Two Watercool Heatkiller blocks with custom made plate for install on to a v5 5500. First of these was made in 2001. Only 3 were made. Here is how it looks like after so many years: Front Back - while running with cleaning fluid.

Well yeah but I had to buff it out before taking that shot as to not have fingerprints or other residue.
Here is a group photo of the water blocks i'd like to use for a AMD/3dfx powered H20 system.

The problem I have is that the KT333 mainboards I have don't have enough clear space for the chipset waterblock to be installed.
Anyone can recommend a socketA MB with caps well clear of the chipset?

I see you can choose V5 5500 PCI also and power it up to full bus speed thanks to PCI-X slots! Very good find!

Thanks. Yeah it is universal and works with my V5 AGP with Heatkiller waterblock very well.
The PCI-X slots are multipurpose for me where I can test the V5 PCI or add-in controllers SCSI, SATA...
Still have to modify the case to house everything...

Well I think there was no confusion about that PCI 64-Bit/66Mhz is the base for PCI-X the term and specs can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X
