Schmatics or ID capacitors on Voodoo 5 5500 AGP?

Today I decided to take my V5 5500 AGP out to lube the fans up. Once I finished and started to install them I noticed a bunch of caps missing off the board (6 to be exact). These must of been missing since I bought it a few months ago and the card was working fine in the system.

I pulled out my 2nd V5 5.5k AGP and confirmed that this card had all the missing SMD caps that the other was missing.

So I'd be grateful if someone had the schmatics or could ID these SMD caps for me before I start to register at a bunch of other forums 😀

C504
C505
C547
C545
C544

Wish they would of labeled the specs on SMD caps! Had similar issue on a ECU for one of my cars 🙁

TIA!!

Why fix it if it isn't broken?

I've soldered ram chips and even worse (scanline IC's in plasma tv's). The work doesn't worry me. I just need the parts. Maybe I can scavenge some off my old Viper 550 or ATI card that are bad.

While the card seems to work fine, I'd like to make sure it would have a better life at recommended spec.

EDIT: I've actually thought bout making one card a 128MB providing I can find the chips 😀

I think someone did this before on a V4 I think?

Yep, someone turned a 32MB into a 64MB, someone already did the V5 128MB, think it was over at falconfly.de
