Looking to repair this faulty motherboard I was given (thanks Anthony), quite a cool unusual board as it has 32bit PCI, AGP x8 and also PCle! I was told that, it was 'partially recapped' but not working and to try to see if I can repair it. It's an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2

But it's dumping 12v on the VCore output straight into the CPU socket (should be 1.35v). 馃挜

Hey @meeteve - need to raise an issue with you. Could support please get in touch to sort out what鈥檚 happened here? Is there not supposed to be a thermal cutout in this? Even if not, the fuse should have gone. Disappointed and would like to discuss.
