Ti 4200 Overclock?

[zorasson3]

I wanna OC my ti4200, and have done so with coolbits. If i get a higher-powered cooling solution from compusa, should i be able to break my current OC speed of 260/555? Is it possible? or am i just a crazy man looking for a bear in the middle of a walmart parking lot.

GFX card is as follows

PNY 64mb 4x

OCing is never a sure thing, so no one can tell you if adding better cooling will increase your clockspeeds.

As for me, I'd set aside the money you're planning on spending towards a new videocard.

BTW, why are you OCing it?

it is possible since heat is the number one enemy to overclocking. but it is not the only enemy. other things like not enough voltage to sustain the extra speed (ie bit like needing more fuel/air mixture in an engine to make it go faster) , transistor cross talk (usualy due to the quality of the fabrication) and current leakage, will all limit the core to its maximum overclock

on the memory, just look at your chips, you should be able to find a number telling you the response time. ie if u have a 4nano second ram chip then in theory that chip is capable of 250Mhz. this speed is also down to things like voltage, heat, etc

so u can cool all you want but at some point no amount of cooling is going to help u go faster

wait, how do u judge by the chip what mhz speed u can oc ur core/mem clock to?
