That's a sweet system you got there. what games are you going to run on it? Also be kind enough to post some benchmark scores if you don't mind :) Btw a electrostatic discharge most likely won't be noticed by you and won't kill your hardware right away, it just may decrease it's life span. Most …

Very nice looking machine, and I dig the attention to details for the "era" (like not putting a Radeon 3850 in there). Out of curiosity did the board not have a retention mechanism for the CPU, or did you have to remove it for compatibility? (I vaguely remember 754 having a similar plastic "bracket" …

On the IHS thing - the pic was the "aha!" moment; didn't think about the extra height it would bring along with it. Now your mounting pictures make sense...very cool.

Nice, man! I forgot there was 4000+ for S754. I like how you handled the mobile CPU's exposed die. Far more elegant than the redneck method I inflicted upon my poor unsuspecting Pentium M: I just ripped the IHS off of a Tualatin Celeron, attached it to the PM with thermal paste and super glue, then …

Yep! there's a 4000+ for socket 754 and I love mine <3 Here's the listing I got mine from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261347197893 There's still some left, $16.93 each with shipping if you're in the USA.

As requested, some benchmarks. At first I wasn't sure yesterday why they were so low, then I suddenly realized that the last Omega Drivers were based on an old driver revision, 60.XX, and then today I re-upgraded it to the latest 93.81 for Windows 2000, and it's A lot faster. The images are resized …

Right, I've got most of my benchmarking done. Still need to do Voodoo 2 and TNT2 on the Pentium III to get my scaling tests done, but I'll get that done this weekend I hope. I'm amazed at how well the G400MAX scales at low detail settings under Quake III. K6-2 Benchmarks.png K6-III Benchmarks.png …

That's an excellent score for an S754/GF6 setup. Interested in adding it to the Mega Thread?

This is very nice 😀. I went through the thread again and realized I haven't plugged my own thread, so I shall do so rather shamelessly 😜. P2/P3 VS K6-3+ - A Great Battle Commences I believe you'll find a lot of the info there quite interesting!

Those are impressive numbers. I can totally see the direct contact helping with cooling and of course using arctic silver on clean surfaces helps. I didn't know to use carb cleaner....good idea...I have a couple cans for an older car I used to have...good to know...thanks. I may use some carb …

I did run Glide on all the UT test on the Voodoo 2 yes. I dunno why they are that low, but as you say, it could be due to the lower clock speed. I've been trying to get my CPU's to run higher speeds, but it's not working well, so I'll leave it. The G400 scores low in 3DMark2000 and later due to lack …

The high quality setting scores of UT under the Tualatin & HD3650 setup are more than that of low quality. I also have seen this trend occassionally but never really understood it. I can only guess that it might be due to the GPU working more and not pestering the CPU frequently thereby reducing its …

I'm going to get a 6800 Ultra AGP this monday, i can't wait to try it! I could never beat your scores though. The best 754 system i got is an really old Athlon 64 3200+ at stock speeds. Thanks for sharing your scores.

Oh mine is already on the way, but i've payed more than that. You don't get good deals from ebay over to Portugal without high shipping costs. Or even worse, the seller won't send to any other country that not his own. Note: Never mind!! You were talking about the CPU right? Fail on me. I plan to …
