IMHO if you put 2 cooper heatsink on each VSA chip, the big fan vrom NV5 Silencer should be enough to create a satisfing air flow !

Or even better, like gary sad - a plate to connect both heatsink will disipate better the heat..hm..when we use an heatpipe between both ..

It's just an ideea Wink

As long as i don't own such a cooler, it's hard to say the cooling eficiency .. but i will search for one Grin

You got the ideea PS47 ! BTW, maybe the case with the cooler should be bigger. Try one from the NV Silencer 5 or 6. They should be fit better. Br. Radu.

Edit- Sorry if I misunderstand your post, the picture makes it look like the silencer is on a 3dfx board. And the board is even blue. ^^

I managed to mount a modified X1950pro Cooler on one of my 5500s

No I'll "just" have to have a decal or something to fit on it Wink

And of course a small 3dfx-decal for the fan..

The fan is from a OEM Geforce 6700XL (or what it was called) its much better than the original one

I just have to test if it blows enough to cool the card @ 7V Wink
