Parhelia volt. mod. nearly finished! ( with a pencil )

[K6-III]

OK then. Once I add more cooling to the IC's, I should have even better cooling than seen in the pics. We'll see how well it goes....

@Jon P. Inghram
For a labor test exactly the right. Realy good cooling characteristics.

@|Mehen|
At the moment 3 Slots (60*60*45), with the smaller one 2 Slots(50*50*25) and in a short time 0 (Watercooling).

@WyWyWyWy
Exactly Arctic Silver III + Arctic Silver Epoxy

@rylan
Yes, the 4920 is the strongest from Vishay and already in the normal operation very hot.
I don't have power supply schematics also.

No matter what I do I can't get it above 245mhz. Will continue to mess with it....

[Mehen]

nice Scratchi

[Scratchi]

@K6-III
with witch voltage? The card does'n starts up or freeze during the benchmark?

@|Mehen|
thx

cu Itchi

[K6-III]

Freezes during benchmark...

[Scratchi]

I think, the Card is to hot or you have to low voltage...
how much V you have?

My P running stable @272/678

Circuit 1= 2,39V
Circuit 2= 3,42V
Circuit 3= 1,70V
Circuit 4= 3,15V

Hey that's nice. We have similar CPUs and this is a speed that I can operate my R9700 at without getting artifacts (I do get those when going under 260MHz). So we could do a real clock-to-clock comparision of the Parhelia to the R300.

(You run a bit higher FSB and have the faster NForce2 compared to my KT333, but my CPU runs at 20MHz more which should compensate for this a bit).

[Indiana]

OK, here it is:


That's the Parhelia @272/339 vs. the R300@275/337.
The NForce2 helps 3DMark and Quake3 quite a bit, hence the scores in the "CPU-benches" Car Chase and Lobby high detail.

[Novdid]

Good test Indiana!!!

And yes, 3dmark is more of a CPU test than anything else.

[CaineTanathos]

Goddamn not bad

[Mehen]

wow, im amazed at how close the P was, even beating the 9700 in a bunch of tests, impressive. it just goes to show what a shame it was that matrox didnt have a higher clock speed on the P.

[WyWyWyWy]

You see that Game 4 - Nature?
I still am wondering why P performs so bad on this.
Could it be the driver or hardware?

[Mehen]

hey, since dx9 is out, that means theres gonna be a new 3dmark (hopefully), so it will be interesting to see how well the P performs compared to the other cards in dx9 tests. [and it will be interesting to see how far my geforce3 falls behind ]

[Mehen]

yeah, the nature thing with the P is one of the great mysteries of the world, along with the pyramids and michael jackson
