    I just love buying lots like this. Just won an auction for a bulk lot of cards that had a voodoo banshee hiding in it. $20 shipped to my house for a banshee, and I get all the other stuff. Tremendous value buying this kind of bulk lot, but you do get a lot of junk and trash.

    I used to have an AM3 board with nforce 630a about 12 years ago....that chipset ran so hot it was mostly 50-60C all of the time
    Eventually i sold that board after 1 or 2 years while it was still working cause those temps were gonna kill that board eventually

    The copper heat sinks. Such a lovely looking thing. I was hoping it wouldn't bbe a bad board. I do wonder if that couldn't be fitted to something else. Such a waste of all that lovely golden copper. OTOH it would indeed look good on the wall.

    Nice little haul of assorted parts, too bad the nforce board is dead. What I'm most appalled about is the packaging job though. It was just thrown into a box some newspaper! That's not an ok way to ship pc parts.

    Recently got a M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe as well. Those chipsets run so hot. And unfortunately whoever owned it prior to me, thought it would be a good idea to use thermal epoxy on the chipset. So not only does mine run so hot that its unusable. But it also can now never be repasted 😢

    run my Q9650 overclocked to 4.2ghz and my 4 sticks of ram to 1860mhz with very conservative voltages with just a little GTL Vref tuning.
    was my first fully watercooled rig and it's been running since pretty much 2008/2009 without any issues.

    It was clear from the moment you bought an ASsus nforce 680 or 780 board, that it would be dead. Reason is, ASsus cooling solution for that era of nforce chipsets was bull crap and those got all baked and burnt.
    If YOU truly want a working nforce 680i or 780i board 775 or am2+3, then look out for evga boards. Those had big chunky chipsets coolers with a fan clamped on top. I know what I'm talking about, I had an ASsus striker extreme (baked to death 680i) and STILL have an evga nforce 780i SLI ftw board in WORKING condition with ocz 1066mhz ddr2 rams.

      @@RETROHardware : Well, better cap failure, than chip failure. I take recapping a board anyday over trying to resurrect a faulty ddr2 northbridge or southbridge and I guess you would do too.
      Anyway, why would one rip off pciex16 slot from a board? That gigabyte z87 ud3 is a poor board, snip off the left behind pins, try it out, maybe it still lives. A pciex16 slot isnt hard to replace if the solder through holes are properly sucked out. Don't use a hot air gun to unsolder the pins, it will warp the board before you even get close to melting point of leaded solder. Use proper iron and vacuum pump, use proper iron for resoldering the pcie slot.

      Board without main PCIE has destroyed CPU socket so it is pointless to do anything there.
