VooDoo 4500 heatsink removing???
26.03.06 at 22:35:54

Please could anyone help me? I would like to change standard heatsink and cooler with something bigger and more efficient. Not for overclocking, but just for longer life of my wonderfull card.

My card is: PowerColor The Evil King 4 AGP4, TV-out ( standard, not L-shape)
Please help...

Edit:
ok - i found something about it - let's freeze this card

it works!! after 45 min of freezing !!!
now i have to figure out how to upgrade cooling system

there is no holes for standard coolers so if somebody have any idea just post it here

oh - i don't want to stick cooler with any glue again

( i think it isn't only way)

30 march: well - i sticked my card together with Pentium cooler with Zalman's glue and it works very well!!!
The card is much cooler than before

I had to change cooler and now it works great! Even the top (back) side of my voodoo is much cooler than before.

Drivers incompatibility?

What problems there can be? Drivers incompatibility?

hmm maybe you could try the drivers which Power Color used, of the official 3dfx Voodoo4/5 drivers under 98SE, though I'm not sure if there are sepperate WDM drivers for that problem, my Compaq Voodoo3 3500 has a TV-OUT as well and it has been detected with AmigaMerlin 2.9 and the latest 3dfx Voodoo3 WHQL driver., but since you have a Voodoo4 AmigaMerlin 2.9 might be a good idea as well, and if you are running a NT based OSA like 2000 or XP then I'd suggest give AmigaMerlin 3.1 R11 or the latest 3dfx WHQL driver for Voodoo4 and5 a go

3dfx Voodoo4/5 V1.04.00 Latest Official 3dfx WHQL Drivers for Win98SE

3dfx Voodoo4/5 V1.04.00 Latest Official 3dfx WHQL Drivers for 2000 & XP

AmigaMerlin 2.9 for Win98SE

AmigaMerlin V3.1-R11 for 2000 & XP Latest Release

Well - i didn't took any pictures of "her" Wink

lately. It works fine and i don't want to overclock this card (maybe it give her longer life). Like i wrote before - i just wanted to make my 3dfx cooler - but not for overclocking.
Anyone seen v3 1000 16 MB with 4 Infineon SGRAM memory chips and 4 chips from Siemens on the same board? Isn't it strange? Or rare?
