There were low profile AGP cards,not many and not too powerful but they did exist. I had an MX440 SE that came with a low profile bracket in case i needed it. Still,as long as you find an AGP card that fits inside the computer you can just cut off the extra metal off the card's bracket
Laura All Nvidia cards did AGP version too, Matrix and ATi too.... same card on PCI ? better ? MX cards were always too cheap, you only needed some card to run windows and DOS, MX was enough for that !
@@lucasrem when i said not many and not too powerful i meant just low profile cards that would fit this case. If he were to put a good AGP card in this computer he would have to remove the bracket and he can't close the lid either and he's limited by the psu too. The MX indeed is pretty crappy but it fits and it won't blow that power supply either
id say your incorrect for both statements. low profile agp did not mean weak(atleast in those days). and low profile agp was not something rare. i have a literal box full of them and they range from really basic ones up to really decent ones
@@chloeprice8 I guess it depends on what is weak and what's not for you. A high end card like a 6800 Ultra or an HD 4830 has no low profile variant on AGP. The bast low profile AGP card i had was a Geforce 6200 which was not that great either
I don't know about you but I do not miss the days of having to hunt down drivers manually. This computer saved you a bunch of heartache by committing capacitor seppuku.
Something about watching videos on the older tech, just trips that nostalgia switch. Stuffing 4 MB into a single mobo was insane lol. Kind of miss building those 286's - 486's then along came the pentium. Was a lot of fun.
I wish I would of recorded getting it fixed, I popped in the new board and it worked great, customer ended getting a dedicated gpu for it and still rocks it!! sleeper build would of been a challenge but def cool!
@@DLMtechgarage intrusion switch is just a security thing that happens when someone opens the door on the case. it throws the pc into a security mode. I think you have to go into the bios to turn it off. my old Dell Optiplex 7010 had his turned off by the time I bought him, so I didn't have to mess with it when I went snooping around inside of it.
These were good computers in their day but that onboard video option is ☠to anyone from that era, even when I was doing my first build I avoided it. I picked up a 3.00E Prescott, an Abit IS7, a 2x256MB DDR-400 Mushkin kit and a Radeon 9200 LE. It was a great workstation computer and stuff like UT, HL2, Minecraft, Osu, Portal, Wolfenstein, ePSXe, they all ran just fine. The system had two main issues: The Prescott was a high power high waste chip that pushed me immediately to water cooling and any amount of overclocking would lunch power supplies rated well into 700W, which seemed to be unfounded or completely insane in the early 2000's. My build suffered mostly from the Radeon 9200 card and it was full size. I don't know about fitting high power cards to Pentium 4 systems for the above reasons but you might be able to find a cheap AH3450 or similar DX10 card that will pop right in. They tend to require some power though. You might be able to use one of those 4-pin power connectors.
great video. I'm a old geezer and a noob. that thing is sooo old. I hardly understood half of the jargon you mentioned about its specs. briefly, I thought you lost your mind with the 256 GB RAM, lol! you are pretty sharp, my friend. definitely. I said, wow, when you mentioned replacing those capacitors. I was riveted to the screen hoping you were going to do it. I'm wanting to go to the next level and start diagnosing and repairing motherboards. I have a soldering kit and multi meter in my shopping cart at Walmart and I think I will practice on this motherboard from my Bluetooth boom box. it has a broken C size charging input. do you have a place to buy PCB parts like that? thanks.
@@DLMtechgarage cool, thanks! I just got the digital multitester that I mentioned earlier. I didn't score my soldering kit, though, I'm about out of operating capital with all the projects that I've got going, lol. I'm spending the last of my cabbage on some business cards. I, got a good laugh out of the nice lady at the printing company when, I said that, I would call back when I figured out the name of my company and what lies I wanted on my cards. 😁 I gotta tell ya, currently, I'm a little disappointed with ebay. I wrote to 3 different sellers trying to get the correct charger for a dead, bad ass, dell latitude that I bought. none responded. their ads claim to have it, but the photos in their ads don't appear to have the correct plug. so, I'm not looking forward to trying to find a part for a printed circuit board. hhhhhhhhhh, lol
aw peak cap plague unfortunately. there's a decent low pro agp card called firegl t2-64 (it's a radeon 9600 pro) but it needs a special cable for vga. the other easily available ones might not be much better than integrated graphics
Try swapping the motherboard for an lga 775 one and stick a pentium 4 in that atleast it will have pcie for easy access to gpu upgrade maybe gt 430 or something low power like that
hey man i was helping my friend build his pc but i never messed with amd much he has a ryzen 5 5600x with his stock cooler hes getting around 50c i dont know why
the cpu does run hot, alot of factors effect the temp, cooler that was used airflow and the thermal paste application. if it's 50c under load that this is not bad, but if it's at idle consider checking the paste or the cooler.

I really hope that AGP slot isn't only for ADD2.

Yes made low profile AGP cards. Does look like HP as common issue on older boards need recap as see lot swollen capacitors cause issue.
Fire extinguisher for EXTRA safety lol, I like it
most def with this old thrown out stuff!! safety third!!!
I have the same sff pc from hp. I upgraded it with a gt 520 low profile graphic card and played a lot of games. My favourite was halo.
I’d like to see a follow up to this to see if you can get it working with the new board.
I did not get to record the new board, but I did pop it in and everything worked fine.
the thing with the two white wires on it is an entrution switch I think
🤔

Dosdude has a native ide ssd conning to market soon. You should keep a couple in stock.
That would be cool
so it seems like recapping time is in order :)
This one looks good !!
Some of those caps by the ram seem very bulged. You might want to check them and others. They should probably be replaced.
I had a new old stock board lying around I found years back that was still good

good to know thanks!!
Near memory slot, there's a bad capacitor..
Like your vids, have a couple projects if interested compaq d530 sff, compaq dc7600 let me know yea or nah i think your the best for the job TY
message me @ dlmtechgarage@gmail.com, but its hard to do stuff like this for people as the shipping cost alone makes it not worth it.

Bro, I was wondering if an IDE to Sata adapter and an SSD would be any benefit?
It does make a difference, but it gets limited by the bus speed. I have done it before and found games to load faster.

There should be a warning at the start of the video for headphone wearers about all the lip smacking that goes on throughout the video.

@@DLMtechgarage okay ill probably need to apply a bit more paste then I’ll just clean it up and do it again
The blown caps are everywhere... How did you miss that?
Didn't pay close enough attention
I don't know I'd categorize this as "fun", LOL.
it's got it's moment, but this old stuff can be a headache.
