already got one for my v3 3500, they have 2 sizes at the local frys( its like a giant best buy and electronics store in one) pretty cheap really, i thought they would be more.

have you ever used one?, my brother had one on his p3, this is my first shot at using one.

I got mine for 19.99 new, not sure how long they last. im trying to find a heatsink big enough now to take away the peltier heat.

i think the peltier is a good idea, just need to have a heatsink to make it worth it, now if you put a water block on your peltier i hear thats the way togo, only reason ive never tried it is v5's ram wont go over 200 stable for me, this v3 3500 with 5ns ram seems more interesting. that all said, what do you think is your limiting part, the ram or 3dfx chip? i think all the 3dfx chips could go higher its the cheap a$$ ram that holds them back.

ok, now gary how are you gona swap out this ram? ive got 4 5.5 chips and 4 more ill be in shape for my v5, are you gonna do this your self?

as for the peltier i wish i had some more experience, i was thinking before of getting a copper plate to cover 3dfx chips and ram all at once then putting a couple peltiers on that and then the heatsinks, that way id have a cold plate so to speak, not sure how it would work though

A local friend of mine does electronic work.

Early stuff is pretty easy to do as the pins are small in count and large in size, I don't think he can do the later stuff.

I like the idea of a copper plate, perhaps I'll obtain one to bridge the two chips and a single peltier unit in the center.

Hey, pretty happy today, first try with the pelt and all went well, i wanted to be able to retain the 3dfx fan on the card and i soled that too, yipie. gary i dont know how yours is comming but these things run cool.

Ya well im ok at modding but dont know poop about how to send pictures, i got this new camera and have taken about 30 pic's as the case mod's going along so i thought when i got done id do a web site(my nephew would do it that is)-- im plain dumb when it comes to this stuff, all i do is game and surf, can you tell me how to send them to this board gamma?
