man, this piece of $hit ($hit, i didnt know they had a bann on the word '$hit', sorry kiddies, no harm intended ) burnt out on me ! but surprisingly it still works like a charm !?!
first i heard a pop and i couldnt locate where it came from. then i smell smoke comming out out of my computer, but... it was still working ! then i opened it up and immediately realized that four capacitors burnt up, so i decided to replace them my self.
i guess this tragedy is a result of the combination of overclocking my celeron from 600 to 900 @ 1.85v, and leaving it on 24-7 for the past 3 or 4 months. but still, its only 0.1v past the spec for p3's, since celeron 2 are essentially the same as p3 (i believe they actually use less power at the same voltage due to smaller l2 cache), i would expect my mobo to handle the extra power consumption... plus, what bout all the real crazy freaks that run their cpu to to 2volts !?!?! WHYY MMEE??
anyway, anybody know a good place i can find 10v, 1000uF 105C capacitors? gotta comprimise alittle by attempting to repair this P.O.S cos i already exceeded my x-mas budget...
