I proudly present my new baby
It's a voodoo5 with 4ns memories, swapped from a GF2 asus v7100 pro.
Many thanks to Komponent for this amazing mod !
The card in her glory !
The original cooling is very weak.
With it max overclocking was 192Mhz. Target was at least 200Mhz
The next step was to change the coolers with other ones, bigger.
Notice the black higher coolers.
The results were unfortunately the same...max 192Mhz.
Next step: removing the heatsink !
Card was cooled down in the fridge and heatsink were carefully removed. A lot of emotion in this moment
I found a lot of nasty paste....
My aluminum cooler
Also with 2x80mm fans no better results were achieved
Max Overclocking was 193Mhz.
The voltage was set from 2.8V to 3.2V - no change !!!
The card gets very hot, so that a proper cooling is very important !
Below the errors I get ( horizontal lines ):
The next planned step is to use 2 cooper coolers with arctic silver 5 paste
For the rear of the card, I want also to attach a heatsink. Any recommendation for the front and back coolers ?
How far can I go with the voltage rising ? Up to 3.3 V ?
Fell free to comment the project.
Any idea are welcome
