Hi, I wanted to know what a good replacement fan for the Voodoo 4 4500 is as mine is currently grindy as hell.
Oil the bearing and if that doesn't fix your problem salvage a chipset fan or a similar fan from another graphics card from the same era.
On a far away planet reading your posts in the year 10,191.
From the research I've done, it seems that sewing machine oil is a good oil to use for case and card fans. Assuming they have one of those rubber lids you can lift up under the sticker to get to the bearing. I've had good luck bringing stuck case fans back to life.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Turns out it's not that. It stops after a little while, so I think the fan is kaput. So, could any just recommend a new fan, (AAVID would be nice 😜) for under 5 bucks?

I've used both petroleum jelly and sewing machine oil with success. I know petroleum jelly lasts for years and years as I still use the R9100 oiled that way in my Socket A rig.

I've bought a bunch of these to use as replacements on Voodoo5: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162073079423?_trksid= … K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Haven't done the exchange yet though.
If you want them to be AAVID, you can always transfer the original fan sticker to the new ones. 😀
