Hi
I put a 5500/225 board in my 630CD, but I didn't add a PCI card just to avoid any problems. I don't think the issue is the total amount of voltage. It has to do with a separate voltage line to the logic board for the PCI slot power.
I have tried starting the 630 with a 5400/160. I didn't use ANY PCI cards even removed video and comm slot - the board was empty but the RAM. It didn't work. The fan started spinning but I didn't get no chime nor anything else. I will try a 5500/250 any day now if it makes a difference.
Is there anyone that has built a voltage regulator to turn the 630 power supply into something suitable for a PCI motherboard?
Regards, Boris
