Remove all 113 Superseded blocks These recorded community theories that were later disproven, but the bare 'Superseded' label read as 'this wiki page was superseded' rather than 'this claim was refuted', and the ambiguity was a bigger liability than the record was worth. Also cleans up after the removal: drops five section headings whose entire body was a Superseded block, renumbers Procedures-Troubleshooting section 9 so it no longer starts at 9.2, and updates the convention tables on Home and Appendix-Methodology, which still documented mkdocs '!!!' syntax and a Superseded convention that no longer exists.
Convert 555 mkdocs admonitions to GitHub alerts GitHub wikis do not implement mkdocs '!!!' syntax, so every admonition on every page rendered as literal '!!! warning ...' text with its body flattened. GitHub does render its own alert blockquotes, verified on this wiki before converting. mkdocs's eight types collapse onto GitHub's five (note/info/abstract/question -> NOTE, tip/success -> TIP, warning -> WARNING, danger -> CAUTION). Custom titles have no slot in a GitHub alert, so each becomes a bold first line inside it. Also removes the temporary render-test page.
Add community field report: four cards at Gen2 x16 on MAASJ105SB7224KFCA01 A community member supplied photographs and logs from four CMP 170HX cards modded with 24x Taiyo Yuden MAASJ105SB7224KFCA01 (220 nF, 6.3 V, X7R, 0402). All four train PCIe 2.0 x16 with zero AER errors. - New field report section with photos, lspci captures, AER counters, bandwidth - Confirms only the AC-coupling capacitors were needed: stock VBIOS, no VRM phases, no strap moves, no backup flash chip, no other footprint touched - Records board revision 180-11001-DAAA-B35, not previously documented - Gen2 x16 status: Experimental (observed once) -> Working, lightly reproduced - Documents that lspci may print 5GT/s (overdriven) when the link speed is forced without rewriting LnkCap; this is normal, not a fault
Correct PCIe AC-coupling capacitor voltage rating: 6.3 V, not 16 V The BOM said "16 V or higher" with 10 V given as the loosest reported floor. Both figures were wrong. Ground truth is page 2 of the circulating a100-unlock.pdf, whose Component Inventory reads: 24pcs - 0402 Capacitor 6.3v .22uF - MAASJ105SB7224KFCA01 Twenty-four parts, matching the capacitor count exactly, from the x16 lane mod that demonstrably worked. Why this was missed: all four pages of that PDF are flat scanned images with no text layer, so the corpus extraction pulled zero characters from it and the wiki was built from the chat logs alone. Where the wrong numbers came from: - 16 V was an incidental property of the Samsung CL05B224KO5NNNC that a builder bought as a substitute. It was never a requirement. That part is now listed as a reported-working substitute rather than the canonical one. - 10 V traces to the CMP 100 guide, a different card, and was mislabelled here as a 170HX owner's floor. Removed. - The only 16 V part in the PDF's inventory is the 10 uF 0805 electrolytic for the VRM, unrelated to the PCIe lanes. Also records why 6.3 V is sufficient: these sit in series with a differential pair and PCIe bounds transmitter DC common mode to 3.6 V.
Publish CMP 170HX wiki: 55 pages plus sidebar Generated from the MkDocs source in docs/. Page content is byte-identical to the source apart from link targets, which are rewritten from relative paths to flat wiki page names. Navigation is in _Sidebar.md. Start at Home. Regenerate with to_github_wiki.py rather than editing pages here directly, so the wiki and the source in docs/ do not drift apart. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
