Hey fellas!
I am running a Chaintech GT20 ti 4200 128 MB on 1ghz athlon, and as you might have guessed, I never tried overclocking it as the cpu is the major bottleneck. As of recently, I am hoping to upgrade to a P4 2.4 ghz and thought maybe I should ytry and see how far will this chip allow to push it. So I downloaded powerstrip and checked my defaults. The engine is fine at 249.something mhz but my ram was reported at 405mhz !!!!:Q Anyone else running this card come accross something like this? Is the ram really underclocked or is powerstrip fouling it up somewhere. So I pumped up the ram to around 425 mhz and noticed I could put my finger without burning it for a second or two on the ram chips. Just for the heck of it, I pushed the gpu to around 265 mhz and things looked pretty normal under 3dmark2001se. But when I put my hand below the fan on that thing, I noticed it was spitting more fire than usual. What's the usual ceiling on these chaintech cards? And while we are at it, how can I safely know I aint pushing it too far? And what do the artifacts resulting from ocing gpu/ram look like?
Thanx in advance.

. I am hoping to hit ti 4400 levels. People with chaintech ti 4200s, please post your oc results.
