So I bumped the Vcore to +0.204V (still far cry from +0.278V that the OC genie used) and bumped the VTT to 1.386V (last one before the color get red in the bios) - and x18 multiplier and hell, it...

I got a bit more rencent CPU - i5 750 Lynnfield with somewhat decent mainboard (MSI P55A-GD55 - Intel P55 chipset socket 1156 mainboard rev. 2.1) and since I was not overclocking such CPU ever, I...

...according to this, that was pretty much confirm what I managed to discover - 225MHz require extreme voltages and...

After changing the CAS using MemSet from 2.5 to 3 I get instant reboot... (trying for 3-3-3-8 to get stability)

That somewhat detered me from going futher. Semi-stable 229MHz was not that bad for...

For my old computer to get some interesting overclock and also (mainly) more memory I got a 2G of these DDR (1) OCZ Platinum 2-3-2-5 sticks labeled as OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K.

Guys, these lame Kingston Technology two 512MB sticks have bad even the SPD values: 2.5-3-3-8 (at least at 2.5V), but I wonder, if someone can suggest how to push them beyond 229MHz.
Because they...

It should be noted, however, that MSI really screw the GeForce 210-MD512H card bad, because it also does not work (not even post) with Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe mainboard (Radeon Xpress 3200 chipset), so...

I would like to find someone, who got a experience with NTB Compaq Presario V6314EA. This NTB has got Intel 945GM graphic chipset and Core Duo T2350 processor at 1,86GHz under load, otherwise at...

Good opinion. There is just one problem with it. I exchanged already all the caps. And the caps I used are brand fresh new, quality Nichicons. And all caps that I can replace around the AGP are...

Pretty please, with suggar on top, support the P4M800 chipset :D

Thanks. Sadly, I do have bad news. It did not crashed, I can play for hours (when it did not crash, then it is getting boring! :) ) and no crash. Next day the same. So I get the idea to push the...

The Stilt - very, very much interesting find! Thank you very much for it, amazing work. Finally we getting closer to understand the SuperPi lack of speed on modern AMD CPU's. But I do have a question...

Today is the day! :) UPS delivered a 10pcs of Vishay SUD50N02-09P-E3 mosfets samples from German Vishay HQ. Hoooray!

Therefore I immediatelly went to work. First at all, there is a picture that...

Since it was quite some time (2008), when I recapped this card with Samxon caps, then I got an idea. How about to test the caps longetivity by - overclocking? So, not only the card still works, but...

As I stated above, it was mainly attempt to get my AGP working - finally. It sadly failed, but with the 100% good and recapped with very high quality caps R9100 I'm now confident, that the problem...

So, guys, fixed! :D

First at all, I used the Forceware 162.67 - and then I did not even touch the icon. What I did, was to end in the services the nVidia help service (from auto to manual for...

A long time ago I get this old card. It was, even back in his day, low end card. But it was capable of running fanless and as backup AGP card it was usefull. And exactly that is the reason, why I...

Quick report - after recapping the Radeon R9100, I put it into my MSI PM8M3-V mobo and at first it show ram errors (heartbreaking, after so much work and so many polymers and added caps...) on the...

I choosen this mosfet as good replacement:

Vishay SUD50N02-06P
http://www.vishay.com/docs/71931/sud50n02.pdf
20V, 6mOhms, 26A, rise time 10nS, shutoff time 24nS
gate treshold 0.8V, gate charge...

Well, I better find some suitable replacement first, so if the cap did not work this out, then I have a second chance to replace the mosfet(s) near the AGP that resulte the AGP voltage, since the AGP...

As for the 10uF d4 SMD cap, I will replace it (shortly, fingers crossed) with a 220uF 4V Tantal-polymer KEMET cap, so that should fix the problem. If it still fail, then the NIKOS poor mosfet is up...

For the second time on a fresh Windows 2000 SP4 install I tried install the Forceware 162.65 WHQL drivers. (Opteron 148, PNY 8600 GT - so the older drivers the better) The drivers itself work well,...

Heheh, thanks. Yea, it is a fun project... and yes, like I mentioned, there is overclocking options in the bios. However just up to 117MHz FSB by roughly 2MHz steps.

What is pretty weird is, that...

So years ago I already gather for this recap the caps, witch give me Big Pope - at lest these Samxon caps. Adding the 1000uF 4V cap increased the total Vcore output capacity to 18 300mF in 8 caps!...
