feeling stupid, but how do I underclock my TNT2U?

[Adul]

I cant seem to find a overclocking utility that works in windows 2000. I have a maxigamer xentor32 Ultra and I think it is getting fried. Please help

Just use the CoolBits reg entry.
But why now just wait until it fries and then have them send you a new one?

cause I want it to be stable. No back up card to go too either...

And it is keeping me from running games at 800 mhz. I am at 600 because of this stupid card. Time for a new one almost

This is intresting, i too have a xentor32 that i had to downclock to 170mhz to keep it stable and i think i saw a couple other posts here about the same problem also.
Guillemot stopped answering my questions and my 1 year warranty ran out, oh well 5mhz doesnt make that big of a difference right?

Did you try TNTClk? I don't remember if I used it in Win2K, but I'm pretty sure I did. If you can't find it on the web I think I have it on my home computer. If you want me to send it to you just email me.

I also have tn2ULT with win2k but it's a creative. It's been crashing after a prolong period of Quake2. Under-clocking didn't help me so I just live with it and wait for new drivers.

sad thing is I am on a clean install of win2k and win me. both with 5. drivers. Sigh, I got it to undclock in winme for now. I think it is time for a small upgrade. geforce 2mx sounds tempting

I had the same problem with my Xentor 32 when I put it in another machine. You can download Guillemot's own overclocking slider (Powersprinter) and set it back to 150MHz core. They also have a BIOS update you can flash which sets the speeds back to 150/183.

This is a common problem with this card.
