  • Overclocking G400 MAX to 414ppl 165/207

    Hello there!

    I have overclocked my G400 MAX to 165mhz core
    207mhz memory. To do that I was using
    MGA Tweak 1.12. Here is how I done it:

    In "Clock Dividers & Selection" set this:

    GCLK = Fo/2.50 SYSPPL
    MCLK = Fo/2.00 SYSPPL
    WCLK = Fo/2.50 SYSPPL

    Then in "System PPL Clock" put "414" and click apply.

    Everything is done.
    My quake 2 in 1024*768*16 was 105fps now its 120fps, so as you can see you can gain some fps.

    Only one thing, I heard about system ppl, that its not recomendated to use sys-ppl more then 310mhz, is it true ??? Whats going to be if I still going to use 414mhz sys ppl ?

    My system: Pentium-2 350mhz, 64mb pc-100 ram,
    Sound Blaster 64AWE, Western Digital 13gb, Pioneer dvd-rom 6x/32x, Monitor Sony 200ES.

    you need to set the dividers, disable duty cycle, then o/c it, keep going, there's more to come from that Max

      what does disabling duty cycle do?

      and do you do that by just setting all of the values to 0?

              How I tested my quake-2, after q2 started I went in console typed "map q2dm1" then w/o any movement I used "timerefresh" command
              thats were I got 105fps and 120fps. In res
              1280*960*16 now I am getting 79-80 and before I had 70.

              I didnt used memory tweak because I am getting gliches (some pixels in wrong places)
              in games, not too much gliches but still it doesnt looks good. And I didnt dicabled
              Duty Cycle Correction. Duno but it seems that it doesnt helps to anything.

                One more thing. Yesterday after my comp was turned on all day and I was using it, when I played about 15-25 min in q2 I suddenly got my picture got screwed up. Here in Buenos Aires its very hot right now, does this happend because processor on G400M got too hot ?

                If anything I said wrong, sorry for my english, I am Russian. :-)

                    usa el programa de matrox a mi me tira mas fps.
                    y para decir cuanto te tiro el q2..
                    pone primero "timedemo 1"
                    y despues "demomap demo1.dm2"
                    eso es el promedio de lo que tira la placa...

                          yes i have a g400max
                          and i play in ciudad too....
                          i had the same problem, but i put a g200 heatsink instead of the one that came with the max...that helped
                          and for overclocking i use the matrox tweak utility at 110%..i had better results (fps)with this program...

                            Maybe you can put a fan at the back?
                            I was using swrews on the holes on the G400 but when I found out it was screwing my board up I stoped and know I'm finding something else.

                              Well yes I thought of that too.
                              I think I ll try to put another fan on the back of my G400M. But it will be on next week.
