Hello to all, first af all thank you for the existence of this forum, I discovered it only 2 days ago.
I have a question regarding a used p4c800 mainboard I bought few days ago for a retro P4 project that I'm doing.
My system is: p4c800 deluxe, p4 prescott 3.2ghz, Corsair xms twinx platinum series 2-3-3-6, saphire HD3850 agp with modified bios and pencil mod, verbatim ssd 120gb, Audigy 4 sb0610, 650w corsair PSU and a Corsair Spec Delta case.
My previous motherboard was an Asrock p4i65g, not very good in overclocking but I managed to oc the cpu to 3.73ghz with 5:4 multiplier for RAM.
The p4c800 deluxe board had tons of dust that I carefully cleaned out with isopropyl alcohol and comes with 2 smd capacitors off.
My question is if you tkink it's safe to plug in and power, I want to be sure before frying some stuff, it takes 2 years to find all the components for this system.
I resoldered the 2 smd capacitors as good as i can with a regular esd safe iron ( see photos below of the board and the area involved ), I'm concerned about the smd located in the backside of the mainboard under the 875p chipset.
I also populated an empty area with a solid state capacitor ( the red one ),
same volts tolerance half the capacitance, I've seen that is a vmem capacitor.
Waiting for your answers, best regards.
