You could probably try a POST card with power indicator LEDs for the +5V, +12V and see if they dim with ISA inserted, not sure though if it would work simultaneously and if you could even fit both 🤔

It has an external 12V only PSU, so 5V is generated somewhere locally

Yeah, after the magic smoke escaped, there could definitely be something wrong with it 😬

Then maybe +5V is generated somewhere on the mainboard and the conveter is simply can't power both? (bad caps or wasn't designed for such load) 🤔

Ah, so it boots, but not when ISA installed? 🤔

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?

and I presume both the adapter and port are keyed and can't be inserted incorrectly?

And I think it fried your previous CF adapter?

How is the card powered? There could be a short somewhere, and what you're hearing is some poor inductor 😅

Wtf, I just "fixed" another nvidia card, this shouldn't even be a problem revision of the GPU 🤔😵💫
Same symptoms as with the previous card: no DVI output, artifacts when connected to VGA, works flawlessly after bringing the die up to 100C for a couple of minutes 🫣

probably not in X1800, TruForm support was removed after Catalyst 5.8 and 5.8 is for X8xx and earlier

it is a part of PSU, so you will need an IBM style AT PSU
