How high have you guys gotten the MX to without adding a fan. I got 185/195 with my MSI StarForce 816.

I have a Prophet 2 mx overclocked to 200/210.It's as solid as a rock

I've had two VisionTek Geforce2 MXs, and both only clocked up to 185/190. Not really much of a performance gain. I think the Prophet 2 uses better memory.

195/225 Without a fan. Then I slapped on some heatsinks on the memorychips and a fan for the GPU and I got 205/250!
The card?
The one and only MX "Gainward Cardexpert MX Golden Sample"

Boy am I full of it - in every respect.

225 w/o any heatsinks on the ram??? What kind of memory is on there?

It's 5.5ns Elite memory. I haven't heard of any other card that uses it. (Though I'm not sure about the card from SUMA)
I'm very pleased with it. I'm on the search now for a program that can take it over 250MHz, because I think it will do that pretty well with the cooling I've applied. Hopefully it can do 260-270 MHz.

Boy am I full of it - in every respect.

I have my Creative Mx at 210/360(DDR). Will try it if I get it any higher. But I am runnig it at stock speed because my PII 515 is the bottelneck, wont get any higher fps if i overclock or not.

What kind of fans/heatsinks did you use?

i saw a GEFORCE2 MX cooler but it was rather expensive.. would an old processor cooling fan work?
there already is a sink on the processor...

i have an Asus V7100.

Hmmm, avoid the eVga.com GeForce2 MX. I can get my core up to 210 easily, but I can't bring my memory beyond 166. If I clock it any higher, I immediately get purple pixels all over my screen, and 3D gaming is a different story.

Unless, someone knows something I'm doing wrong, I'm fairly certain the eVga.com GF2MX memory sucks.

I use a Leadtek Geforce 2mx, it's cool 'cos it comes with a heatsink and fan already attached. I run at 200 / 205 rock solid!

Ditto on the Leadtek GeForce2 MX. I bought it because of the HSF and TV out (haven't tried that yet). Mine does fine at 210Mem/200 Core. I have a fan setup I bought that sits over the backplane/video card that cools the video & MB chipset, though.

hi guys i have been reading your posts here about you overclocking your video cards. can u tell me about what these ratios x/y mean? just give me a little info about this stuff so i can follow your discussions? sorry and thanks

TankDawg,
The first figure is the memory speed, while the 2nd is the GPU speed, both in Megahertz. Most boards are supplied with a utility that allows you to change these speeds from the default. I had to download and use the PowerStrip utility since I'm using the ELSA Revelator 3d glasses' driver.
I wouldn't try OC'ing to this level w/o a HSF on the GPU and a fan blowing on the memory chips.

I have my GF2 GTS overclocked as high as the settings will let me... of course i have a custom cooling system

i don't remember offhand what the settings are but i will dig for them

Old processor cooling fans work great! I use them on almost every card I overclock! (except the ones with fans already on them!)

how did you overclock it? i have an ASUS V7100 with tv out, but i can't find the sliderbar to increase the speed. My creative TNT2 Vanta did have this option...

My ELSA GeForce 2 MX Is running well... 200/225 with no cooling beyond the stock Heatsink on the GPU.

I won't run it at that rate until I get some better cooling. I'm going to put a case fan and spare Socket 7 HS Fan to blow across the RAM and GPU.

I'm impressed for a cheap MX Board!!

X/Y = GPU Core clock speed/Graphics memory clock speed, usually. Some people reverse the order. It's not intended as ratio just a pairing of the two speeds.

Actually, since I don't know what the base core and memory clock speeds are for Geforce 2 MX cards I don't know how well everyone is doing at overclocking. (The best I have done with my old Geforce256 SDR is 145 Core/210 memory but it only runs long enough to complete the 3DMARK 2000).
