Custom capacitor combination for a BP6

I'd like to get some opinions on if this is a good capacitor upgrade for a BP6. Quite a few are changed to higher value caps. I read through several capacitor upgrade articles here and at www.badcaps.net, and this is what I've come up with: Stock caps: 12 - 6.3 volt 1500 uF 12 - 6.3 volt 1000 uF 8 -...

Bad cap on an RMA 'd BP6!

I sent my BP6 to Abit in early January for an RMA job. I got it back and it's been running fine. I've got 2 533 Celerons in it overclocked to 600 Mhz (75 FSB), and both CPU's are loaded 100% with seperate instances of folding@home. The BP6 has been running pretty much non-stop for 2 months now. I wa...

Yes, when I RMA'd my BP6, they told me that someone else was actually doing the rebuilding work. Those boards may get rebuilt eventually, it's just a question of when it will actually happen. My replacement BP6 has been running 2 533's @ 600 for about 7-8 weeks now doing folding@home at 100% cpu loa...

Can I mix ECC and non ECC memory?

Can I use Error Correction memory on my BP6? Can I mix in a stick or 2 of Error Correction (ECC) with non ECC memory? Or does it all have to be non ECC memory?

This BP6 system is still up for sale. It's been running steadily for a month now with folding@home going at 100%. Never a crash or problem ever.

To the guy in Australia - I emailed you to see if you were still interested a few days ago.

Sorry about the triple post. I was hitting the Submit button and nothing seemed to be happening. My MB is a fresh Abit RMA unit. Why is this site always so slow and laggy? Is it run by a BP6 with a pair of 300 Celerons and 64 MB RAM or something? Even when I'm going to it on a cable modem and a 2.2 ...

Which temperature sensors are which in MBM 4.18?

I've got my BP6 running 2 533's @ 600, and it runs good. No problems at all so far in 3+ weeks of up time. I'm using MBM 4.18 to monitor temperatures, but I'm not sure which is which. When I installed MBM, it asked me to specify which 3 sensors to use to gets temperatures with. I selected Winbond 1,...

Yeah, man. This is a fully rebuilt Abit RMA board that is in a computer and working right NOW! This isn't some POS that someone said "they pulled out of an old computer and it was working good 3 years ago".

I'm surprised no one has grabbed it yet.

Nah, there's plenty of computer websites for that. I was supposed to film #93 today, but it will be done tomorrow.

What would I say about them anyway, except that mine is for sale?

I got it working when I selected the BP6 option.

Only one more question - how do I get the CPU Speed to show up on the left hand side? I looked all over the various buttons and didn't see it anywhere. Maybe I was looking for the wrong thing.

It looks like everyone is wrong who said that MBM 4.18 would show the correct voltage for CPU1. It still shows right around 1.50 volts, while CPU0 is at 2 volts. But at least MBM 4.18 gave me back my temperature readings and fan rpms. Yes, I figured out how to install it. I downloaded the free versi...

Uhh..... I think I did. Right click on it and hit Open, right? Then what? Or something else? It asks for a program to use to open it and then I can't get anywhere with opening it. And why does MBM 5.3.7 not show temperatures and fan speeds now? I got it to show 1 temp and 1 fan speed, but that's all.

I got it, but it won't install. It comes as a .zip file, but I don't know what program to use to install it. I think something is missing from it that allows it to install normally.

I got 5.3.7 installed, but now it won't show anything for CPU temps or fan rpms.

Should I put the computer back to single processor, install 5.3.7, and then re-enable SMP?

MBM 4.18 / 5.3.7 / CPU-Z installation problems.

Now that I have SMP working on my BP6, MBM 5.3.7 won't install. It keeps saying there's an error in some file, an IO error or something. It installed fine when I was running in single processor mode. The links I saw for MBM 4.18 don't work. I can download the file, but it won't install. It keeps ask...

That worked. Once in Device Manager I had to update the driver. It has drivers for single and multi processor boards. So I just changed it and it works fine in SMP now. Now I need a copy of MBM 4.18.

Yes, in the startup screen it shows 2 processors. And I'm using 2000 Pro, so it can use them both. But it isn't right now.
