Can I get opinions on a safe overclocking rate to go to on a Voodoo3 PCI
WITHOUT an additional fan. (My PC already has 1) Thanks in advance.
Increase the clock in SMALL increments 5mhz or less, is it a 2000?
Increase and test.. as soon as u see gfx glitches, or sys locks up,
anything out of the norm, turn it back 2 mhz

I don't have a PCI V3 card here sorry, but I do have an AGP card. I
cannot imagine that one gets much hotter than the other?
My V3 card is a 2000 which runs by default at 143Mhz, mine is running
happily at 175Mhz.
Personally, I have one fan on the cpu, one fan on the psu, and two fans
on the V3 card, and I have the PC case off, just to make sure they don't
overheat. but, I overclock everything!!!

PC fans cost about �5.00 each in the UK, so they are dirt cheap, why
risk your system for the sake of �5.00?
You may be able to overclock the card without a fan, but why risk it?

Martyn,
a long way to go if you crank up 5mhz each time. I recommend some bigger steps
like 5MHz

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

He was making a joke about your units. Small "m" is normally "milli" while
large "M" is normally "mega". 5 millihertz would be a very small increase
indeed. :-)
ugh... well ok
