What are your best Voodoo 5 5500 Overclocks, and what cooling did you use?

I also have a question, If I rip off the stock heatsinks and just put on another heatsink fan on it with artic silver between the heatsink and the adhesive, will it sill cool properly or would I actually have to remove the adhesive, Trying to avoid it? Or is there a very easy way to remove the adhesive?
 
OMG ! ,, remove the old thermal pads !!!
(use 97% isopropyl alcohol,,, drug store stuff)

,,, then apply AS

I used 2 Blue Orbs on mine. (lapped)

I'll try to find my old OC speeds.
 
well ,,, seems my old threads here in this forum are deleted...

This forum was the first one I info in to OC my first PC and Voodoo ... too bad ...

I'm sorry ,,,, due to technical difficulties ,,, I cant find my clock speeds for you.

PS ... I still have my old V5 5500 ,,, anyone interested in it?
(I even have original box)

So VooDoo is rice???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
V3-2000 cards were very nice overclockers. They easily did 180-185MHz instead of 143.
Does your card have 5ns memory?
