Successful G400 Overclock!

Hi,

Just got my new 600eb in today! Tomshardware eat this! Only change I had to make in the BIOS to make it work was to set the AGP aperture size to 64mb instead of 128mb.

No you don´t. G400 don´t run at 88 Mhz AGP on Asus P3B-F. Period.



Or so they said.

My bad. It seems I can never draw a clear line between reality and fantasy.

One thing I would say is that although you card is functioning correctly at the moment, this may not be the case forever. I learnt the hard way and found that after a few weeks my G400 Max no longer functioned correctly - of course this may have been due to a techincal fault with the card, but I believe that my G400 was damaged due to overclocking. All I'm saying is be careful, don't push these cards too far over their specifications - it can lead to disaster!

I'm not a pessimist, so I'm hoping for the best. Hopefully it'll last until May/June when the GF2 comes out. Possibly even until Sept/Oct when the G800 arrives =)
