ok i just got a gforce mx4000 64mb. it has a heatsink. I am using coolbits to overclock. what is a safe overclock.

right now manual is:

core clock freq. 275 mhz

memory clock freq 332.

is the Test changes button there so I dont mess my equipment up?
 
if you are doing it in manual set it to what you want and test the changes. if it passes you MIGHT be able to use it. I still suggest putting the card under a load for a while after an OC to make sure its 100% stable. im not to sure what the max you can get on that card. you can also use the detect optimal frequencies. run it about 6 times or so and then get an average and try running that.
 
You need to have '3D' selected in the 'settings' part of the nVidia control panel where you're looking at the clock frequency sliders.
 
maybe thats why i cant figure it out. i cant find where i switch to 3d.


* it just has 2 options

no overclocking and manual overclocking. nothing about 2d or 3d.
 
If you select 'manual overclocking', you get a warning that you have to agree to and then you are able to change the 'settings' option on that same tab.
