hmm, maybe you guys can explain to me more about heat sinks for video cards. I read somewhere, possible here, that Voodoo 3's get pretty hot, and since they don't have a fan monted like many modern ATI video cards, they tend to get hot.

The voodoo 3 3000 agp I have looks like it has a heat sink on it, I'm wondering how could I cool it off more? or is that not a heat sink?

I have used Heat Sinks for ram, aluminum. I don't know anything about heat sinks for video cards.

If someone could eleborate that for me, that'a be jake

Yes, the Orange and the Crystal have almost exactly the same cooling performance (the Crystal gets about 0,1°C cooler).

For your Voodoo3 3000 AGP: you can just leave the original heatsink on, but since the AGP variant has two mounting holes on the PCB (look close, the PCI doesn't have them!), you can remove the big silver one and go for a solution with a cooler.

That's what I'm trying to find, but be aware that finding a cooler for Voodoo cards isn't such an easy task!

That's why the Orange would be the hugely best option. BTW Obi, the Dutch site which looks like it sells Orange Orbs doesn't have them anymore, just received their answer.

Obi I was looking at that Zalman brand. Do you think this is compatable with a STB voodoo 3 3000 agp http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118216
It's a Zalman ZM80D-HP That looks like it can really cool off a graphics board, and like you, I'd rather pay a little more for something that works good.
If you know that is compatable how would I go about removing the heatsink thats on the voodoo 3?

Thanx dude

I don't know if the mounting holes on a V3 3k AGP will fit; if not, you can always use the thermal/adhesive tape that'll come with the cooling solution (usually).

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: Thermaltake Orange and Golden Orbs Reply #27 - 23.08.05 at 11:53:52 @ TM30, Lucidtomr also asked how to remove the original V3 heatsink, I was thinking by loosening the mounting clips, or is there aslo some adhessive thermal tape present? Is that the Zalman CU7000 Heatpipe cooler, or am I alittle confused here? But anyways the result gives a great look also, looks nice
