Hi all, I posted this at a Voodoo forum but have not gotten any hits. Maybe some of you are familiar with this. I seem to have a problem on a customer's new PC just being built. The video card is a 3dFx Voodoo 4 4500 AGP and it's getting VERY hot, too hot to touch on the backside opposite of the chipset, and happens immediately just as the board boots (nothing else is attached to the board yet, just CPU's, memory and video card). There is a heatsink & fan on the chipset. The mobo is a dual Xeon SuperMicro S2DGU, 440GX chipset. Both are compatible as far as 1x/2x/4x AGP goes, so the voltage is compatible. I'm at a loss as to what is going on. Is anyone familiar with any problems with that video card chipset and the 440GX chipsets & overheating? I know I 'could' rig up a fan for the backside of the card, but that should not be necessary. I DID put another video card in for the heck of it just to check the heat, and it was not getting hot. It could be just a compatibility issue with the 440GX chipset and the 3dFX Voodoo chipset. Thanks, -Clint
