how safe would it be to overclock a voodoo 3 in increments of 5 without a cooling fan? i run open case with room temp at about 70

Which voodoo3 is it?... the 2000, 3000 or 3500?

2000

I think for the 2000 that would work just fine until you get to about 164-69. Assuming you get that high without any problems then you might want to slow it down and go in smaller increments. Granted I'm saying while all I did was grab the slider and yanked it to up 180. But it worked so no complaints here.

You should get to about 166/166. This is what I got with my Voodoo3 2000. However, the heatsink ram SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER hot because it didn't have a fan on it.

if your going to overclock a v3 2000, besure add a fan to your system, just put a slot fan under it or mount a case fan to blow air on it, cheap and easy. most 2000's will run at 166

i think i'll just stick one of those big box house fans on my case and push my card to its limits
