My voodoo4 has been running at 210mhz for the past 6 hours, constantly looping 3dmark2001se demo at 1024*768...

and that's with stock cooling :o i didn't even change the thermal paste :o


Man this Hyundai ram owns :o

yup 210 i'm too afraid to try 220 with the stock stuff, might put the V3 custom cooling on the back though.

The bios is 1.15 that came with the card, don't know about the ram timings if you can tell me how to check i'll do it :)

The board itself is Rev3300 A0  8)

Heh here's what it says; i don't make any sense of it :)

Top left chip:
HYUNDAI KOREA
HY57V653220B

The other three:

0029A              TC-6

*ugh*

Well, let's hope your Voodoo4 will survive this hell (210MHz is alot of punishing for that card, unless you got a rare VSA-101)

Actually i'm gonna replace that thermal poo with some ArcticSilver3 tomorrow, and stick a few ram-sinks on the ramchips, lets see if i can get this baby to do 220 stable ^_^

Well, beware that you're working in extreme Regions where cooling becomes almost irrelevant.

It might run stable for quite a while, but chances are, it will simply die on you one day, and on 220MHz rather sooner than later ::)

It's like running an engine specified for 7000rpm (with a safety margin of 9000rpm) on a constant 11000rpm.
It may work for a while, but not indefinitely.

Good luck.

What is the best overclocking with a Voodoo5 5500 ?
