Amazing job! It seems that your soldering skill is growing with each video!! Good to see another V5 alive and kicking, looking forward to see it in a future build!
Dude! You did an amazing job! 3Dfx was such an important company for the history of PC gaming. Never used a Voodoo 5, but I remember when I first got a Voodoo 1 and booted a game. It was seriously a shocking moment seeing games run and look at lot better so quickly.
@@ScanLinesAU The Rendition Verite might be the first proper accelerator, but the Voodoo 1 was the first to get it everything right. You felt like you got an entirely new computer after using it.
The way you edited this video looks really nice. I can't quite tell what is different about it (maybe nothing!) but I like it! Also your microscope/recording setup when you were repairing the board is super clever
Thanks, well I've started adding music to some videos now, so I think that definitely helps. Also using transitions to make everything smoother, new lighting too, yeah a lot of things have changed recently! Oh yeah, I just used my phone for that, it actually worked really well!
Wow! Good work! Just some extra advice though, even though it is working now you should think about replacing the electrolytic capacitors - they are what have been killing these cards over the years, they are so old now they need replacing. If you replace them per-emptively, you should protect the card for the future. Well done again! So impressed someone so young has such skills & interest in older hardware.
Yep sure was. I just looked for ones which were either missing or damaged. It was easy to tell if a part was missing, since the solder pads would have solder on them, with an indentation of where the old component sat.
Anyone know which SMD caps I need for C505 and C506 mine have gone missing? Card still works but every once and a while I get lines and a crash at boot. I’ve got the list of components for the Voodoo5 but I’m not sure what to buy. C506-100nF/0, 1 F 16V 0603 X7R 5 or 10% C505-1,3nF

Thank you! Yeah I'm doing a lot more repairs, way more confident now. Yeah going to use it with some pretty nice hardware.

Thanks!! They really were hey. That's cool, wasn't Voodoo 1 the 1st proper 3d accelerator for PC or something?

Great job 👍🏻 Your soldering skills have improved so much, this is my favourite content from #gpujune so far.
Thanks! Yep been practicing. That's cool!

Haha thanks, I actually did do a full recap of the card a while back now since it was having some other issues. Works perfectly ever since
wow good job bud 🙂
Thanks, your videos are awesome too, I watch them all!
Great video - you’ll go far !
Amazing job 👌👌👌👌 jealous u got that card
Oh my, you are a lucky boy! 🙂 Congrats to you these cards are damn expensive even when they are damaged. Nice videos btw 😉 keep on going
Thanks! Yeah I got this one for a decent price, got lucky with the repair.
Excellent soldering skills, well done!
Thanks!
That looked like a tough job. How did you know which components needed to be replaced?
Yep sure was. I just looked for ones which were either missing or damaged. It was easy to tell if a part was missing, since the solder pads would have solder on them, with an indentation of where the old component sat.
Where did you find the values for those 2 caps? The online list sure does not contain.
Thanks.

Just found your channel, great video. You have a new subscriber :)
How old are you? Sounds like the voodoo has 10 years on you? Great job and awesome to know there are some youngsters into retro hardware :)
nice of you not letting that voodoo 5 go to the garbage
3dfx card always run smoother on glide
That's true, though in this example I just wanted to confirm the cards functionality.
let me download the full list of the board details please 1:20
