    Voodoo5 6000 WaterCooling edition: Retro Love

    in Overclocking

    Posted · Edited by trevormacro

    First TEST with same system of my watercooling cards.

    3DMark01se and Quake3 Freeze @166MHz in the first 5s.

    The Watertemp 50°C is to high. (measured with IR lasergun)

    The Tecs can be cool -22°C without heat. Better is 30°C watetertemp. But I need more radiatorsurfaces. 360mm radiotor is not enough big to cool well the water.

    I have a thermalpower about 480W (400W for the tec cooler and 80 max in charge for the V5k6).

    The 360mm Radiator is recommend about 200-300W for good watertemperatures. Better is, I get one more radiotor or much better 2 more. Or with a chiller I would have any better watertemperatures. May be below 20°C.

    I let you know.

    I have baught this waterchiller.

    Aquatuning recommend this one.

    Aquatuning - Der Wasserk

    I hope I will receive it in good condition with DHL.

    Anyone have experiences with waterchiller?

    History:

    On the frontside:

    4 tec of 36W for gpus and 3 tec of 18W for sdrams.

    144 + 54 = 198Watts

    http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/49351671y4.jpg

    On the rearside:

    3 tec of 18W.

    =54Watts

    http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/20350942y6.jpg

    http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/17825149y7.jpg

    In all = 252Watts TEC on the card + 100Watts max for the V5k6 = 352Watts

    The waterchiller is for 790Watts with max low temperature of 4° C.

    Is it good?

    One VSA100 produce 14Watts in full charge. is the tec (36W) on gpu are good for it?

    Hello,

    My new project:

    3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Peltier Watercooling 2nd

    Video:

    Informations about Peltier elements:

    QC-127-1.4-3.7MS

    Peltierelement 36W for GPUs

    40x40x4,7mm

    30,12?/pieces

    120,48? (4 pieces)

    QC-127-1.0-3.9M

    Peltierelement 18W for Sdrams

    30x30x3,6mm

    26,92?/pieces

    179,52? (6 pieces)

    8 Tecs are here:

    324265tecs.jpg

    The others tecs will arrived 2 weeks later.

    Powersupply is ordered:

    Trafo Netzteil Transformator 12V / 40A DIN ISO9001 | eBay

    350W Coolingpower is very high. Maybe, we can freeze the card for best o/c results.

    Powersupply received:

    237811powersupply.jpg

    Done with the "normal functional design" but we will take tho old design. I like this :-)

    1mm Coldbplate on RAM.

    To the front, we will take thermalgrease.

    To the back, we will use thermalpads too.

    4 tecs on GPU and 6 tecs on ram.

    Idea:

    We take a screw to push the pcb on the front cooler. Better is thermalglue, or we take a screw an a backplate. We have better temperatures.

    We must defeated a plasticplate under the screw.

    Acrylglastops must be changed in other material. We will use POM (black or white).

    Acrylglas can broken because the temperatures differences.

    Informations about isolation.

    We need dough first to conserve the card. At first, the card must be protect with dough. But the dough will be cold too, to the tecs. There, we must isolate the dough too, with Armaflex. Armaflex is one of the best insolator. I think its a safe way.

    Furthermore we can regulate the tecs with an controlpanel. With the controlpanel we can regulate the coolingpower.

    May be from 400W - 100W.

    The front copperbaseplate is done:

    787048copperbaseplate.jpg

    New structur. 1mm to 0.3mm for cooler tecs. 4 hours of investement for this struktur. In the backcooler, same structur.

    An electronics engineer draws up the control panel:

    782990controlpanel.jpg

    All provisionally done.

    Here is the beauty:

    Some tests for the green color.

    nb. the painter will paint again because the quality is bad.

    What do you think?

    Wow man you are killing it! :D Job well done my friend :T:

    Have you designed waterblocks for modern VGAs as well?

    Hi,

    Thank you.

    I have only Voodoo5 6000 cards.

    I don't have others VGA cards.

    But It's possible to make Waterblocks for Nvidia Geforce GTX 690 or others modern cards...

    I present you my 3 monsters:

    So nice :) , no?

    Hey Tevor you are really a 3dfx lover, i love your job mate it's awesome :D

    I' m very glad to have you post in our forum, just keep in touch with all your updates :T:

    edit. it will be a nice project to put some testing with TEC but trully i don'k think you will gain much in terms of gpu clocks!

    Hi mortisboy,

    Thanks for your welcome :)

    I have another project in progress on Hwbot.org forum: 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Second Watercooling Edition - hwbot.org

    A Second Watercooling Edition for one of my rev.3700A but something different ;)

    Feel free to make another article on it :) on Hwbox.gr

    Thanks in advance

    Loving this! :D

    Just like Sam said, I love when people modify their hardware regardless of its value or rareness :T:

    Have you thought of using a TEC to dissipate the heat?

    Thank you.

    Yes I take risks and the card is very rare...Perhaps I am crazy lol but I have a lot of V5k6 now so i can do it...

    I don't know anything about TEC and perhaps it's dangerous for the 6k.
