Hi at all,   ;D

I would like to know if 3Dfx did any V5 55k with mem 5'5ns or 5ns? Well, PowerColor did a V3 3500 no TV-OUT called EvilKing3 with mem of 5ns  :o, a V3 3000 with mem of 5'5ns and STB also did a V3 3000 with mem of 5'5ns.

Thanks,
Oscar

I have a PowerColor EvilKing3. My first 3dfx card.

I'll have a look at the memory modules.

My voodoo5 is a Rev A 2300  with Hyundaï RAM. still 6ns but I heard it's good memory, so I wonder if I could get to, say 180mhz w/o any additional cooling (I never o/ced a vid card and I don't want  to do any harm to my voodoo  :P ;D)

I have my voodoo4500 with Hyundai ram doing 210 with the stock stuff :)

my 5500 has 5ns and is running at 200 fine, my other one also had 5ns but could only hit 190 stable, lots to hold that card back though with 2 chips and all that mem on it

¿Can you tell me the Rev. Card?  ;D

Thanks,

Very odd that you can only hit 190MHz, 5ns ram is 200MHz stock (1000/5=200MHz). But then again, there is the issue with only OCing the first chip, which all Voodoo 5 overclockers should be aware of. Also, the stock cooling of a V5 frankly sucks, that could have been your issue. But two V5s with 5ns ram??  :o You are lucky.

Except that now this is different, thks Hanksemenec and Koolsmosky   :) http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=techtalk;action=display;num=1080999078   http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=967

Yep, it's great that they figured that out, it certainly explains a lot of things. But I was referring to his OC with his previous card, which would have been affected by this problem.

Well in fact it explains "not a fat lot". ;)

Personally I'm not jumping around and rejoicing because a patch for a program I don't use and don't want to use has been put out.  I'd rather have seen a post in a topic with the methodology or source behind this so that everyone can benefit not just binaries that reveal precisely nothing.

Not having a go at anyone here, this is good news, but would have been nice to see nonetheless. :)

ok i use powerstrip, now are you saying even with powerstrip im only getting one overclocked, and i think the reason the first card only would do 190 to 195 could have been many factors, but not stock cooling because both my voodoo 5's and 4 have after market cooling on them, but really ill have to read the post on this overclockin issue of just one chip ???

So it is the pllCtrl1 core clock register? We've already done this weeks ago by editing and reflashing the BIOS.  (see VoodooFiles.net) I'd like to see a simple .exe that does this independent of any other software distribution.  For all users.  And I'm sure koolsmoky is the man to do it! 8)

Good news! ;D

Later. ;)

Edit: Oh and forget powerstrip it has the same effect as the Grxclock Dword regtweak value.

Thanks but I know where the board is as I'm a member and I was participating in the topic.  I've been there and posted a response.  Thanks for the link anyway.

Later. 8)
