How fast can a G400 be?

[Kylince]

It seemed no major speed up after a G400 is over-clocked, or still not enough? I managed to over-clock mine from 126(Gclock) to 143, but at this speed it can't pass the bump maping test of 3d mark 99 max.

Does anybody have higher scores?

my system is about PII 400 128MB 15GB

150/200 g-/mem-clock ...

add aonther fan to the backplate of your G400 right on the center where the chip is located on the other side.

The limit I get out of the G-chip is 162, but the memory on my board only goes to 196 before I start getting artifacts. So I run mine at 156.6/195.75 when playing games. This is a little faster than a stock G-400 Max. I use MGA tweak with 2.5/2/2.5 dividers and 391.5 PLL.

I'm running mine at
PLL 455.14
GCLK 182.06 Fo 2.5
MCLK 227.57 Fo 2
WCLK 182.06 Fo 2.5

and still searching for the best sgram optimizations

OT, Mike, how come your not running your system @least 133?

[Zenfe]

Damnit Mike, I can't even push my FSB past 103 (or 206) and i have the same motherboard as you.
When I go to boot up after changing the FSB to 104 (or 208) I get a windows protection error.

Got any suggestions?

[Snake-Eyes]

Zenfe, I've seen that error when I was trying to find my fastest o/c settings, too. It is usually a memory problem- the memory just can't handle the higher bus speed. This isn't the only possibility, but probably the most likely.

got my vanilla g400 running at 158/210 with gx performance tuner,got an extra heatsink and fan bonded to the back of the chip though!!
i cant o/c my p3-500(eb6 mobo) more than 525(105*5.5) without it locking up,any ideas!!

Glynnoss,
do you have your agp set to 2/3 instead of 1/1?
