A fan on them would be an easy way to help as well

Not saying you can't overclock on it, but I would not reccomend it. You might not get as far as you would with a proper board.

I'm using Noctua C14 to cool the VRM.

For the first time I'm using this modded heatsink with the screws/springs that came with the cooler. This a game changer & my mistake not to use the orignal screws with built-in springs that come with the heatsink. What sets this modded heatsink apart from a normal Noctua C14 is the IHS, which is sanded down (ultra low profile), then soldered to the Noctua C14. This heatsink is now showing it's true potential & showing stunning performance when now used with LM.

I have now found/fixed my issues when mounting naked die CPU..

1. I'm not using the original IHS what was desoldered from the original CPU.. I simply grabed another fresh IHS that has never been soldered. So it's nice & flat with the nickel plating.

2. The super stiff springs that come with the heatsink plays a critical role in getting the heatsink to sit flat across the die. This takes out all human errors when getting the heatsink to sit perfect flat across the die.

got something pretty special worth to share I think

Full ATX mainboard with mobile socket 479 CPU (and socket 478 mounting cage)
Unfortunately (as expected) no overclocking features in the BIOS...

That is super super cool. As far as overclocking, try setfsb. I believe this is the clockgen.

Really interesting looking board.
I found the manual, this is an industrial board (CB1051 G4) by Beckhoff who I've not heard of before.

Block diagram for anyone interested. All-solid caps, this is a neat little board. Keep us posted on SetFSB

Sucks that I don't have my first TPU account, dammit.. well, this turns 10yrs this year so I'll have the badge at last

I'm using Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H ... DDR2.

I'v only just started messing around on the AM2 platform after being so long modding 939 platform.

This explains it.
It's the same VRM phase setup as the MSI that folded on me (4+1 Phase) so it's definitely drooping under load, hence the need to volt it up in the BIOS.
Under a load when OC'ed and all 6 cored loaded down (Stress test) it's not going to do well, no way around it.

If you had it in for example, a Crosshair V you'd see a HUGE difference in how the chip behaves since that board has the VRM's to keep up with what it needs - Even a Crosshair IV or AM3+ Sabertooth would be an improvement over the one you're running with it now and you'd see a difference with those as well.

Mmmmm...........not exactly true. Wife's daily is a 1055T on that same board. Been running @ 3.7 for a long time. Still runs like a champ.

I can believe that, your wife isn't trying to run Prime 95 to stress test it - Plus the clockspeed being used with hers is lower too than Delshay is running with his chip.
And I'd have to guess yours is the 95W version too. His 1100T is a 125W chip like all the other 1100T's, there are no low(er) wattage variants of it.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (125W) vs 1055T (95W)

 

[Ruru]

Hm, 1055T.. I had one in 2011.. It was too good back then so I traded it for a 965 BE

Never heard about Beckhoff me either; in fact I bought the board ($12) without doing any research but just because I liked the NB heatsink (I thought it was an early socket 775 industrial/OEM board)

Thanks for the manual!

MOSFET has blown up in the last half a hour this morning. I was undervolting computer & suddenly it shut off for no reason whatsoever. It looks like a capacitor may have cause a short because the CPU is still working in another motherboard.

Anyone interested the part number is K3918 & K3919. ...I now have a choice of buying a replacement or swapping them out.

 

[RyzenMaster.sys]

I wouldn't bother replacing the failed MOSFET as there may be more damage revealed.

It most likely failed due to being overstressed and if repaired will likely fail again if you continue to subject it to the same current draw.

Buy a better board.

Pretty happy these days, I just ordered myself an ABIT BE6-II for cheap. Has had some traces for a IDE channel fixed, and needs new caps, but otherwise I'm happy I could find one that doesn't require me to break the bank in my country's currency.

Hope the repair goes well. Pretty hard to find this board these days. My own still runs like a champ.

 

[RyzenMaster.sys]

Abit was an interesting company. Their boards were all over the place in quality. They had some pretty interesting lga775 boards up untill their demise as well.

Hope your repair goes well.

Nope - Mine died of MOSFET failure too in the VRM setup but the chip itself was fine afterwards.
The MOSET in that board's VRM died for the reasons I gave, not strong enough in the VRM/Phase dept to keep up with the strain of the chip while it was being stressed tested and the strain eventually caught up with it.

Instead of fixing that mess just to lather, rinse and repeat these results get a board that's capable of handling it reliably.

Look what the cat dragged in!

Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI ROYAL. Now my P4 EE (I might have 4 pcs - I have to check) will have a place to call home. This board is heavy and running hot. The NB is an absolute furnace even with active cooling. The CPU cooler is a heavy aluminum monster even for a stock cooler. All in all I really dig this beast. Unfortunately the board came without the DPS module but hey at least I have a socket for it when it will pop out eventually down the line ...

This board is all 'bout the D, the Pentium D that is! Don't get your D's mixed up folks!

This board was the most unexpected thing this weekend. I also got a bunch more stuff from Sk3 with VLB to late PCI era but that is kind of mundane in this neck of the woods.

 

[MaxiPro800]

Gee, did we both score big this time?

Mine will arrive on Tuesday but still... In the meantime, I'm doing lots of preparations - the caps for my BE6-II are already sorted - 3300uF and 1500uF Rubycon MBZs.

 

[Robert B]

Do you have the DPS module on yours?

 

[MaxiPro800]

Uh... ABIT ain't running a DPS module?

 

[Robert B]

My bad. I thought that you also got a GA-8N-SLI Royal.

I read about your Abit BE6-II. Nice score bro!

Oh goodness, take that shroud off that northbridge heatsink fan. Ugly, restricts airflow and causes needless noise... Use the fan, just without the shroud..

I recently bought a floppy drive and am very disappointed the disc want go in the drive. it looks like it is bent in the drive Surely the disc should just pop in

Is there anything lodged inside the drive that might be causing that problem? Perhaps maybe a piece of the drive or disk tray frame is bent?
