Looks like the GLUE chip is going to be dead at minimum. +1 to what the others said. There are still salvageable chips on that board so there is still some value. You can make it a fun project if you want to learn and have patience or sell it for parts. Exactly what the others said. Clean it...

+1, I love the kit. Really well done.

Basically yes, but hoping someone responds here that has done it and been successful or failed, and might have additional tips. I remember seeing this a few years back but decided to keep mine stock so never tried. http://www.applefool.com/clockchipping/iifx.html

Depends on whether you are attempting to reuse the logic board and just replacing the CRT or whether you are just using the case and replacing all the guts. But look up @zigzagjoe’s LCD panel upgrade for SE/30s and that might give you some ideas on the mount. He has a 3D printable mount that...

I remember seeing notes of varying degrees of success online, some folks having replaced the cpu and fpu with higher rated versions to achieve it. As usual with over clocking, depends on the components on your particular logic board (not just cpu) and whether they will be stable at higher clock...

That looks to be damage caused by a blown C1 capacitor which is common. The stock board had a 16V/47uf tantalum there and it should have been a 25v/47uf tantalum. The L3 component you lost is an inductor. Not sure what else is damaged but check the schematics which are online and then check all...

I got time to swap SCSI chips with one from a IIci (same part number) and determined that the SCSI chip is faulty as the issue followed the chip and now my IIci has the issue instead of my SE/30. The resistor is acting as a pull up to help the chip but the fault lies inside the chip somewhere...

I am on the road so can’t check the pin numbers but yes, I placed a 470 ohm resistor across REQ and TERMPOWER, and also two caps, a 2.2uF and a 0.1uF across TERMPOWER and ground. But in my case just the resistor helped. I am still going to debug further and try swapping scsi chips etc. But...

Nice!

@CaseyAC, I recently picked up a second SE/30 and unlike my first one, this second one seems to be experiencing the same problem you are reporting (although note that I'm using a ZuluSCSI whereas you are using a BlueSCSI). I was able to run through a bunch of debugging steps and narrow down the...

Something like this wouldn't work? https://www.amazon.com/Gdstime-Brushless-Cooling-Blower-Bearing/dp/B075R2CJH8 Essentially 90 degree fans like what are used inside laptops.

I have provided the models on my Printables page also linked in my signature. Free for anyone to download and print.

For mine, I put a thin border of thermal tape (2mm wide) around the edges and then had thermal paste in the middle.

Glad it worked for you @JDW !

Oh and as Phipli mentioned, if you installed them backwards, you probably should get new ones and not reuse the ones that were reversed.
