is there someone who can clock his voodoo5 more then 10% (183mhz and above) and do some benchmarking? i can overclock my voodoo5 just a bit (180mhz on a cold day... :) ) but i have never seen an increase in performance. some people have their voodoo5 running at 190mhz, so they should have a measureable performance increase.

state what voodoo, what bios, what OS, and what OC software you use.
ECS K7s5a@ 147 MHz, Athlon XP 1600+@1825+, Voodoo5 5500 @166 MHz, 512mb pc3200

My V4-4500 PCI, V5-5500 and V5-6000 run at 183 Mhz, but I got no performance increase with the 6000.
If you want I can run some benchmarks.

qrazi, it seems wise to also ask for the rev number of their card.

Voodoo 5 5500 AGP / Rev 1900 / Bios 1.06 / WinXP Pro + SP1 / Voodoo Overclocker / 175MHz max. (haven't tried 176MHz yet but have little faith in that :( (177MHz didn't do well))
