Hi guys!!

it`s been a long time sice my last visit to this great forum  ;D...

Well, my problem is that : I have right now two voodoo1 diamond monster... and i want to volmod one of them.. to raise, uuhmm.. 70mhz? xD

Well.. anybody knows how to do? I mean... i`ve searched over the internet and no results  :(

sorry for my poor english  :-[

Saludos desde chile!

i am also looking for vmods for Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 but no result yet :(

I found some for the Voodoo2 and Banshee on Osckar`s forum  :D

www.voodoo3dfx.com/Foro

But none for V1 yet like you said  :-/

oh thanks, can you copy the whole content of the vmod post here?

i dont want to register to view the topic...

Xenon´s Voodoo2 Vmod Este mod es muy similar al que hice ayer para la Banshee (ver foro Banshee). El voltaje de los chips 3Dfx en la Voodoo2 es de 3,6V y viene dado por el siguiente circuito: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/931/v2vmodex2gn.jpg Basta con quitar R100 y soldar una resistencia fija de 200 Ohm en serie con una variable de 100 Ohm (puesta al mínimo) entre el pin 1 del mosfet y tierra. Para subir el voltaje aumentad la resistencia de la resistencia variable. To Be Continued   PD: Aun no lo he probado, pero estoy seguro que funciona

i Hope you can understand spanish language  ;)

Powered by Xenon  ;D

pd: based on these papers... is possile to make a voltmod for a V1?  ???

thanks...

finally i can go for a new V2 world record  8)

What is the record now btw :P?

Wich application will do the metering? 3DMark99?

Can't say it will not work since vmods are quite simple to figure out for someone who knows something about electronics, but still he said the thing is still untested :P

@TM30: on 3dfxzone you posted that you already tried overvolting using the Mosfet, resulting in some errors.
Or is this voltmod a little different?

@st4r4m4m4: 3Dmark 99 MAX isn't a good benchmark for the Voodoo2, because it has a certain bug when you run the FPS test  the first time, the second time you run it go's faster. I used to let the test run for about 15 times (any higher and I always got some strange error).
This way the score would be a little bit more 'correct'
it is something like benchmarking with Quake3.

Maybe Unreal tournament.... that's a true glide game.

We'll see it's up to TM30 to decide in wich "category" he will be the word champion ;D

I wish to test the V1 voltmodded on GLQuake  8)

Well, TM30, can you make the voltmod for the Voodoo1 based on these papers??

I want to squeeze this V1  8)

i cannot see this kind of mosfet on any voodoo 1 (voodoo graphics) board... so a volt mod has to be placed at a different point. but i do not know where, at the moment, but i will give it a try, and try to analyze it..

... i did not yet made this voodoo 2 vmod but i will do it in the next days...

... and i use 3dmark2001 because only with this benchmark i can prove my results by using the ORB result browser, so i can give you a compare url

now i checked all smd parts on a voodoo 1 board... but one part i checked is the PLL (Clock generator) and the other is an inverter...

so my as.sumption  is: the voodoo 1 board gets their power DIRECTLY from PCI bus, and this is 3,3v

(LOL i cannot write the word as.sumption without the "." ... it "detects" the word "ass" and replaces it with "disagree"... oh my god ;) )

conclusion: you cannot change it UNLESS you have a power supply with adjustible rails. but beware, when you raise the 3,3v line in your power supply you will increase it for all other components aswell...
