In this video I will recap a ASUS CUV4X DLS motherboard that will be used in my Dual Pentium III build. I take no responsibility if you try anything I do.
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!
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
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.
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?
I have a variant , the ASUS CUR DLS . Unfortunatelyu it doesn't have AGP for graphic cards , and the system won't boot when I add pci graphic cards . the onboard video is 2MB ram only , scroling webpages produces a wobbling effec
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.
what is the other power connector for next to the atx?

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.
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.
That was such a great board, system ran for years and years hell it might still be running somewhere I donated it.

Love it!
Love those Alpha coolers! Score!

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

silicone hose, any RC store should have it.

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.
