Hey everyone  :)
I just finished my v5500 mod, card still alive, ill send in some photo's if falconfly would be nice enough to post em for me tomorrow, anyways the mod looks good, card was running at 180 stock with np so ill try and bring it up alittle just to see if this mod did anything as far as performance, hope everyone is doing well, cheers  :D

Alright, here's the imagery you submitted :)

Well ty Falconfly for your help getting the photo's up for me :P

This is my v5500 modded card, the front side is the same old thing but on the back i have put a non-conductive thermal pad to a aluminum riser which is then artic silver3 glued to the heatsinkfan combo, it thought this my help reduce the rear heat issue and let me get to 200.

Well in benchmarx 4.0 i ran at 201 n/p, but that test is so small, so i went to the 2001se test without a problem all the way to 195, and i was sure 200 would be n/p also but i was wrong, i started getting little light more and more as it went so i shut down.i have one more trick to try on this modded card but only if its the chips that are causing the problem, if its the memory im outta luck, so please if you know what cause the lights to appear let me know, ty ???

My V5 Mod has reached 198/198Mhz but I've had to remove one of the GPU heatsinks as the thermal epoxy was only making point contact.  :-[

Nice looking mod there though.  :)

I've been using old PII/PIII SEC heatsinks sawn down to fit.  With a loom consisting of two 12V 8000RPM fans.

Haven't really got any hard data yet.  I'll put up some images in the future when it's back in one piece. :'(

I'd thought about coolers for the rear, perhaps ceramics?

ceramic,  thats a good idea, who makes a ceramic cooler and how good is it, im thinking of petiers. Patience this card has the 5ns memory on it, thou im not sure if that makes any difference ???

I have 2 v5500 with the 5ns memory, from what i have been told there was 3 different memory from 5ns, 5,5ns and 6ns, im not sure about that though cause i only have the 5ns on these 2 cards :P

My friend make voltage mode on my Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
Now wait on Epox with KT333 (AGP 2x 3,3v  ;) )

I must make water cooling on GPU,becose temperature with voltage mode is very high  ;D

What does that due? ::)

Hmm...this seems interesting Katoo! :D

Could you post some CLEARER pictures and some instructions on how this was done! ???

Cheers! 8)

first:my english is wery bad,sorry

This vcore mode made my freinds  ;)
Now i wait on new mobo with AGP 3,3V(Epox + KT333  :) )

I must make better cooling GPU and memory.

Katoo

Someone tell me why it would help to change the voltage please :-[

As far as I know, raising the Voltage gives an edge, when the CPU/GPU/Mem is hitting its limits on standard Voltage.

Advantage :
A few % of gained MHz

Disadvantage :
- increased core Temperature
- decreased lifetime
- highly increased risk of destroying it because of electron migration (at a certain level of Overvoltage, this effect even takes place despite Nitrogen cooling, and cannot be controlled)

ah, ty falconfly  :)

Has somebody a link to explain how to make the "volt mod" on Voodoo5 ? I want to do it on my Voodoo5 !
Thanks

Nobody knows how to do this volt-mod ?  :-/

well i got a new v5500 mod, i put 2 of those copper ti4600 coolers on, seems to work well, played c.o.d. multiplayer for 1/2 hour and did the whole single player without a prob :P with it running at 196, those orbs were nice looking but i think they didnt work all that well
