I will give that a go, but i don,t. have any problems with older boards .

Axial fans don't make as much noise as these inorder for that fan to produce enough airflow it has to spin alot faster and by doing that it's going to make a lot of noise

Finally found a working 7900GTX in good condition (20$). Slight oxidation on some connections, but seems to be working fine.

An X1950 Pro is added to the collection as well (8$)

Restored this Xenon Xbox 360 to its former glory, along with the original "Blades" dashboard. Sorry for not taking a photo after I put it back together.

I've wondered for years that what is a backplane? Is that practically an advanced riser or something?

Heard the term again as watching this Epictronics video.

Not one of those, I had a Pentium 3 650 based model from a year or two earlier. It was one with an AGP port and a Radeon All-In-Wonder card. Filled it up with 3GB of RAM and a second hard drive. My wife ended up using it more so I gave it to her on the condition I could buy a new custom build. She loved that machine. We later upgraded it to a P3-1ghz.

Suggest some games for testing? Others can suggest as well :toast:

Quake 1 Enhanced Edition, Halo Custom Edition PC SPV3, Command & Conquer 3, Star Wars Empire At War, Tunic, Bioshock Remastered 1&2, Bioshock Infinite, Trinity Trigger to name a few. These are all either older titles or titles that are able to run on older hardware. Hell even Crysis1+Warhead would be an interest run. Most of those can be had on GOG.
