Hi, Recently I got an old Antec case for my Windows 98 build, a SLK3700-BQE. I’ve heard great things about the case and it comes with loads of cool features, but I’m after running into an issue. In order to fit a 5.25 inch drive, drive rails are required. But my case never came with them. I was …

For an adhesive would I be better off using thermal tape or a paste?

The aluminium metal doesn't concern me. It will conduct heat way just fine. What concerns me is the 3M tape on the bottom acting as a potential insulator. There's a reason people use thermal epoxy instead of tape on projects like these. The Epoxy is DESIGNED to channel heat just like thermal paste …

Yeah, I came across that too. It seems like that would be ideal, but I don’t have a 3D printer.

Thank you for all of the suggestions! In the end, I’m probably going to make use both since both options are pretty cheap. While I haven’t had any issues with my Voodoo 2s yet, I’m just making sure they last as long as possible. But when it comes to the heatsinks would taller be better?

Hello! Currently I’m working on a PIII build and I’m putting a Voodoo 2 SLI setup in it, but I’m concerned about them getting to hot. I would use a PCI slot fan but all of the slots are already taken up by other cards. Would screwing a fan to the side panel be just as effective or would I be better …

The bios doesn't seem to have any options for timings, so it's extremely limited compared to a standard 486. I took a quick look at the config map for the board and it looks like JK5 is already set up as 66mhz. Other than Doom I tested Quake which ran at 8.7 fps using the timedemo command. One odd …

Damn, that's a bit of a bummer. But still, thank you everybody for the suggestions!

I checked over all the jumpers and everything seemed to be setup properly. It has a riser with 3 ISA slots and another slot on the back, but I'm not sure what it is. It looks identical to the slot the riser connects into. There doesn't seem to be any turbo button either. If the S3 has a slow …

Sorry for the late response. The motherboard is a UNI486-3SLOT B43003-A. The bios settings were pretty limited but these settings gave me the best performance: Cache: Internal & External Shadow: System Bios 256k Reclocation: No There were also settings to shadow memory at certain addresses but that …

Hi everybody, Recently I got a 486 system and I've been setting it up to run some games. It origially came with an Intel DX2 66 but I thought I might as well upgrade it since I'm going to be playing games like Doom and Duke3D. So I bought an Evergreen Technologies 586 upgrade chip and replaced the …
