Tried that in the first place:) Lubrification didn't help, I also managed to get the bearing itself out, but there is no access to let some lubrificant inside. Is it normal size bearing? Maybe I can fit similar one from any other ball bearing fan? Come to think of it I hope it is the bearing, what else could it possibly be? It rotates loose... maybe I overlooked something that could make noise?

Hi guys, I recently bought V5 5500, overall the card works great and i am very happy owning it:D but comparing to my previous V3 3000 it's a bit loud. The fan on the second vsa chip is practicly perfectly silent, but the fan on the first one isn't. For me it's very annoying, but still i would like to keep the original one (because i'm a voodoo freak and want it to be exactly the way it came out of the factory), any ideas how can i refurbish fans bearing?

Thanks for reply:) I tried official 2000 drivers, but it didn't help. Still getting only colorful squares in place where menu suppose to show up. Any more ideas?

Hi, I have a problem running gtafx since system reinstall. Up 'till now i had a win 98 and everything worked great, lately i got a windows 2000 on my Pentium III with a voodoo 3 3000 AGP with Omega 1.03 drivers and the game crashes after intro. Running it under widnows shows only many colorful squares, I tried to run it in DOSBox, but it's exactly the same effect. Is there any solution besides going back to win 98? Please help.
