A V2 with newer 3dfx logo's are indeed from PowerColor, they were very common here also. An d yeaps your model is a 12meg card, a friend of mine has that one too. 12x 1MB

UPS lost a package that was suppose to be in today, now they claim it was mis-routed to some depot in a hell-hole 3000 miles away and I'll not see it till MAYBE next Tuesday! UGH.

Personally I think the 3dfx fans make the card a bit more 3dfx. The best thing is: I did not put these fans on the card, they came with it...

I like Thermshield fan (fan with 3dfx logo) very much But, i prefer cards with only one (max two) of this fan....[Like Voodoo4 4500; wonderful!!] On Voodoo5 6000, 4 rolling 3dfx fans are too much for me Any way, they are cool, of course

well the most important thing is it does not matter what type of sticker there is on the fan, but if they keep on turning while in operation heh that's my most important part. Roll Eyes

The problem is that the card is faced upside down in the PC so when in use the fans can't be seen that easily, unless there is a case on the market from which you can mount the Mobo upside down so then the Fans can be made visible....

Anyone have an idea for this?

Anyway yes it does look sweet, but it's not a must, ofcourse.
a Voodoo5 5500 with Blorbs looks kinda nice, I must say, Blorbs = Blue Orbs Wink

As you can tell in the picture the pin is crooked cause for some reason the 3DFX post holes are farther apart then the Blorb. it made the pins hit the fan.... No good.

therefore he used Tiewraps instead, always works

over here you can see that the modder filed away some of the Blorb's material to make it fit neatly without hitting the capacitators Wink

and here the difference between AAvid's and Blobs, you will loosea PCI slot when go'n for the Blorbs though.

Reply #89 - 20.05.05 at 06:28:21 I believe i have seen those modded cards go on ebay before. Don't remember it fetching a good price because it is no longer original. But surely, with those kinda fans, it definately cools the card by alot.
