I'm just wondering if 1" is big enough ??? Yeah they are a hell of a good deal, that's why I'm curious

Well I can't be sure but there was I guy from VoodooAlert that pointed out that my dead V6K could have overheated. Donno cuz it was DOA when I got it. He pointed out that the board looks darker on GPU's 1 & 2. I think he brings up a very good point but the seller insists that it was functioning when he shipped it.

Have a look and tell me what you think...

ouch

That makes me want to cry. Yeah looks like the first 2 VSA chips tried to fry a chicken on the inside of the computer. he must have had it overclocked and not had a fan on those sinks. That would kill one quick. My 5500 with the stock fans would burn my finger if I touched the back of the cards. I use to have two super socket 7 coolers on it, but had to remove them for space issues in my old computer (which is now my main computer cuz I toasted my new mobo Cry

, I went from running an Athlon XP chip with 1g DDR down to a PIII with 64mb ram [I apparently toasted my 256 stick in transport])

Good news is as soon as I get some heatsinks I got my 5500 back Grin

But only on a PIII 750, damn the irony! Angry

Pretty obvious huh! I couldn't believe that german guy saw it and I didn't. From a single pic no less. Your looking at a pic in comparison and it really shows. Just amagine how obvious it was when I saw it with the naked eye and the fact that both cards were mine Cry

I should have caught it's Embarrassed

The auction was active when I realize it and it was listed as a dead V6K so what could I do but let it run it's course Undecided

It does make me wonder, was it "Functional" when shipped to me Angry
