my first overclock(kinda sad actually, lol)

[toph99]

i just hit the max on my Voodoo3 2000PCI. lol, i figure i might as well start o-cing somewhere. got it from 143mhz(ram and cpu) to 177, but then i started gettin anomolies, so i had to clock it down to 175. i had a 486 heatsink fan and an 80mm antec fan blowing on it. i was hoping for 180+ but you can't always get what ya want i guess

Seems about average to me. Spend $14 on Artic Silver grease and you will get 180mhz but does it really matter?

That's about how much I got for one of the Voodoo3 2000 that I've tried. 175 is fast enouugh if you have a 600MHz system.

I think Arctic Silver got me only about 5 extra MHz or so, but part of that is because the memory is now limiting my setup.

I get 182 MHz before the rare memory artifact shows up. I run 179 MHz simply because it's almost exactly 25% faster than stock speed and there's no difference from 181 (obviously).

Before Arctic Silver (using standard paste, not that crap 3dfx glue job), at more than 175 or so I could sometimes get the video to stutter after extended play, which I believe is a GPU overheating issue as opposed to a memory problem.
