I get them on eBay. I know that they will be fine, but once I start overclocking they might not. That's why I used mx4 As for the OP, it's a wall of text. I can see how one could miss something or a lot.

On a second note... I think it might be even an older card... maybe TNT M64 or GF2MX. That's what I was thinking. That logo on the fan looks familiar to me, I'm almost sure I saw it before... but can't remember what manufacturer is it. I did some looking and come across a company called c.p. …

I got the case today. Sorry for the crappy pics. I also stated to paint the case. But I ran out of paint and did not finish it. I'll take better pics when the system is done.

The way I look at it, if the board is over 10 years old and will A: be overclocked B: used hard or maxed out C: used on a daily basis or D: shows a sings of having bad cap. You should replace the caps. P.S Or E: is a dell gx270 🤣

There are adjustable sized Chinese ones on ebay that I have seen people here use on Voodoo 5's which should have the same mounting holes. I rather make my own then buy one from a Chinese cheesecake factory. If I recall there was a heat sink that was very popular few years back that people used alot …

I have a voodoo4500 and I'd like to put an aftermarket heat sink on it. But if I recall most older vga heatsinks don't line up with its mounting holes. And ideas? I don't want to glue it on.

The board is an abit Vp6 and I like the idea of putting the pagefile in a ram drive. That would help out with any apps that dislike not having one. And rhel3 is redhat enterprise Linux 3.
