do ya have something other then a hdd hooked up to that cable and is it on master or slave?
try only with hdd
you have 2 ide channels test it on the other one.

in bios set ide channel to auto

I was not using a HDD i was using a Compact Flash card.I will try bios set ide channel to auto thanks basco. I don,t know why it stops verifying though

though.

Didn't see this posted. Voodoo2 on a modern Intel platform (with a board which has a PCI slot)

The wonders of All-In-Wonder.

Already ordered some heatsinks from Ali for the RAM chips, and I think I have a ridiculously huge cooler (that looks like it's been made for either a X1000 series card or HD3600/4600), just in case the OEM one ain't cutting it.

Try unlocking the other 4 pipelines.

Yeah, Omega drivers or a modified ati2mtag.sys

Not yet... at least not until I'm 100% sure it's stable as it is right now.

Yeah, ofc make sure it works as sadly R300/R350 cards don't last forever, or I've just had bad luck with these. :|

I've had much better luck with X800 series cards (both AGP and PCIe)

 

[MaxiPro800]

Yeah, mine wasn't trouble free either - I had to reflow the RAM chips on the top side and some RAMsinks are top priority above everything else to be done with it. So far it's artefact free but the RAM chips get fiercely hot during normal operation.

The other R300 card I have, a Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 Pro, survived for a long time, but it's fairly clear why - every inch of VRAM is covered by blue RAMsinks

My Monitor has built in speakers ,but i have no sound on XP, all the stuff iis greyed out to do with sound.Sound only seems to work with my Windows 11 pc.

the guys voice is very anoying ,but he does do informative videos

Here is the photo all greyed out Funny enough the sound works on Vista
1990
No sound

Windows Default
only
Tried to load Snappy Drivers but it froze .Success this time whether or not it will load the sound device is another thing.Still no sound but it has un greyed out.

I have tried this kids video ,but enable all is greyed out.

i disabled all then clicked enable all and it went back to Disable allAllso 3d mark 2001 crashes I can,t download anything on here as it is the intergal verison 2019 with Baslisk browser.

Have you tried using another IDE Cable?

The catch of yesterday:

Promised some GT 430 action previously. Just need to reinstall Win10 to that rig as I put a better SSD for it.

This is the only codec and it says it is currently unavailable

Lol....

" DIGI+ DRAM" "GPU BOOST" "USB3.0 BOOST" "DIRECTX11 SUPPORT" "AUTO TUNING" "Turbo V" "SATA 6Gb/S

Thats a lot of advertising on a board

Wonder who let the designer of that board unsupervised

 

[Courier 6]

Just something to watch, if you don´t have anything else to do lol

 

[Ruru]

Got surprised how hot Ivy runs. A terrible heater when compared to Sandy.

Gotta benchmark the GT 430 (and other old GPUs) with a tame 4GHz clockspeed just to have its temps under control. And it's delidded of course.

That was a good episode. Neil is a boss!

If I ever visit UK, I gotta remember to book in visit in the Cave.

Does anyone have a reference X1900XTX? Can you check the VRM temps in GPUz for me? On my card the VRMs can go up to 110°C apparently.

Short answer, find a way to cool those mosfets!

ATI failed on that front from what I can see on the interwebz, it's a very hot card all around. The stock heatsink is untouched, and hot air from the GPU blown over the VRM by default.

I am trying to get a system on a CF card.
Can someone look at my post about trying to get a system on two Retro Boards which are having the same problems .I have photos of all the steps i have gone through on there.How do i get a secondary Master into a Primary drive?

Wrong (WRT air-path).
Fan sucks air from the computer case and blows it out back through the grill. Air thusly goes through the VRM heatsink (if you can call it that) and into GPU cooler under Ruby's tits but VRM's aren't cooled properly.
I had two X1900XTX cards die with such a crappy VRM cooler - it gets so hot it gets all discolored from heat (from red to white-ish). On the third card I made a cardboard extension channel around the VRM "cooler" and it helped some. I still have all 4 of my X1900XT/X cards - last really good GPU (without 16-bit color banding anywhere due to internal 24-bit processing).

 

[3x0]

Wrong.
Fan sucks air from the computer case and blows it out back through the grill.

Then I misunderstood the fan shape and rotation. Since it rotates clockwise, it looks like the fan "scoops" the air with the inner blade surface and pushes it down and right through the GPU cooler fins.
Thanks for the info
