I haven't built in the MP3000 yet, cause I haven't modded it yet AND I haven't found a 2nd one yet Sad

I did however, for fun, test the cpu on my Abit NF7-S nForce2 board and was pleasantly suprised that the cpu runs stable @ 2.6Ghz with only 1.725V Vcore, that is 0.05V higher then default, and it ran that on a 400Mhz fsb

Only downside is I can't put my 5500 in that rig cause of the wrong agp voltage Sad

In the mean time, I bought a really cheap watercooling case, Koolance for socket A, I put my XP-M3000+ on my NF7-S board to test and she runs 2500Mhz at the moment @ 1.7V vcore

you she runs great, will be doing a few benchmarks, altho I'm bummed I can't put my 5500 in this rig, that would be awesome

Runs with a Radeon 8500 and Voodoo2 12MB SLI.

I think I will install the 3000+ on the A7M266-D anyway and see how far she'll go on that board, and when I ever do find a 2nd one, I'll add it.

Multiplier is unlocked on the 3000+ up to 19x I think where default is 16 if I'm not mistaken.

ultima God Member Offline Always searching Posts: 876 The Netherlands Gender:	Re: Going retro gaming with 3DFX Reply #24 - 08.08.12 at 11:53:26 I'd love to have a PCI 5500, but the only ones I've been able to find are too expensive. Cheapest I've been able to find is like 50 euros and I don't wanna pay that for it. I know it's worth it, but still..... I found this 5500AGP for 17 euros, so....

probably overheat. LOL

I on the other hand am not so lucky......I had the cpu running at 2.5Ghz and went for a dogwalk. when I came back, the machine was off and I felt wetness at the bottom of the case. Angry

And sure enough, it wouldn't start, not even out of the case and with aircooler.

Lucky for me I also have an Epox 8RDA+ nForce2 board, so I put the cpu and ram on there and lucky for me she runs again, so it seems only the mainboard is screwed. Sad

The board I don't mind so much but I need to know where the leak is so I can fix it.

I'm sure you'll see it My Core i7 is also watercooled (Highflow.nl). The setup now is about 2 years old, never had a leak, never needed maintenance .... yet
