Blank spot left in the PCB so a "big momma" heatsink assembly could be mounted.

If you look, there are four locations around the GPU's for mounting a large cooler.

A side note- For whatever reason the prototype cooler and heatsink assemblies had NEVER been installed on a V5-6000, the picture you see is the first. I'll have more when the card comes in and the install is tuned up a bit.

Rampage is alive!

Reply #4 - 15.05.05 at 18:39:40 hahahaha, very true, never thought of it that way until u mentioned it. Indeed you are right. I wonder if it will be a good investment for the future. Gold is stable. How about Voodoo... 10 years down the road are people still going to be talking about 3dfx?.. hmm

Thanks Gary,

I knew you would know. I viewed about five 3700's @ the galley.ch and everyone of them had it. They are not identical but they are there none the less. When I saw it on mine, I was about to use some nail polish remover to take it off. I am glad now I checked first.

It looks as though you'll need to drill a hole in that area to mount the Heatsink. A scary thought if you asked me ???
