voodoo banshee on fire?

[mage]

ack, my card is on fire!!
i have a voodoo banshee, i know it came with no fan and only a heat sink,... but i can understand that because its only 125mhz. Recently i opened up my computer to throw in some more SDram when i literally felt the heat radiating from the heat sink of my 3D accelerator!! that fu**er was steamin! and it even gives you the option to overclock it in its setup =P

That is a little freaky - my banshee was rated at 100/125 (CPU / Memory), but was originally set to 100/100. It has a heatsink on it, and goddamn was it hot! I recently clocked it at 110/125, and it seems OK, just a little hot....

I wonder how long it will last? Well, when it burns out - i'll need a new gfx card anyway (like, i need a better one now...)

the ****ty part is, all Voodoo cards are overclocked as a default. the banshee is no exception. I almost melted a layer of skin off trying to slide in another card beside it!

125MHz?!?!!? That's severe overclocking for a Banshee, default is usually 100, 110 maximum. My CL 3DBlaster Banshee tops out at 117, I tried 120 but it crashed 125? a tesco's bag in a Blast furnace would last longer and probably stay cooler as well!!

Look out!!
My train of thought is a runaway!!

I still have Banshee running it at 120/120 with a 60x60mm fan on it. Higher than that is unstable. Quite a lot of boost from the standard setting; an increase of 10 fps in Quake2's demo1.dm2. This is with a K6-2 500Mhz.
