Hi, I was making a delivery to a hospital and came across this 21" monitor outside. I like to mess around with hardware so I picked it up. After some research I suspected a bad inverter. I heard the capacitors often go bad on the inverter so I replaced them to no avail. Same problem. The...
I just ordered an open box ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 motherboard off Newegg.com for $30 and now I need some advice on which socket 939 processor I should get...
I was thinking:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2GHz Socket 939 = $86.99

No I haven't tried resetting the CMOS or taking out the battery... you think that would affect the graphics card? I don't have anything overclocked besides the graphics...
I'll try it though.
So I upgraded the cooling on my eVGA 6800GT card to the Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 and was now ready to try voltmodding. I read some articles and tried this NiBiTor.v3.1 program to make my BIOS with a 1.4 voltage instead of the regular 1.3 but it wouldn't match the board id when I would try...
