Trying to overclock my ti4200 past 315/585. Help?

[McPhreak]

So far, I've been able to OC my ti4200 to 315/585 and am wondering if my core clock could be higher. However, the slider on the core clock frequency thing is as far to the right as it can possibly go. Is there any way to OC the core on my card past 315? Thanks.

That's a great o/c for a ti4200. Stable? What kind of cooling you doing?

You could use something other than the coolbits hack; but man, I don't know how much higher you can take that thing...

It's a regular Albatron ti4200 128mb. Stock cooling. Seems pretty stable to me. Played CS for a while. Ran 3dMark. No probs.

I really want to take the core higher... Anybody know how to get it to go above 315?

You do realize that the fastest Geforce4 Ti4600 runs at only 300Mhz right? You've gotten a 26% increase in core and 32% increase in memory already. That said, there are usually only two things you can do, increase the voltage going to the agp card if your motherboard supports it, and most don't or get an aftermarket cooler, many of which aren't really better than the stock ones on modern cards.

I'm not asking on ways to get my card to OC higher. It's just that the clock frequency adjustment slider in Windows "only" goes up to 315MHz Max and I'm wondering if there's any way to tweak Windows so that it will let me see if I can push it up to 320+MHz.

In other words, I'd like to push my card to the max, but as of right now, Windows (not the card) won't let me go any further.

Try some other tweaking sw like RivaTuner, Powerstrip, NVtweak etc. Otherwise you could try the following if you are feeling esp brave (and rem it's better to know the max o/c of your card):

Thanks! I used Rivatuner and got it up to 320/585 but alas, there was some flickering of the screen in PCMark which wasn't good...

I guess 315/585 is as good as it gets then...

hi,
in the registary, there are 4 wierdly named values, bart, marge, homer, krusty.
find them and copy the value of the krusty entry, into the bart one, replacing the original bart one. you will now have a additinal 25% on the overclocking slider, if you did it right. back you your registary first though

hope this helps
