That is truly amazing, that you have a courage to tinker with such a exotic card. Result looks... modern. I am sure that not everyone will like it, but to me your work is just outstanding.

Thanks forteller,
if you think about it all the changes have been applied only on the Dissipatpre and the fans.
The voodoo5 is exactly like when mom 3Dfx made it ...;)
For the rest, I already know that not everyone will like it, but it is my personal search for modernity and performance that I obtained with this excellent Arctic heatsink.

Wow, well done! But is running the fans at full speed really necessary? I think it would perform adequately at 7V. And what's the final frequency as I haven't seen your Zalman results?

Thanks Neo,
The Arctic fan spins from 400rpm to 2000rpm.
I would like to test the connectors of the v5 5500 which should be at 5v 0.13A but I don't know if the voltage allows the right rotation, even minimal ...

These are the last tests I had done with the Zalman:

  (You need to Login or Register

With bios 1.18 166/166mhz @190 mhz stable, without artifacts ...
Obtained with fans that cooled the rear of the V5 and another fan that blew air on the Zalman.

The 196 / 197mhz were obtained using only the Arctic heat sinks mounted on the 3dfx board ...;)

Hmmm... nicely done! Pretty piece of good work. Those two fans, are... so big  ;) so modernish  ::)

Thanks Callahan,
they are large, modern and heavy ... more than 600g ... ;)
For this reason, when I install the V5 5500 in the Case, I will mount a custom 3Dfx Vga Bracket ... ;)
