Shame the card doesn't have internal hookup. Undecided

You might want to consider getting that added - as the "Voodoo Volts" (whilst cool) are not a good idea. Tongue

Basically you would be running the card from an external PSU that has a separate Ground to the PC PSU - not clever! Roll Eyes

BTW - I like how the previous owner has tested for Clock speed vs BIOS number. Cool

Why is that a shame? In Agent500s opinion is every card with the internal hookup no original Voodoo 5 6000 anymore.

That card should be run with the voodoo volts. He wanted to keep it in the original shape.

Very true. I had some good long talks with Agent500 and I think the same why he does. I want to keep the card as close to factory spec as possible. I really like the 3dfx stickers instead of the AAVID stickers.

I personally think that the Molex/1pin solution is the best out there.
1 - no card modification
2 - no separate power supply providing (unsafe?) power
3 - only Kokohemmo has the same Molex adapter, so it's pretty rare, for a rare card.

Hi

I have made the molex power plug adapter and it works. I have only tested it in short time.

I have also tested my voodoovolts and it worked, but in this case also just a testing for it. I had heard that voodoovolts may do voltage clitches, which may damage the card.

razrx: Be carefull if you are using the power plug connection. I don't know is that safe way to power up the card thru power plug for longer use. Anyways power plug connection with molex should be more safier than voodoovolts.

Normally I power up my card internal hookup straight to the card with molex connection.

Thanks for the comments! It seems to me to make perfect sense though to use a Molex connector to 1pin as the Molex provides 12V power, which is what the v56k requires. I'm assuming that 4.2amps is controlled at the 1pin adapter?

I think I will make a cable myself, hopefully better one. I went to The Dodge Garage, and saw this info:

"Hank Semenec indicates his leads come from a ATX power supply to P4 Motherboard power adapter cable. The P4 motherboards have a mandatory square 4 pin power connector that is required for operation, hence the adapter for ATX power supplies missing them. A quick Google search shows many vendors with these cable for sale at a few bucks a pop. Lop the 4 pin plug off, ...." (http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/v6k_faq.htm)

I have one of those 4 pin power connectors already, but where would I get a 1 pin 4.6Amp-12V cable and connector?
