    Very nice, I've watched you restore that beaten down machine to a thing of beauty and it just warms my heart :-). But yeah, if I were you, I'd replace that motherboard sooner or later. There's a 200MHz CPU in there and I wouldn't rest until I'd get 200MHz actual reported speed, dammit! :-D

      Thanks man. Not only that but I want to swap out that SB Live for an Awe64 that I bought for the project. Until I sort out this issue then I can't use the ISA slots either. I did track down a Dell branded board but in spite of being really well packed by the seller it was DOA. So now I'm just keeping an eye on the Bay to see if another VS440FX comes up.
      In the meantime I've started work on the other machine that I picked up from the same seller

    Can you try different jumpers for the multiplier? Maybe the docs are incorrect. Worth trying. I feel it is odd that the board works fine just locked at 2x. Both 60/66MHz FSB seem to work ok!

    • @TechMadeEasyUK
      @TechMadeEasyUK  3 года назад

      Have tried lots of different settings. There's only one jumper concerned with multiplier and neither position seems to have any affect on the multiplier used by the BIOS, so either there's a broken track and the BIOS is reading open circuit, or the BIOS just isn't applying the setting dictated by the jumper

      @@TechMadeEasyUK Hummm, if you have soldering skills and do end up replacing the motherboard. It might be worth re capping it. That way if you damage the motherboard it's not your primary one. Unfortunately with some of these caps, they can look fine but have high resistance

      Soldering is no issue, what sort of resistance should I be seeing on caps like these? Might be worth testing across a few and seeing how they appear

      @@TechMadeEasyUK It depends on the rating of the caps, as in the MF on the sides will indicate the specs required. Depending on how many are on the board, you could shot gun it and replace them as caps are cheap, especially in packs.

    Frustrating. Pentium Pro motherboards tend to get hot. I have one that finally just died. No post. Looking at it, there is nothing wrong. Luckily, I have two other boards but like the first, they have mileage, and at some point they will fail as the pro chips tend to heat things up.
