I OBVIOUSLY MEANT CRYSTAL, NOT GOLDEN!

Hi there!

On the left side I have a Voodoo4 4500 PCI from which I removed the stock heatsink and cooler. The card has two unused mounting holes near the GPU, on the PCB.

On the right side I have a Thermaltake Orange Orb and Crystal Orb, which are chipset coolers (or BGA coolers if you like). These have two mounting holes.

Now, I read dozens of reviews of these coolers, but haven't found any information on Voodoo cards, if the holes on the PCB will fit those on the coolers. By looking at pictures, I assume holes on the Orange and Crystal are in the same location and equally distant.

I really hope somebody here have used or is still using one of these coolers on a Voodoo4, so that he can help me out.

I also wanted to know the real and total height of the two coolers, since everywhere can only be found the height of the coolers, and not of the actual cooling systems (the coolers are enclosed in the heatsinks, so these will be taller).

Thanks a lot!

No, BGA stands for Bridge Graphic Adapter, cooler solutions for Northbridge and GPUs.

I'll check the distance.



P.S. I don't have the coolers, that'0s why I'm asking! 

I'll check some reviews of the cooler you mention. Actually, I remember a battle between the Blue/Orange/Crystal Orb and some Titan coolers, and the Titan were always getting higher temperatures.

Anyway, if you need some Orange Orbs, which are incredibly thin, let me know, I MIGHT have a contact to buy these really cheap!

Fine, but I said enough times I have very hugely tiny limited space!



So an Orange Orb will be perfect, since I don't even overclock. But you're right, there's always something better. Go for a water cooling, and your cooler will suck too!

On a Voodoo?!

That's interesting, the screw holes on the Voodoo4 are more or less 60mm distant. Is it the "standard" distance for VGA coolers?

here, ive bought a ton of stuff from these ppl with no problems
