Hi all,

I’m looking for a late-era Socket 3 motherboard with built-in VRM support for 3.3–3.45 V CPUs (DX4 / AMD 5x86 / Cyrix 5x86).
I’m not in a rush — just hoping to find a clean, stable board at a fair price.

Preferred models (but not limited to):

ASUS PVI-486SP3

Biostar MB-8433UUD / UUD-A

FIC 486-GIO-VT2 (the VT2 variant specifically)

Shuttle HOT-433

Soyo 025 / 486I/O2

Chaintech 486SPM / OPTi 895/896 boards

Genoa 486VLG-X4 (with confirmed voltage jumpers)


Requirements:

Must support 3.3/3.45 V CPUs via onboard VRM

Must be working or tested posting

No battery leakage on the PCB (minor trace fixes are fine)

Preferably within the EU (I’m in the Netherlands)


Nice-to-have (not required):

VLB or PCI slots

Manual or jumper chart

Original I/O shield (where applicable)


Not looking for:

Early 5 V–only Socket 3 boards

PCChips / fake-cache variants

Rework projects with heavy Varta damage

OEM-proprietary boards.

I’m looking for realistic Amibay prices, depending on model and condition.
Please feel free to PM me what you have — I’m happy to discuss.

Thanks for reading,
Niels (Netherlands)
 
Not quite there, I'll hold for some more fitting offers, thanks!

Nevermind that, DM sent.
