Daytonas run at 143Mhz default. They don't need any coolig due to the low frequency and the smaller process. I really suggest booting with another video card, and to see if the card is alive. If it isn't, then don't even try capacitors, coolers, etc. You could try to contact Hank and see if he is willing to take a look at it.

About the cooling :

Although (technically) they 'should' run without any cooling, it shows from your picture (and all other Voodoo4-2 4200 cards) that a passive Cooler was mounted.

I'd take the precaution and give the GPU a passive Cooler, better safe than sorry

(mine never became 'hot' during testing, but I don't know what peak GPU temp it would have reached without the passive cooler)

A good address (if he has the time to spare) would be Hank Semenec, in case the card does not work at all. He has fixed alot of prototypes so far...

Congrats on waking the card up. Try latest reference drivers, and if you are using it, you should add a heatsink, as Falconfly allready said.

I'd Say give AmigaMerlin 3.1 R11 a go they worked partually with my 5000 AGP 2D was perfect and 3D worked on in single chip, you could also give Win98SE a shot with the latest Official 3dfx WHQL drivers I'm sure that 3D would do alot better.

But as you see another board was the sollution I knew that that was the case since your problem was rather simillair to mine

Nice work Exxe The Force Is With You Again!

looks sweet Exxe it's like a mix between a Voodoo3 3000 and a Voodoo4-2 4200 with that cooler haha but yeah better to be safe indeed  8)

And I have made some great shots of my 3dfx Voodoo5 AGP Trio Set

hmm nice additons exxe , what happened to the SLI connector on that Voodoo2 card? It looks like it's missing it's Black plastic casing.

well I have news for you also everyone

after my new system has been built I'm gonna continue collecting 3dfx cards just because I mis the sensation and fun by doing so,so thereby will be more added to the list once I hit the 10 cards and up ofcourse, got 6 units at the moment, so here they come hehe:

3dfx Velocity 100 AGP 8MB SGRAM 6ns Rev.A 3399


3dfx Velocity 200 AGP 16MB SGRAM 6ns Rev.A0 2699 [First Prototype 1 of 8 worldwide]


3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB SGRAM 6ns Rev.A0 3700 [ Prototype 1 of 6 worldwide]


3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP 64MB SDRAM 6ns Rev.A 2500


3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI 64MB 6ns Rev.A1 2900 [in use in AXP 2700+]


3dfx Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB 6ns Rev.A 3700
+ 3dfx Voodoo Volts Rev.A 0030


So hey it's small used to be bigger I know but the reason was obvious hehe from now I will collect with ease and see what 3dfx Prototypes there are to find out there

3dfx 4-Eva Everyone!

yeah you have a 5000 AGP and PCI, unless you have a second 5000 AGP or you got mixed up hehe

there are about 10 Voodoo5 5000's around in total I reckon.

here the 10 people I know that have a Voodoo5 5000:

3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI 32MB Rev.A0 4899 --> Osckhar
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI 32MB Rev.A1 0900 --> Edmundoab
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI 32MB Rev.A1 0900 --> G.Donovan
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI 32MB Rev.A1 0900 --> Dead Eye from VA

3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> Osckhar
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> G.Donovan
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> Nightbird aka Patience
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> Rolo01
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> Torch
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 --> Obi-Wan Kenobi heh me


So As far as I know Oscar and you Gary are the only two around I know that have both AGP and PCI models.

Maybe there is an AGP x2 model of the Voodoo5 5000 AGP also one with a AGP x2 connector is there any resemblance of that model as well?
