I was thinking of buying the ALBATRON GeForce 4 TI4200P TURBO and over clocking it. but the motherboard I want to get the albatron PX845PEV PRO says its agp voltage only goes up to 1.5volts. anandtech review says it goes up to 1.6volts. I need to know if it is possible to get some decent video over clocking with this motherboard? any one have experience with this card?
- Also which voltage is correct for this mother board?
:confused:

:eek: Although it is popular with the hardcore o/c'ers I'd pers leave all voltages well alone. It stresses the card in a way it was never designed, produces a lot more heat, rarely allows anything noticably extra, can often effect stability and has an adverse effect on the lifespan of the component. The Albatron P Turbo should get you between 290/650 and 320/720 without having to worry about anything other than raising the clocks a little at a time, if you back off a couplke of notches when you find both the limits then there should be no adverse effects what-so-ever and still a substantial perf boost!

;) Yup Coolbits is the easiest and most 'strandard' method, there are a few other apps (RivaTuner etc) which allow further tweaking too. Basicly you have core and RAM clock speeds (eg. 250/500 denotes 250mhz core and 250x2 for DDR = 500mhz RAM) and you simply want to raise each slowly until you find visual glitches, then back it off a couple of notches for the long term and you're set!
