I was recently commissioned to make a waterblock for a card that is arguably the rarest on the planet. This is one of 30 that are thought to still be working of the roughly 150 engineering samples made.

But here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Hope you guys like it!
Beautiful work on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
i am speechless
:O
incredible
That is awesome, what does the back of the card and the back block look like?
Main Comp (Win 7): ASUS R4E, i7-3930k @ 4.9GHz, G.Skill Ripjaw Z 4x4GB @ 2133MHz, ATI 6950flash/6970 Xfire, Custom Watercooling

Server: (Ubuntu 11.04) i7-920 @ 3.8GHz, 24GB G.Skill
like 6w tdp. could fill it with water and run it fanless. LOL
sweet work. even cooler card
What is going to happen to it?
What will it be used for?

That extra "Voodoo5 6000" plate will be stuck on the back. Only reason I didn't stick it on there was because it would block the screw holes when adhered.
What is cooled on back of card with 2nd part of waterblock? And what do you think of making some interconnecting water mini bridge for both blocks? But otherwise yeah, coolness factor is off the scale
Oldstyle :banana::banana::banana::banana:ography
I probably could have arranged it, and I have another project in the works that will implement that. There were no size requirements for the block since the card isnt going to be inside a computer case. He has all sorts of adapters to get the AGP to PCI-E working.What is cooled on back of card with 2nd part of waterblock?

The back of the card was simply a request of the customer. There really wasn't anything back there but resistors. He wanted to pull heat off the back of the GPU. its just a solid sheet of copper with a giant thermal sheet. If there is any heat back there, it is no more.
Whoa a maze style block, we're getting to places there already that are way back, then the Voodoo ! I'm curious about the whole project it goes in...
24/7 running quiet and nice
a bench?
prob just a retro system. ive kinda been wanting to do one for a little while
Very nice work!

Pure awesomeness....brings back such good old memories of the 3dfx days..
Hi all,
First of all, thanks a lot for Nateman_doo. He did an Amazing Waterblocks for an Amazing and Rare Graphic Card.
It's one of my 12 Voodoo5 6000 cards.
To connect this card on a Next-Gen Motherboard with PCIexpress16x slot I will use 2 adaptors:
Like on my first modded 3dfx card, the Voodoo5 6000 Gold Edition...
Best Regards,
Trevormacro
