I think I can pull as much as 18k ti4200 air cooled

before any of you flame me, let me explain.

first of all, see the above link? I still need someone with v modding experience to confirm that a 1k ohm resistor is indeed the right value. do all ti4200s and ti4600s use 1k ohm for the core? does it depend on resisance? what about the numbers on the volt controller chip? No one knows so far :(


anyway I can pull 16.5k now at 229x10(no longer works since L12 mod) or 235x9.5(may be more like 16.4k) however im gonna v mod my ti4200 first and see what happens. If I get 800+ marks increase from just a v mod, then somehow getting a cpu thatll do 235x11 for 2.59GHz could propel me to 18k. 2.23GHz to 2.59 is a 360MHz increase in cpu clock. This is worth 800 marks if not more. I know cause I gained 700 marks back on a kt400 with ti4200 at 290/600 clocks. I now have a nf7-s, dual channel and a much faster ti4200 so it all should scale better! I estimate 102-105fps in car chase high details. only thing is I need a cpu capable of 2.59GHz at 1.85v or maybe 1.9v if the volt bug doesnt limit me that much. 10.5 and 10 multis are useless at past 220fsb, a well known nf7-s bug. same with high volts at high fsb :(

good luck with that :) thats some nice fsb uve reached on just air, not a chance of doing that here in australia.

Looks good! Looks like you could do it if the v-mod goes well. Best of luck to you!

Good luck. I got a little over 100fps in Car high with Tbred@225x11,5 (~2,6G), 2-3-2-10 and 9500Pro (about as fast as your GF4), just so you know what to expect.

Geforce4ti4200, all Ti4200's do NOT use a 1k ohm resistor for the core. It does depend on the resistance you measure. Normally you want to use a VR that is 10x or 20x the resistance you measure. So a 1k or 2k VR would work just fine if you measured 96.8 ohms. Note that my Asus 9480TVD Ti4200 video card measured 741 ohms for the GPU, so I used a 10k ohm VR.

I would suggest that you measure the voltage on your video card before you install the VR, so that you know the default voltage. Then set the VR at its max resistance, power up your computer, and start lowering the resistance until you get the voltage you want.

I installed my VR's by soldering 2 of the leads from a female 3-pin connector from an old fan to the video card (pins 11 and 14 on your video card). Then you can simply plug the VR into the 3-pin connector. This allows you to remove the VR when you don't need the extra voltage. Also, you can solder to any ground on the video card (instead of pin 14).
