How high can a geforce2 mx400

[peek]

HOw high can a Geforce2 mx400 overclock with just a stock fan a and heatsink on the gpu?Right now I have it at 204gpu/165mem.But I'm only getting aroung 1600 points in 3dmark2k1.

Hi Is I gpu will max out at 200-210. You can clock more but it might kill it.

The ram speed wil depemd on what kind of ram is installed.

My ol mx200 could reach 180mhz!

from the stock of 166

I think you can increase them mem to upto 175.

Increse slowly..

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Ive had the GPU up to 250.. which i dont reccomend you try, and the memory to about 185. After that things get choppy

allright I'll take my mem to 175 or a little higher.

What drivers are you using?? Try 29.42.

You should be getting 3000 ish without overclocking., unless you got a cpu less than one gig.

I know I should be getting aroung 3000 but I think my card is messed up.I got an Athlon xp1800.But I play everything in 16bit colors anyway since I dont see a difference.

[athlonxp]

mine can go 270mhz gpu with 2.8v and 265mhz memory
with pIII stock cooler without ramsink.
3dmark is around 3900-4200marks


vagp @1.8v

LOL!



all I get is 1900-2200 notin more than this.
p4 1.7
256mb sdr ram
40bg segate baracudaa!

I dont really care about it unless it affects my gameplay.

Then you both got to experiment with the drivers, I get 3125 with a 1.4 athlon, 756mb of pc2100 and a 7200rpm 60gb maxtor.

But, only with 22.50 and 23.11 drivers, all the others drop my score to your levels, 1500-2000, so if your interested, visit www.guru3d.com where they have all the driver versions, but please make sure you do the old driver uninstall procedure first, as this is important, needs to be done each time.

BTW oc G2mx average about 4000 3d2001 marks, but I can't be @rsd getting mine cooled enough to oc properly. 3000 at stock should be your aim.

With a 40mm fan on the stock heatsink, I've been able to get a Chaintech GeForce2 MX 400 64MB (PCI) up to 254/190. No graphical artifacts after 2 days of 3dmark looping. Note that this is with plenty of case ventilation.

For the record, I've had the GPU all the way up to 280. It'll do it, just the memory has to be running at stock. Begs for an overvolt

All: I wouldn't recommend going above 245/180. That is pretty much how high it will go with passive cooling... I've had it near boiling point with the card too hot to touch and still didn't get any artifacts at those speeds. (This was in a cramped compaq system)

By the way, 245/180 is how high my crappo Verto 32MB MX 200 AGP will go with a small heatsink and low-speed 40mm fan. these cards are good OCers, they just need to be ventialted well. And I guarantee a linear framerate ramp the higher you OC. Just don't go too far, too fast with too little cooling... the card's voltage regulators could go belly up on you.

Today I'm donna try to rig up a 92mm fan I have laying aroung over it.But in a couple of months I'm going to get a ti4200 or Radeon 8500.

me too.

Do you which ti4200 you'll get I think I'm donna get the Abit Siluro with 64mb of 3.6ns mem.
