haha,nice modification ;D

by the way, is there any problem when you replaced the original fans with heatsink?

any overlock?

absolutely no problems... the holes for the heatsinks of the voodoo 3 matches the holes of the voodoo 5 exactly... i didnt modify anything on the heatsinks...

overclocking? i do not think that i will get more mhz just with better coolers... if i make a volt mod on it, sure it will help... but then i will put a big fan in front of the voodoo 5...

Great ;D

This is what 3dfx had to do back then. No clumsy glue attached heatsinks but thermalpaste and a heatsink using the "clamping pins".

Are the V3 heatsinks able to handle the heat of the dual VSA-100 chips ? (I think they do but you'll never know ;))

the fan on the V 3 3000 is good
helps keep the temps down,
through my experience, the heatsink on my v3 2000, wasn't enough to survive long hours of gaming in a closed case, with Malaysian weather.

very nice, same idea i used, i really like the v3 heatsinks on the v5, gives it that stock look.[img=http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/8190/bfg0577zu.th.jpg]

well the idea is qute ideal if you want a quiet system with a powerfull Voodoo5 5500.

I suppose cooling a 6K like this would be impossible, I'm just speculating this.

Point is, there are no holes near the GPU on my V3 3k PCI!

Nice pics by the way!!!

The question that bugs me is how you got the old epoxy off the V5 cores. When I popped my heatsinks off for my Voodoo 5500 P3 cooler mod there was old epoxy on the core and I couldn't get it all off.

I use 100% acetone and a bit of elbow grease of course and I have always been able to get every trace of epoxy off 8)

hmm, i must be lucky at least 95% of glue stay on the heatsink when i remove them, not sure if its the technique of getting them off(never tried the screew drive) or the amount of time in the freezer, whatever i have left i razor blade off.
