Here's what you have to do.

Edit your registry as follows:

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NV Tweak and add a DWORD called CoolBits and give it a value of 3.
This will get you the OC sliders back.

Let us know how you make out.

one more thing..........how far can i SAFELY oc my geforce2mx?

 

[Mem]

Try 190 core & memory 190 if stable work your way up don`t try to high for first time but the average is 210 core 210 memory.If you start getting corrupted pixels reduce memory speed.

 

[Maverick2002]

180 core + 170 memory (only +5mhz for each) stable so far.........thx guys

btw, how much excess heat will be caused if i take it to 190?

 

[Mem]

I have my core on my MX up to 220mhz so keep going,normally it`s the memory speed that will stop you overclocking first ie, corrupted pixels .

ok cool thx

Hey, I'm doing the same thing Mav. My question is this......What kind of performance increases have yall gotten while o'clocking? I've been playing around with my memory/clock speeds, and somehow the higher I go, the lower my fps. (I'm using Q3 demo001 to test at 1024x768) When setting my core/memory speeds around 200, I end up losing approx. 3 fps. ?? Stumped me, but I'm new to o'clocking so......any response is appreciated.

and get this....i get the highest fps with the setting 155/145 (core/mem), the lowest settings for both core and memory. Approx a half frame increase from default settings (175/166).... i'm confused

Marshal777 ,use 3Dmark2000 ,(from madonion.com),My 3d scores kept getting higher the more I overclocked,& when I went back to slower speeds,3D score was lower.

 

[Marshal777]

Thx mem, I ran the 3dmark, and I was getting a quite noticable improvement with the o'clock. Still dunno why it doesnt help my Q3 performance. (Sqeezin' all the fps out that i can. Have to make those jumps a little easier ) By reading articles, like the one on this site, it shows dramatic improvement in Q3 with o'clocking the GF2mx, but every system's diff, so, anywayz.
