Anyone done anything extreme with there Voodoo 5 ?
Mabye water cooling or peltiers ? And if so, what kind of clock speeds can you hit, and did it make a difference.

Im putting in a water cooling rig and am trying to decide if its worth the extra 60 bucks to cool my v5.
 
I had a V5 for a very short time- I used a couple of old Intel S370 HSFs, one per chip. No sinks on the memory; they barely even got hot. This was because I got barely an extra 15mhz out of it!:D

15mhz wasn't very good; I don't know if it was just that my card wasn't too great or V5s have limited OC capability. I imagine the bus that hooks the 2 chips together limits the speed you can get to. It was like trying ot OC 2 cards at once!!:)
