Comment: Well, I got my cooling problem resolved; not enough hs compound. Next, I got my O/C completed and tested tell me what you think; considering I was unable to increase vcore or mess with multiplier; not supported on board. AMD XP2100+ was @ 1734MHz now @ 1915MHz FSB from 133 to 147 ( any more video won't boot memory clock From 133 to 166 (done by SPD auto) sys temp. 35c @ idle 37c @ full load 6hr. cpu temp. 49c @ idle 53c @ full load 6hr. Video TI 4200 scored 10849 @ 250 core clock & 500 memory clock (factory defaults) NOW: scored 11204 3D Mark 2001 SE @260MHz core clock & 550MHz memory clock (any video suffers) Did I missed anything? Any comments or suggestions being that this is my first real race horse (all 233's - 550's in the past) By the way I'm running a ECS Elitegroup L7VTA mobo

Reply: (edit)By the way I have these settings in my bios but they didn't seem to change anything; does my processor need to be unlocked for them to work? CPU Voltage Adj. (Normal,+1.1%,-0.6%,+2.3%) DIMM Voltage Adj. (Normal,+9.8%,-2.8%,+6.4%) Or do I have to disable this so I can Manually configure (sure was easier with jumpers) Atuo Detect DIMM/PCI Clock (Enable/Disable)

Reply: (edit)As to the 3dmark score I thought it was relatively low to your settings. Or maybe I'm wrong but I was able to get my MX440 to somewhere near 7500 by simple tweaking without overclocking my processor I did however overclock my card. 300/475 and from that overclocking experience I found overclocking memory provide little gain in score instead it was the 10-11% increase in GPU speed that dramatically brought up my score. Another thing I was going to mention is in the newer drivers maybe 40.72. The Application -- Balance -- Aggressive settings appears. By sliding the scale to Aggressive I received 1000 or 1500 extra points I did a while back so I can't remember but it was a big increase gotta be over 1000.

Reply: (edit)Thanks J5im8yo, I am already set to aggressive w/41.09 driver and I had to drop my Memory back to 540 to clear up an issue at 1280x1024; my current scores are as follows: 12590 @ 800x600 32bit 10890 @ 1024x768 32bit 8944 @ 1280x1024 32bit Maybe I got a bum card; not to mention; I already had to send away to Tt for a new HSF for this card. Only had 3 months hadn't o/c'd at that point when the fan started acting up. They wanted me to send it in and weren't gonno guaranty a replacement card. Oh, did I mention it may have took up to 2 1/2 months to get it back....Should have bought that ATI 9700, maybe next month!!
