Hi guys
I picked this up at the flea market on Sunday, €2
At first I was not sure exactly what it was as it is marked 3dfx Voodoo V CV350 Ver1.0 3M, but the 3dfxlogo was enough to persuade me to buy it - oh, and the price!
Turns out this is a Voodoo 4 4500!
Anyway it does not give a picture - it also hangs the PC on POST card code either 41, 42, or 43. It beeeep bip bip to say no graphics card
Two of the wires to the cooling fan are broken off - how do I tell which way round they go?
The GPU just gets warm, not hot, even without the fan
There are no VRMs on this but there is a US1150CM LDO which has 3.3V on pin 5 and 2.7V on pin 3, or very close to that, so that looks OK. The LDO output pin 3 reads 256R to ground
I don't suppose I would be so lucky that it will not detect if the fan does not spin up? it is a 3 wire one.
This was a really nice find I think, it would be rather excellent if I can get it to work
