Wauw

a Rev.A1 4599 that is very old, it must of been one of the first Voodoo5 cards every to be built, and yeah 100Mhz for Core and Mem is quite odd indeed, but hey it's one the first, so I suppose 3dfx Engineers were testing what speed would of been the safest for the Voodoo5 to operate with no wanna wonder it has no fans on the heatsinks, that solves a link also.

So the Bios does work, hmm how about a new bios flash, like Edmund did with his Banshee Copper board, the one he bought from you once in a while?

Just think'n out loud Gary, I like to look for sollutions when ever possible. And if it is something else how would you know what has to be repared?

A lot of lab cards have no heatsinks since they tend to get in the way during regular reworking of the boards when troubleshooting. It's not uncommon to have temporary heat spreaders that are easily removed when work is required.

As keepers I own a 3700, a 3900 and a semi blank 0700 "intel" PCB.

I had two spare 3700's which I let go to friends who were in need of a V6K fix.

I'm planning on obtaining another 3700 and the prototype V6K fan assembly will be installed so it can be viewed and operated in all it's glory as 3dfx intended.
