Fingers crossed replacing the resistor will fix your card's issues.🤞 Hopefully. Let's see. Recently got the 33 ohm 0603 resistor and soldered it a few days back: Voodoo 3 repaired.jpg Next was anxiously awaiting the heatsink. The one ordered through ebay would probably take another couple of weeks. …

Press the chips to the board one by one with your fingers during POST or BIOS and see wether the patterns change. If they do you have bad connections on those chips where it changes when you press them to the board. If not you most likely damaged the card or chips in another way. To repair the …

GeForce 4 Ti cards are overall very compatible with DOS and Win9x games. Solid choice, though probably bottlenecked on this system. VooDoo2 as Glide accelerator makes sense as well. You can use a passive DVI-HDMI adaptor on GF4Ti with most monitors. The V2 is VGA only, meaning you'll need an active …

Nice update!👍 Some Banshees get very hot and some discoloration on the back isn't unusual, especially with a simple heatsink like that. Still you could check wether that LDO works right by checking what voltage it's putting out. If it malfunctions the chip may be overvolted. Also it's probably just …

It's normal to be able to push the heatsink around a bit if you replace the thermal pad with paste. Don't worry. Press the heatsink firmly onto the chip, don't rely on the pins alone to initially squeeze the heatsink on the chip and spread the paste between them into a thin layer. Once the paste is …

R65 appears to be missing on your card and R66 looks like it may need resoldering as well. They're right above the main chip. Try replacing/resoldering those before you replace your RAM chips. I think both are 33Ohms but I don't currently have any V3 cards here to check myself.

Did you replace the original suspicious capacitor? Maybe it is crucial to operation. Also are you using original drivers or something like fastvoodoo that overclocks the card? Some aren't stable with those?
