Lightening strike

[Fire$torm]

Thanks for all the info. I usually use Asus AI Suite II and just let it go. Right now it is running my 2600K at 4.3 and 67 degrees under full Boinc load.
2nd thought....if anyone has the means to repair and use the P5QL I would be happy to give it away for shipping. I have cd and the manual to go with it. Send me a PM and as soon as I get it out of the box I can get it packaged up and have the wife ship it.

Hey c303a, great idea offering it to the team. I'll look up some pics of that MB just to get an idea. If no one else PMs you, I'd be interested for sure.

Fire$torm might be able to do it! He's pretty good with soldering electronics. Probably depends on how many pins are coming out of that chip - well, that will determine the time it will take at least.

Thanks for the vote of confidence bro As to the chip, that is what makes the challenge so much fun. Most BIOS chips have 16 pins or less as I recall, so not a big issue. I do have some GPUs on my "Things To Fix" list but should have them out of the way in a week or two.
