Anthony's Cards

    Hey Martin,

    Waren hier auch die Aavid Lüfter im Lieferumfang inbegriffen? Wenn ja, welchen Anschluss haben die denn? Kann man die auf eine V5 5500 stecken ohne den Stecker zu modifizieren?

    Danke und Gruß,

    The smaller size of the heatsink isn't necessarly a downside. In these size levels heatsinks usually dont have any passiv cooling purpose. Its main goal is to provide a larger surface for the fan to blow over. As both heatsinks seems to be made of aluminium the heat transmission coefficient is the same. Maybe the lower volume could lead to less heat, that can be taken from the chip itself, what would lead into higher temperatures of the heatsink itself.


    So to give a clear answer we would need to know the value of watts the vsa100 is emiting as heat to the heatsink, taking the heat transmission coefficient into account in proportion to the volume of both heatsinks and compare it with the value of heat the fan take away. Not to mention the air flow within the case that is been used.


    But as I am too lazy for these calculations :D I would say it is going to work fine. Maybe to be sure a simple messurement with an infrared thermometer at the heatsink after a couple of hours of gaming would give the answer.

    Es sind Lüfter dabei ja. Allerdings normal 3 PIN Anschluss, sprich die passen nicht auf eine V5 5500.

    the fans Anthony used are actually industrial fans pretty much the same ones Backfire uses, the AAvid fans are worse of quality actually, these fans that Anthony & Backfire use are dual bearing fans and provide much better cooling and are less noisy.
    my V5 PCI Mac uses these same industrial fans:

    A good advice would be to use these industrial ones instead of the original AAViD ones.

    Hi DerBiber,

    perhaps the temperature tests of a v5 5500 agp I performed in this Thread may be useful:

    The graphs may be useful in assessing the dissipation power of the Original Heatsinks compared to Zalman ZM-NB32Ks:


    V5 5500 Standard Heatsinks AAVID Fan



    V5 5500 Zalman ZM-NB32K Heatsinks AAVID Fan


    Each of these configurations has been tested in 4 different situations:


    • PC-ON 800x600 16Bit 60Hz
    • 3DMark99 Standard Benchmark
    • 3DMark99 Demo 800x600 16Bit 60Hz
    • Unreal Time Demo 1280x1024 16Bit 60Hz 77Fps


    To check system stability, the tests lasted 90 minutes.

    The test hardware was installed in an open case, without additional cooling fans.

    Temperatures were measured at 10-minute intervals at the front and rear of the V5 5500.

    At the front of the V5 5500, a contact temperature probe was placed at the hottest point of the heatsink.

    For the measurements at the rear of the V5 5500, the thermal probe was placed in the centre of the Vsa-100, which developed the most heat.

    In addition to the contact thermal probe, I used an infrared thermal detector with a laser pointer.

    I compared the measured temperatures, of both measuring systems, and always reported the higher of the two thermal readings.


    I hope these test results will be useful. :)


    i've made my own tests and found that the combination of heatsink/fans is not enough for proper cooling. silicon temp goes to 90c. inappropriate. either use coolers as the card had come or use faster fans on these slim radiators. this is related to 2-4 chip cards.

    Backfire: Das Powersupply der V5 6000 ist in den meisten Fällen der Troublemaker. Hier erkennt man auch sehr deutlich den Prototypen. Es existiert keine Schutzschaltung.

    Die originale 6000 scheint ja etwas zerbrechlich. Haben Anthonys Karten Verbesserungen in dieser Hinsicht ? bzw sind die durch das neue Design notwendig ?

    Er hat die ursprüngliche Schaltung gegen zwei andere Schaltkreise ausgetauscht. Ob die aber einen Schutz bei Ausfall haben, müsste man im Datenblatt nachsehen.

    Thats really an improvement!

    I would like to have this card in pink.:spitze:
