GeForce2 MX Highest?

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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...

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).

I would say at the point at which the GPU or the memory failed. You would use them to squeeze that last little bit of performance out of your graphics card and to increase stability when you get to that point. That's the theory, anyway. Taking it that high might be risky but this is an overclocking forum.

By the way, does anyone know if nVidia GPUs have any thermal protection should they severely overheat?

"I don't think. I know!" or is it, "I don't think I know!"

I've got my Leadtek MX to 235/215 core/mem, rock stable, stock fan on GPU.

reverse the order there bub, 175 core, 166 mem.
I can get an even 190/190 out of an Asus 7100.
I can probably get more, but this POS compaq is my only decent system.
Abit KT7A on the way...

Thanks 74merc,

I realized my mistake after I posted but it was too late to edit. :-P

I'm glad someone noticed.

PS What's the best way to attach those GPU coolers? Thermal Tape?

Ive got a Creative Anhilaotr2 mx and the mems at 302 now no cooling and I played Q3 in 1024x768 32bit for 2 hours no stabilty issues came up . Iam going to rig up some heat sinks Ive got lying around (old celeron add ons) and cool it before I trip the Core speed up beyond its default (174)

leadtek geforce2 mx dh pro
220 core 217mem
all stock but I will soon add a big fan
where do you get the mem heat sinks?

Does anyone know where I can get these smaller heatsinks to stick on the RAM?

Also, anyone know where I can get a decent price on silver thermal grease?

-AMD's are not for the faint of heart... Intels? those are for newbies )-

Dudes...don't how ya get 205/250, but I can maximum get 243/227 ! Is it dangeraus? If I will use better fan will it go higher?

i always wondered why most of you bothered OCing the core even thou it does nothing. maybe its fun to OC but do you leave the core at OC or clock it back and just leave the ram OCed

First I bought Anihilator GeForce2 MX with DDR, but it's DDR memery just sux and showed VERY low frames and i tried CardExpert with 5.5SDRAm and it showed MUCH MORE FRAMES then Anihilator.......WHY??????

in 3d mark 2001 overclocking the core gave me another 30 points

Hercules Prophet II MX running at 205/210, no additional
equipment. Rock solid.

"I can probably get it to 300/300. At that speed it would probably perform like a GeForce2 Ultra because DDR RAM seems to be less efficent than SDR RAM and the T&L engine's performance is directly related to the core's clock speed. I haven't actually calculated it but at 300Mhz, the card can pump around 35 million triangles a second"

No, you won't get the core running 300mhz without a tec.
No, your memory will not run at 300mhz.
No, even if it was running at 300mhz it would not come anywhere near a geforce 2 ultra.
The load games put on the t&l engine is so small it wouldn't matter much. DDR is better than SDR at the same clock speed, not the other way around.

My leadtek MX ran at 215mhz core and 250mhz memory speeds stock. Comes with hardware sensors too.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by m_kelder on 07/07/01 05:17 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

My Innovison Tornardo MX400 64megger I can overclock 225core/180mem. Anything above either locks up (if I increase the core) or has such severe artifact that it is pointless to try to get more out of it. The memory is the biggest hinderance on this cheap MX400. Borderline Junk.

What are you talking about? My card isn't even overheating! I can get it 300/260 perfectly too! No crashes no artifacts! The maximum temp I have ever seen is 60oC. It's usually in the high 40's to low 50's. But then again I am using a high-RPM slot fan...I've been running at 260/260 for 2 months now, no signs of problems or failures and I don't even care too much because I'm getting either a Radeon 8500 or GeForce3 later this year.

I'm currently getting ~90fps in HQMAX at 1024*768*32 with the Detonator4 drivers in Quake III Four demo.

Are you sure you are using the same as revision as I am? I don't recall my revision of the v7100 Pro, but make sure yours has at least 4.5ns EliteMT RAM. Also, make sure your graphics card HSF looks like the one at http://www.asus.com/products/addon [...] spec.html.

How do you mount the fans onto the geforce2mx?
I found this old pentium chassis fan that is 80x80x25mm.
It has red/black wires, at the end, there is a 4 pin wide connector.

Theres no slot/screw holes on the gf2mx so u can put the fan onto the heatsink.
So do you have to glue the fan onto the heatsink?
