Nvida MX5200 128MB
Volcano 11 CPU cooler

Yes, I have PLENTY of other Socket A stuff here too.

More CPU's than I can name here without writing a novel-like post or something.
For the record, here's a validated run with my 3200+:


Other MB's: Abit NF7 / Abit AN7 / Abit KV7 / DFI UltraII Infinity / K7V Soyo Dragon Plus! KT266A / (Another) Asus A7N8X Deluxe ver 2.0

That's a very impressive FSB overclock ^^

I miss the socket A days

Thanks guys.

That's not all of them either but the rest is either too old for any real benching or for parts, including a dead NF7-S, AU31 and a A7N8X-X I robbed some caps from to fix bulging caps on my A7N, did that last January and it's been running strong since I did it.

Noted a member said they had the same problem earlier in this thread and replacing bad caps isn't a big deal.

@ Ruredee: If you still have the board with bad caps, here's what you can do.

All you need is a donor board with good caps, some soldering/unsoldering stuff and time. Make sure the caps are installed correctly when you do it since they can only be set it one way due to polarity.
That's why they have a colored stripe on one side and the MB has a black/white circle at the spot where they go. Match the stripe to the color it goes to when replacing it and it will be OK - Obviously you'd look to see how they are in the board before removing OR as you are removing them. Also make sure you use the same caps and read what's printed on the side of each cap, making sure what you get is the same as what you are replacing related to voltage and the like.
