So, Not sure your card is limited for 6ns as it is limited for the heat though. - Oscar. Yes, It's difficult to be sure...

After all to achieve high frequencies (183+) with the Voodoo3 series, 3dfx did a special PCB for the 3500... Or a limitation of the VSA100 itself as it was construct with a 183mhz target ?

Winter temperatures and a waterblock are different things. The waterblock only cools the memory, the VSAs and the HiNT, but not the card itself. At least the card/PCB does not get as cool as with winter temperatures.

But it might be also one of the VSA is limiting or the whole design isn't running synch at that high frequency?! To much leakage current could also cause problems, like Narmounet indirectly noted. A Rev 3900 could be a better player when it comes to overclocking.

Hi

Great work Trevo and good videos...

Just wondering, that when you allready have these cool looking massive heat blocks, go to Peltier...

If you want to know, how far VSA and memory can go in Voodoo5 6000, Peltier is the answer.

No messing around with water, because your settings are allready good looking, so go in to deep ICE ...

Regards
