    If my hard drives hold out a bit longer.....
    I'm going to mod my VooDoo2 to the limit.
    Three chips = 3 heatsinks, might even be active ones/80mm fan overhead :)

    Heading up to Dublin on the 27th, planning tobuy a few fans and get busy modding when i get home.
    Anyone care to suggest decent thermal eoxy? The stuff that will stick the heatsinks to the chip slugs fairly permanently?

    arctic silver thermal compound, at overclockers, probably the best glue type compound u can get (use it on all my graphics cards). Don't use it on a cpu :)

    As an aside, many people recommend a 50/50 mix of the Arctic Silver II thermal epoxy and the regular AS II thermal (non-epoxy) paste - it will hold the heatsink on securely but it can still be pulled off by hand when you need to afterwards.

    In case it's useful...

    This would be a pretty much permanent jobbie :)
    I don't think I'll need to put anything on the EDO ram on the board, twill be only the chips (2x TMUs and a TBU afaik) that'll be overclocked.
    Probably won't even need active cooling, the 80mm fan blowing in should be plenty.

    Just going to get a bit of experience on this stuff before modding anything more valuable :)
