So my manual definitely matches the PDF posted by Beaflag VonRathburg - somehow I still have that piece of paper from all those years ago. However, the image on Zalman's own page for the product matches what buschman31 posted. I'm now trying to figure out whether there were two revisions of this...

This is a long-shot, but has anybody got the mounting clip lever for a Zalman CNPS-series cooler (specifically a 9500A)? This is specifcally the part I've lost: Unfortunately, the only site I found selling spares has long since discontinued them. Looking to reuse my old 9500A on a retro...

Looking for a motherboard for a Shuttle XPC SS56G or similar (ie SS58G, etc.). Motherboard in mine is an FS56, and the AGP slot appears to be dead.

Similar here, going from: Phenom II x4 920 @ 3.4GHz K9A2 Platinum 8GB DDR2 @ 972MHz HD7950 @ 1150MHz/1450MHz 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 (OS) 1TB Caviar Black (games) To most likely (but not set in stone): Ryzen 1600x or 1500x depending on pricing Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5 16GB DDR4 8GB RX480 250GB...

Cool, thanks.

If this info is available, I apologize, but I have searched and had trouble finding info on this specific card. Been out of the loop on GPUs for awhile and don't know if the PCIE power concerns are still a thing...

You can still get a premade copper shim that will allow the use of universal coolers. Couple places have them: https://modmymods.com/watercool-79x0-gpu-copper-shim-1mm-thick-17194.html https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vga-supreme-hf-hd7970-cu-adapter

I'd be wary of using paste in place of a thermal pad, because if the gap between the heatspreader and the heatsink is great enough, the thick layer of paste required would likely not transfer heat nearly as well. It might be worth trying to reuse the thermal pad if possible. Something I've...

I have a 32GB KingSpec SSD (PATA) that I recently bought from Amazon. I'm selling it because I intended to use it in my G3 Clamshell iBook, but it turns out this revision has a newer controller that is incompatible with the iBook's ATA controller. Color me pissed because it's a complete bitch to...

Thought this was a really cool project, any updates?

Hey Starhawk, hate to do this again, but if nobody wants it, I'd play with that board. Got everything needed to run it but the ram and IO card. I have a few 1GB dimms, but they're PC2700, would you still be able to use those? (I assume they'd clock down fine?)

Just took a look for you Starhawk, but I've only got 72 pin EDO, sorry. Hope you find some though, I love my 386 box :) Did you get the cable and bracket yet btw?

Bump for 3DFX goodness :D Still enjoying playing around with my 3DFX rigs.

Yeah I know, its a little bit ridiculous. Super useful feature though. Now that should be a fun setup :D I just grabbed a boxed Lanparty CFX3200-DR for $23 shipped on Ebay; I'm not sure how that happened since Lanparty boards (especially the 939 ones) usually hold their value really well on...

Yeah honestly I'm really impressed with this board; especially considering it's a Biostar (nothing against them but they're usually pretty barebones). Stable as hell so far, and the overclocking options on it are great. Also, (for those that don't know) this board has an awesome feature in the...

That's a really great story. Sounds like that old Opty served you well... a moment of silence. Those Opty 165/70/75/80 chips seem to be legendary. I just bought a 165 from someone on here yesterday, probably won't do anything with it for a couple months until I can afford to spend a bit more...

I've still got a socket 939 Athlon 64 3500+ with the heatsink if anybody wants it. I'm not sure what version (apparently there were a lot of different 3500+ single cores) but I could check when I'm home. Pending - Also have an OCZ 2.5" > 3.5" drive adapter if anybody could use it. Useful for...

Bah dammit, I'd have bought it if I'd seen this thread while the auction was still up >.<

It's so beautifully over-engineered... it's glorious! I especially love how you even stealthed the DVD drive :D

I decided to run Prime95 on it for a bit, and one of the threads got an error after somewhere around 10 minutes. So I went back up to 1.275v and ran it for a bit over an hour with no errors. I figure that's good enough for what that machine will be used for, which is just a spare gaming rig and...

Oh man those are cool as hell! I'd like to play around with one of those someday too. Too many 939 builds! I'm actually working on another 939 build at the moment, I've been slowly gathering parts for it for a year and a half, and I just had a big breakthrough finding the perfect case for it...

Sorry, you could click the small thumbnail to view a bigger image, but I just changed it to a bigger version. I've gotten down to 1.250v so far, still seemingly stable. Found a neat old forum post in which a guy posted his results undervolting a ton of different processors; from his results...

Thought you guys might enjoy this, I recently built this machine for fun and because I always have had a thing for the Socket 939 era, despite never having owned one until now. It's quite a fun little rig to play with; it took 2.4GHz (from 2.0GHz stock) right off the bat with stock vcore, and...

Bump for you, haven't had a chance to mess with the 3800+ x2 much until today, thing's a champ, took 2.4GHz right off the bat with stock vcore. God I love socket 939... next step: get some nice ram for this puppy :D

Starhawk, sent you a PM on the RAM and a couple other things. I've got a few items here, PM me if you'd like them: Athlon 64 3500+ (Socket 939) with stock heatsink. Haven't tested it myself but I believe it is working. Gone: GeForce4 MX AGP 32MB - This is a Mac card with DVI and ADC...

PM sent.

PM sent :)

Bump for you.

Fair enough, that is what I will do. Thanks! EDIT: Thought I'd just update real quick, I used Acronis True Image WD Edition to copy the drive and it worked great. It let me increase the partition size to fit my drive which I didn't realize I could do. Only thing I had to do when it was done was...

This is probably a stupid question, but I just want to check myself and make sure I don't go and do something dumb, since usually when I upgrade a drive I do a fresh install of everything. Should be a pretty simple answer I figure. Here's my setup: I have Windows 7 installed onto a 60GB solid...

Bump, very friendly seller!

PM sent :)

PM sent, Starhawk.

I love this so much! I have a Voodoo 2 SLI rig as well, it's a 600MHz Pentium 3 with 384MB of RAM, a TNT2 M64, 2 12MB Voodoo 2s, and a Sound Blaster Live. Runs Midtown Madness 2 smoother than it ever did when I was a kid (it's actually the same computer I used as a kid, but back then it didn't...

Looks amazing man! The DVD drive turned out really nicely. What kinda temps are you getting?

My system only has PCI and ISA unfortunately, so I'm currently using a PCI 4MB Matrox Mystique 220. However, that's a bit older than the rest of the system, so I ordered an ATI Rage 128 GL to go in it instead. The Matrox will then go into a Pentium MMX machine I'm building.

Looking good man, I love the hard drive cage! I bought them for $30 :) Building a retro DOS/Win 3.1 rig with them. Gonna be sweet :cool:

Now this is my kind of case mod :D Should be wicked... BTW you want anything with the old hardware? Consider putting it up in FS/FT if not; I want to put together a 386 retro build and have been having a hell of a time finding anything locally or on ebay for a decent price.

That'd be cool, it's not a bad looking case at all. I have a few prebuilt P4 machines I've been given over the years and most of them are pretty fugly sadly. How fast is the cpu? Dunno if this is your sort of thing, but I just built a late-2004-era gaming machine out of an HP I had with a...

Bump, just got my package from DVAmon. Great seller and crazy fast communication :)
