Overclocking a Leadtek Winfast GF4200Ti 128MB?

[Syke]

Hi,
I've just bought a Leadtek Winfast A250LE (GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB). Does anyone know how much I can overclock it? Is it worth the performance? Since the card has a heatsink and a fan, is it risk-free?

Risk Free? No, there is a risk. Very low risk, but its not risk free. Depends how careful you are.

As far as how much you're gonna get, overclocking is just luck, you might not even get 5mhz. Cards are just guaranteed to run at the stock speeds. Its just luck.

As far as its "worth it"... thats a personal decision. You could damage you card. Or you can actually get it running faster than it should, without any negative effects. Its worth it to me. I'm very careful with overclocking to be sure I don't damage anything.
