Scrapyard find: AMD Athlon and a Jetway 771AS motherboard

Bits und Bolts 13 min Published Dec 2023

About this video

Bulging capacitors on a Jetway 771AS Slot A motherboard are swapped out, and the Athlon that came fitted to it is tested afterwards.

Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead. Sponsored by PCBWay.

Why watch it

Slot A hardware turns up with a matching CPU already fitted. The maker notes the Athlon was the first CPU to reach 1,000 MHz and was not faster clock for clock than the Pentium III.
