How hot does a Voodoo3 AGP gets?
« on: January 26, 2005, 08:34:16 AM »
I just installed on an old pc, an old voodoo3 agp card, but I think it runs too hot...  8-)  after 5 mins of messing with the BIOS it is fairly hot... is this normal?

How can I remove the stock heatsink? I removed the 2 metal screws holding it, but it is glued or something...

I have a complete spage copper vga fan/heatsink set, and I was hoping to use that... I now wait for the v3 to get hotter while working, and maybe I can remove its heatsink...
