Hello,
 
I have another project.
 
I sent one of my Voodoo5 6000 Rev.3700A to liquid-extasy.
 
I ask him to build two Waterblocks for this card :

Hello,
 
After have done my Voodoo5 6000 Gold Second Edtion I have a new project : Voodoo5 6000 rev.3700A WaterCooling edition. (with a special hard work of an excellent man)
 

 
Step by step :
 
- Waterblocks :
 
That is the coding that allows the machine to make that logo on front waterblock
 

 
Delrin + Copper
 

 
Voodoo5 6000 heatsinks removed
 

 
Just a quick sketch up of the card and what needs to be cooled.
the green is the pcb, the bright red is the HiNT chip, and the 4 squares are the GPU's.
 

 
The whole back of the card will be cooled.* One large block.* a large single piece of thermal tape will be used.
 
The one large sheet will touch every inch of the board and pull the heat off.
 
the chips themselves get hot. The back of the chips were probably getting hot from the lack of cooling on the top of them.
 
This rear block will take off any heat the top block will produce.* It will pull any heat off of every component that it touches.
 

 
A CAD model of the card.* Things to cool in black, and things to avoid in red, and the very limited holes in the board.
 

 
Basic overall shape :
 

 
The blue outline that is the funny shape is the copper
the black outline is the overall card.
The copper is what needs to be touching the chips, so I will avoid all those red areas.
The plastic is thick enough to just mill out depressions for the components.
So the black plastic will cover the entire card
giving you the sleek appearance of a seamless block.
A copper plate that touches the HiNT chip, GPU's and Ram.
Then the black plastic is a much larger piece that covers most of the card.
Each block will be 19mm thick.
V5k6 card is 1.6mm thick, and 19mm of copper and plastic on each side
 
All of my stuff (WaterCooling kit).
I can't put into words, how powerful just one of those fans are.
I will have to screw this thing to a table.
I firmly believe that the radiator will levitate if all three are on.
I am still speechless from the power of a single fan.
I have all the power imaginable, and it sounds like a jet starting up
 

 
Delta Fans 120 mm * 38 mm - 252 CFM ai capacity* :
 

 
Here is a print to scale (I hope) version of the copper section of the waterblock.
 

 
The plastic top part will have the same top and left boundaries.
 
Cut a prototype out of aluminum
 
Here is a basic prototype of the copper board that will touch all the chips.
 


A few minor improvements to a few lines of code and it will be ready to cut.
 
Block progress :
 
The backside blocks initial outer shape is cut. Fits like a charm.
 

 
Milling of the Vram section:
 

 
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the O-ring sealing didnt work. Thats a simple fix-i will seal it with a silicone gasket sealant along with the O-rings. So thats really not a big issue. It will never ever leak.
The good news is the block is very effective. when i was doing the leak test i pumped some cold water and the block instantly got very cold. The performance of these blocks are very good!
 

 
The blocks are just about finished as far as basic construction.
 
I came up with an idea to make a seperate plate for it with the logo. I attached a pic of the 0.25" plate.* The logo will go on that plate to give it some personality.
 

 
Beginning 3dfx logo :
 

 
Cutting the plate :
 

 
I wanted to have copper in the logo correct.
 
Sheet copper for the logo arrived (0.032" sheet copper).
...Working on logo now :-)...
 
Still a little more work to do, but its getting there :
 

 
This is the overall size of the logo. Now comes the hard part, filling that logo with a solid sheet of polished copper.
 

 
The next step is trying to cut the identical logo out of copper, just a hair smaller so it drops right into that logo and glue it into place.
 
Filling 3dfx logo with copper :
 

 
Video :
 
3dfx logo in action :
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJy7g9QmU5w
 
Magic moment no?
 
The end of the "X" is 0.7mm thick.* That was no easy task
Here are the results
 

 
A close up of the end of that swoosh:
 


0.8mm thick.
 
A view of my backyard:
 

 
An overall finished logo:
 

 
Rear Plastic :
 
Voodoo5 6000 logo :
 
First step :
 

 
Front waterblock:
 

 
He came across a slight problem. H can't mount the plate without covering the holes.
Rear plate would cover up holes.
The solution is I stick it on.
I can purchase a special role of tape so I can remove it whenever I want.
I can purchase some extra tape to stick the rear plate on waterblock.
That is a very easy solution.
 

 
Still trying to dress up the Voodoo5 plate, but here its almost finished. Both blocks are sealed watertight now. Just awaiting installation...
 

 
I present to you the completed front side GPU block:
 

 
Voodoo5 6000 logo:
 
Video :

Here is the finished plate.* He put tape on the back so I can stick it on when I want.
 

 
He have been test fitting the contact of the card for hours...
 

 
Bonus Time:

The last part:
 
Enclosing a bag of spacers (washers) that are plastic. They need to be stacked 2 high on each side of the card.

Pasted 5 copper pcb in the back of the card.

       Fit the black big heatsink

Test in 3dmark2001se :

Hardwares :

- Asus p5wdgw ws pro
- Intel E8400
- 4Gb DDR2

Softwares :

- Koolsmoky Betas Drivers
- Windows XP Pro





22º in the room, with not extra fan for the card.
Perhaps with 6 big fan. 3 front and 3 back would help to gain some MHz more!

This Voodoo5 6000 Gold SE is a formula one!
 
201 MHz passed in 3DMark2001Se

ps. Anyway, I am very happy to see runing my card over 200MHz for benchmarking! It is amazing!

Hello everybody,
 
My New Amazing 3dfx Project :
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJCNtkdoDnU
 
( For All 3dfx Fans )
 
If anyone have new motheboard with pci-e slot, you can use your old 3dfx voodoo cards with this adaptor (at 66 Mhz).
 
It's the best adaptor to have better speed.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Some tests : Supermicro adaptor vs Pericom adaptor vs PLX adaptor
 
 
I test my 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI( @ default 166 mhz ) with all adaptors.
 
---------------------------------------------------
My spec : Maximus 4 Extreme, Intel 2600k @ 3,4 Ghz.
Drivers : Koolsmoky beta and Sfft 1.7
Operating System : Windows Xp Pro Sp3
---------------------------------------------------
 
3dmark2001se results :
 
 
With Beta koolsmoky Drivers :
 
 
- Supermicro adaptor : 3620 marks ( 66 mhz )
 
- Pericom adaptor : 3487 marks ( 66 mhz )
 
- PLX adaptor : 3116 marks ( 33 mhz )
 
 
With Sfft 1.7 Drivers :
 
Sfft Configurator : DDI 9 + Enable Tripple Buffer
 
* Supermicro adaptor : 3359 marks
 
* Pericom adaptor : 3147 marks
 
* PLX adaptor : 2899 marks
 
 
The best adaptor is Supermicro ( PCI-X support ).
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I test my 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 AGP ( @ default 166 mhz ) with all adaptors + Change Agp2Pci adaptor ( modded @ 66 mhz )
 
---------------------------------------------------
My spec : Maximus 4 Extreme, Intel 2600k @ 3,4 Ghz
Drivers : Beta Koolsmoky and Sfft 1.7
Operating System : Windows Xp Pro Sp3
---------------------------------------------------
 
3dmark2001se results :
 
 
With Beta Koolsmoky Drivers :
 
 
- Supermicro adaptor : 3625 marks ( 66 mhz )
 
- Pericom adaptor : "in test" ( 66 mhz )
 
- PLX adaptor : 3120 marks ( 33 mhz )
 
 
With Sfft 1.7 Drivers :
 
Sfft Configurator : DDI 9 + Enable Tripple Buffer
 
* Supermicro adaptor : 3364 marks ( 66 mhz )
 
* Pericom adaptor : "in test" ( 66 mhz )

In 3dmark2001se, Sfft 1.7 drivers work with agp2pci adaptor.
 
 
Any questions ?

hello,

who want to sell me agp2pci adaptor please ?

help me to find one.

thanks

Hello,

I write only in english.

I really want to find Voodoo 5 6000 any revision.

Anyone want to sell me his card ?

Pm me please.

thanks in advance

Hardware :

Pc Case                : Sunbeam Open Air "Acrylic Case - Transparent"
Motherboard         : Asus P5WDG2 ws professional
Power Supply       : Be Quiet 750 Watts
Processor             : Intel Core 2 Duo E8600
Graphics Card      : Voodoo 5 5500 MAC Version ( Bios 1.18 flashed for PC )
Adapters              : Pci to pcie
Memory               : GSkill DDR2-1200 PC2 9600 4GB
Hard Drive           : Raid0 2 SSD Intel X25-E 64 GO
Operating System : Windows Xp Sp3 Professional (32 bits)
 
Voodoo5 5500 on pci-express (with pcitopcie adaptor ) :



Voodoo5 5500 on pci-x :


 
Voodoo 5 5500 MAC on PCI-X,
3dmark2001se : 4697 points ( o/c 189 Mhz )



Voodoo 5 on pci-x is more faster than Voodoo 5 on pci-express.
4697 vs 3620 marks.
The best solution is to have a pcix on motherboard like Supermicro or Asus.
