classically toasted nForce and other garbage 

All that retro tech just throw in a box hurts my tech loving brain so much.

I just love buying lots like this. Just won an auction for a bulk lot of cards that had a voodoo banshee hiding in it. $20 shipped to my house for a banshee, and I get all the other stuff. Tremendous value buying this kind of bulk lot, but you do get a lot of junk and trash.

13:35 that's an AXIA core. That overclocks to 1500+ MHz easily

The FPS Blue Storm 2 psu was one of the best back in days. i still have 2 of them 500w model(one for parts, 2nd working)

Personally I liked nF3 250/250Gb/Ultra the most what comes to Nvidia chipsets.

No bent pins, no fun! :) It makes your day and makes you smile! Or reach for that WW2 flamethrower. ;) Have a nice weekend!!

I used to have an AM3 board with nforce 630a about 12 years ago....that chipset ran so hot it was mostly 50-60C all of the time Eventually i sold that board after 1 or 2 years while it was still working cause those temps were gonna kill that board eventually

Nice little haul of assorted parts, too bad the nforce board is dead. What I'm most appalled about is the packaging job though. It was just thrown into a box some newspaper! That's not an ok way to ship pc parts.

The copper heat sinks. Such a lovely looking thing. I was hoping it wouldn't bbe a bad board. I do wonder if that couldn't be fitted to something else. Such a waste of all that lovely golden copper. OTOH it would indeed look good on the wall. Thanks for these looks into your hardware finds. So many of them I had missed BITD.

guys... we have way to much time, still doing stuff like this! and i still love it :) watching as well as doing it myself

Recently got a M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe as well. Those chipsets run so hot. And unfortunately whoever owned it prior to me, thought it would be a good idea to use thermal epoxy on the chipset. So not only does mine run so hot that its unusable. But it also can now never be repasted 😢

They need to remake those motherboards with all that vrm cooling by far the best looking mother board ever in my book

Nice content. Keep up the good job! Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

sorry for you bro, i still have an XFX 790i and tbh, i've never had any problem with it :x run my Q9650 overclocked to 4.2ghz and my 4 sticks of ram to 1860mhz with very conservative voltages with just a little GTL Vref tuning. was my first fully watercooled rig and it's been running since pretty much 2008/2009 without any issues.

100 пудов же материка была целая.., взяли и убили такую красоту... 😢😢😢 Не ужели нельзя взять и потратить чуть чуть своего времени что бы всё упаковать нормально а не как грудо хлама скинуть... 😮😮

4:26 Я такого даже не видел никогда.

You got from dirty old earbuds, FPS power supply and even more 5.2 drive bays fan controller. 10:00 Yeah board had a rough life, but never ever i saw that design of heat pipes going all the way to the memory. Truly insane

I may have a fix for your mainboard: try to change out the 37.xMhz crystal for the RTC, I'm sure they had a bad batch of crystals on their AM2 Deluxe boards I'm glad I had the M3A32-MVP Deluxe second hand back in the past.... It had a dead RTC crystal, changing it fixed the issue that's like the one your M3 is showing. A nice looking board IMHO, but I didn't have the RAM heatpipes, otherwise I'd of probably kept it as it just looks quite good for a MoBo. Also, Dat MSI, something just pleasing about that board's layout IMHO. Lastly, my experience of NForce proto-PCH era was that the one in my Core2Quad gave a bright flash and smoke back in 2009, later I hear about the NVidia underfill PS3/Xbox issues.

I have that Asus M3N-HT Deluxe board, very fond of it myself Probably my coolest (very literally) nforce board and I think the NF200 PLX(?) chip is the hottest component on the board. Though previous owner of mine did not include the mempipe add-on sadly.

wow, amazing how sometimes people don't know what they have until they lose it. I am a fan of retro PCs and currently my father has left me a batch of old components... including 5 beautiful 7800 GTX 512 graphics cards, like new. I only need to acquire the 256

Both post codes mention stuff related to the SuperIO controller, check if all its legs are alright (the ITE chip), because some looked weird in some shots (but we didn't see a closeup of that one).

I think my best recent buy is 9800GX2 for £30, claimed working, DOA but once i left to warm up came back to life and has worked since, cosmetics hurt but easily fixable, seems i'm growing a collection of GPUs with cool artwork :) Sadly i think courier worker stole my package with 440BX motherboard, ram and pentium II 450, was going to be main platform of 95 build with pentium III 550 and TNT2 Ultra Diamond Viper, was a good price too, this is why i tell sellers to avoid Evri/Hermes in the UK but some don't listen..

I still have my Asus Striker Extreme with Nforce- 680i-SLI, always hot as hell 🤪

That double marked CPU is pretty cool! I've never seen that before.

Wow, another useful video, keep it up...

Maybe you could find a use later for that heat sink on the asus n780 board. Say on a similar board.

Double-etched Pentium 4 couldn't self-identify what model are they. 😁

Shame about the Asus board :(. Nice Blue Storm! How (not) surprising seeing "CrapXon" capacitors bulging... That P4 with dual markings is pretty interesting! I look forward to see the hot air station in action :-)

I like your videos

curioso el procesador con doble marca de especificacion

I like MSI motherboards of DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4, especially for DDR2, which carries four RAMs. You can install 4GB RAM of the type DIMM 6400, 240 pin 4GB. Is it better again?

Some hardware are kinda old, so he must be collecting it

Those poor P4's, the last of Intels PGA chips, just destroyed! :'(

hermoso motherboad asus saludo desde argentina.

It was clear from the moment you bought an ASsus nforce 680 or 780 board, that it would be dead. Reason is, ASsus cooling solution for that era of nforce chipsets was bull crap and those got all baked and burnt. If YOU truly want a working nforce 680i or 780i board 775 or am2+3, then look out for evga boards. Those had big chunky chipsets coolers with a fan clamped on top. I know what I'm talking about, I had an ASsus striker extreme (baked to death 680i) and STILL have an evga nforce 780i SLI ftw board in WORKING condition with ocz 1066mhz ddr2 rams.

Socket 775 cpu has identity crysis.

Hi, nice collection there...sadly that asus motherboard is dead. Straightening those cpu pins, a nice little rainy day job. Thank you of your video and have a nice weekend. PS: Did you test MSI motherboard?

I remember having to completely reinstall windows XP because of the nForce drivers fucked up the OS. Such a terrible chipset and I'm glad nvidia did away with it.

I wander,if the cooling system could be fitted to another motherboard?

I don't know why you bother with blue storm's if there are Everest and Epsilon with the same color scheme and more power

ty jo ty cpu s piny nejsou zrovna ze Strahova :)))
