I meant the 44-pin IDE, where the 4 pins are for power(+5V). Are you sure they are going into the corresponding holes on the port?

I'm glad I kept this 12V PSU after it died. Replacing the output caps fixed it right up 👌 I also replaced some 100 uF 50V cap and checked the mains caps - fortunately, they were okay, as I don't have any in this size

this made me sad and angry: adding a fan to a closed side of a heatsink - is just fucking stupid 😵💫

why even bid on a 128 bit "9800 XT"?

P.S.
it seems the power consumption is not changing with the brightness, and the schematic confirms it: the lamp brightness is not controlled in any way
P.P.S. maybe an LED conversion at some point? 🤔

Probably the simplest way of getting clean 6V DC from a 2S Li-Ion battery: two 1N4007 diodes in series.
(I got tired of recharging AA batteries every 3-4 hours 😆 and I keep it playing in the background way more than I expected)

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I had to heat both halves, and now it freaking works. First, I heated the top half - it got rid of artifacts, but WinXP would restart. Then I heated the bottom, and now it boots and passes 3DMark06 🤯

Added heatsinks to the VRM (as per tradition) and put it in my Shuttle SG31. I also replaced 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 6-6-6-18 with Geil 4-4-4-12 (the motherboard doesn't support DDR2 1066, and I don't want to OC on a 250W PSU😅)

Also, here's the underfill under UV, definitely a later generation with the adhesion promoter applied, but the underfill looks pretty much like one from 2008 🤔

Polishing the turd - I added an external power connector, as per tradition, and I'm going to wash and dry the card, put it in my Core 2 Duo Shuttle PC, and see how long it will work 😅
