Replacing the caps is easily done on a machine like that- it’s all old school, chunky through hole parts. A little bit of soldering skill and some time is all it takes.

I truly cannot wait for the $10k 8090 cards to show up! What a time to be alive.

They made some great sound cards.

That’s cool. I’ve got a Voodoo5 5500(?) from back in the day. I don’t really remember what it was like. What I do remember was the earlier Voodoo pass through card that was my first 3D accelerator, that was a whole new level.

I remember my Canopus Pure3D with it's staggering 6MB of RAM. Mind blowing!

This is great for Intel. NVidia is a rocket, they're looking for some of that to rub off. Assuming the rumour is true and Intel can deliver.

What are temps and voltages looking like in the BIOS? Also, AFAIK it’s always been recommended to clear the BIOS/load defaults after an update.

Sounds like a you problem.

Any Gigabyte BIOS version number that ends in a letter is a beta. Oddly I still see a mix of release and beta versions listed for download for the X570 Aorus Elite including F38h dated December 25th which suggests that an F38 release version should be incoming at some point.

Exactly.

GPU stuff should go in the CPU section?? LOL… Don’t you ever get tired of policing people’s posts? Obviously you don’t, that was a silly question but it seems very unnecessary.

They are called export controls after all…

It's been a VERY long time but if I recall correctly the VIA VT8237 controller on your motherboard doesn't recognize anything other than SATA1 drives. It was a problem fixed with later revisions of the controller (VT8237A (maybe) and VT8237R) I believe. SATA2 and 3 are supposed to default back...
