What is this? Pink thermal paste what it is?

You need at least 8w/mk or higher thermal paste on that Titan Black since this is a high watt GPU. If you have high end GPU, you want to invest well using high end thermal paste!

you are kidding me? Thats grizzly Kryonaut extreme..

Certainly wont get much better than that unless you go to Liquid Metal !

Wow, that's a beast of a system! I imagine that has to be one of the latest boards with a PCI-X slot.

Make sure you use extra cooling for whatever Voodoo card you drop in there. With zero chance of a CPU bottleneck and a 66Mhz PCI BUS, the card will definitely be rendering more frames than it was ever intended to render. I haven't personally experienced heat issues related to running Voodoo cards in very fast systems (haven't really tried it), but I have read enough anecdotes to feel it was worth mentioning.

Looking forward to seeing your results! 😀

Managed to run with stock voltage @ 4,5Ghz

*Press X to doubt*

That is one beastly computer more suited for Windows Vista/7 that XP IMHO. Performance must be through the roof with that CPU/GPU combo. Good luck finding a Voodoo card - prices are now extremely high and unlikely to ever come down. I would very much like to have a Voodoo card but i am not willing to spend the amount of money required to buy one today.

PCI versions are even higher priced than the AGP models.

There's never enough performance with high quality anti-aliasing and QHD+ resolutions. And some XP games are intensively hungry for CPU power.

And here I am using an i7 860 of the same-ish generation at 3.6 all core to play Red Dead 2, Hogwarts Legacy and Assassins creed Valhalla!

Ayyyy reminds me of my XP rig. 😁

Speaking of my XP rig, a part of me is considering swapping out my GTX 480 for my OG Titan.

Wow in pink! For Grizzly that's unusual. What I had Hydronaut and Kryonaut were grey some are light grey.

Next time, redoing the GPU, buy some thermal putty instead of thermal pads. Knead few times and warm up the heatsink and GPU card makes the putty sticky. This keeps in thermal contact with flexing even there is some gap. Microsoft started using these on Xbox Series S and Series X with success on the VRM MOSFETs and VRAM chips.

Reason they were not warm and not kneaded because microsoft applied cold, made the putty to crack when crushed and not stick well. Warm and kneaded makes putty much sticky, improves this much better and no cracks because I reused them on reassembly.

Right now, people are not aware of thermal pad alternatives such as thermal putty so it is bit harder to find and expensive at this moment. I hope demand increases for this as I really like this so much.

Cheers,

Yes there normal kryonaut and the exterme. Thanks for the tip with thermal putty. Will have a look on it.
About the voodoo, i talk about the rebuild from Anthony. I not that creazy buy a original one. And even than i would not build it in a system for daily use.

Needs another socket. Apart from that you've built what's pretty close to my wish list of parts for "ultimate XP build" Still jealous though

If you get one then you're my new hero. I can't wait to see this happen!

It was the best i can found with PCI-X. This slots are rare.

We will see..

The time is come! Got the 6000 today will test later..

Strange God indeed! Can't wait to see some benchmarks!

Ok i can confirm the v6000 works on my mainboard on PCI-X 66MHz.
I had to deactivate some PCI-E settings in my Bios. Before that the board get any time "out of range". Had to reset the bios any time before i found the correct settings.
But ok now it boots fine into XP. I will do next a clean install of XP with the voodoo. Than the i7 can fire the voodoo.
The Floppy box GPU Holder is only temp Solution 😀.

Very nice! 😀

It will be interesting to see your benchmark results!
