And another V56k that is losing it's original state Sad

Btw., a passive cooling solution mostly comes with a high weight, which is not very good when looking at a card as long as the V56k. It even bends with default equipped fans Roll Eyes

I think two modded V56k with waterblocks are more than enough, any more cooling solutions don't help anyone.

The main idea is build a passive cooling based in copper material with agressive memory timings running at default speed with an elegant design.

ps. Yes, a passive cooler implies a heavy block but will try to do something different.

Reply #7 - 09.05.12 at 19:52:33 I don't see any big benefit in it. A custom milled passive cooler with aluminum should be enough to cool the card at default clock speeds. Have a look at this: http://www.voodooalert.de/board/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=15791&pageNo=1 feinripp is running the card without fans because it is running cool enough.

What further reactions do you want if you only reply with "You will see..."?

I just want to say copper dissipate more heat from chip than aluminium!
We will see in the futur the benefit...
I don't speak about default frequency.

If there would be enough heat that needs to be dissipated, yes. But we have a card that only consumes about 60 watt and there isn't one big heat source that would make benefit of copper. Just keep that in mind.

You only need to look at reviews between Zalman VF700 ALCU vs VF700 CU. The difference is from 2°C to 5°C at max on cards that consume more power than a Voodoo 5 6000 and have only one big heat source.

You did write default speed and not overclocked! And even with overclocking the temperatures won't rise that much since you don't make any use of voltage modding.

But ok, make the cooler with pure copper. You will see the same effect as with the test of the first watercooling Roll Eyes

At default speed, I will can compare with a common V5 6000 (6ns).
I keep in mind your reaction and I let you know when it's ready...

Your reaction?

I am not a waterblocks technician. The unique way is to pay someone who can build it for me.
This time with this project I had taken my time to build good heatsink.
