We live in a small world but the irish people is found every where

 

[FireFox]

Just in case you picked me wrong, unfortunately i am not irish

 

[Edwired]

I know bud

Hahahaha...

That a mosfet blown a hole how that happen? It can be repaired easily if you have another replacement mosfet. As well you want to check the rest with a digitial multi meter if any of them are shorted

 

[lyra]

I dont have the tools to go and replace the mosfet. Looking for another bare bones pc with an old 775 motherboard now. Do the nvidia chipset 775 boards suport xeons too?

 

[Edwired]

Ah i can understand. I dont know about nvidia supporting xeon but do check woth delidded.com for info. I know i have a asus t3 that is bare bone as it have a 965 chipset in it as im wondering what xeon would work in that i did the bios it wont take e5450

The barebone i have is https://www.asus.com/us/Mini-PCs/T3P5G965/specifications/ i had another one like this bud the board died. It a great little pc i know space would be a problem for upgrading a graphic card

 

[lyra]

Where did you find tables like that? Thats so handy. Its an 880i lt nforce chipset.

Wait hang on... That doesnt exist... Ill delve deeper

I think its an xfx 680i lt sli motherboard. I have a 5470 for it. Another option is another one with some p45 chipset board but no more information than that...

 

[Edwired]

The p45 chipset works fine with xeon e5450 and i tested foxconn g33 that works fine with e5450 trouble is asus p5q series boards are getting more expensive on ebay for some reason people hiking the prices up to a stupid amount same goes for graphic cards like example gtx 660 getting about €100 to €180 and the gtx 980 getting two times the prices

 

[lyra]

Ended up getting an asus p5k premium for 38 quid so thatll work good and should clock up good. Gonna have to get a a case and psu now though. Sigh. That dead mosfet has really pushed this builds price up T^T

 

[Edwired]

The asus p5q premium will do well in overclocking. Question what ram you gonna use in it? And dont forget the motherboard is big 12 x 9.6 inches you want a case that support eatx

 

[dorsetknob]

And dont forget the motherboard is big 12 x 9.6 inches you want a case that support eatx

Sorry But not true IT will fit a standard ATX Case

 

[Edwired]

According to this it 12 x 9.6
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5K_PremiumWiFiAP/specifications/

Sorry But not true IT will fit a standard ATX Case

The only way you try to fit eatx board in an atx case is to have psu outside the case not cool

 

[dorsetknob]

Yes and copied from the page you linked to at the Bottom
ATX Form Factor
12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm )
Having fitted many P5 boards into ATX Cases and currently looking at a P5Q Pro Turbo in a ATX Case i know it will FIT with no Problems

The only way you try to fit eatx board in an atx case is to have psu outside the case not cool

IT'S NOT AN EATX BOARD
ITS ATX

 

[Edwired]

It wont fit trust me i been the computer repairs job for 11 years i know for a fact please an atx board is 9.6 x 9.6 will fit in an atx case not an eatx as it too high

 

[dorsetknob]

So You Know Better than ASUS that's nice to know
Website and the manuals state ATX FORM FACTOR (just admit your wrong before you imbarise yourself further)

edit you need to read this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_form_factor

 

[EarthDog]

The ATX standard is 12" x 9.6" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

If that board is 12 x 9.6" it is an ATX board and will fit in an ATX case.

Ed, you got your 'wires' mixed up, friend.

 

[FireFox]

Agree with @dorsetknob

It is an ATX Form Factor
