front of the case. And all thouse red sockets what are they?*Good condition It hasn’t been used for long time and sitting in the storage , No cables etc. not tested hence the price, selling as shown on the photos. He says it is a gamming PC.£20 not sure i really want another PC.Any one got any ideas what the case is?He calls it a LG Gamming PC.I was unaware LG made Pc,sOf course i would be taking a chance as he does not know if it is working or not.The case looks in good shape.View attachment 314186View attachment 314185

View attachment 314184

This is the answer i got from the g
That’s a gaming pc
I’m not sure about the specs as kids played it long time ago
No cables etc just parts and repair if it works a bonus at this price.
Is it. worth taking a chance at this price?I would have thought it would have been easy enough for him to test itIt can,t be that old with all those red ports which i looked up are 3,2 ones.or If he just knows it want work.It can,t be much of a GPU taking only one slot.The case looks old.

I just bought this the other day, i wanted to test my three IDE cards one of them said removable drive with nothing on it so that was a dead card Only one seems to work one keeps on going off but i managed to get it to stay on line to get the crystal disk test work..so good on the end.

IDE is a pain to confect

Haha oh my gosh. I wanted this case SOOOO bad for my first ever build but I remember it being out of budget so I had to settle. The huge jet engine style fan seemed so cool as a kid hahaha.

I might post up a P5WD2 Premium later... 975x anyone?
