I did the voltage mod with my Voodoo 3 Hehe

[Guest]

Instead of using a 10Kohm potentiometer, I used a pushpin because I was not able to solder the potentiometer.

Anyway, the core of my Voodoo 3 2000 PCI runs at 3.1 volts instead of 2.6.

Before I could not overclock past 143 when using fast FSB speeds (75, 83 mhz) - 3dMark failed.

Now I can run it at 177 mhz (core and mem) at any FSB, the core endures a lot more speed, but the crappy SGRAM refuses overclocking.

I have placed ramsinks over the ram chips, but it does not improve overclocking capabilities... maybe with some active cooling on them...

SEARCH FIRST, THEN POST

So have you fried the card yet? You had better add cooling because those cards do get hot even without overclocking.
