Max speed for Voodoo 3 3000?

[8bit]

I overclocked my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP to 185MHz and it was rock solid in UT. I then up'ed it to 200MHz and the system locked up when I launched any game. What's the highest anyone gone with the V3 3k? Thanks.

I got mine up to 199mhz but that is it... at everything above it resets to default for some reason

Mine used to go to 187 but I think I damaged the chip and now it only runs at 170.

by the way, I tossed a 60mm sunon fan on mine so it takes up 2 pci and one agp slot runs cool now though

Dark4ng3l,

How did you know you damaged the chip? What are the symptoms?
I get much better frame rates at 185 so I'm quite happy to stay there. I also have a PCI type exhaust fan beneath the Voodoo. Would that help in cooling the card? Thanks.
