Idenitifying my G400 . ..

[Ad B]

This may seem like a stupid question. But how do Identify whether my G400 is a standard 32Mb or MAX version. Because it came with a fan on the chipset, plus windows seems to think it's a G400 Max.

The thing is I ordered a standard card . . .

[Jorden]

A MAX has 5 nanosecond memory onboard... but the fan was a give-away already

haha, consider yourself lucky. As far as I know, the standard 32mb card just came with a really big heatsink. The MAX comes with a smaller heatsink ?? and a fan. Of course, I could be wrong....

Check out the RAMDAC: if it´s 360Mhz, consider yourself lucky...

Also, I think that the graphics clock is 166Mhz, higher than the standard G400.

I´m almost sure that the fan is G400 MAX exclusive...

Check this with MGA Tweak or with Powerstrip.

If PowerDesk identifies it as MAX, it's MAX.
Just go to Advanced Propertioes - Info.

Then my g400, is also a max although it doesnt have a heatsink, it does have a 360 mhz ramdac, and pd identifies it as a max!

Guess Im lucky!

Well, by default the Graphics and Warp clock run at 150, and the memory at 200.

I overclock it to about 163/204 it could go higher but it overheats ^-^

I doubt it's a MAX then?

[Kruzin]

150/200 is the proper default clocking for a MAX.
With those clockings, the fan, and the drivers IDing it as a MAX, there is no doubt that it really is a MAX....

Whoohooo!


Yeah!

sorry :0)

[HollyBerri]

it could go higher but it overheats

...Errr...if it overheats, that's kinda a signal that it can't go higher, extreme cooling notwithstanding...the reason the cooling becomes 'extreme' then, is to overcome the obvious natural limits of the silicon symptomized by the overheating....

*sigh*

Sorry, what I meant was, that without more extensive cooling it would overheat.
