<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Slot 1 mainboard from Gigabyte with 440BX chipset.<br /> ==Voodoo 3 compatibility==<br /> Revisions lower than 2.0 of this board can&#039;t supply enough power for some graphics cards such as the Voodoo 3.<br /> The 3.3 V voltage regulator near the AGP slot will eventually fail. Newer revisions apparently have a &quot;Voodoo fix&quot; jumper which connects the AGP slot directly to the ATX power supplies&#039; 3.3 V rail.<br /> ===AGP 3.3V to ATX power connector mod===<br /> Only required on revisions older than rev2.0. The mod instructions were initially published for many affected mainboards by nickles.de in [https://www.nickles.de/artikel/html/30.htm this article].<br /> Unfortunately, when following nickles.de&#039;s instructions for the GA-6BXC, the system will no longer boot. As was pointed out in the nickles.de comments, this is due to the picture instructing to run a wire from the ATX +3.3 V connectors to the wrong voltage regulator (1.5 V). This can easily be corrected by running the wire to the correct voltage regulator instead.<br /> When performing this mod, I would recommend to always check the voltage regulator against mass with a multimeter.<br /> [[File:Gigabyte GA-6BXC rev 1.9 Voodoo mod.jpg|thumb|Corrected mod on rev 1.9]]<br /> [[File:Gigabyte GA-6BXC rev 1.9 Voodoo mod (Solderless).jpg|thumb|Solderless mod - connected to unused P4 connector of modern power supply]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hardware]]</div>
