Page 5 - How To Over Clock Your Videocard!

Your heat sink should work if you could mount it for the card. and Yes you would need a fan that would be big enough to fit onto the heatsink. OR you could get a vga cooler.

You could get the Artic Nv Scilencer RV1 since its compatable with your card. Or you could get Vantec "IceBerq 4" Copper All-In-One VGA Cooling Kit. The vantec one comes with ramsinks which will help overclocking the memory.

hi i have radeon 9200 and im using radlinker and im wondering if i only oc the core or the memory too? is it ok if i mount a fan on to the heatsink to improve the cooling?

yes... you can OC either or both... i find most performance comes from overclocking the memory. which usually doesn't overclock as high

adjust your core speed up a little, test it... then adjust your memory... keep going like that until it starts to mess up... any changes to the screen is an error is bad... you will know it when you see it... then back down the last setting you changed until it works correctly. then once it's running right again, go adjust your other setting and see if it can go higher.
eventually doing this little dance you'll get your max mhz out of it.

adding a fan is always good... any extra cooling is helpful when overclocking

can i fri my card oc it this way and if i can how can i prevent it, is there a number im supost to stay under?and also whan i start to see it "mess up" can i go back and lower it?

i have started and i added 2.25mhz to core and memory but whan i restart the comp the core come back to stock but memory stays OCed why does the core come back to stock?

the core still stays the same but the memory only goes up, i raized it 2.25mhz and not i can't lower it some one tell me wtf is going on?

Either your bios is locked, which dosn't sound like the case or w/e program your using you didn't click to apply the settings on startup. If it's the former google a new bios for your card and flash it.

can you tell me how i can do that? do i just download a file and install it?

well what kind of videocard do you have?

ati radeon 9200

my mobo is ASUS CUSL2-C, i found some bios updates for it but im not shure witch one to use?

SOME ONE PLEACE HELP

whats the difference between oc`ing your card n flashing the cards bios?

it depends on what card your using... i know with 9800 pros and XT's if you flash a pro to an XT it runs at the XT's clock speeds, but it also usually get a bump in FPS at the same clock speed in a few benchmark programs... i think nature in 3dmark 01 is one of them... but then you are considered to have a "slow 9800XT" since it cant keep up clock for clock with a real 9800XT...

and overclocking is just increasing the frequency so it runs higher FPS... but you wont see an increase in visual quality, or extra piplines like the 9800's and XT's and all of them...

there are a few cases where cards have the exact same PCB and chips on board... but are labeled as a slower model... a few 6800 models were like that... easily overclocked to GT speeds (due to having the same chips and PCB) or you could flash it and have a GT it's all the same in that case (if everything is identical)

BTW i really need to update this thread lol

what does a 5900se flash to, a slow 5900non ultra?

probably lol...
look up what it says hahaha
