Nice, a modern motherboard with a P4-era cooler :lol: . Yeah, this Zalman is great for quick testing, fits any IHS-equipped CPU... also no need for retention mechanism - it is heavy enough to just stay in place where I put it. :cool: The only downside is cooling performance, everything over 100W …

Re: Modded Voodoo4

64MB is pretty much useless for voodoo4. For most games performance increase is exactly zero. And if you can find a game where 64MB brings more fps, it will be unplayable anyway. With 5ns (or less) SDRAM, you probably can run it @ 200/200 MHz... which is 20% increase from default and once again …

Ok then. No official support for win 7 on next-gen HW is no big deal imho, 8+ year old OS is simply too old for that kind of hardware. Just like trying to instal win2000 on Nehalem PC. Yes, it might work, but whats the point. I'm sure there will be a way to get it working... just like you can run XP …

Just so you know, next year Microsoft is forcing everyone on skylake in to windows 10, even they're currently today on windows 7. It's already been announced microsoft will de-activate their win7 installs and not let them use their machines unless they upgrade it to win10. Also microsoft is pushing …
