Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

Now I need to decide if to keep this case, or move everything in the H5 FLOW. This is how the sytem currently looks (H7 FLOW): S35.jpg And here it is next to the H5 case: S36.jpg S37.jpg The H5 is smaller, weighs less, and also doesn't have that perforated area above the PSU, which looks a bit nasty …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

@allesclar @ubiq Thanks! @Grem Five I will try a NEC one if I find one. For the moment it doesn't bother me that much, I'll just use it for transferring data, and the USB1.1 ports for input devices. The system got a nice sound upgrade, I'd like to thank hard1k for advising me to get this combo (I …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

@Bruno128 Thanks for that! I wasn't aware of the performance impact of USB2.0 cards. I ran some benchmarks, and got the following results: 3DMark 99 MAX 1. No USB 2.0 card plugged in 2323 3DMarks 2738 CPU 3DMarks 2. USB 2.0 card plugged in, nothing plugged in it 2291 3DMarks 2714 CPU 3DMarks 3. USB …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

New bearings arrived today, and now the fans work properly and aren't that noisy anymore. This is what I got: S25.jpg For an USB card I got this: S26.jpg The case has two top USB ports, and I wanted to be able to use them, so I removed two of the USB connectors on the card (and the "extra" one that …

@DarthSun The memdriver didn't really work for me, I had to undo the changes. The system has 16GB installed, but I limited it to 512MB from system.ini @mihai Yes, it works well under XP on the same machine. I did try changing the amount of iGPU allocated RAM, and also disabled it and used an …

I tried with Loew's SATA AHCI/mem(W98 fails to boot with it)/ USB, KernelEx, Intel ICH10/X58, i740 graphics card (onboard was disabled) with or without external PCIe to PCI bridge (XIO2001). Same result. I have not tried with the unofficial service pack yet.

Re: Voodoo 2 SLI & Z77 MB & W98SE problems

Thanks for all that info! The 2D card is running with the generic VGA driver, there isn't a driver for W98. I tried with newer DirectX version, 7.0A, 8.0, 8.1B, and it didn't make a difference. I'll try installing the Loew drivers, KernelEx and see if it helps. Right after I reinstall W98, as I just …

Voodoo 2 SLI & Z77 MB & W98SE problems

in Marvin \ Video
Hello, The motherboard is an Asrock Z77 Extreme4, with 2 PCI slots (via some Asmedia PCIe to PCI bridge). 20240229_163606.jpg If a single Voodoo 2 card is installed, regardless of the PCI slot, it works fine. P1.jpg If two Voodoo 2 cards are installed (with or without the SLI bridge), right clicking …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

I didn't want to have the case fans running at full blast all the time, so I got this PWM+ARGB hub: S23.jpg And a Noctua NA-FC1 fan controller: S25.jpg I should have first checked the case fans. They were all 3 pin, and weren't compatible either with the Noctua controller or with the hub thing. So …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

I built one of these computers back around 1998-99 I used the Intel Motherboard and Pentium-ll@333mhs Dual CPUs 64mb SDRAM and Dual Fast SCSI hard drives. ( 4gb each ) I remember it was a little loud because of the SCSI hard drives. I had installed Sun Solaris but the Motherboard also supports …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

And I managed to remove the heatsink from the heatspreader. Torx really doesn't feel right, I almost stripped one, but a number 2 hex driver shoved in far enough is perfect. I could reuse the screws/rivets with no problem. S18.jpg S19.jpg Now there's fresh TIM between CPU-heatspreader-heatsink.

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

@mln It's a bit too late, I just got the case :) Maybe an external SCSI drive? @ChrisK Thank you for that! That's the best option before doing damage to these CPUs. I removed the fan and measured the bearings. Each fan has two of them, and they are identical. If anyone has this CPU and wants to …

Re: Dual Slot 1 440FX build

@H3nrik V! You're right, the Obisidian is already sagged. I'll make some kind of support for both it and the S3. @luckybob The jumpers are set correctly. I thought those rivets look like a torx would fit in there, but was afraid to break them off while removing. I'll remove them when I maintenance …
