I guess I should not mention then I had planned on modding a spare Daytona with Hanks help and clocking it at 275+ mhz and extrapolating the data to figure out what a Daytona based V5-6000 would do.



Ya, already know that, but it doesn't sound the same, no? Wink

I mean, to do a mod for testing and inquiries it's a thing, because it's what we are speaking about, a test. Do a mod because this will bring a not so clear *second breathe* (when was already done), it's another thing.

Although I see both sides of the argument, I shudder to think what might have happened to my former V5 6000, had it got modded in this way.

If you are serious about getting the full potential out of your 6000 cards, why would you use air cooling, when there's water cooling, Peltier and liquid nitrogen...   Wink

trevormacro used a 'common' V5-6000 3700A. He not used a virgin 6000  3700A, 3400 A3, 2600 A2 or another rare V5-6000 card. Simply a reworked Hank's card to check if the afirmation from Hank about if 3rd revision silicon, only used on 3700A/3900A rev, is to able to run over 200MHz cooled by air.

Anyway, card has not been damaged or killed. Both heatsink are anchored with screws. He can take out both heatsink easily. They were not pasted with adhesive glue, so on... Anyway I understand people don't like to use a V5-6000 for such dangerous project or simply because the card has more nostalgic value if it is kept in o riginal condition.

For me it is a very attractive project. Perhaps because I love overclock and modding world and of course V5-6000s cards.

Best regards,
Oscar.

No offense, but each V5 6000 card is unique, they are protoype cards, not production cards. There's no "common" V5 6000...

Actually there was several hundred 3700A's churned out, as close to a production board as it gets.

Hank alone had at least 100 if not more and indicated upwards of 700 were produced.

To give you a frame of reference, most prototype boards only see 10 to 20 samples tops.

If I am incorrect, please let me know but to the best that I can recall this is correct information.

I would be stupid to say that I know this better than you. I'm sure than your information is accurate. One question, to be sure that I understand this: you are saying that 3dfx had a production line set for V5 6000?

I was under the impression that they didn't managed to setup a machine that could mass produce V5 6000 and that they were all "hand made". Of course they weren't soldered by hand, what I'm trying to say is that they require human assistance for each board and that each board was unique, because they never managed to get a fully stable layout and an automated line for mass production.

All I'm stating is that several hundred 3700A were made, how they were made is a question better directed towards Hank.

I will point out with utmost politeness this board-

...

Clearly the boards could be made in a mass produced manner.

@RaverX - the only "true" proto boards are the copper boards that are clearly a one-off... Wink

Most other stuff (yup even the V5 6000) were on a prod-line. Roll Eyes

Copper don't make the prototype Roll Eyes

If you want to consider a Voodoo5 6000 as a production card, maybe you should think at the numbers fisrt.

The Aston Martin One-77 is effectively a production car. But they will make only 77 cars for all the world.
