@Oscar: Try using copper-tape under the cover of the socket to increase the pressure on the chip. This might help to get a plain contact to the pins of the socket. If it doesn't help no problem, the tape can be easily removed.

Holy cow what a great find! So that's 3 Rampage cards in collector hands now? I am supremely jealous.

Good luck with the card! Congratulations!

Thanks at all!

I added the 2 new balls but sadly chip does not work yet! Sad

CHIP WITHOUT 2 BALLS
...

BALLS FIXED

CLEANING CHIP
...

At the moment chip does not work.

@Dominik, I am thinking to use a 'clamp' for getting more pressure.

Tonight more test.

Regards,
Oscar.

The Clamp tool should look like this one :

...

If you look closely on the first picture, the heatsink is used in combination with the clamp.

@Radu,
For me that kind of clamp is very agressive. I have checked the balls under microscope and they are really deteriorated even some balls has some missing part. I think the cause is for using such clamp. I will try to take some pictures from the rampage balls. I am thinking to use some tool less agressive though.

Test socket uses a kind of golden test in U shape, it is not plane. So, it is very agressive for the balls.

Regards,
Oscar.

Oscar, try planing the balls of the chip with very fine (600 grit) sandpaper on a sheet of flat glass or a mirror.

Is it leaded solder or unleaded? Undecided

It REALLY should be leaded, as unleaded is what causes micro-fractures (i.e. the cause of RROD in X360) Wink

Maybe re-ball the whole chip?!

I agree, that would be the best choice: take all the "balls" from the chip and replace them with fresh balls (try to find leaded balls, *not* "lead free", those sucks)

Reballing- I would need to find a right stencil 40x40mm pitch 0.76mm. I think with a standard stencil would be enough for doing the reballing but before I will try to leave the balls surface as straight as possible with sandpaper. Yes, balls are leaded.

Rampage- At the moment Rampy does not want boots up. Seems as the chip does not get hot once connected. Now trying to find if chip takes voltage from agp connection or internal power supply but the first to do is check if really all the gold pins are in touch with PCB pads.

Here some pics.

Cleaning with ultrasonic.
...

Engineers did some relief on the test socket with dremel tool for avoiding resistor pack.

Nice pics, please make one of the PCB and without the socket Smiley

From what I know the Rampage should be powered only by AGP, connecting the molex power will damage the card.

Does Michels Rampage chip work with your PCB?

Hank said VERY bad things would happen if you tried to plug that in.

Yes, but I am talking about INTERSIL SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY HP6012CB 25A continous current. There are 4 on board to power various power rails. Not sure if Rampage chip takes the current from those or all from agp connection.

Michel's Chip does not work on my card either.

Yes, I will take some pictures without test socket onto the card.

Regards,
Oscar.
