how do i overclock my GeForce FX 5200 128MB AGP for better performance?
here are my comp specs:
Compaq Presario 5000
Ram: 640MB Kingston
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB AGP
Processor: 1.0 Ghz AMD Athlon
HD: 50 GB

The card manufacturer may have an overclocking utility available at their website, or it may have been included with your card. If not, look for one here:

you throw it in the bin and buy a proper graphics card!, or use rivatuner or coolbits
Q-TEC 550 Watt PSU
MSI VIA KT4AV-L
2800+ Barton 512 DDR333
GeForce4 Ti 4200 128Mb
Aero 7 Lite
80Gb Samsung ATA133 HDD
120Gb WD ATA100 HDD
LiteOn LDW-851S
LiteOn LTR-52246S

what u can do is....
go to Regedit....Start>Run>Regedit
(this is assuming u have latest Nvidia driver's installed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/NVIDIA Corp/GlobalIn global. Make a new KEY called NVTWEAK
In this key, make a new DWORD value called Coolbits now, change the value of coolbits to 3.Now when you do into Settings for GFX and advanced settings....you will notice a CLOCK SPEED/FREQUENCY tab. Change them.....go up like 20mhz....or 30 or 50...too high will screw ur card...too low isn't worth the trouble.
So, slowly go up little by little until you notice s--- on ur screen that's dodgy..then just fall back behind that Freq.
Also....another fan taking heat AWAY from the GFX card wouldn't do any harm either.Good luck

one thing that i actually found to work as far as cooling. is first find a fan to fit the heatsink.. then believe it or not take some drywall screws yes i said dry wall screws and cut them to about 1/2" long or so. the dry wall screws will seat into the fins of the heatsink perfectly and not bend them at all. this sounds odd but worked perfectly for me..
