  1. In terms of the extremely high voltages, I took the proper precautions to ground all of that. By looking at the photos do you know where the coils are?
  2. Hello all and welcome to the Repair Thread for an ESP 400! If you have ever heard of the company Esprit then you are in the 1 percent. If you have ever heard of the ESP 400 you are in the 1 percent of 1 percent. This is what it looks like… It's quite cool when its on. It has that classic orange screen. I have tried and tried to find reference to the ESP 400 on the internet and there is nothing... How I came to own the one I have was because of a colleague that had one which was broken. They offered it to me and so I took advantage of the opportunity. I quickly went home and turned it on only to find that the screen suffered from a vertical collapse. Much like this... I pulled the hood off only to discover black around two parts of the board… Here is a view of the entire board front and back… I want to repair this to work again but have no clue where to start. I first tried to replace one of the resistors but I think I had the values off for the replacement in which may have fried more of the board. Would love to get some opinions on this, am I screwed and how can I fix this?
  3. So I loaded up another game and I am pleased to say that after the BIOS reset it goes to 60 FPS on Ultra with no sweat. So this is officially some problem with Minecraft and not my CPU or GPU at least after the reset. Thank you to all the suggestions and tips on how to fix this! You all are great!
  4. Apparently, something is definitely wrong with my CPU if those videos up their have anything to say. I think its a BIOS setting but I am unsure on what to change to fix a speculated issue.
  5. Alright, so could this be a Motherboard problem or a BIOS config problem?
  6. If you read the first page you will see that sadly Afterburner is all greyed out on my system and will not work. Thank you for the suggestion though.
  7. Alright, thank you for the suggestion! Any suggestions that would work well for a... and dare I say it... (Hackintosh)?
  8. So after a BIOS reset and some setting changes we have improved FPS. Not by much but enough to make me test out other games and benchmarks. The CPU is clocked back up on all 4 cores but games are still a bit... lackluster. That last one changes from 1400 to 4200 when CPU is being used.
  9. Oh boy! Windows will probably break when I change from AHCI to the standard. I'm gonna leave AHCI hopefully that will be ok.
  10. Yes, I have messed with my BIOS and there are probably a couple settings that shouldn't be. BIOS Reset?
  11. Already tried Afterburner but it stayed grayed out and wouldn't let me control anything.
  12. Also to everyone, I guess the time has come. I need a new suggestion for a CPU/Mobo that will max at the performance of an Rx 480. Ignore price point for right now.
  13. Windows High Performance Energy Profile is already enabled. Is this something I should be looking for in the BIOS?
  14. So after increasing Fan Speed using WattMan and bringing the GPU down to I think normal temps we booted a game back up. The FPS still tanks...
