Some time ago using tdfx bios editor I have checked what memory timing are good for overclocking Voodoo 3 & 5 cards.
I had some BIOSes that i knew for sure were overclocable (195 MHz on Voodoo 3 vs 170 with newer BIOS) and some pre-changed for o/c-ing, that can be found on the Net, both for V3 & V5 .

Results
1) Voodoo 3
DramInit0: bit 19 changed from "1" to "0"
DramInit1: bits 1..9 changed from  "256" to "24"
DramInit1: bit 14 changed from "1" to "0"
DramInit1: bit 15 changed from "1" to "0"
DramInit1: bits 16..19 changed from "6" or "10" to "3"
DramInit1: bit 30 changed from "1" to  "0"

2) Voodoo 5:
DramInit0: bits 4..5 changed from "2" to "3"

Memory registers for Voodoo 3 & 5 (and hence Voodoo 4) seems to be the same, so you could try changing all of them listed for these cards (V 3/4/5).

Please note: all instructions are for SDRAM memory only

In Russian you can read the instructions here.
