Where can I buy a fan for a v3?

[rhinox99]

I've heard about the Lasagna Cooler and the Blue Orb. I can't seem to find a site to order either of them. The tennmax site seems to be down and the thermaltake site doesn't have an ordering page. Can someone give me a good site? Thx

i just took a 486 heatsink fan and used the self-tapping screws and screwed them between the fins. works wonders


btw, if you remove the heatsink, you void your warrantee. and if you have a 2000, i don't know if you'll be able to remove it without damaging something, which is why i left mine on


you can buy them at any store like Radio Shack etc.

Will the radioshack 486 fan fit onto a the retail heatsink of the 2000?

yup. When i bought mine from radio shack it had the fan attached to a small 486 heatsink, and had a 4-pin power connector. i just unscrewed the 4 self-tapping screws, and took the fan off, then used the same screws and put it on my voodoo3 2000PCI

are you planning on overclocking it or something? because if you aren't, unless the excess heat is causing other components trouble, i'd just leave it as is, and save the money and blocked slot next to the voodoo if it fries, they'll replace it for you under warantee

edit: the one i got from Radio Shack was called a "computer CPU Cooling Fan for 80486 Processor"

btw, o-cing a voodoo3 2000 doesn't give you too much of a boost, but for some games it can be worth it. i got mine to 175mhz

Blue orbs are available at www.plycon.com (only like 25 left though)- costs 20 bucks after shipping (includes thermal tape and grease and pin connector converter). I hear www.2cooltek.com will have it in pretty soon (dunno 'bout price).
