vroar!

Looks nifty, do you think those DDR 1 modules running at 400mhz (?) actually need active cooling? Or should a simple heatsink suffice?

This might get one hard card to cool with h²o.

uhm, not that I know of Koensa, the card is looking pretty decent & normal to me

I mean, we are really talking Voodoo3 6000 size here

A Voodoo3 6000, does that exist? I thought it was a Voodoo5 6000. I could be wrong though.

I think the FX5800 will be a ****** to watercool, the mem gets to hot to cool passivly. :/ Then again, who's going to buy a FX5800?

Does the FX5900 need active memcooling? It's DDR 1, but running at high frequency.

if watercooled, you can use one big waterblock + pelt to cool it
