So what? They too lazy to add one word. Motherboards with Vio do not use the 3.3V voltage from the power supply at all. At all. Such an artifact of the AT era, but presented as an overclocking feature. Not sure I'm following. The Voodoo 3 PCI does NOT draw any significant power from the …

I'm wondering if its a voltage issue? Don't know which of p2-series motherboard you use. But you need download manual and find Vio jumper. Hint. If jumper are 3-position and have choose only 3.5 or 3.65, just remove the jumper. It was be 3.3V The motherboard is an Asus CUV4X rev 1.03 Im running win …

What do you actually mean by "it overheats", how are you determining that? If the card freezes, then there's probably a different issue, one that could be related to the card itself (unlikely, since you also tested another Voodoo 3 PCI with similar results - unclear what those results are), or it …

I tested the computer with a PCI voodoo 3 instead and that one overheated as well. How do you replace the TMI on these? I dont want to destroy the cards. Any other reasons the GPUs are over heating ?

I use a Voodoo3 @ 192MHz with a Celeron 1400 and haven’t had any trouble with overheating. It does have a small fan strapped to its heat sink though, which I understand is a good thing to have even on stock clocked models. Edit: Sorry, I read your post, walked away for 10 minutes, then totally …

Is it possible? My voodoo 3 overheats in the p3 at 933 mhz but works when I clock it down to 466. I even added a fan to the card. Is it just not possible to run a voodoo 3 on this machine?

I have an opportunity to buy a voodoo 3 3000. Should I sell my voodoo 2 8 meg and grab this voodoo 3? Keep the Voodoo2 in the Pentium and put the Voodoo3 in the Pentium3. The card is maxed out, normally, around 800MHz by 1024x768x16, anyway. Shadows don't work for Tomb Raider on a Voodoo3 (or 4 and …

In the end, it ended up being a pretty sweet pentium 1 build. I am very happy with it. I cant wait to finally finish some games I never finished in the past and go back and beat a few that I did finish back in the day. Moving on to setting up my Pentium 3 build in the meantime.
