PCI-E x8 to PCI-X @66MHz 3Dfx PROJECT

[goriath]

About isolating PIN49b it helps but voodoo5k6 tried it an had problems with his moded adapter, black screen, lock up, so on...

What adapter we are speaking of? PEX8112 or the Pericom one?

PERICOM adapter.

All my adaptors :


Change Agp2Pci :



Chanponzero2Pci :



Chanponzero3Pci :



PCI-E to PCI ( PLX ) :





PCI-E to PCI ( PERICOM ) :





PCI-E x8 to PCI-X ( my project ) :

[voodoo5k6]

With Pericom adaptor (not modded) :

Q6600 @ 3,33 Ghz et Voodoo 5500 PCI @ 166 (default) Mhz :




Conclusion :

@ 3,33 Ghz :

Supermicro adaptor : 3526 marks

Pericom adaptor    : 3277 marks

Again. Have no sense compare the two adaptor since the Pericom not-modded works @33MHz.

I suppose osckhar will give a good feedback with the Pericom working @66MHz + Voodoo5 5500 PCI. I am waiting for his result.

P.S.: I guess you are using latest SFFT drivers, but when post a bencmark, would be nice if you was more detailed about software anvironment (drivers used and whatever).

P.P.S.: Are you able to remove the small heatsink and give as a photo shoot of the bridge used on the supermicro adapter?

@voodoo5k6 : Please mod the pericom adapter to work @66Mhz and post the results !

Great work Michael !

[voodoo5k6]

@goriath :

I can't see the bridge on this adaptor.



I use Koolsmoky Beta drivers. not SFFT.

@m14radu :

Thanks

[m14radu]

can you take the heatsink off ?

[voodoo5k6]

@m14radu :

I can't.

[m14radu]

SSFT drivers are not working ?
Did you try with all your adapters ?

[voodoo5k6]

With Supermicro adaptor + Agp2Pci (66mhz) :
( Koolsmoky beta drivers )

Q6600 @ 3,24 Ghz and Voodoo 5 6000 AGP @ 166 Mhz (default) :

[goriath]

Unless the heatsink is glued to the bridge, you should be able to take the pushpins off and remove it.

[voodoo5k6]

Really I can't.

[m14radu]

is the score that you achieved with the supermicro adapter and voodoo5 6000 better ?
you get 4849 points.

how much you get with the pericom and PLX adapters ?

[voodoo5k6]

@Goriath : for supermicro adaptor the bridge is :

Intel PXH-V :

@m14radu : supermicro adaptor at 66 mhz is better than pericom and plx 8112 adaptor ( 33 mhz )@with voodoo 5 6000.
