Did you own a Voodoo 3 back in the day? I recently noticed how hot they got - especially the PCI version! Those 3dfx cards have an additional voltage regulator that delivers 3.3v. This voltage regulator gets extremely hot - to almost 100 degrees Celsius.
Let's see if we can manage to reduce the temperature of this regulator and monitor the improvements using the InfiRay P2 Pro Thermal Camera.
