Voodoo 3 2000 overclock question (N3)

by Willard VanderPloe » Thu, 25 May 2000 04:00:00

Greetings;

Just bought a Voodo 3 2000 for N3 and achieve framerates running the card
stock of 30 fps on my Pentium II 266.  Just wondered how much I can
overclock without a card cooler and not wreck the card AND how much this
will improve my framerate.

Is overclocking risky?  I've got the util to do it but I'm a bit gunshy.

Please reply via email - I don't get here much.

Regards,

Willard.

I overclocked my voodoo3 -2000 to about 160 (from 143) but I do have a
cooler (3 fingers kick ass cooling fan from voodooextreme.com).  A
cooling fan is only about $15 and it greatly helps.  I have noticed a
difference (can turn on more cars during racing). I recommend
overclocking like 2-3 MHz at a time and running the game.  Usually, if
you do it a little at a time and the game crashes, you'll know how high
you can go without destroying your cpu.  Definitely get an additional
fan. OVerclocking is very risky (have you every touched a non-
overclocked cpu after running your computer? It'll give you 3rd degree
burns) and not recommended by the manufacturer.  I guess that I would
go over 150-155 without a cooling fan.

How can you tell what the frame rate is? Is there a key or code to hit?

30 fps is the max you can get in n3.
