Could anyone share their experiences with overclocking V3 2000 and 3000
cards with me please?
I'd love to know what:
overclocking util you use and recommend
how high you can overclock safely to in your experience (with/without extra
cooling)
how you have set up extra cooling for your card
any other related experiences!
thanks in advance
Marc
Look at www.sharkyextreme.com for a V3 overclocking guide.
I have a V3 2000 working at 166 Mhz (V3 3000 frecuency) with no problem,
I added a 486 fan, but I think without extra cooling work well too.

The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX!

I use Gary Peterson's V3OC util from www.voodoo3.net/utilities.htm which
works really well. They also have FastCard, last time I looked you also had
to download VB runtime files etc etc
Voodoo3 2000 with 486 fan screwed on to heatsink - 180MHz
Voodoo3 3000 with no fans - 183MHz, still bedding in, may go higher.
Hope that helps

I came across something interesting. This phenomenon applies to my system.
It might not apply to yours. But my specs are:
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI
System board V70MA
Processor/Speed AMD-K6(R) 2 350MHz PROCESSOR WITH 3DNOW!
System board chipset ALi M1542/M1543
System board form factor Micro-ATX
Front-side bus speed 100MHz
Using Gary Peterson's Overclocker version 3.0 at :
http://www.voodoo3.net/utlities.htm , I went from the default 143 to 153
with no problem. It increased my fpm's about 25%. I was pleased at the
results. So I went on to 163, and my fpm's actually slowed down to the
default 143. So I backed the OC back down to 153, and the fpm's picked back
up.
So it appears that, with my particular system at least, that something is
interfering with me making the jump from 153 to 163. No doubt something is
getting bottled up on the system board.
But the increase from 143 to 153 is just fine with me. I'll take the 25%
jump and be happy with it. Smoothed everything down for me.
Great job on the program, Gary.

I've got the 2000 AGP... though I wish I'd bought the PCI now and it could
go in my old PC when the V4 comes out.
1) Tied on a 486 fan
2) DLed the 1st utility I spotted on voodooextreme
3) Tried a few speeds... 180 gave visible "sparklies" onscreen, 175 solid
for 6 months now.
