Will those fit and properly cool a V5 5500. IMO fans will be added!  8)

Mmm... Look at that yummy laptop :o

On-topic @ I wonder if the push pins will work? the V5 does have holes for them.

Combine shipping additional = FREE That's nice.

lol :)

Yeah, that's the wholre reason I want to buy passive heatsinks because the V5 has holes for passive sinks. 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...

hmm maybe the back 2 VSA's never opperated, only the 2 front ones therefore the darker colour Gamma742? Maybe?

Nay. Your thinking about the AAlchemy AA5

Here, Let me make it easy for everyone...


Both of my cards. See now what the guy at VA is talking about :-X i was nearly sick :'(

Yeah I think you were nearly sick well, let's say a bad move but you healed that bad move with a very good sale, but still it hurts me also mate, I Sense Your pain :'(

BTW Good n8 ;)

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  :'(, 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  ;D

But only on a PIII 750, damn the irony!  >:(

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  :'( I should have caught it's :-[

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 :-/

It does make me wonder, was it "Functional" when shipped to me >:(

I'd put my money on it being DOA, how much did you pay for it? I'll buy it off you to stick on my wall  ;) lol

make my 5500 feel like the honda civic of voodoos  ;D

It sold on ebay for 711$ as a dead card.

still a shame that it died Gamma742  :-/

I think it was damaged with the postal services.

and about the cooling for the Voodoo cards I'd rather leave them the way they are, just to keep them original hehe ;)

That first pic that you listed in the auction is badass. I was gunna save it but than I saw the stupid ebay thing in the bottom corner. Can you PM me the orig pic? That would be a badass background on my non-3dfx laptop... lol

Back on the subject, does anyone think these heatsinks will cool properly only being 1"  ???

Passive or Active cooling with them?

Active, definately! I'm just worried about their size becuase I don't believe in owning a tape measure  :-/

3dfx cards are known to be hot.
Its better to have active cooling
