V5 Mod You can get some Ideas here but the main thing is the 120 fan I have blowing from the bottom of the drive bays. I dont expect anyone to go as far as I did but the bottom of the bay blower is a real easy solution.

I have a pci slot fan mounted underneath my card blowing out, and a case fan mounted on cross bar blowing up on the card

Mykex, is it blue orb can fit on voodoo5?

 

[Mykex]

The pins don't line up so I used Artic Silver epoxy and I had to snip 2 fins on one because of capasitors in the way. I wanted to just grind them down but grinding wheel I used decided removal was the best way.

So no they dont fit,without help.

i almost broke my capasitors on my card because i force to put blue orb on it, that's why i feel confuse why they can put the blue orb on the card

 

[Mykex]

Yes and if you force the use of the pins on the V5 with the Blorb the base of the Blorb tends to bend upward creating a pocket inbetween. Of coarse this is not good because you will get no heat transfer. This is why I used the epoxy,the frag tape would have been OK but I was uncomfortable just using tape.

Mine has Stealth coolers ...they seem to work really well. It's never overheated or locked up once and I run at 183mhz pic here ---> Stealthy

 

[Mykex]

Yea those lasagna stealths are nice I just like the way the Blorbs looked. Yes I bought them cause they looked cool pretty dumb ehh. What I am kicking myself for not getting would be this V5 Kit That with the Artic Silver epoxy upgrade is 50$ kinda pricey but everything you could ever need is there.

I use stock cooling. As a result, I can't OC past 175
