Great video as usual, look forward to the final build, had very similar coolers back in the day, think mine was a swiftech, big lump of copper that thing was, been on a bit of a repairathon myself this past few weeks, couple of s370 board recaps and a TNT2 ultra repair and a Gf3 repair, I love this hobby.

Yea I have been recording a new video the past 2 days so its coming, it was MANY hours due to some NOS stuff being DOA. Glad to hear you fixed some cards!
Mine (CUVX4-D) is still working even today, great board! Idk who were behind of "4GB of DIMM sticks" - but he were a GOAT to me! That board kicked some "mid-level" 478 boards due to RAM size, wow!
I had a BP6, with dual Celeron. Dual P3 was a dream machine :) The oldest dual cpu mainboard I got used 2 Pentium 75 (or so, not 100% sure about the frequency). Too bad, I never managed to install any OS on it. I suppose I was just too dumb and ignorant back in the days :)

Yea dual machines are more fun are they not :) I had an older acquaintance teaching me basic computer skills back in the 90s, like installing an OS. Sadly he past away a few years ago, but he was all about Macs and had all the latest PowerPC mac stuff, the Cube, the Mini, The quad G5 liquid cooled etc. It was so much fun having a friendly Mac VS PC arguments XD He was an actual teacher. But I can relate, I have learned more about DOS in modern times then I knew back then and got in to 486 even if our first PC was a Pentium. But hey we can do it all over now and do it better XD
@ Sure they are fun ! When I had my BP6, I also had SCSI hard drive, cdrom and scanner. I used Linux or Win2k. I had the feeling I could launch as many things I wanted, this beast was unstoppable :) Great improvement after Win98 ... Of course the next upgrade was a A7M266-D with dual Athlon ... "Mac VS PC arguments" ----> Macs ARE PC !!! Personnal Computers. In the 90's, I just used a 286 to make speakers calculations on Dos :) I could see the curves tracing slowly in real time. Fascinating ! My first "real" PC was a 233 MMX in 1997, so already a quite powerfull machine.

@@nalinux Well I was told a Mac was a "PowerPC" therefor superior XD Well I owned G4 Macs Like the Mini and now I have a heavily modded Sawtooth with a PowerPC G4 800Mhz 2Mb L3 cache CPU. I did install Gentoo linux on it like a year or so ago for testing.
@ I bought my first Mac just a few monthes ago. A MacMini from 2012 :) Of course I upgraded with 2 SSD and 16 Go ram, and Debian/ Win 10 . I don't really like the Mac OS ... And performance is a pain with the poor video driver. I really tried to use it, it's a pain for me. On Linux ( or even Windows in fact ) it's really usable in 2023, I love it.
i wonder if it has the same bug as every asus with via apollo chipset that when you chose fsb manually pci divider don't switch, but when you overclock via covering bsel pins you can run celerons 566 at 200% speed with oem cooler and no volt moding
my TUSL2-C allowed me to overclock P3-866 up to 1266MHz, lol! Worked ok on FSB195, while RAM freq were around PC145MHz (which is way above 133, anyway!)
@@BANDERAZZ07RUS yes but tusl2-c is based on i815 chipset, not via apollo and if i remember corectly it had jumpers for voltage moding memory so 3,3v dram coud run at 3,6v, like my cusl2 -c had. just imagine what late revision celeron tualatin 1,1ghz could do at those clocks, on via however even if bios sayd you had pci running at 33mhz it was runing at 44 when going from fsb 100 to 133 either by jumpers or in the bios and going above that would make it run closer to 50, but covering bsel pins on the cpu somehow it assumes fsb133 is the default and set pci at 33mhz corectly and you could overclock much higher (or overclock celerons with fsb 66 or 100 to 133 on oem boards with no oc)
What's that soft pink thing on the end of your solder sucker? It looks like it's helping you get a better seal to pull the solder out. Is that something I can buy for my solder sucker tool?

Its AUX power, predates the 4 pin P4 AUX. Thise one should have 5V and 3.3V. Even the first generation socket 423 Pentium 4 used it but after that I think it went away when everything went over to 4 pin and later 8 pin 12V power. The plan is to use it in the actual build. Should help keeping the 5V and 3.3V closer to spec on the board, but its really not a big deal tough.
workstation/server ecc motherboards they are built to last much longer than consumer segment, ecc gives better accurate calculations, 3D pc games was programmed for 1cpu core at that time, popular 3d engines like quake or unreal, there is no real advantage of having extra cpu for this purpose, the only real advantage will be realiability of the build.
Great video, really enjoyed that!
Nice repair. Your trick with the white gum for cap replacement is great. Will use that idea on my pentium 4 im working on.
Love those Alpha coolers! Score!
Nice!
Love it!

That was such a great board, system ran for years and years hell it might still be running somewhere I donated it.
Mine (CUVX4-D) is still working even today, great board!

If you use 25mm thick fans on the heatsinks you can use the lower "ears" on them with the included bolts.

so he's using blutac to hold them in place ?
If you mean me it seems to be the English translation YES XD
Also fun fact, electronic cleaner melts it, just in case it gets stuck somewhere.
