P5E3 Premium & E8400 payment pending DDR Kit2 payment pending

Price drop for P5E3 Premium - 140 euro + shipping I added some CH-5/BH-5 based RAM. 256MB sticks only. I tested mostly on Spi 8M. #4 Kit1 - does 255 2-2-2-5 3.6V - 25 euro #5 Kit2 - the best, one BH-5 stick, one CH-5 - does 270 2-2-2-5 3,6V (passes 32M, look on screen) - 35 euro #6 Kit3 - does 255 2-2-2-5 3.6V - 25 euro #7 Kit4 - two single Vdata and Twinmos sticks, I haven't tested them in dual - 10 euro per stick This RAM is VERY hard to get, at least in EU at this moment. I kept for myself two 512MB (I've found only three in total) and I'm selling the rest. Not to mention about those which are suitable only for the recycling

Here you have nicely rated PSC.

#1 Asus P5E3 Premium. Pulled from old high end PC, I think it was never overclocked considering the dried thermal paste below the stock cooler. Full BOX, only manual is missing, but I guess you won't need that Board is able to run 2000MHz 7-7-7 on double sided memory, which actually better than most Rampage Extreme which I had (only one was able to do it). It needs 1,75-1,77V on NB and very good airflow on chipset, that's all - no magic. PL9 on 2:1, as you can see on the screens. Board doesn't need any special tricks for FSB, I set only 0,67 for both CPU GTL. Validation on 626FSB (probably end of the CPU, considering the fact that it can run 620MHz Cinebench). https://valid.x86.fr/ewp6ct 150 euro + shipping (about 15 euro to most countries) #2 E8400 E0 Q827. Pulled from the same PC In my opinion can be good candidate for some nice scores, 4650 @ 1,55V Superpi 32M, and 626MHz FSB Valid. 15 euro + shipping (about 5 euro to most countries) #3 Celeron 450. Delided, IHS is loose, Kryonaut below the IHS. Silicon core lost a corner, but works without any problem. 4030MHz on Air as you can see, scales to 1,65V on air and runs hot (high leakage I think). There are some mine old scores on hwbot - made on autoscade in around - 65/67C https://hwbot.org/submission/3061271_bartx_gpupi_for_cpu___1b_celeron_450_1h_4min_21sec_887ms I think it's possible to do 5GHz on this chip on LN2 and get all the gold cups 25 euro + shipping (about 5 euro to most countries) PayPal - friends and family. All items guarantee not DOA.

Thanks for the into about compatibility. There is much more hardware nowadays which people used to throw away, but now those things are getting more and more expensive

I'm wondering if anybody have a crossfire cable for X1950XTX. I have the Crossfire card already, but no wire...

6800LE sold, rest still available

Four nice AGP cards for sale. 100% working condition, all cards cleaned and applied Arctic MX-2 on core. All of them were never dissassembled before. All works perfectly except fan on X800 Pro which make weird noises. I don't have screens from 7800GS testing, but I can make some if you need. Guarantee not DOA. I ship worldwide, shipping cost 10-15 euro depends on location. Shipping cost for 2 pieces will be probably the same. PayPal friends and family is preffered. 1. Gainward GeForce 6800 LE DDR - 40 euro 2. Sapphire X800 Pro 128MB - 40 euro 3. Sapphire X1950 Pro 256MB - 40 euro 4. XFX 7800GS 512MB - 60 euro

All sold, please move

Buffalo Firestix - sold Bump for 2x512MB Goodram Pro sticks

Good point. There are those socket testers with LED, maybe it will show the broken connections.

Hi, I have DFI Lanparty NF4 with 2 ram slots non working. I saw also the other one for sale with the same issue. I'm wondering if anybody got the same issue and I'm thinking about possible repair. There are new NF4 chipsets on aliexpress for about 5$. There is also option to unsolder the chipset from other working board and solder it to DFI. Any input will be much appreciated. Those boards are getting harder and harder to get.

This HyperX stick is not a BH-5 for sure You can recognize it by the sticker.

Ok, I finally managed to get it working. Here is the working solution for Promise PDC20376 controller. I used 60GB Kingston SSDNow 300 SSD. 1. Connect the drive to the SATA port, double check the connection, because SATA connector on board is loose (!), not permamently attached. 2. Press Ctrl-F during boot and create 1 drive RAID array. 3. Integrate Promise PDC20376 / FastTrak 376 driver to Windows XP using nLite. 4. Create USB stick with Windows XP install using WinToFlash Lite. 5. Boot from USB choose 1st option (1st, text mode setup), in my case copying files took about 3 hours from USB stick. 6. After reboot choose other option (2nd, GUI mode setup), choosing first one again will result in error. 7. Be happy from your working Windows XP installation.

Chaintech and Soltek boards use Promise PDC20376 controller, some versions of those boards doesn't have SATA controller at all.

Recently I've bought a few nForce 2 boards for 462 socket (Chaintech 7NJS and three Soltek 75FRN2 boards, some with SATA ports, some with IDE only). I wanted to install Win XP on 7NJS today and I failed hard doing this... I cannot get it working on SATA SSD... after few attemps I found out, that I have to create a RAID array with only 1 drive (FastTrak 376 controller, weirdest thing ever). Ok, now installer sees the drive (with controller drivers added using nLite), but after maybe 2-3 hours copying files during Win XP install, the whole installation is corrupted... I'm using an USB stick with XP. Is there any confirmed and easy way to install XP on nForce 2 board, preferably on SSD? Maybe sort of IDE->SATA adapter. Looks like IDE is the way to go if you don't want to prepare million of CDs with XP installs. USB install doesn't seem to be working good too, I'm not sure if Soltek's board use it, on Chaintech it works.There are also IDE SSD drives on the market, but I'm not going to spend another ~50 euro on such drive only for testing purposes. Thanks, Bartek

I might have something for you in next week. Those things are getting really hard to get...

bump for those nice DDR2 kits

Foxconn BlackOps - sold

Kingston 2133C8 Kit1 - sold I tested Firestix once again on X48-DQ6 and they turned out to be really strong -1200MHz 4-4-4-4 @ 2,65V with tight subtimings. 20 euro + shipping I added another kit - Goodram Pro 2x512MB 900MHz @ D9GKX They're a little worse, almost pass SPI 32M 1200 4-4-4-12 @ 2,72V. Maybe they need some more voltage or cooling (one stick was naked, cooled only by airflow) 15 euro + shipping

For daily you could use chiller if you really have to, it will provide you a nice 15-20C temp improvement. You can set water temp to 7-10C depends on humidity (condensation), it will be still cooler than 25-30C liquid in the standard loop. Of course you can go lower with the temp, but that's safe temperature in my opinion without insulation the tubes and whole loop.
