I just got a second Voodoo 2 a week ago to replace a faulty Voodoo 2 i had in my retro build. The first one (8 mb version) couldn't go above 512x(something) resolution without crashing. Now i bought a Voodoo 2 Dragon 12MB and it runs well, but after 3 to 5 minutes i get artifacts all over the screen!
Seriously, are they a dying breed? Now i'm afraid of getting a third one. I measured the chips temperature and the problem occurs when the temperature goes higher than 55\65 ºC. I can stop it from artifacting my games if i add a fan directly blowing at it, but this shouldn't be required at all i guess.
Anyone else as unlucky as i?
