overclocking issue

orysyz · March 12th, 2004

I just want to know how many of you did overclock the AGP card.

Titus03 · March 12th, 2004

When I had my old GeForce 256, I overclocked it several times. I have overclocked my GeForce 3 only once.

I can say I overclocked twice my ATI AIW9800SE....
1) By softmodding, it was converted to an AIW9800Pro (re-enabling 4 missing pipes)
2) By increasing the Core speed to 392Mhz (not so much) and the MEM speed to 378Mhz. I prefer to increase the MEM speed since I saw ATI's OPenGL is highly dependent of the MEM speed. And I use OpenGL alot.

It works fine without any pbs.

My Voodoo5 5500 is running at 200/200Mhz, default is 166/166Mhz... I've replaced the crappy miniature hs/fans and epoxy with Coppermine class hs/fans and hs gel.

[Thoughtless] · March 12th, 2004

overclocked mine crappy FX5200. But changed it later again. I don't want it fried like french fries

orysyz · March 13th, 2004

You turn it to normal (no overclocking) ?

**cooliscool** · March 13th, 2004

I OCed my GeForce4MX 440 w/ AGP 8X from 260/390 to 350/435.. stock HS/F with Arctic Silver 3.

**hushypushy** · March 13th, 2004

i use the auto overclock thing in the new nvidia drivers...i dont feel like trying to push the most out of it

orysyz · March 14th, 2004

are you guys not having problem like game crashed after OC it?

There shouldn't be a problem providing you supply adequate cooling. The stock HS/Fans on my Voodoo5's chips were hardly enough to cool a BX northbridge... Seriously, I've never, EVER seen anything so small in my life. Frankly I was dissapointed since the Voodoo chips run so damn hot. So I've replaced them both with identical Pentium HS/Fan's. Temps are WAY down... I can feel it.

when i OCed my 5600 too far it was fux0red for about a month. i OCed it something like 400+/600 or something like that, from 325/500...not a good idea. i had artifacts for a while after that.

orysyz · March 14th, 2004

hmmm this is weird, after I OCed it no artifacts appear, but the game crashed.
BTW I'm playing NFS:Underground when the problem happened.

**n_w95482** · March 15th, 2004

I would overclock my card but I have to flash a new BIOS to it for it to work. Whenever I OC my card (or even underclock it), it resets it to stock speeds after about 10 seconds

. I just haven't felt like flashing a new BIOS since I'm inexperienced with the procedure and I don't want to end up with a dead card.

Your card needs better cooling

Huh? Why would it be temporary? That's wierd.

**hushypushy** · March 17th, 2004

yeah, it weirded me out too. i even had artifacts at stock speeds in 3dmark03 for a while, and in CS for a bit. for some strange reason though, after a while at stock speeds it just went back to normal....and now i can OC again, i just leave it at auto-overclock though
